I would just keep jumping between nations in HOI4, let the AI build an army for me, use it, wreck it, switch to the next nation.

It's not all that common, supplying both sides.

But it happened for real in Iran-Iraq War where both sides were hated by the world. And the biggest global alliance faction was "both sides".

Albatross 18 / PangYa - anyone remember this?

This Korean game began in 2004 and had several seasons. Got a Wii adaptation in 2006 called "Swing Golf PangYa" ported in English as "Super Swing Golf".

in 2011 they had an expansion called Wiz City https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caogK7f8Djw

which is about when it got a Steam group https://steamcommunity.com/groups/albatross18

I remember running this back on my Vista PC, it was just a nice zen waifu fest. I want something like this again. Not a golf fan but it made me want to try.

Not sure when this game fell apart, maybe 2012ish? I'll admit not to playing it in it's end stages since my PC was having probs gaming and I'd switched to anime.

I'm wondering if finding the ROMs for Wii emulatorwould be the closest I'd get to playing the original PC game again. I'm just curious how it felt, I don't remember clearly.

I only got back into gaming recently, and while there are some simple games I do enjoy playing, there are other more complex games, that I just enjoy watching guides and gameplay of rather than playing myself.

Lately I've been watching cinematic battles from WH3. And while I'm a big history buff and not into fantasy. I can see now why Total War has moved in a more fantasy direction. Men in identical uniforms shooting spears, muskets or tanks at each other, just doesn't compared to dinosaurs battling magic mummies.

Its just so cinematic. Like a whole fantasy series of novels, shows, films lead up to this climactic epic battle. But its all climax no plot needed.

So let's talk about consuming rather than playing gameplay.

And in the opposite direction a peaceful scenic tour around the RDR2 map.

I've heard a lot about RDR2, but never had much desire to play it, and gunsling and story. I just wanted to tour the map.

And its like a 3d version of like old 1890s city footage. Feels like a time machine.

And rather than wandering alone. Being on a horse carriage. It feels like you're some rich nut who paid a taxi cab to take you across the USA.

If you enjoy the realism of the scenery in RDR2, you might enjoy destination journeys and tours done in Euro Truck Simulator and Flight Simulator. I personally enjoy these atmospheric ambient / downtempo music loops and mixes played over driving game footage.

I think there is just something “magical” about old games, like someone’s great ideas put in to the limitations of a early 2000s game engine that was handcrafted by a passionate nerd. I think limitations and those unique oversights/bugs were really what spawned great games.

These days it’s just like every single game is extremely high fidelity. We have more than enough resources to throw at anything now, there are almost no limitations, things are homogenized, most everything is running in Unreal or Unity engine.

It feels almost like the frontier of gaming is over, all that’s left is businessmen producing calculated slop over and over again, sequels on sequels. Devs these days aren’t building their dreams, they’re just building a paycheck.

What do you think? Was old really better or is it nostalgia

Theres a limited number of games that are good in the same way there are a limited amount of sports that can be popular. You only got like 5 sports people play and it can't get any better than that. Likewise there are only like 10-15 good games and you can't come up with anything new. All the best games have already been released. This is what modern gaming struggles with. They can't think of new ideas for something that hasn't already been done so they are rehashing and mixing elements of the past games and taking away the soul and replacing it with wokeshit and modern business practices. I've been playing the same exact games with a few exceptions for the past 13 years and haven't grown bored of them in the same way a person can watch or play football all their life and not get bored of it. Here are the good games of each genre.

FPS genre
Earlier CODs
Gears trilogy
Halo 3
Team fortress 2 and a few other class based shooters
Counter strike

And theres not much else in the way of shooters. I'm talking about legacy games that people play for decades. So there are plenty of other good games from the time but those are the main ones.
I'm gonna be completely honest and say i don't know enough to make a statement about other genres like RPGs but with shooters this is the case. There are also fighting games like street fighter and mortal kombat which are fossilized genres which never change. Meaning that their combat is always the same with no significant changes. If it were to evolve it would go 3d arena style but fighting game fans are the most stubborn traditionalists. I want more melee combat games but unfortunately chivalry and mordhau are niche games that only a few autists really like. Without killstreaks and gimmicks people will never appreciate those games. and competitive players already exploited them to the ground.

Older games were worse but older communities were better, for a variety of reasons, from less big sponsor monetization (a la e-sports), higher barrier of entry both technical and finantial, and there being less people overall, which led to closer communities, servers and so on.
Also I dont know how to articulate this but people were less afraid of being part of something. People in somethingawful or forechan or whatever other forum made SA or forechan guilds, servers, maps, mods,… This never happens anymore, and when it happens its actively mocked because its considered "reddit" to be part of a community.
There's never going to be another 4chan mario kart tf2 map, its a historical artifact.

I often times like to fantasize what it would be like to travel back in time to, like, 2006 or 1994. Really, nothing much has changed except for entertainment and electronics. I would more than likely be terribly bored in 1994 with no internet, no computers, no cellphones, nothing portable like a Gameboy back then for me either, and the only games I had to play were platformers like Super Mario World, Sonic, and Star Wars.

2006, however, would be a somewhat different story. I had two PCs and a cellphone with internet and Tetris. I would still miss a lot. I sold the last of my consoles (Playstation 1 and N64) around 2003 and didn't have any consoles of my own again until I got myself a PS3 in 2011 and a PS4 in 2016. Since my PCs were pretty much always outdated; I was stuck playing custom maps like on Starcraft Brood War and Warcraft 3 and various mods for Half-Life 1 and 2 for many years.

