Well people have been waiting for Half-Life 3 for over a decade, so....patience.

=[ All the good games get forgotten or milked until they're shitty. (halo: milked, MGS series: milked, Conker series: Forgotten[live and reloaded had some amazing multiplayer.. seriously.. way ahead of its time even had a progression system for veterans with X character.. I played the sniper/assassin mostly]Star Wars:battlefront 1/2[way ahead of its time and even had progression system/unlocks for those of us who mastered getting headshots/repairing vehicles/using sniper etc]) so many games I miss that are either dead or out of their prime.

Seriously have you SEEN destiny? What a joke... New bungie is saddening.

VentiraOct 22, 20141 votes

Indeed. I personally don't blame Bungie, I blame Activision for Destiny's ridiculous mediocrity.

And Star Wars Battlefront was friggin great, can't disagree there.

There's a reason I stick largely to Nintendo. They always have a way to use the same game style, but put new twists on it. See: Super Mario Galaxy and everything not Other M Metroid. Also XenoBlade.

People can say Nintendo sucks and is for kids, but they're reliable.

metriod fusion Metriod prime 1/prime2 Echoes(dark/light world) good games, beat both. never played prime 3

Smash bros on the nintendo 64/gamecube were good, rest are shit. Heard they split zelda from shiek..like wtf? they're one person..idiots..

VentiraOct 22, 20141 votes

They actually split all transforming characters into their own character, probably to expand more on Shiek/Zelda and Zero Suit Samus/Samus.

Oh man, you need to play Prime 3, it was the best of the Primes.

And all Smash bros are good, excusing the tripping in Brawl, although a more competitive player will say otherwise. "Muh wave dashing" and all that.

Zelda was my favorite character. lol When I heard they split her from her disguised self I was just like "welp not buying smash anymore"

VentiraOct 22, 20141 votes

That seems like a poor reason to drop a franchise, especially one as beloved as Smash.

It's like saying "Oh, I no longer turn into Zero Suit Samus when I use Samus' Final Smash. Better not play Smash anymore even though it's still a really, really, good franchise." It's not like they outright removed Zelda/Shiek...

Or in a non-nintendo fashion "How dare the developers change something, I'm gonna boycott them because of a very minor change!!!1!!!1!"

Anyone here old enough to remember "MultiPlayer BattleTech" or MPBT on the original AOL gaming service (Back when you paid 20 bucks for 20 hours of internet access and I always went over)? GOD I MISS THAT GAME. I would play it now. If it was in its original form. That and "Neverwinter Nights" ....... So basic... so classic.... so discontinued :(

TenSlashTenOct 22, 20141 votes

I alpha/beta tested a game called neverwinter Actually wasn't bad then when game went to open beta they GUTTED the assassin. Saying the class was op and blah blah blah. But it was actually the mage that was OP(people just sucked at it because idk.. guess it just wasn't popular.. I usually play stealth assassins/bow users in an mmorpg/rpg/dungeon crawler)

The soundtrack wasn't too bad either in some areas.

DeathToEcchiOct 22, 20141 votes

It's based on a game that has more of a cult following than general popularity, and MechAssault was considered shite by the majority of that following.

TenSlashTenOct 22, 20141 votes

yeah ik but I didnt like the slow paced version in first person. Most first person games were shit and too slow paced for my taste. There were few that did it right or at least offered third person/perspective view.

Halo had some good first person with a clean crisp UI (halo 1/2.. halo 3 was alright..but meh not sure I liked sprinting)

Wow... what a bad MechWarrior game. Go play MW:O

None of this getting out of your mech and 'hacking' crap, or stealing other mechs, or picking up powerups (LOL)

boring clunky UI games like that make it hard for me to enjoy. I dont even have to open that video. Just look at that UI dude its like 40% pointless shit I don't need. Thats exactly what I DON'T LIKE about any game is a shitty UI.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Up2WfqGtkMU This is a clean and crisp UI you can even remove all that shit and play on an empty UI if you wanted to because if you're like me you have all those assassin skills memorized and combos memorized where you don't need a UI outside of maybe health/combo points being displayed.

You're comparing a MMORPG 3D Fighting game UI to a Mech simulating shooter arena game UI (which isn't in any way cluttered - all that information is relevant). But hey, you like a game that isn't even in any way close to being an accurate representation of MechWarrior and don't have the attention span to watch a video.

Protip : Fighting games, even 3d ones, Do not require big UI's.

A different game, with different mechanics, requires a different UI, a Properly designed UI in many games is ****ing amazing and can do crazy things to your ability to not only play but be incredibly successful when you play.

Sorry, I'm a twitch gamer, grandpa.

I've heard all about MWO. Its boring. But the thread isn't about MWO so how about you take your game somewhere else :P

I already have though I haven't played since gamecube version. I told you that before. I don't like milked franchises @.@ they always just removed/add wierd mechanics I don't like. Point made by the zelda split w/e thing. Thats just one of the wierd changes I saw happen WAY before it was even announced/known.
