Gamespy's shut down though so you need an unofficial patch. But you can still play it.

I'm talking about the time of my life when I was actually happy. I got to play it everyday and I wish I could relive those days. I don't think I'll ever be as happy in life as I was way back then.

my best video game experience was during endgame BC and WOLTK in world of warcraft.

However it was also the worst period of my life and I don't wish to return to that. I also no longer have time to as committed as I was to a video game like wow. I'm just glad I was part of that long strange trip that was World of Warcraft before it was garbage. I have my memories.

This fucking HL2 mod, I met long time bros on it and it was almost everything I ever wanted in a shooter.

You had bases, you had vehicles that you could customize, you had small skirmishes to large scale tank battles, you had coordination between your squad members and the commander who played in RTS mode, research tech trees, and there was a sense of camaraderie.

Sure, there were problems like occasional griefers and being a mod, it was glitchy at times. The community had also turned into full on autism during its decline up to its death. But no other game has ever got close to what it did for me and I kinda wish some big dev who isn't shit tried RTS/FPS hybrids on a large scale.

BF would have been great if the aiming had felt at all crisp.

Like you play that shit and its kind of fun but then go back to CS in like an hour because its so clunky

Counter Strike Source
I played on one server constantly, and everyone there kicked my ass all the time, but it was still a ton of fun because they were all having a good time. Making jokes constantly, dicking around from time to time, overall just a community I really liked.
I also think of CS 1.6 a couple of years ago when the gro/v/e was active, that was also a lot of fun even though I got my ass kicked constantly.

I tried to think of a game that defined the best time of my life, but I couldn't. A lot of games left lasting impressions, but none of them stood out, and I don't even know what the best time of my life is.
However, when reflecting on it, I realized that there is indeed one constant in my gaming history, something that follows me to this day, and started when I started gaming. It's the arcade racing/driving game genre, and its numerous subgenres. I don't know what it is that drives me to these games, but they've been with me from day one, and still are with me. Just a short list of the ones that I remember and really enjoyed for various reasons: OutRun (DOS), Skunny Kart, Wacky Wheels, BC Racers, Death Rally, Stunts, Slipstream 5000, the Screamer series, Whiplash, the Destruction Derby series, Hi-Octane, Battle Race, the old Need For Speed series, Killer Loop, RollCage, the wipEout series, Trackmania, the Test Drive Unlimited series and coming full circle with OutRun 2006. I know that some of these games are only arcade racing in the loosest sense, but it's the one thing that ties them all together.

Used to play LAN against my dad who would be downstairs and me upstairs in my room.

Our matches would last for hours. We would take breaks to eat dinner, always trying to pry info out of each other about our strategies and number of forces.

I remember calling him a pussy on the chat and getting explained to what a pussy actually is. I only knew it to be slang for being scared, but I learned that day it also meant vagina.

He would almost always win, due to me being young and reckless, while he was way more strategic and patient. I learned a lot about how I should think and act from playing those games.

Good times, I'd do anything to relive those days.

They have a lot more to them than just "kill x, grab x, go here" shit everything else has.

You actually get to do something in RuneScape quests.

They have writing and stories that are interesting, and have continuity between questlines.

>>273106478
You don't do them constantly to level up constantly. They require different skills, some are puzzles.
Even if you just look at the quantity compared to other WoW-like titles, the very fact there are fewer gives them greater meaning. Not every single person and their mother has a quest to hand out that will give you a new piece of gear and a ton of exp.

This or Desert Combat.
Never felt that amount of freedom even with other Battlefield games again.

Still, I find myself having a fantastic time with games even now. Mostly Nintendo games like the two obvious Wii U games, there's plenty of online communities that are fun to play with.
I'd trade it all for DICE getting their shit together or TF2 rolling back to 2007 gameplay...

>>273108376
Funny how that worked out. My parents divorced and my dad was quite abusive at the time. He would then try to buy me things afterwards so "I didn't hate him". The first thing that he got me after the divorce was an xbox and halo because my uncle said it was awesome.

Because the time was split 50-50 between his place and my moms, I pretty much only did two things over there: lift weights, and play Halo.

I loved that game so much.

