So dearly do I want the days of Quake III back, I want to experience UT 2004 again, when only nerds and incessant faggots occupied the servers. I loved those days with all of my heart. Fuck, what I'd do to go back to when furries weren't on every goddamn server and the sjw scum didn't exist. It's been almost 20 years that I've been on PC. Hell, I've seen the ups and downs, but lately it's just gone fucking downhill. Steam is the main culprit, but Uplay and Origin aren't much better. Granted, ALL digital distribution is shit, but these three are especially shit.
Steam Greenlight gave birth to such shit like Hunnie Pop and fucking Gone Homo, which comes as no surprise. I saw this coming whenever Steam first reared its ugly head; and I told all you faggots back in '09 that Steam would one day destroy the community from within, but not one of you listened. No, you kept on giving your "lord and savior" Gabe all your money because god forbid that you get off your lazy asses and buy physical copies. Now, paid mods are likely to come back too, which will soon kill off the modding community as a whole. EA and Ubisoft have already done it and no one seems to be complaining. Why FUCKING start now?
The communities are full of furries and ever since TF2 was infiltrated by bronies who couldn't help but fuck the game over with their mods, I haven't looked back. The original joy of playing TF2 is long gone, the game is a corpse of its former self. Same goes with any popular shooter - more and more are catering towards a "diverse" audience, such as Overwatch (it's shit) and Destiny 2 (it's all sorts of shit, and I'm glad I avoided it). All PC communities are dead, some are on life support - but most of them are just no longer fun. It's just not the incredibly interconnectedness I grew up and got used to. Maybe social media is partially to blame? Maybe it's just that PC got far too big for its own good? Who knows. All I can tell you for sure is that PC's era of dominance is coming to an end.
So, I sold my PC and instead bought myself a Switch in order to play with some friends. Probably the best decision I made in a while. It's not the console for everyone and I wouldn't recommend getting it unless you have friends with one, but for me it's rather perfect.
Splatoon is fucking amazing, no lie. It's not perfect, but it's a lot better than anything I've played to date. Pokken is fun too, but the combos are a bit complicated and I mainly get my ass kicked by someone from Japan. Still, I'm getting similar vibes to what I got back in the late '90s/early '00s. I don't know, maybe I'm just a bit more "casual"? Maybe I'm just too old to understand kids these days? I don't know.
And I want to go back to the days when we did pogroms every time those pesky (((merchants))) acted up.

Please don't act like you're not killing Holla Forums.

maybe you should stop playing shit games and keep playing the same game you always have been, fucking waste of quads of a poser

Modern gaming is terrible on most fronts and I've stopped caring.
Oh boy here we go

It's like you revel in being a newfag. Holla Forums and Holla Forums have always overlapped on this site.

I'd love to, but UT has fallen to the wayside and Quake is now owned by Bethesda. Everything I really enjoyed is dead. Legit finished.
Ryan Gray
Good god OP. Either you're a nintendrone or you're retarded. Not that they're exclusive anyway.

What aren't they ruining?
Hunter Carter
stalker was boring as shit
Luke Sanders
yeah, PC gaming isn't really particularly good these days. I think it's probably the worst experience of all platforms except the xbone, but I have no experience with the xbone but plenty of intimate experience with PC gaming. Played all the """"""""""""classics""""""""""" (most are shit), found a few games that are incredibly flawed but pretty nice and unique (stalker, thief, etc.) But overall the best games on the platform are pretty much whatever console games ended up getting ported over.
also nice get. Get into console games, classic console games, you'll be a lot happier.
Brandon Ross
So if I someone was to make a new video game, where should he sell it? Asking for a friend.
Elijah Cook
OP, you just ruined your thread after 2 posts. You have just proven you have a room-temperature IQ and know nothing about the world. You have immediately shown to everyone reading that nothing in your post is worth heeding. GG.

I saw it coming too, once PC lost its physical market, it was doomed. When you can't even trade money for ownership you know it's a fucking disaster.
Hudson Long
If you have a group of friends to play with or a gaming clan, it doesn't matter how old or unpopular a multiplayer game is. These days the most socializing people want to do is join a matchmaking queue.

