Why would you want to?

Now you can play any vidya, old or new.

>>39647084
cod4 and BLops1 were pretty good

the killstreak shit ruined mw2. waw was the last good one. the chopper gunner was a fucking joke

>>39647067
You know, it's not like those games stopped existing when new ones came out.

2005-2010 wasn't even that good. It was right around the time of the Wii beginning, and that was all waggleshit, and then in 2008 the dark age began, all while mobile games started coming in. You want a golden age, pick 1995-2005.

>>39647828
i think i enjoyed this game a little too much, also probably tripled my hours with the adventure's dlc

My parents never let me play any of these games. I was allowed to play games like super mario and some other nintendo games but that's it. My computer at the time was bad so I also couldn't play any computer games except roblox. It sucked going to school every day and hearing everyone talk about the new shooter game that was going to come out and knowing that you would never play it.

That was just the xbox 360. The PS2 was still getting games. The Gamecube had Mario Sunshine and F Zero GX. You could literally spend all day playing different games, many of them online.
And you havent even gotten on your PC yet.

Now I almost exclusively play PC games. The Wii U was the last good console. The Switch is a meme. The PS4 and Xbone are basically crap prebuilt PCs and the really good games come out on PC anyway.

Sad, truly sad, Rockstar was a master at period-oriented, atmosphere-oriented games. GTA IV and GTA V seem so fucking bland and empty compared to SA and Vice City.
Now that they discovered how many shekels they can get from normie online micro-transactions, Rockstarstein will never do a good singleplayer period game again

>>39647084
MW2 was fun but absolutely shit compared to COD4. COD4 was fucking great.

>>39651510
I feel like this is gonna be the future for all games, micro transactions and stuff. Rockstar can still do a great game, just the jew inside of them takes over.

I think they said somewhere that the HD generation of GTA games were supposed to be a lot more realistic compared to the almost cartoon looking III, VC and SA, but those three games had way more variety in content.

Fuck this. It'll take a miracle to have a good game without character and without all the normiem ultiplayer microtransactions. Just look at Online and (outside of the GTA world) CS GO. There's just too much cash to be had. I don't even know why this happens, by all accounts GTA has always been a normie game, every wannabe gangster at school played it, yet it happens now.
I'm usually keen on realism but the cartoonish nature of the GTA games never really struck me. How beautiful that was, seeing the pink shades of the sunset over Vice City

>>39651738
CS GO is good entertainment. Never have and never will buy a skin for my guns unless selling all those sprays at 0.02$ ever makes me something worth it. I'd play CS Source again (used to play it way back then on another PC) but then again what will there be left of it?

>>every wannabe gangster at school played it, yet it happens now.
God don't. Reminds me of the times I went on IV's multiplayer and was greeted by the sounds of pre-pubescent kids telling me how they were gonna pop a cap in my arse before apologising to mummy for swearing. I think online would be alright if it punished people a bit more for wrecking others shit, or added an option so you can grind in peace without fear of your stuff being compromised. The grind I don't mind, but so long as I can do it in peace with minimal fear of it being fucked up.

>>39652016
No, I meant even GTA SA or 3D games, it was pretty mainstream
To be honest I don't even want the next GTA game to even have a multiplayer
I just want a good period game with stories and easter eggs like Rockstar used to

I don't know why, but V's story just seemed empty. A series of heists and that's it, little else to do, it just felt soulless
