Post your feelings, thoughts, quasi-normalfag opinions and musings about videogames here. >Halo 3 This may come as a shock to some of you older anons out there but I was just a little too young to really experience the hype around a lot of big events, like WoW getting big, or the sixth and seventh gen console launches, or the excitement surrounding the Halo franchise. I loved Halo and was really invested in it as a wee lad, playing all the games and reading all the books in my free time, but even by the time the ads surrounding Halo 3 came out I knew I was missing the biggest part of the hype. The collectible 7-11 cups, mail-in rewards, E3 previews and playing the game online when it first came out... A lot of that I had to live vicariously through watching my older brother playing the game with his friends. It's not the only thing I wish I experienced but it's one of those things I wish I was there to live through first-hand, to be the right audience, age, and interest for, instead of just watching it happen from a distance. I feel that way about a lot of 90's/00's games, but especially Halo and other big franchises like Doom and Half-Life 2 too. In my eyes the original Halo trilogy was one of the last real videogame-y series to get hyped up to the right degree, it was massive and it was popular, and wasn't just some astroturfed campaign to make it seem that way. It's something I wish I could have better experienced, along with a lot of 360 games that come out around that time. The Chief was a role model to little me, and I wanted to help him finish the fight.
>>2134 Am I wrong? Comics in the 90's-00's weren't great but they were still readable and generally niche before the TV and movie industries went overdrive with like a dozen adaptations of everything, then it all became mainstream shit on the back of every soccer mom and Hot Topic display case. I'm looking at you, The Walking Dead.
How do you guys figure out what to play, or how to manage your vidya time? It feels nearly impossible to make a backlog and stick to it, sometimes I wonder if I just have ADHD because my focus is so scattered and it feels like there's less and less time in each day. And being a full time wagie doesn't help either.
>>2196 I only play one video game
>>2196 What I do is pick something and see if I like it, then I just go with it. Don't play MP games or live service shit because they'll suck up all your time. Also don't waste your time browsing social media.
>>2196 I don't figure out what to play and just pick randomly from my collection.
I was playing manhunt on my ps2 emulator now but my controller stopped working unfortunately, im going to order a new usb joystick soon, probably... the cheapest pos i can find.
>>2735 >Not playing emulated games solely with keyboard controls Pleb.
>>2740 Peace of fuck nothing life

>>3026 I WANNA SHOWER HER IN COCONUT CREAMPIES.
Talking about monkeys, this Redustheriot fella draws some nice ones.
If the entire entertainment industry shut down right now, nothing of value would be lost. There is enough existing books, movies, TV shows, music, comic books, toys, video games, etc that no one can enjoy even a small percentage of it before they die. If the industry shuts down you have enough to keep you entertained. Very little new comes out anymore worth my time as it is while the industry fucks your consumer rights in the ass with DRM, DLC, "always online", digital "sales" which they can revoke when they feel like it, treating piracy worse than real crimes & all the politicians who bend over backwards to coddle their greed such as (((Trump))) passing that music copyright law or Obama's TPP. You bend over & take it, too. I'd rather see this shitshow die & these CEOs go without their wine-tasting festival tickets than it devolve into a rental service where you go to prison if you don't go along with it. Most Indie games are shit too. Derivative work at best, graphics are lazy because 1 guy working on a game isn't going to put in a million dollar budget of effort. "Hentai" games are usually just a pile of rape fantasy art because the dev is mentally ill & hates women. Even if it is a goof game it's still just a variant remake of an existing game, if not an outright fan game that the IP holder will shut down yet the fucker made it anyway. Most have no info included with them about system requirements(if your 8-bit game needs Windows 10 & a beefy GPU, you fucked up) & lack the ability to remap controls. It would also shut up the small dick pedophiles screaming "WAAAAH BLACK CHARCATER! BAAAAW WOMAN CHARACTER! WOOOOOKE! White genocide is REAL!" every fucking game that comes out. It's always some overweight motherfucker with ungroomed facial hair, brown hair & brown eyes & 50% chance he wears glasses pretending he's some Aryan soldier doing it too.
>>3080 Good pasta, agreed
>>2743 what did he mean by this
>>962 >pay 20 bucks for a model of a room you load your actual ROMs into I don't imagine it would be hard to make something like this yourself. The reviews also all say the multiplayer is fake?
I have wanted to build a new PC for years now but I just can't justify it with money being so tight and the future looking so uncertain with so little time and wiggle room for anything. I'm an adult and have a job and disposable income but I don't have the time, energy, or lack of sense to invest so much into vidya anymore, it feels like I've been drained of everything I had already.
>>3125 if money is tight just wait until it isn't, the games aren't going anywhere

>>3125 Either dad it up or find another hobby. Just for the love of all that's holy don't sit the fuck down in front of the TV.
>>3127 I hit that point when I was a teenager, at this point I think I just pay videogames out of habit. Same thing with everything else.
Had the entire day for myself today and was planning on just playing cs2, now I'm here playing meet and fuck kingdom it's amazing how valve fucking ruined this game, i can't even have a modicum of csgo in my life now.
>>3444 Having never played Counter-Strike, why do people hate CS2 so much?
>>3446 Runs like garbage feels like garbage
>>3446 You get VAC banned for using basic console commands and online got quickly raped by hackers.
>>3444 >Playing live service F2P shit Your own fault, I'm playing Armored Core 6 and having fun.
I miss the 360 era. Mainly because I was a teenager and spent days at a time during summer break gaming but also because I have a very high opinion of many of those games and that time. Dead Space and Lost Planet still live rent free in my mind even a decade after their respective series both died a quick death.
>>3478 Yeah i know the steam jew yadda yadda
I miss the days of games coming in physical jewel cases with manuals full of beautiful art and bursting with useful info and enough lore to pull you into the game before even getting to the title screen. In some other world the 2000s never ended and that magic still lives on, at least that's what I like to believe.
>>3489 Don't you mean radda radda?
>>3780 My favorite era of games did use jewel cases, but no, they sucked. The DVD cases we got later were much better. Much less fragile. We still have those, but manuals are gone, and the physical games inside are frequently not even complete, even they even exist at all. Fuck this gay Earth.
>>3780 You should make manuals for your favorite games.