You can sell on steam and not include the DRM you fuck wit.
You cannot complain about having furries in a multiplayer game's community, then say pokken of all fucking things is free of that sin.
Nathaniel Brooks
Papadripopoulos doesn't deserve your scorn. Can YOU draw better than her?

Michael Turner
I just gave up on gaming. There's a small handful of games I still play (they're all old/very old) but only on occasion. I instead started programming. I hope to one day make a video game of my own but I'm more busy with robot & machine programming right now, I've set sail on making a DIY CNC mill, i got all the parts sans extruded aluminium and proper rails and proper ballscrew rods and I know everything I need to know about how to drive stepper motors or servos, and how to process G codes. I cannot into inverse kinematics but it's a basic 3 axis machine so all of its motion is trivial. Once I'm done with that I think I'll just further move away from games and programming and start doing crafts. I want to make an acryllic glass fully mechanical computer, just for kicks. And a mechanical music machine, too. Also maybe a steampunk-ish robot suit, half wood half aluminium, pneumatic drive, etc.
Levi Ramirez
You didn't warn anyone of anything you pathetic faggot. Now have fun with your paid mods for Skyrim™ Switch™ Edition™
Justin Nelson
What? how? Isn't Steam by itself a form of DRM?
Levi Green
BEEP BEEP, make way for master race coming through, I'm running fast to make up for the time lost waiting for this port
Feels good to be mustard race. Now excuse me while I research what great games there are to come. With a swift google search of E3-2016, I'll be able to plan what games I'll be playing for months to come

Get the fuck back to tumblr and off my thread I swear to god.
Yeah, paying for the RIGHTS to play games is not okay and basically allows you to get raped by social justice warrior devs, who can revoke your RIGHT to play their game at any point. Bullshit.
Charles Perez
It's only "DRM" as in "you can't download it from the store unless you bought it from the store". I.e. it fucking isn't, if the game doesn't includes DRM then Steam is the same as GoG, for practical purposes anyway.
Noah Flores

Zachary Turner

Jace Sanchez
Say what you will about Mark, but at least he has humility and humor, he knows what he does.
Charles Flores
Steam is just a storefront, same as GoG. When you download the files from steam, if you try to launch them without a valid steamapi.dll or whatever, the game will to launch and you'll be redirected to the store. That is basic steam DRM. You can choose to not include that, and steam will just let you download the unaltered file without steamworks, that you can move anywhere and will still work with no internet etc.
Nathaniel White

Nice one. Not yet, but I'm improving quickly and unlike Padalongname I'm not jewish enough to sell poorly-drawn scribbles. The guy has no fucking idea what he's doing and needs to relearn all the basics if he ever wants to improve.
Kayden Johnson
Okay, fuck off with this ancient meme.
Quake 3 was my treasured gem of '99, and outdoing UT99 for all intents and purposes. It shined a light on the competitive scene while it was still in the underground. Shit was amazing and played like gold even with dial-up, hell I had no issues with ping. Either way, it wasn't casual and had a massive learning curve. Quake 4 completely shit on all of that and Bethesda's new non-Quake title IS the definition of casual.
Logan Cruz
Where do I start with drawing, user? Any good resources you can recommend?

Brayden Ramirez
(Compared to other Quake games), it is slow, and you have little turning ability or air control, and the weapon balance is more biased towards hitscan weapons (also because of map design). It is literally the game that was fixed by mods (CPMA, DeFrag) prior to Bethesda games being the meme for that. To this day you have people playing Clan Arena on the paid-for-remake-of-a-web-browser-rerelease of Quake 3 Arena where they don't need to do item control or resource management.
However because it is still faster than a modern game and has had more general publicity than previous Quake games, so it largely maintains a perspective of speed and skill even so when 99% of the salty losers don't fully understand why they lost by 20 frags on maps ported from Quake 1.

