Reach for the moon!
Wolfenstein TNO's gameplay is not very fun imo but it's mostly because the enemies all have too much health. Give me more enemies with less health over fewer enemies with more health any day.

i still don't know why the designers of mega man legends 2 decided, after finally getting decent controls, it would be a good idea to build several dungeons around making those controls feel like poop

it's a real shame cause i like all of the writing just as much as legends 1 but it's somehow less fun to play in big areas

You have to admit that the 3d in Tomba 2 is pretty gnarly.

Look I think we can all agree that Wolfenstein: The New Order revitalized first person shooters so both Halo and Half Life 2 are irrelevant now anyway. So let's talk about how great Wolfenstein is

Some of the best playing games in existence are psx games, a system that didn't have graphics so much as wobbly squares that impressionistically form an image on your retina

have you considered like first person shooters aren't your favorite games

like aren't you the guy whose favorite thing about the original doom is you can run by everyone without shooting them and slam the button at the end

My favorite thing about Doom is the shotgun.

I don't think WoW actually did much of anything first but I distinctly remember it being the first game I had ever heard of that ran on a subscription model, and, I mean, that's bad enough.

e: actually I might have heard of Meridian 59 before that but I don't recall if I made the connection

survival games and battle royale> day-z

Oh yeah. I don't really mind the Open World idea really. It's kinda fun in games to just hang out in a space and do whatever. It's just that a lot of games have open worlds just filled to the brim, without realizing that a World should just be. Also a lot of open world games play like crap but there are plenty that are good so it's kind of a wash. Also they have a 15 year pass for making the warriors game
