What does leftypol play

Yea

Both. Mostly old school nowadays. I've maxed 2 accounts, and I guess I'm going for it on osrs eventually.

Nintendo games like Mario, Zelda, Metroid and PC RPGs and FPS's. Some indie games. Pretty much everything else is boring and shitty.

Basically just MMO's, pokemon, and phone games at this point.

I'm a wagecuck who has to maintain a job and support a family which unfortunately work cuts into all the gaming time I used to have when I was in college.

Occasionally might play some of the standard "hardcore" gaming fare like MGS, Dark Souls and Zelda.

Yeah old school Doom mods are interesting, went into some after playing Doom 4.

Fair enough, I'll have to try it again

I don't play online games, but probably should try some again. I do like Pokemon and Zelda and MGS though, but I've played every single one of them over and over, I think I game too much…

Nintendo took down too many fan projects like AM2R for me to like them.

Last time i picked up a game it was the early 2000s

Oh also 2016 DOOM which was basically the only non-Nintendo "hardcore" game I played this year aside from Dark Souls 3.

Cities: Skylines, Diablo franchise, Warcraft franchise, Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, Battlefield 4, Final Fantasy 4 and 6, Chrono Trigger, Fallout 3 and NV, Skyrim, Ocarina of Time, Super Mario Bros. 3.

The older games are games I return to every few years.

Yeah but their behavior doesn't change my enjoyment of their products because all major (and most minor) developers act like dicks, because well, capitalism.

At least AM2R was finished, I really enjoyed it, surprising since I hate Metroid 2 a lot.

Nice list. I prefer FFVII though

Mostly RTS and RTT games.

RA2, Generals, Sudden Strike, Blitzkrieg, Morrowind and Space engineers ATM

...

The only hardcore games, outside a few examples I play are Nintendo ones, which for the past decade are very rare

Certain MMO's are good time-killers. I used to be in the crowd that hated them when I was younger because of how repetitive they were, but they're basically the only kind of games I can play that let me talk to people casually online while I play them. I can't do that with FPS's as easily since I'm not good with multitasking.

Specifically? Uh GW2 is okay, but it's F2P which is arguably a capitalism model at its worst. FFXIV is the other one I play and it's actually pretty good in terms of both story and userbase, but it uses the subscriber model.

Unfortunately with MMO's, it's really a matter of picking your poison.

To my shame I've never tried FFVII… :\

Only play Civ 6 ATM

didnt mean to sage

The most interesting parts of FFVII were the beginning with Midgar an Shinra and the ending fight with Sephiroth. Everything in-between is kinda eh to me.

That being said, it's worth checking out. You might find you like the materia system better than I did.

Really? Until recently it was the only one I ever passed :P

Are those the only ones you play? Im probably the only person on Earth who's never tried WoW

I resubbed to FFXIV, new patch is OK, mainly doing PvP now that queues don't take years and there is a event going on.
Otherwise I mainly spent the last year playing on my hacked 3DS, Monster Hunter and Hyrule Warriors are addictive as fuck.

I played some SW: Old Republic and STO as well, but didn't get into them as much.

I haven't tried WoW yet since it also uses a subscriber and having a subscriptioin to both that and FFXIV would be too expensive for me. I have friends who play WoW and they seem to like it enough though.

I like video games for immersive experiences, its why I've never found much joy in MMOs

Kerbal Space Program

Looks creepy

All the DKS games, Overwatch, BF1 (so i can enjoy German aesthetics pre-Hitler), replaying Mass Effect series, The Witcher 3, Fallout is always fun and then i guess you could throw in older games like Half Life 2 and Skyrim into that mix. I don't really like most games post 2010 so sorry i can't be of more help

Speaking of vidya games, what's Holla Forums's opinions on the paid modding shitfest pulled by Bethesda and Valve a couple of years back ?

