i love the hostility of the way that dude says "Buddy" they should just bring back specifically that one character

Fracture can stay dead. Those enemies weren't luchadores at all.

The soldier of fortune reboot

This game would be so good if it was good

There's a bit like 3/5ths of the way through that lasts about 20 minutes that's good, unclear why they made the rest of it bad. The Survivor Missions is almost something so naturally that's console locked and DLC.

I remember Brad Pitt got the rights to make a movie out of it and it went nowhere.

somewhere out there is a world where Clive Barker's Undying and Clive Barker's Jericho kicked off Clive Barker's as an endless franchise, Clancy-style.

for some of us, gaming is a religion.

yeah it’s great

It's my fave, for sure. Helps that I am a die hard western fan and the story is 90% call puts to famous westerns by volume.

Gunslinger was insane. What genius madman greenlit a shooter with a score attack mode in *2013* and how do I give him control over the country

fuck me clive barker's jericho is a name i haven't heard in eons lmao

So true, RetroZacXP

Syndicate (2012) is my white whale of 360core garbage- interesting enough setpieces to remember them fondly, with the rest of it beige enough to slip free of memory so I can go "oh yeah that's the one where you hack guys into shooting themselves" and then not think about it again for 2 years

at least pariah came out, i guess, imagine spending two covers on a game that vanished

Bring back Blood on the Sand.

Bring back that one 3rd person shooter made by japanese devs that took place in a weird fantasy jrpg setting and was really hard.

Wasnt it a ps3 exclusive? Or am I misremembering?

CLIVE BARKER'S JERICHO MENTIONED!!!

Haze is equally as 360core as Dusk, the Eve Online tie in mmo shooter

I remember playing Quake 4’s intro at buddies house in school and thinking all the military units with the names and shit was the coolest thing in the world. It wouldn’t be until after high school until I played past the first hour and found out the rest of game is just Quake fucking 4

solid b tiers both. kind of mirrors of each other. wolfenstein is solid but uninspired, a middling showing from a genuinely legendary fps developer. bulletstorm has flashes of brilliance but is too Made In 2011 to capitalise on any of it so it feels disappointing despite being Okay

nobody is ready to reconcile with how many Call of Juarez games there are

lmao I forgot about that two great successes at the same time!

Crazy thing is Haze somehow is a PS3 exclusive but Homefront was multiplatform

Actually I don't think I'd even *heard* of Haze before this. Is this one of those cases where they called it something else in the US, like, "of course we have to call it bulletstorm, that's the kind of name that makes the kids threaten their parents when they don't let them play it"

The Jonathan Davis of it all makes it spiritually a 360core shooter even if it was never on the 360. Mountain Dew Game Fuel type beat

where else would I be able shake the SIXAXIS controller to remove throwing knives or extinguish flames

Me knowing this because I did play ps3 exclusive haze last year and had a very okay time with it

you can't kill halo when you live in a different town now can you

I did pick it up again a few years ago with the intention of seeing if any of those games feel better now because at least they tried something, but I don't have high hopes for that one

If either of them played anything other than Age of Mythology I'd think they did it on purpose (they were victims of the Red Dead Redemption is an old timey prostitute murder simulator moral panic and kind of just decided that that was every game with a gun in it).

what's that? THQ's version of gamespy?

unironically very forward thinking even if it wasnt very good

Homefront's multiplayer trying to be both COD and Battlefield was so goddamn weird....

someone had to

My condolences. I played the demo and I wondered who the hell at Tecmo/Koei greenlit that. I often still do.

Guess i found my reason to replay it.

it truly is so, so bad. i remember renting it. i couldn't finish it and i finished some dogshit

Haze killed Free Radical so I’ll always dislike it >:(

yea

i regularly watch a streamer with a haze shrine, tho i think his interest is particularly historical lol

...I got one I wanted to be better than it was. The Bureau: XCOM DECLASSIFIED

bring back wanted weapons of fate

it's cover really stood out, that's all I know about Haze

gaming is her religion and haze is her shit

Sometimes you just gotta talk about drinking piss for the piss filter

tabgientially related but i remember one time i mentioned army of two in passing in a post and some guy commented on it like "yooo i used to love playing The Devils Cartel back in the day!!!" like no man. thats the bad one

Haze is way too much of a punchline to get an honest reassessment. For the same reason Too Human will also never get one.

As a Barkerhead who beat Jericho as a teenager and then had gamestop refuse to let me trade it in bc the cost of buffing out the scratch would cost more than the value of the game, I constantly go "look it wasn't 'good' but there was something there." I will never play it again.

there is only one person I know that likes Haze and he has a shrine to it with a bunch of official merch

Even then, Resistance Fall of Man is like the weird food you have over a kid with a lot of allergies house. You have to chase it with 5 minutes of Bad Company 2s MP to feel anything. Reminds me of the many odd MP Shooters of that era (MAG, Starhawk, Dust 514, Hybrid, Brink, Frontlines Fuel of War)

Back on the Forums/IRC chat days we had this friend who's first big job was working on Haze. He was so excited and he hyped it up for a year. Then after he dramatically left the forum with an announcement post.

Man I wish Brink was good.

doing a versus xiii style campaign for overstrike

see my vision: bsky.app/profile/kals...

Yes! i played that only this year, and while i cannot say i would play it again, i loved how hard they tried at everything in that one. Never saw another game made me feel the movie thing of a entire squad shooting at a beast all together like that.

FREE RAVEN SOFTWARE

Do the PSP Syphon Filter games count? Those were really fun.

bring back Starbreeze's Syndicate

BRINK MENTIONED

turok is way higher up the powerscaling. that's up there with like timeshift and the darkness in terms of you're always gonna get a few people like no man you dont understand this game ruled
