One of the best RTS games ever made. Prove me wrong.

That's fine and all but openRA is a big engine overhaul, too. Resolution scaling, etc. Give it a try.

>a big engine overhaul, too.
So it's not the actual game, it's someone's interpretation. And not just minor changes like unit A does more damage and unit B has more HPs. Like a total conversion mod.
>Resolution scaling, etc.
I don't care. I play in the original resolution and let my video card do the upscaling. Works great.
>Give it a try.
Nah.

So /VG/ What are some of your favourite retro games?

I've just played Shadow the Colossus and Ico for the first time.

Alundra is my favourite game of all time.

I pray they never make a hackneyed remake of it.

No lie, LOVE it. I try to tell people about it, and describe it. Inevitably, the only vaguely interesting response I sometimes get is, "OH SO IT'S LIKE TOUHOU?" Like, I'm happy they know to say Touhou, but I'm also just kind of disappointed everyone is such a fucking casual with how that's the only parallel they can draw.

It's nice coming back to the game every once in a while especially once you've had those really stressful times.

I look forward to do some old content for a change.

But what's the point when the fan remake improves on the original game? A custom UI, new unique dungeon layouts, and actual mod support.

I remember all the hype with the dev videos leading up to Oblivion. When physics and bloom were the hip new thing (all that SpeedTree foliage stuff was cool tbf).

But it lost the alien charm of Morrowind, especially when Cyrodiil was supposed to be a jungle. It's 90% woodland greenery. Very generic.

I played Skyrim embarrassingly late and fighting is fun, but... there are no classes? You move really fast AND THEN THERE'S A SPRINT BUTTON? All the RPG stuff is gone, every other item is magic. And most of the world is brown, icy mountains.

New Oblivion looks like it has that brown filter. The potato faces were genuinely part of the charm. Original game runs fine on modern PCs so it's not like some old game that genuinely needs tweaks to run at a higher resolution and such.

People seem to like it and there are positive changes to gameplay, melee not being affected by fatigue etc. But a lot of the 'quality of life' stuff moves away from what made the Elder Scrolls games fun in the first place. In Daggerfall you had to strategize travel. In Morrowind you had taxi services. By Oblivion, you could teleport. (But not levitate or anything, obviously that would 'break the game').

I haven't played this game in years, have no idea if it is still a thing, but I miss Seventh Haven. Good memories. SeVenezuela on eRepublik was fun as well.

I miss you all.

I think so.

Tell me, what prompted you to play them? Mainly their genre or the innovation they could offer their genres?

Ps. I ask this question because lately I wonder what is the component that makes an indie beautiful. Innovation in gameplay? The graphics? Or just the story?

Can it be a good game for just 1 of these components? Ex, it can be good a game whose graphics and gameplay are shitty, but is the story as good as an MGS?

It's how much they do with so little. They've managed to keep my interest way longer than AAA games without any of the graphics or skill trees or long convoluted storylines.

I've always been interested in the process of game development, I like all sorts of processes but videogames are special, they are a vessel for all other arts.
Corporate made videogames feel sterile, often engineered to handhold you instead of challenging yo, some are insultingly intrusive. Indie games are experimental, unsupervised, some at least.

Haven't read much since a short spurt in the 00s but I realize I don't really like sex scenes in general in VNs, unless the overall tone is raunchy or unserious to begin with. If I start reading them again, I might consider the censored option for the first time (if it exists), but it's hard to knowingly remove content from myself. Maybe I just have hangups.

I'll be gaming on Linux if all goes well, although I wonder if you can inject into Windows games for speedhacks.

you mean you want to inject speedhacks into windows games? cheat engine/gameconqueror allegedly works, don't know about trainer programs, maybe they would work if you open them in the same wine prefix as the game.

Exactly, hypothetically all we do is just "unlock" the framerate but since WINE is a compatibility layer that might not be as easy.
