Time for Shadowrun (2007)! Reminiscing about the time you could play with Windows Vista Gamers!

Watch the next generation start to miss the aesthetics of AI and Elsagate

Hell yes that's the stuff

oh wait, this one feels sociologically important! And kind of sad. that was pre-pandemic.. OG Fortnight was so 'Perfect' because your life was still new and free, and the world hadn't burdened you with knowledge of suffering, and the government kind of still worked, and services were functional...

this video better be about pre-battle royale fortnite or i'm gonna write a strongly worded letter to the author

Horror movies work the same way.

yeah but the timeline on that was like. as soon as people started finishing the game. it was immediately a cult hit among pretentious gamer types at the time

Shush, let a man be into the wrong era.

Crazy that we got two games named prey in back to back generations that have nothing to do with each other but they're both pretty great

Civvie did a pretty good video on it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ngbw...

I want it stated for the record that I actually rather liked it in it's own time.

I am bringing back Section 8 because that shit rocked and everyone calling it a Halo clone was just too unrefined to realise that it was in fact the Planetside 2 we didn't need yet. Also the worldbuilding was hilarious.

Can't wait for the WET and Too Human retrospectives

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug, etc etc

even the peer reviewed by fellow weirdos shooters bore me to tears [just not my genre] so every time i see one of those im genuinely impressed.

Remember your promise to Merino!

yeah i really liked bulletstorm

Marvels Avengers was peak of the whole gaming industry 🙌

Idt either of these games were "good" but they tried to do some cool shit and i respect them for it. Add stranglehold to that as well

Yeah, K&L2 is one of my favorites for that. It is so wonderfully and perfectly--and I don't think there's a better word for it--grody.

Played Kane & Lynch 2 cos of this video. Its so fucking good.

Syndicate 2012 and Bodycount are due their reappraisal any day now. Secret masterpieces under our noses

Manifesting this for Dark Void, a game is it currently impossible to pay anything above a fiver for.

It is finally Turok 2008's time to shine!

Give it long enough and people are going to be talk about how the Battleship movie tie in game is an overlooked classic

how do we get Sony to greenlight a remake of the Resistance series

Hop off potential peak

generations of gamers declare "it's okay"

HELL YEA

the multiplayer of that game was kinda gas

Did they gas up the weapon customization with kinnect?

Waiting on the essay about Frontlines: Fuel of War

If you think about it the game was really saying, "Are you and three other soldiers a bad enough dude to take on the entire country of Bolivia and win?"

the GRAW co op being 16 player was so awesome. just watching your guys dropping like flies

it also had the most bonkers melee attacks in the game. For no reason the scout just had a knife that let them do melee attacks fast enough that if you weren't careful they could wipe a squad. Meanwhile the assault would bash someone over the head with an LMG then backswing them with it.

I didn't think it was that hated or attacked. Sold kind of well and reviews were mostly praises of 8s and the occasional 9. But still good to see. Fracture also should get a look.

And they were correct; that game was a solid 6 but it had great bones, it just needed more polish. I think a sequel with modern controls would kick ass.

That game is a lot cool squad shooter mechanics packaged into the most boring shit ever. I played that thinking "Damn, we need s GiTS game that steals all the gameplay systems from this"

hey yknow what. that games alright

I would actually 100% dig a tell all tale of what the fuck happened to this game behind the scenes. Because I don't think we ever fully knew. But that's a little bit different than glazing the final product like so many do for extremely mid games.

It's giving Let's Remember Some Games

The Quiet Sadness of Gears of War 3

who’s gonna make the three hour video essay that MAG deserves

Theres a magic about being a kid thats just "enjoy what games you have" I remember playing so much of this random paintball game on the 360 because it was the only shooter my parents let me play at the time.

I can't do it. People hyping the time that made me almost lose interest in video games altogether being held up as the golden standard now. I just can't do it

"Bullet Witch, Neverdead, and Wet: the unlikely triad of shooters that bled cool and had brave new ideas almost good enough to unseat the likes of Army of Two and Mercenaries, were ahead of their time by..."

Like what do you mean Homefront was secretly a masterpiece???! Who are you people???

"Everyone" in this case having always been comprisedonly of the minority of self-appointed culture critics. The masses always liked those games. Thats why they sold well to begin with. Of course the old dismissals of those games werent gonna be their modern consensus they never were to begin with

Everyone who's anyone knows this game rules. I so desperately wish it had a PC port

mike patton killed it in that game miss it

I was batting around in my head that with the lack of rentals less people are playing mid but fine games so all this stuff is refreshing now

every time! The shooting is fun! You spend most of the game shooting! IDK why the game isn't fun given the previous two sentences? Do not say "story" IDK what that is.

It really is like that though lol Also bafflingly it has deathmatch, but its vehicles only. Hop online and play fake Id software twisted metal. Its also got MW2 spec ops co op mode for some reason.

As soon as I heard people talking about how Phantom Menace was actually really good I knew we were entering a tragic era for reappraising bad things Though what does it say that Deus Ex: Invisible War, a game I even liked at the time to be clear, is still considered bad

This is me with Clive Barker's Jericho tbh

I do think theres a lot of flawed but great games in that pile that feels even moreso when you're paying $5-20 instead of $50/60 at launch
