my first fps was uhhh probably marathon? and i had to surreptitiously install it on the family computer and hide it five folders deep somewhere because i wasn't allowed to have "killing games"

lmao at trying to pull a pc master race thing with a 90’s mac

I don't think I've ever gotten a computer game as a present. My dad was a big believer in piracy.

e: Wait gently caress no when I turned 30 I had a big party (I was renting basically a whole house, sans one room with its own entrance, that the owner used for storage). a friend gave me their old Xbox and Halo, and another one brought I think Morrowind, Panzer Dragoon Orta, and maybe a Tony Hank game?

oh now i remember that possibly it was my sister that bought me Dragon Wars back in the day. it was my first, and for years and years my only, original copy of an IBM PC game. (I still really like it and play through it every other year or so) I remember almost choosing 4D Boxing instead because it got such good reviews lol.

i mean it probably was the best boxing game around at the time, but i doubt it would've had the same staying power as dragon wars.

I still haven't played it. Was it as good as they said?

e: What I've got is American McGee's Bad Day L.A.. It's... it is and that's the kindest thing I can say about it.

The first game I clearly remember playing is the Commodore 64 version of Zaxxon.

The first game I remember buying is probably either a shareware disk of Commander Keen: Keen Dreams, or the Flintstones DOS game that didn't run unless you clicked the turbo button down to 33mhz.

Lots of copied shareware from my dad and his friends though.

it was certainly great at the time. a lot of what was great about it was the art design, so it might not hold up.

I played the demo of bad day LA, and of grimm iirc. they are not comparable

sadly waiting for kickstarted in the butt: a chuck tingle adventure still, but it’s not the longest kickstarter game i backed lol

at least this one sent a mug and shirt which, to be honest, is doing better than the digital spaceship demo engine backer rewards

i'm playing bl3 via psnow at the moment. it's got a lot of qol improvements over the previous entries and now i can never go back even though i bounced off of pre-sequel

moze is a pretty solid solo/sp choice and i like that respec is insanely cheap to do. also i found an assault rifle that shoots little rockets instead of bullets

I played the poo poo out of 1 and 2 but didn't enjoy 3 anywhere near as much for some reason. Maybe because I played as boring soldier man

never played 1 and probably never will. played 2 base game via ps+, haven't had the time to do it again via ps+ jack collection to do tiny tina dlc

3 isn't quite as good as the good parts of 2 but the bad parts of 3 are better than the bad parts of 2 (like the entire first ice area)

i just got a legendary inciendart sniper rifle that makes a little volcano come out when you kill someone. it's very good with moz

it's a dumb fun game

Love the aesthetic here, also the front-flip-headshot and jumping on a hospital gurney like some Neon Tequila


Yooooo this looks sick. Did you ever play The Specialists mod for HL1? A multiplayer mod a lot like this, inspired by John Woo and other action movies. Tons of guns, slow-mo, kung-fu, jumps flips and slides, and they managed to make it all work together well in multiplayer.