I play WoW on a private server (so no sub fees, and faster leveling which i like) and some GW2
Honestly GW2 F2p model isn't that bad (comparing to something like league of legends which is absolute cancer), and frankly I find a recurring sub fee to be far more abhorrent than a game you can just buy outright for a normal price

Mass Effect 1 and 2 were good, 3 was cancer

Yeah I hate fees for video games. If I have to buy them, I just want to pay once and thats it

Fucking perfect taste, comrade.

IF I WERE A GAY NERD NANANANANNANANA MY MOMMY WOULD HATE ME ALL THE WERLD I WERE GAY NERRRRRRDDDDDD

top zizek he buyrs meny kwalty cokaners from mi budy mak mexiko grat agan

Whats hilarious is that Varoufakis, the neo-liberal madman, created the model for the mass privatization of community created content deployed by steam first through TF2 and DotA2 and then the shit with Bethesda; Gaben is fully porkified, he came out basically with a geckoesque "Greed is Good" in response to the backlash before having to backflip.

Anyway expect capitalism to seep into every single facet of everything in the world, the commercialization of games is only going to intensify from here on out.

wot es thes thred even about

It's a vision of the future. Everything which can be a commodity, will be a commodity.

wah why wont people who start business pander to my idealogies waaaaaahhhh

wahhhh why do people attach value to sentimental goods waaaaahhhhhh

leftypol memia will never be good

I always read that either Varoufakis is an awesome Marxist or a total sell out. I wonder which one is true

...

Oh damn, I thought even with private servers you had to pay fees. Good to know. Might try one out.

what a surprise

He claims to be an "erratic Marxist" and wants socialism. How true that is, who knows

I got a family to feed. In this economy, I can't take on too many monthly subscriptions.

I know.

Its not true.

I read that it is true and it's not true. I just wonder which one is actually true.

Starting a family in this economy is insane

i'm on warmane if you'd like, pretty decent server

reddit.com/r/ElderScrolls/comments/1wsh96/til_zurin_arctus_is_quoted_by_slavoj_zizek_in_in/

Metroid 2 is ok. The only "bad" Metroid game I can remember was Other M

What a pleb.

t. poor weak fag who is afraid of real work

eve online, hearts of iron 4, elite dangerous and elder scrolls online are what I've been playing recently

It's going to be great in two years, paracucks released a broken, bland game so they can sell it five times over by the time it is as it should have been.

Do not buy anything from them ever.

OP you should check out the English fan-translated Japan exclusive games @ romhacking.net. There's some top tier JRPGs there nigger, especially from Square Enix pre-merger.

Yeah, really enjoyed Final Fantasy 3.

Dominions 4

This tbh. It's basically click to invade country, the game. Absolutely no challenge whatsoever. Until the late game when you have to battle against performance issues

This is proof that Holla Forums has patrician taste. As much as Holla Forums like to complain about the vidya industry, they still prefer Skyrim because 'Ulfric is redpilled'

Old School RS

How they can still shill for Ulfric after knowing he'd worked for the Thalmor is beyond me. Those gold-skinned elven nazis will turn all human races into their slaves if they get their own way.

...

REALISM INVICTUS

I said it last thread, fuck you, I'm saying it again.

They'll probably destroy the very idea of humanity on a mythic level and then end the existence of the mortal plane to go back to being spiritual beings free of time and space.

Video games are for children and huge waste of time. You should better yourself for the upcoming class war.

...

Occasional diversion is as important as regular self improvement user.

...

But posting on Holla Forums isn't a waste of time, right?

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead

I've started a new playthrough of kotor 2, no lightsabers just blasters and force. I'm not a jedi.

stormfags' knowledge of the game is only superficial

...

League of Legends and various games on a (stolen) PS4.

I've kind of lost my motivation for games these days.

Still on a PS3. I like MGS and Mass Effect, also have a few games for the 3DS. But I haven't properly kept up with gaming in years. Haven't played any new Pokemon games since Diamond/Pearl/Platinum.