Study anatomy and draw from life. Don't skimp on shit like learning perspective either, it might seem dull to a new artist but it will let you draw lots of neat shit later and prevent many common mistakes. Check 8ch.net/loomis/hub.html and especially their mega folder, they have a shitton of resources.
How am I supposed to scan art without a scanner or camera, user?
Camden Bailey
Normally, I'd say you're jumping to conclusions, but I just saw his coworker's low effort thread to hype the fact that the Switch can now record all of 30 seconds of video, but only with "compatible" games (read: Mario and Zelda only). Nintendo must be getting desperate for new hardware sales since their consoles have a god awful attachment rate.

loot boxes are this generation's horse armor, except now instead of giving them a couple bucks once to get the cosmetic bullshit you want, you give them a couple bucks repeatedly for small chances to get the cosmetic bullshit you want
Nolan Thompson
Damn, you are 100% right. I never thought about this connection until you mentioned it, but it's so true. I remember people being angry at Bethesda for the horse armor shit, angry enough to where random people would insult me for having all the achievements in Oblivion (yes I was a console fag back in the day).
Now people unironically watch streamers open virtual boxes that routinely give items that are much less interesting than horse armor. It seems like a sick joke.
Hunter Campbell
OP, don't forget every multiplayer games tailored for Reddit and streamers.
Nolan Phillips
I don't understand the issue – most old online games still have playerbases. All you gotta do is fire up a client and see which one has players, or try to drag some friends along and see how far that takes you. Don't gotta make a wall of text about shit that we've either discussed ad nasuem or do not care about.

Not necessarily Basically that. 2004 attitudes with 2017 tech. None of the SJW bullshit. No such thing as (((microtransactions))) or (((paid mods))), or any real money-grabbing tactics. You pay for a game, you get the content the game says it offers. No more, no less. I would still shell out for expansive, in-depth DLC though

Those old mods for old games still exist.
The next step for gamers is just totally distancing themselves from the total bullshti being spewed out. There are tons of games released you've never played. Tons of those games have mods you have never played. Tons of those modded games have mod tools you have never used.

Henry Rogers
I think people should realize (if they don't already) that most game developers emerge from the same shitty poisoned pool. Game devs live in the real world where they need to socialize, take political sides and their shitty friends can also ruin them by pulling them into their groups and then fill their heads with nonsense. While in the early 00s we blamed all problems on execs, the truth of the matter is that game developers were also responsible for the destruction of this industry. Half of the mess we are in is caused by execs true, but the other half is because devs being complete faggots deserving of a beating as well as most of them not being hard-core gamers.
Most devs I assume are liberals, so that already dashes away a lot of interesting messages in a game because they always like to insert their shitty messages on what THEY feel is right and wrong about anything inside their games. For example most games have a message of love everyone and be equal to everyone or (if there's morality in the game) be a racist Satan otherwise because that's what the devs believes is right and wrong. This becomes an even worse problem when devs socialize with SJW friends and through them might be converted to their ways because they want to be part of the group, then you see even shittier messages in games.
This wasn't much of a problem in the past because people were slightly saner and devs just wanted to make cool shit they experienced in their childhoods from maybe great TV shows, cartoons, story books or whatever. Now however devs have to find inspiration elsewhere, the problem is that most stuff today is shit and so they can only mostly make shit in return.
What I'm trying to say here is that it's all connected, if society is shit, then we have shit entertainment which in return helps make society shittier, it's a loop. Execs are always going to be a problem, but that can be fixed with money. Game devs can't be fixed with money because this is a problem of ideology, cancerous people like that have to be purged in society before game devs can make interesting shit again.
Jordan Gray
I found these two Steam curators which deals with Early Access games.
I know that there's some perks to Nintendo, like playing Bayonetta sequels, amiibos, their cool game lineup, and such. But selling your PC? I'm raising my eyebrows here.
I may like Nintendo, but I've usually bite their heads off because of stupid censorship (like Treehouse did recently with Fire Emblem Fates, a co-op Legend of Zelda game, and a few examples I can't name), members of the Nintendo Partner Program decided to change their minds and now yt shillers can't livestream Nintendo games, Nintendo of America's Treehouse, etc.
But PC can be used for serious non-gaming means, like paying the bills. Since we're talking about games, there's GOG and Steam, which have sales every other week and the big Steam sales, were broke people can buy a $60 dollar game for an insanely lower price during those times, that game is $10 or less. The multiplayer is free.
