What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

yeah i guess i meant specifically regarding the remake of 2. am i crazy or has all of the footage of re7 not been representative of how the actual game will play? the psn demo is basically akin to what pt was, right? or is it in fact going to be a first person game?

it's in fact going to be a first person game. they said the whole thing will be playable start to finish in VR ... 

i'm super skeptical on it tbh.. it looks like they may have jumped in and tried to fill a void left behind by PT ... and given the up and down quality of the series it's kind of hard to get too excited just yet.. we'll see. vaguely curious, as always.

They probly uprezzed the PS3 or PC version, so the textures and polygons are still dated, but I'm gonna play the shit out of it anyway.

Still move like a tank, and zombies just home in on your position... no thanks. RE has been surpassed by other zombie/survival horror games, IMO.

Still a good game for its time... Even if the controls were super awkward

Is it just me or are a lot of older games more fun than the latest ones, in general? Lately it's felt like the gaming equivalent of updating your OS whenever the newest version of Windows comes out. Like Microsocks should've stopped at Windows 7 when it was pretty much optimized. After that was just new cosmetics without any improvement or innovation in functionality.

At least with Doom 4 this year it appeared that Id Software knew what players wanted, having drawn inspiration from the mod community. A GotY nomination wouldn't surprise me. But shame I can't seem to get motivated to continue either NMS or the new Deus Ex.

 

I'll boot up DOSBox from time to time and occasionally play whatever I have downloaded, namely this.

I'm probably overwhelmingly masochistic, though, as that game is unnecessarily hard in the way that "Battletoads" is, where instead of there being actual challenge involved you just keep dying at specific parts until you commit these traps to memory and can sequentially avoid them.

yeah.. you have to use the money cheat too 

hey, I'm trying to find sim city classic right now to run on windows 7. 

I'm not savvy with the emulators etc. Is it possible to run on windows 7? =/ Any tips/hints/downloads/etc? It's freeware now I believe. Or shareware, whatever the correct term is I dont know. lol

DOS games...the original MicroProse XCOM and Raptor: Call of the Shadows are two of my faves. Strife (which uses the Classic Doom engine) is also dope. They're all available on Steam now though, so no standalone DOS emulator is needed.

Actually my favorite Street Fighter-style fighting game on DOS; One Must Fall 2097. That one you do need DOSBox to run.

All the links at dosgames are trying to charge me $5+ for each game. Are they supposed to be free?

Sure thing man. Raptor may well be my all-time fave top-down arcade shooter. Just the overall design, the ability to buy and sell stuff between missions...and if I remember right the dev team was made up of just seven guys.

I recall the difficulty was spot on as well.

Only game I remember being comparable was maybe "shoot em up" on the old amiga 500. You remember that game?

lol this dos website, awesome.

Lands of Lore is on there.

old might and magic games too <3

le sigh.

I can't make it work. I have EXE files to install some of these games but not sure how to register it through launchbox. Keep getting errors .

While we're still on the topic of DOS games: I remember somehow being allowed to play "Wolfenstein 3D" when I was 4 years old, yet could not watch shows rated 14+ without incurring the wrath of my mother when I was 10.

now look how bitter and jaded i have become

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
