LIVE AMMO COSPLAY posted:Goons are video game boomers who only accept FOMO targeted at themselves. goon generation bore witness to the deprivations of the Atari Shock crash of '83, gamers starving in the streets, mass graves of cartridges, the only way to heal was to go home and give life to more gamers, a great gaming mass of game magazine pageturners and word of mouth cheatcode traders, a gaming standard of life never before seen on this planet and never to be seen again, stretching over 7 future console gens. the millennial gaming boomers loomed large over the 'bit war', and the journalism in videogames debate, flocked to the internet message board culture wars to espouse free love of day-glo neon after the conflict years of grimdark grey and brown, embraced hyper gaming individuality and personal microtransaction freedom, and supped from the chalice of the greatest gaming social safety net ever known to humankind, only to then turn around and disenfranchise the younger gaming zoomers through GOTY voter suppression, geriatric adoption of motion peripherals, and patronage of 10-hour youtube reviews. in the end the millennial gaming boomers extracted every last proprietary memory card out of mother gaea until future gaming audiences could no longer save progress, and gaming civilization as we know it ended. in the great scattering that occurred after gen 9 communities would cohere their identity around the scraps of what was left over, a stockpile of Tiger handhelds, Tony Hawk Ride motion skateboards, and hardbound FROMSOFT art books. gamers of the dark centuries to follow would ponder the folly of their forbears as they tabletop rpg'd: alas! the insatiable gaming thirst of the gaming boomers, the ineluctable console shortages, grown men selling their families into debt and slavery for a taste of controller haptics, and for a brief and shining moment...no load times! the gaming boomers had devoured it all, selfishly lived thousands of gaming lifetimes in only a few short decades and left nothing for the future. they had damned their children and thus damned their own names in perpetuity...and yet, that gaming gilded age, that great gleaming Let's Play on the horizon... truly what a time to be alive.

I played my PS2 online quite a bit. My Xbox not so much. SOCOM 1+2 and Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow were dope as hell.

bushisms.txt posted:Oblivion was also the harbinger of the eventual "consolification" of game development, where advanced systems and mechanics were dumped due to accessibility via controllers. We're just recovering from this, mainly due to indie devs. John F Bennett posted:Just looking at games that are traditionally PC, strategy stuff such as Stellaris and Civilization 6, they did a fantastic job with the console versions of those. It's the exact games but they just reworked the control system for controllers. And as a lifelong Civ player who bought all Civ games for PC, I actually prefer the console edition. The controls are great and PC nerds thought it couldn't be done. Can't wait until Microsoft finally ports Excel to Xbox. this is an interesting subject because bushisms might be onto something as far as broad industry trends, but that being said i think it all had more to do with a lack of controller layout standardization in the early 00s and the general trend of making GBS threads out bad ports with no thought for adapting to interfaces. by the time we reached 2010 not only were there a fuckton more people using controllers on PC but you also find devs porting PC games to console and reworking their interfaces entirely to work smoothly (ie XCOM). nowadays it feels like bad controller support or bad menu design and integration is more of a rarity. i think of Diablo 2 Resurrected ofr example, where yeah the PC menu interface is still slightly more flexible and speedy, but the console controller shortcuts and overall controller interface design is well thought out and extremely comfortable and convenient. on some level i think this would've been unthinkable in 2005-2006.

the first time i ever saw oblivion was at my friend's house, his flatmate was playing it on a big tv in the next room and i think the first words out of my mouth were "that looks like poo poo" i then went back into the main room and continued playing shadow of the colossus on a PS2 at 15fps

I liked Halo 1, not at first but I eventually came around to it during college and had fun with friends. I bought a used xbox for 40 bux in advance of Halo 2 and to this day Halo 2 remains the only game I have ever purchased new for an MS console.
