Silent Hill

It is far more dead than MGS and has been so for a pretty long time. At least MGS might still get some new games with some redeeming quality. Silent Hill has been raped by the west more than it has ever been a good franchise. That is some deep feels right there.

Guess I might have to just emulate.

Parasite Eve. We only got 2 games.
Dino Crisis too. We only got 2.

>>377813458
it was boring, samey and grim as fuck
KZ3 was much more interesting and had more variety

Killzone got shelved for lesbian Archer feminist adventure dawn

>>377813747
If going by multiplayer than 3's maps are absolute garbage next to 2.

The grim atmosphere also makes sense for the series. So I see no issue with that. Although I thought 3 still kept a good visual for the most part.
>>377813857
Yeah what a shame.

>>377813427
Of course Mario will never die. That's why I'm judging the sub-series belonging to the Mario universe separately. Mario Party used to be about competition and ruining friendships as you run each other over on a dynamic playboard, but now everybody just rides in a fucking car together to the end of the level where they do some boss fight in the form of a minigame instead. It's a shadow of its former self.

And don't even get me fucking started on Paper Mario. The last thing that needed was a repeat of Sticker Star, but they did it anyway while the story and characters got to suffer because of it, which is a crime against RPG games.

I'm replaying Deus Ex, only played it once before
it's such a joy to play, it's almost depressing how much better than most games it is
I also have a soft spot for turn of the millennium era graphics on PC games
i just love when games give you a bunch of gadgets with a bunch of ways to complete the objective
I've never played any other Deus Ex game so I think now is as good a time as any to go through the rest including invisible war
I'm curious to see how bad it is for myself

>>377809063
Whenever someone asks me stuff like that, I go fully the other way and tell them I do it by divine favor, which not only pisses people off because I'm able to do something without practice, but also incredibly frustrates non-religious for insulating there's a higher power.

>Anon, where did you learn to program?
>Oh, I was just blessed with the ability to read code.

>Anon, you sure are good at computers!
>Yeah, I have an intuitive understanding of electronics and simply perceive how they work before I really lay my hands on them.

Things like that, just to remind the plebs of how worthless they are (And to maybe entice a few people to actually give a shit and try to learn something due to sheer anger.).

I actually played a Commodore in the early 90's even though it was before my time. I don't think they give too much of a fuck desu. Games were very different back then.

>>377815532
Well yeah and the idea of games back then wasn't like it is now. In the 90's people started to see games more as a thing to be cherished and hyped for. Mid to later 90's gaming became more than just gameplay but also stories, lore, characters and sequels. Much less about arcadey gameplay that you put down after 10 minutes.

A lot of those old games can be played easily through emulators and even on the browser these days.

For me the first game I seriously started to get into a lot as a kid was Pokemon Red. I can't really imagine myself getting into those old games in the same way. They don't really lend themselves to the same type of fun. Not that they are bad they are just too different.

I can totally go back to NES though, even if I'm picking up some game for the first time in my life. DOS is a bit harder, UIs are usually way too shitty without a layer of nostalgia. Thank god for updates like System Shock mouselook.

>>377816221
Ergo, they might as well be dead in the eyes of the fans. Also remind me of the last time we got an Advance Wars game, because I sure don't remember one getting released since the DS.
