This was me in Wow original approximately 7 million years ago. I wonder how many players last moments were in Lower Blackrock Spire.

lol i played vanilla and quit at 55 because everynoe at the end game complained about it, it was a grind to get to 60 w no quests and all level 60s did was whine, complain, and grief

then i played wow classic and its marginally better than vanilla wow but i still quit at 59 while gearing up and doing black spires poo poo. i thin kthe only truly fun part of wow classic was massing some place as a guild until alliance organized enough to kick us out

yeah, I still have PTSD from grinding yeti's for what seemed like 20 hours trying to get to 60, no idea why I thought that was aspirational. a lot of the rest of it was pretty fun though. in a being addicted to drugs way.

Here's an unpopular videogame opinion for ya: Gamers have developed collective rose-tinted glasses for TIE Fighter. I loved the hell out of that game and X-Wing as a kid but I tried to play it again and holey moley that game sucks

Sodomy Hussein posted:

Yes and people loved it, probably because it was so chill. Everything was sort of "naturalistic" so Jedi characters were rare and could only be accomplished through a labyrinthine series of quests/tasks, as opposed to "roll Jedi toon," and it opened up a new aspect of interaction with other players, in that you would be on a PVP list for bounty hunters, but only if you used Jedi powers in public.

https://swg.fandom.com/wiki/Jedi_(pre-NGE)#Becoming_a_Jedi

In reality, what happened is that for a lot of people, relying on other people for basic functions ended up being clunky for people who wanted to make numbers go up and do things, and the lack of a jedi experience for most people ran a lot of star wars fans off. There were good reasons to go to the NGE, it just didn't work out the way anyone hoped.

In Red dead 2 foxes are effectively magnetized to horse hooves. Ride through some bushes and you're hear either fox or rabbit "heartbreaking_deathsound.wav"

Plus, the mystery and promise of the quest of Jedi was a lot more romantic than reality. You basically grind jobs randomly until you grind crystals that tell you which job to grind and level up next.

Here's a neat blog from one of the guys who worked on the game. Goes over what they wanted for Jedi, and some of the realities and what ended up happening: https://www.raphkoster.com/2015/04/16/a-jedi-saga/#more-25524

Yeah and BOTW, you hit foxes just because. They become meat. It's a challenge dodging them.

I used a trainer instead of killing the foxes in Horizon: Zero Dawn.

I wanted to play RE8 until I got to the part in the demo where you're slowly moving forward to see the invincible chaser enemy leave the room unaware of your presence and hey I've played this game already with the 3D models switched

and the merchant referencing ARE YOU BUYIN was a bit eyerolly

The only invincible chaser I've ever liked is Mr. X in Resident Evil 2 Remake. Unlike the others he's not the primary challenge, he's not a one hit kill, he obeys simple rules, you don't need to hide from him, you already have mastered the layout of the area he spawns into and once you finish that zone thats it, you're done you never go back and deal with him again (unless Leon in which case you get a like 2 room chase with him)

It was banned, but the only people that hunt foxes are rich white people so the ban is completely ignored and nobody will ever be prosecuted.

Lmao the ending boss of re8 is hilarious. Spoiling for courtesy....

some crazy trapper keeper mutant turns into a big metal robot and you are in a tank shooting him with machine guns and the game literally puts up a prompt telling you to use the tanks missile launcher whenever its needed, then when he blows up the tank he just listly sits there throwing out one liners expecting you to shoot him in the head until the inevitable QuickTime event.

Are game designers even trying anymore?

Is 7 the one where you go to the house of a thousand corpses to get your gf after she tells you not to?

That one gave my wife motion sickness so stopped playing it. Right up until the dad was chasing me around the house it was really cool and spooky, but then at that point I couldn't find the hatch in the floor for a bit, and it was just SUPER loving frustrating having him lumbering around, and all the fear factor dropped out the floor.

I thought the scene with the car in the garage was cool. Very typical 'rolleyes horror' stuff, but in a good way. I can see it had the potential to be a really awesome fun romp.

The mansion portion, once it opened up, was probably the closest thing to classic re we had gotten since 0 in 2002, even with the flaws and annoyances the game had it was an upturn compared to 5 and 6..

Resident Evil 6 is one of the worst "feeling" games I've ever played. Not in a way that made it unenjoyable, just it felt like schoolchildren programmed it or something. I dunno. Its pretty low quality

RE7 and RE8 have the FOV of a small dog cone and the pan speed of a dead tugboat. Need to use mods to make it playable.

Edit: It's also probably the reason why you couldn't find that hatch.