I sometimes think about getting a PC for gaming, there's a lot of games like Red Orchestra 2 and Insurgency that I like the look of. I remember making plans for it back in 2011, just never got around to it.

fuck that makes me nostalgic

played Runescape tons in 2007-2008. is it still going?

Been playing fnv the past few months, extremely good game

Well, be more specific

Kotor 2 is criminally underrated, esp the Restoration version

What's fnv?

Just curious, why would "poor" be an insult on leftypol?

Fallout New Vegas

It's a rightfag's insult, not leftypol.

Oh well yeah that's one of my favorite games, played it a few times over

CKII

Had a lot of potential but the AI is trash.

Anybody else here into tabletop rpg's and wargames, ccg's, board games and/or other /tg/ stuff?

I am

Used to play lots of MTG, modern format mostly (Naya Burn). Stopped playing because depression made it difficult and not fun anymore.

Have you played it with the Roleplaying expansions?

I wish there were a Mod and a community that'd play the NVA of the GDR instead and i could shoot up some imperialist agent swines on the border. Welp…

Crusader Kings 2

I was into Victoria 2 for a long time, but now I'm bored with it now. I really hope Paradox makes a Vicky 3, but I'm not optimistic

Right now I'm playing Endless Space 2.

A cult classic

Somebody sell me on dominions 4. I need a reason to buy this game.

Video games are vapid trash. Stop roleplaying your power fantasies and revolutions in strategy games and read a book instead.

You are right. The alienation is too strong though. I want to have fun after working my ass off at Mcdonalds. Though that plays right into the hands of the bourgeoisie I'm sure, it is something that I try to limit. It's a hobby at most though I can't speak for everyone else.

And is there a reason why we cannot do both ? Do you want us to die because of stress ?

Well, to be fair vidya does not contribute to our goals. He's just dissappointed with our explicit indulgence in the spectacle.

why is ARMA so popular?

That one is good, but I have an inexplicable attachment to the first one.

DotA 2 is the people's game!

сука Блять

The falling rate of profit on investment has turned modern video games almost entirely into hopeless shit, so these days I have mostly retreated into the past. I especially love arcade genres. There's nothing else like pushing yourself to the limits in a brief but intense test of skill as you try to single-credit clear something or improve your score.

Heh,Metal Slug was simply the shit back in the arcade days.

Ernst Thalman will lead the german people to Socialist Nation State, and then workingmen of all europe to throw down the imperialist Continental System

OP here. I prefer the Metroid Prime trilogy. I also like games made in the last 10 years more than games made in the 80s or 90s

There's nothing worth reading anymore

The only Mother game I actually like

Loved it back in the day, but I find that the modern versions, after the original dev left, lack a lot of cohesion and anti-tedium features that the original had. Most new features seem to be just added tedium.

In that case, I'd recommend you to check Vampire : The Masquerade, user. And Deus Ex, if you didn't already.

Oops, meant to say Vampire : The Masquerade Bloodlines.

Hotline Miami 1 & 2 are really fun. Good gameplay, story, difficulty and soundtrack. Second one is a bit too buggy tho.

The 3D Mario games are pretty good

You poor, tasteless faggot.

OP here, I'll check them out.

Nah, it's just games are more immersive and better designed now. Games were more mindless and childish back then

My nigger.

I've been playing Starbound Lately because muh 100% guaranteed space gommunisim

Quite disappointed to hear gomrades have such atrocious taste in RPGs.

At least tell yours.

Here are a few good ones.

Not much to debate, the 7 is the most abundant.

Yea oldschool is still very very active. Its got a dedicated mod team making new oldschool style content and the playerbase is bigger than rs3.

Metroid : Other M, while not necessarily a bad game, probadly had one of the worst character development ever. It turned a badass female space bounty hunter into a literal damsel in distress.

It's trash, try again. The hilariously awful story might be forgiven if the gameplay had anything to offer.

Even if Valve no longer cares about it

fucking nice

I thought Wilhelm Pieck became leader though?

