>>1325 Because Blow treated it as such and it was a time period where games media loved to dickride auteur types. He's a great game designer but insanely up his own ass. Did you hear they released a new version with almost twice the levels? I haven't checked it out yet but I might play it again.

>>2065 >>1323 IT AINT NO POINT TO THE GAME

>>1325 I remember taking a mandatory "game design" class at the uni and the teacher (professional game designer and game critic LOL) was also fellating it like crazy. He was also really big into that shitty 17 pixels-high game where you just go right all the time and can't go left and die at the end because IT REPRESENTS LIFE AND THE CHOICES WE MAKE DURING LIFE DO YOU GET IT YET VIDEO GAMES ARE ART I'M FUCKING COMING THANKS OP MINE DONG FLEW OUT THE WINDOW

>>2102 Oh my god you reminded me of all those shitty art games around circa 2006-2013. It's embarrassing to look back on that era especially considering I bought into a lot for awhile. They were always fucking web and flash games too, weren't they? It took playing The Stanley Parable to make me question the validity of titles like Dear Esther and One Chance, because Stanley Parable was doing the kind of thing they were attempting to but was actually clever and didn't make me feel like I had to force myself to enjoy it as not to be "anti-intellectual". The rather muted response to Everybody's Gone to the Rapture signaled the end for these games in my opinion. You still see them sometimes, but with the advent of titles like The Talos Principle and Pathologic 2 you just can't get away with that pretentious wank like you could 15 years ago when journos were desperate for "smart" games to prove the games were mature and "actually totally art, guys!"

>>2104 I've never played the Stanley Parable, but it had a mostly sarcastic tone, didn't it? Shitty art games had probably been around long enough for them to have a lot of material to mock.

>>1232 >Did that franchise with a jewish Gary Stu finally died? Yeah, New Colossus did less than the previous game and the sequel to that flopped hard. Guy who pushed most of the bad ideas is gone now and the Swedecucks at Machine Games are making the Indiana Jones game. I doubt they'll touch the IP anytime soon.

Fuck this game

>>2109 It such a shame though since wolfenstein was much better than DOOD had actual level design and dual wielding weapons especially the ricochet shotguns. It got butchered by the jew insertion. I heard they (DEI) specifically targeted this franchise because it had nazi imagery and was at height of 2016 elections going forward

>>2189 The writing of that game still confuses me. >Nazis get futuristic tech and conquer the world >This turns out to be ancient Jew tech >Jews were aware of this tech and chose not to share it with the world for thousands of years, even when the Nazis used it to conquer the world and exterminate billions of people

>>2172 That game was dissappointing in every field.

>>2172 >>2191 Was that the weird VR voice command game where you'd say spells to cast them or some shit?

>>2192 No, it was some first person brawler/shooter game where you play as a mage. You could craft magic spells using sigils and you could have lightning AoE or flame spells or whatever, with rarity levels similar to Borderlands. I remember not liking it, it was slow, kind of dull, the enemies were dumb, the levels were painfully linear, what I remember from the story was just retarded... I wouldn't say it's the worst game ever made, but it was forgettable. I had more fun with Ziggurat.

>>2193 Oh yeah, Ziggurat was great. Got a little dull after a few playthroughs but I ended up 100%'ing it. Still haven't checked out the sequel though.

Ever heard of 1942 on the NES? Probably that. I'm surprised AVGN never did an episode on it, it's far worse than Friday the 13th or Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. Imagine the slowest, most uneventful, content-less, boring game possible, with "music" that literally sounds like a cashier scanning barcodes. Now imagine 32 levels of it. You get a game over, it's back to the beginning. Even if you do a perfect 1CC of the game, it's like an hour an a half long. Mind-numbing.

The word simulator would've been apt for this game.

>>2409 Ha! I too remember when console ports of arcade games were godawful. It began with Pac-Man.

>>481 What are some features that just kills your joy? Mine are: >Game offers high difficulty mode if you thought the main one was easier than a Fisher Price toy >Makes the controls so fucking sluggish, hit detection won't fucking work <I'm talking about Last of Us >Addictive multiplayer class shooter >Uh-oh better keep the game relevant, let's update it beyond from recognition and it fucking crashes more often in the middle of a match >But hey at least you got an overpriced polygon <I'm talking about SMNC, Paladins, Loadout, every fucking game that tried to compete with Team Fortress 2 Vintage Fortress 2 was too good for this world, I hope the other TF2 offshoots don't meet the same fate, despite the main game shitting itself more often with the 64bit update.