>>273106478
quests werent really used for leveling (though they did give some decent xp)

generally quests were like mini adventures with puzzles, dungeons, bosses and remote dangerous locations and no 2 were similar

completing a quest would usually grant you access to a new area/weapon/ability/spell or something that actually progressed your character

also the fear of losing your shit when you die made them exciting

>Halo 2 and 3

mostly because I had always had a hard time making real friends, and halo gave me something to connect with people in my school. I ended up meeting some my best friends in Halo 2 matchmaking, and we all live within 20 minutes of each other right now.

When I moved away for a couple years during the last half of high school, Halo 2 and later 3 kept me in touch with all my friends until I moved back.

it was also just a fun as fuck game.People had no qualms about shit talking and getting pissed at each other and your opponents. Zombies on foundation with the honor system was top-tier fun. It was great because you'd always have people for weird-ass custom matches since people would just spam invites to anyone and everyone. Not having stuff like party chat on the 360 made sure that everyone talked in game, and that just led to even more interactions.

You are in the majority with that opinion, but I felt the maps in 2142 were all over the place.

Cebere Landing and Fall of Berlin were pretty good, but the others were wonky and inevitably you'd still be inclined to get into the Titan which was always the same design every time.
So I just never played Titan maps after awhile.

I felt like a lot more love was put into the design of maps like Dragon Valley, Kubra Dam, Sharqui Peninsula and motherfucking Daqing Oilfields.
But 2142 was still great, I can't deny that.

If you ever played BF2 Special Forces, there's a map called The Iron Gator. One team infiltrates a huge aircraft carrier and takes it over from the inside, other team has to stop them.

BF4's Titan mode is that but with a thing that you can blow up to win the game.

>>273111905
Kinda, it was called Carrier assault in BF4 as one of the DLCs. It worked the same way for the initial parts where you capped points and missiles were shot at the enemy carriers to a certain health and then you would be able to attack the carrier directly.

The problems I had with it were the game just turning into a glorified rush mode when you're inside the carrier and that the carrier itself didn't have much to defend against attacking vehicles like the titan did with its exterior guns.

Everything is too casual, too slow, to play.
I don't think a competitive multiplayer game will fill its shoes for a long time.

This fucking game, it was a blodshed

I still keep the save game files from the year 2001

For almost ten years I'm waiting the day to replay all the campaign again, hitting enemy positions with artillery and moving my pooe vulnerable infantry in...

A bunch, really. I actually enjoyed video games for a very long ass time.

>Age of Empires 1, I never got too deep into 2
>Worms Armageddon and Heroes III
>Warcraft III and custom maps
>Counter Strike and Battlefield
>World of Warcraft

And I played a ton of singleplayer games, but I dont go replaying them all that much.
I see people who have hundreds or even thousands of hours in a singleplayer only game, I dont see how that happened unless you forget it on while you go on vacation.

>>273098219
I probably spent a sold 2 years of my life during High school where every free moment I had was spent playing Diablo 2

Dark Souls 1 at launch (before all the cheating and shit).

Summoning someone and seeing they have some awesome weapon you haven't even SEEN yet. Invading people and having fair fights. Being the guy that everyone asks for help/information.

Now everyone knows everything and backseats in twitch streams and even try to correct me when I knew the game back to front before they had even played it.

I'd give anything to see a private server for that game, but everyone cares about the newer games more. I can't get the same feels from the newer games. Doesn't mean I don't adore them, but nothing beats the old tavern music.

I miss Demon's Souls before the Dark Souls bandwagon hit.

DeS threads used to be GOAT, so much good content and trying to figure out the game with other people was part of the fun for me. Same can be said for Dark Souls when that first came out, but then the bandwagon hit and now the Souls fanbase is pure cancer.

Introduced me to video games.

Maybe I should hate it because video games practically killed my early social life, especially after MMOs blew up. But I don't. I played too many games with all kinds of different feelings since then to hate it.

>>273117387
I always felt like whereas dark souls's lore felt hidden, but available in the game. demon's souls's lore was mostly just absent. i would love to find out more about the setting of that world though, know any nice places for good canon information or at least fun speculatory shit? demons left me with so many unanswered questions like why does the adjudicator have a bird on his head, why was the dragon god in the intro sequence and so on.

Actually no. Lore was never a big deal for me in the Souls games and I felt that lorefags were pulling a lot of shit out of their asses.

>>273105552
Fucking RuneScape. I loved this game, back when my perception of MMOs was of mystery and adventure. RuneScape, WoW, and MapleStory (yes, fuck you) were such a large part of my middle school and high school life.