You know what I would've loved playing back in 2006? No Man's Sky. The closest I had to No Man's Sky back in 2006 was probably Wurm Online and promises by Maxis and Will Wright about Spore. I mean, sure, No Man's Sky was a piece of crap in 2018. But back in 2006? That game would've been incredible.

I've started playing some ps2 games such as drakengard and Persona 3, I got really tired of all the dark souls I played. Preferably give me a lot of japanese made games, although that isnt mandatory.

I've even thought of stooping to trying out anime games. Why is gaming so dead, bros? Everything is just chasing the shadow of the original IPs of the 2000s (halo, cod, gears, far cry) minus the soul, community and meta that made them good. Modern gaming is a sterile, soulless, monetized no-funfest.

How much longer can i play the same games? Where is the hope?

> you're just older, and zoomers will become older and have the same feelings for dogshit games

1000% wrong. Fortnite, valorant and even overwatch aren't going anywhere. Do you think nobody will be playing these games in 10 years? They are enormously popular, hell fortnite is already 6 years old and overwatch is 7. Think about how people still play tf2 16 years later. If people aren't playing games like fortnite 16 years from now you can bet they will just be playing fortnite 2 which is the same exact game.

triple A titles have very few new IPs that people actually like. They are just re-releasing shit that they made in the 2000s. Gears of war, endless cods, red dead, Mortal Kombat, ect. People are just playing heavily monetized, sterile versions of those.

So why not play older games? There's a lot of games from the past that you can play, you don't have to play newer games if you don't like it. Honestly I had this sort-of angst about newer video games too but it's just useless to care about when older games aren't gonna go anywhere. Even old online games have communities, some are still thriving even.

And I wouldn't chalk this feeling that you have up to nostalgia, trying to do is too reductive and completely ignores a lot of the change that has come to define modern day games. Change is not the same as progress. In this day and age I think there's so much excess in computational power that I feel goes to complete waste, which is why I have a sense of unease seeing newer games with "ultra-realistic game-changing" graphics that end up just feeling like an incredibly expensive novelty.

Gaming has been getting worse for a decade at the very least. Mainly because of heavy, heavy monetisation. People are literally paying a 1/4 of the price of a full game for a fucking skin.

Can anyone tell me why you need to bother with proper PC gaming? Between these two cheap options, I have 80% of gaming covered. I look at what's required to get a better computer and it's literally either wasting $500-700 on a 7 year out of date lurkan machine being peddled by electronics stores, or it's going full force and wasting $2000+ on parts like GPUs, new CPUs, etc. You can't really get a good GPU for less than $400 at the moment, that's more than I spent on my current set up. People just seem unwilling to sell old gaming computers like they do old consoles.

I keep on being told online that I'm just a fucking idiot and that I don't get PC gaming, and it's cheaper than console gaming if I actually do it properly. But where are these cheap computers being sold?

This might sound strange -or probably not- but has anyone acquired lucrative knowledge from video games? If so, please kindly share it, whatever it is.
I'll start.

I was playing a rpgm game which was tackling a narrative of an existence shimmering between awareness and non-awareness, where the overall antagonist together with a surprising other character –an ally, at that– were in a plot to reduce the world of awareness into a barren 'non-awareness' and what consequences would occur thereafter.
The game's journey towards the inevitable clash against the non-aware perpetrators alongside its thwart-evil conclusion were typical and yet I couldn't relent from thinking about the dualism it was tackling until it hit me what a perfect descriptor it is for a lot of problems, common and difficult alike.

In my understanding, a problem is always interpretable in two facets: problems brought by problematization which are caused without being any the wiser or 'aware' of causes to infelicity and problems that are unavoidable through one thing or another. Now, I'd like to think that the dividing line between these two is easy to draw but I'm sure argumentation is anticipatable so I won't elaborate on that further.
What interests me here are problems as a result of problematization.

I'll take something like social media addiction as an example.
It often is the case that a person addicted to social media has an obvious realization of this and yet cannot help but continue to tolerate it. Occasionally, he or she will take breaks propelled into action by external circumstances, not least of which are other people inclining them to do so, but will desist shortly after even if said external measures are still present. They simply cannot help but come back to it, no matter what.

Why is this? well, it's an addiction for a reason right? If just 'stop doing it' was enough, the label 'addiction' wouldn't be warranted. Similarly, culling the ignorance of the harmful 'consequences' and emphasizing them again and again are equally ineffective if not entirely meaningless as they do nothing to sway the person in question from avoiding social media.
Ignorance is not the issue, it never is and never was just like a guy who cranks it 5-10 times a day knows he's going overboard, so too does someone who spends 20 hours on 4chan, to give an example.

What's going on then? The game's narration construct has anPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I probably developed my driving skills over time from playing open world games that had vehicles like Grand Theft Auto, Watchdogs, Sleeping Dogs, Just Cause 2 and 3 etc. I spent a lot of time in games like that just driving around for hours and attempting to drive normally not focusing on missions. When I was old enough to start taking driving lessons I picked up on it easily and my instructor said I was a natural.

In Stronghold I learned how wheat was made and the pros of growing it but the cons of establishing the infrastructure. Morrowind taught me about racism, in that some people will hate you for no reason other than for just being who you are, and nothing you say or do can change their mind (my fault for playing Argonian).