>>481 This trashfire, I had no idea going in what it was just picked it up second hand thankfully very cheap, still a rip off, they should have given *me* money for taking it out of the building, it went straight back the same day. A trite as fuck played out buggy cynical 'stop the ebul nuke thieves' vehicle for a Mickey fuckin' cocksuckin' shitfuck cuntbag Rourke voiced asshole to stab bullet allergic Best Koreans in retarded ways then god-awfully shoot bullet sponge Best Koreans in powersuits in boring ways for 4 hours then a shitty song plays over the credits (of a group of people who should commit suicide for the good of mankind) where all the times he humourlessly barked super edgy swears like 'fuck' and 'cocksucker' and 'shitfuck' throughout the game, (which is around 8000 times) are all brought back for a great old nostalgic trip back to the FOUR fucking hours you just spent listening to this same shitnoise. Mickey Rourke deserves a slap for agreeing to lend his voice to it then a kick in the balls for reading the script and still doing it cos fuck me it's like some 12 year old who just learned to swear wrote it,

>>2537 Tf2 Vintage was trashfire and the dev and his discord circlejerk took it down with them. TF2C is the best mod of the game precisely because it kept to its original goal and balanced fun. Open fortress looks good but I don't fancy it. Every single class based shooter that tried to "compete" with TF2 met a same fate because it tried to ape other games too much and was no longer fun. Too frequent of updates, lost its own identity, people simply went to play other games and never looked back.

>>1232 "Badass masculene Christian godwarrior" Doomslayer was retconned into being BJ's descendant so he's now canon Jewish. >>2189 >the jew insertion It was anti-Nazi from day 1 you stupid asshole! I bet you're one of those Trump's Deranged Supporter pricks that got mad at Rage Against The Machine in 2022 for being "leftists" when they've been since the 90s. Your failed painter lost, get over it.

>>2562 Has anyone tried Pre-Fortress 2? It's like another Day of Defeat, sometimes it gets traffic on weekends. >>2575 >BJ's <911 was an inside blow job But he had throw away his jewish beliefs because hell exists and not the wheat reincarnation.

Gabe Newell Simulator. This was the first game I ever refunded. I knew it was just gonna be a shitpost, but I didn't think it was gonna be with a capital SHIT.

>>2189 Not gonna lie, the dual wielded ricochet shotgun was best implementation of a shotgun since the original double barelled shotgun

>>2409 The thing is that a lot of games were like that back then. Also, when a game's biggest crime is being pretty boring, that's hard to make funny. Plus, James Rolfe and the slobs writing his show now don't seem to be into shooters like this in the first place. The only one I remember him ever mentioning positively is Life Force. If you don't like the genre, it's easy to see them as just all being the same. 1943 is awesome though.

>>3160 Couldn't they have the fat fuck sit there and jerk off to their shitacular games? A nice piece of satire that requires no effort, in which the player is only capable to move the camera and whenever Gabe needs to shit that's where the real adventure starts.

>>3230 He's currently not so fat of a fuck.

>>481 Both Dead Island games: >Forcing you to play in first person because third person would make the game easy as shit, making it impossible for you to see what's damaging the character >Stiff controls and slow as shit movement even if you choose the fastest survivor >Terrible fucking jokes and forced voice acting, literally that millennial writing video in which they pin point what ruined gaming just to cater their NPC hipster kind >Ugly as shit character design, but then rave party tards are know for looking like drug riddled filled with STD living trainwrecks >>3231 He still looks like shit, like ReviewTechUSA who had his fat sucked out.

>>3231 He looks evil now. Like a garden gnome that managed to grow up.

>>3258 Could've sworn there was a picture associated with that post (gnome Chompsky)

>>3260 >Chompsky Jeffrey Gabepstein

>>3231 Holy ozempic

>>3290 I don't know why people say this about every person that loses weight, people said this about some British royal and it turned out she had cancer. Most also only lose 15-20 pounds, if you're a hyper fat fuck like Gabe was it would be of limited help.

>>3292 People say that because Ozempic has gained some fame these days.

>>3290 >>3292

>>3300 Grim

>>3231 >>3253 His head looks fatter than his body, like what he did still left it fat.