I actually prefer programming over both. Reading is good. but programming games is what I'd like to spend the rest of my life doing. I like to write too. Don't know why people like to rate different activities on a spectrum. If you have a particular goal there is an obviously superior medium to focus on, but if you're just enjoying free time it really doesn't matter.

FTFY

How's Civ V in comparison to Civ IV?

Gravity Rush 2

A good question, I've never played Civ V.

Civ vi is a good improvement on the core v mechanics. The corps and armies help fight the carpet of doom, and the districts balance the game. Local happiness is a big improvement. Once the expansions are out, it will be a great game.

check out deadbolt too
it has all that Miami has plus good plot

who else here waiting for Pathologic 2.0?

in Apres Moi, Le Deluge it's Thalman.

Time to start a foolish war with the rest of europe because the central powers are blocking me from defending the rest of the Internationale from the Russian bear.

MARIO IS NAZBOL

I play Minecraft, particularly these modded servers that call themselves "civ" servers based on this one server called Civcraft. There's one server right now called Devoted that has the most active community and another server coming out soon called Civclassic.

So what do you expect people to do all day after the revolution?

Same things they do now they would just have more time to do it.

But apparently video games are vapid trash we should not engage with, so what am I expected to do after the Party wisely bans this fun?

You can engage in them after the revolution. Before the revolution, you should be working towards the revolution.

...

Finished La-Mulana recently.
Great game, but hard as balls sometimes.
I kinda feel bad for using a guide more that I should, but then some puzzles are straight up bullshit.

molleindustria.org/to-build-a-better-mousetrap/ is pretty good. It also has multiple endings. Their games in general are good, particularly the drone one and mcdonald's.

im playing dark souls 3 and hatsune miku future sound on ps4. looking forward to yakuza 0, gravity rush 2 (already released but wont be delivered until tuesday), nioh, and re7.

Shame they fucked up the controls on the remake.

And if you niggas get Doombuilder, you can add even more to that monster

Not him, but get Shin Megami Tensei, but most importantly, get Kyuuyaku Megami Tensei

When will the Altmer admit the Dunmer are best Mer?

B-b-but user ! The Dunmers are heretics because they worshipped the Tribunals and the Daedra instead of Aedra.

is that a mod?

never played any HoI games but that looks cool

Happy to see so many grand strategy players here.

Victoria 2 is the best Paradox game. Even if communism = stalinism in there

Isn't Victoria 2 basically "Communism did nothing wrong" because almost all players will inevitably industrialise better than capitalists do?

Well the AI can be pretty decent.

But it is rather state capitalism not communism and it is historically accurate, considering in that period the state was pretty heavily involved in jumpstarting the economy.

a detail which many laissez faire enthusiasts usually ignore.

OP here, the Tales games are some of my favorite JRPGs

OP here, you have good tastes

Has anyone here played Wolfenstein : The New Order ? It's not as particularly good as Return to Castle Wolfenstein but it's still worth taking a look since the gameplay looks pretty solid.

No, really, why do they sniff so much?

OP here, I've only played Wolfenstein 3D, never any of the new ones made in the last 15 years. Should try them out

Probadly because of the shitty weather. There are lots of ash storms on Vvardenfell.

...

You can make your Dominion Death 3, Cold 3, Turmoil 3, and crush the world under your Stirnerite skellington genocide cult.

Or do basically anything else, the game has pretty much any possible fantasy trope (dying empires turning to dark magic to sustain themselves, anti-magic zealots discovering using high renaissance tech, conquistadors sailing in search of gold and heresy, tribal blood cults, literally Cthulhu, twee, orgy loving hippies, and the same hippies after they turned cartoonishly evil, etc) as an option. The late game is pretty tedious because the AI has no idea what it is doing and you end up rolling around crushing out one pocket of resistance after another and having to micromanage dozens of armies, but that's true of pretty much every grand strategy or 4x game.

Dat moon sugar

Planetside 2, still alive.

Smooth

This is why you should only play single player for practice and testing.
You're doing yourself a massive disfavour if you don't play Dom4 multi-player.