Nowadays I can't see MMOs as anything but min-max number crunchers driven by a constant struggle to be as efficient and progressed as possible. The magic is completely gone for me and I don't think I'll ever get it back. It's a fucking shame.

>>273120412
Well, yeah. But i'm talking more the rehashed nature of the actual sounds. Bowser has the exact same sound effects in every game from Galaxy onwards, most of the time just copied directly into the game folder from the prior games.

Metal Gear Online 2 was the best of the best for me.

I used to just work 2 shifts a week and lounge about at my parents house and play this all day and all night. I'd stay up till 3 in the morning with other desperately obseessed Aussies and Kiwis just to play Survival for the next 4 hours.

I used to train people from noobs and pitch them against other friend's noobs.

I wasn't the best at 1v1 me cunt situations but I was known for being a sneaky cunt with strategies.

I'd give my left nut literally if it meant a re-release of MGO2.

This will always be mine, I remember I played this in around the 2nd or 3rd grade, and I easily sank 600 hours into it. I'd take my Game boy Advanced every where with me, and always be playing it. I remember exploring the world, and being blown away. I can just remember the flowers and the bright colours,or going furniture shopping with my parents while entering my Pokemon into contests. It's a good time to think about, I was tiny, so I didn't really worry about anything in the world everything was simple.
I bought Omega Ruby a few days ago, and playing through it has been amazing, it's a bittersweet nostalgia. I'm not complaining about my life now. But it makes me miss when things where so much simpler.
This and Fable will always be amazing to be because of that

for me it was halo 2

halo 3 was the time where I was beginning to have all of that adult shit hit me in the face and I didn't get to spend as much time on it as I'd like- to put it into perspective I had about half the amount of overall kills in 3 compared to 2 and never bought any of the maps for 3

IMO Halo 2 was the pinnacle of the series in terms of multiplayer and Halo 3 was everything I wanted from 2, just a few years too late. I really envied all the little shits who started their online careers with 3, wireless controllers, solid online experience and very little glitching/hacking. At the same time the kids who jumped on the Halo bandwagon ruined the online experience, I remember only playing customs and avoiding matchmaking like the plague after maybe 6 months online. Gone were the days of saying "good game" and trash-talking without using "your mom" or "nigger".

Fuck are you me? I wasn't diagnosed and put on meds until high school, but otherwise, that sounds just like me. WW is even one of my favorite games of all time, but I'd also switch it out for MK:DD or SSBM.

Back when was when my brothers used to play vidya with me too. Now I'm the only one who ever plays the shit that I play, it's depressing.

Ro2, 1 is still good but 2 has majority or players. The feel of the game is one unlike others.

Waking up at night and playing vidya during twilight and dawn is amazing.

If and when I'm ever single again I'm looking forward to doing it again.

Playing zombie mod in CSS back when ZML was popular, those were some great times.

Then when zombie escape maps were being made and ffvii_mako_reactor was first released. Some servers even dedicated themselves to being 24/7 mako reactor. RIP Steamgamers.

I miss when i could just sit down with a console like the N64 and pop in a game i've had for years and have a great time

Maybe it's just the depression but now i can't enjoy video games unless i just buy a shiny new cool one, and that's only for a couple days until my interest fades

The fucking HAM quests were so good, man I'm gonna miss Runescape.

Counter Strike: Source

Probably the best time of my life, because I managed to keep a healthy balance of playing games obviously, but also have a social life and do somewhat well at school. Met some great people through that game, even added some on Facebook, but I don't really talk to them anymore.

After CS, life kinda went to shit, lost alot of friends for reasons still unknown, they just dropped me. Only thing that kept me happy was the things I enjoyed, and I keep telling meself it was for the better.

Luckily I met one great guy towards the end, managed to pick myself up and get good grades overall, and now at college doin' what I want, I guess.

I'm gonna get shit for this, but I played an unfathomable amount of Halo 3 in high school and used it as escapism from my shitty life at the time.
343 has killed the franchise snd filled me with rage. I want Bungie Halo back.

One of the biggest questions of my life is did video games get shittier or did i just get older?

That's actually how I learned how to read. When it came to school and books I gave no shits about them, but my grandma would actually help me read the dialog myself most of the time.

And you don't have to tell me to /v/, I hug her and tell her I love her every time I see her.

Fucking this
Parents wouldn't buy me many games but when they bought me a PS2 I happened to pick this game up.
I now have probably close to 300 hours on this game alone as it was the only PS2 game I had for nearly a year
