discussion If you could play any game On-Release again, what would it be and why?

[hotrodjesus]

Tonight got me thinking about the 'glory days', and it made me wonder what everyone considers the 'glory days'.

For me, I remember playing Halo 3 at my mates house nearly every night of the week until my parents finally upgraded our internet so I could play online. The memories I have coming home from school, and talking shit as a 12 year old through the microphone to full grown adults, all whilst thinking I was the toughest and baddest kid to ever walk the earth. From the campaign, to the Multiplayer, to the custom games, to making our own shitty Machinimas with a Handheld Camera (capture cards were hard to get). For me, the Halo 3, MW2, Black Ops and Halo Reach and Far Cry 2 days were peak gaming. Thats when life was simplest, that's when games came out complete.

Man thats a great list, I would personally swap RDR2 for The Witcher 3, I loved RDR2 but the story on TW3 for me was just flawless, and its DLCs were basically entire games.

Skryim was so good back then, I'll never forget the first time I walked outta that cave in Helgen and hearing that soundtrack play. Still one of the best soundtracks ever, not just in a game.

I completely forgot about gears of war, slashing open enemies with the chainsaw bayonett was so satisfying. I remember someone modding that gun into COD zombies and it was soooo good

Totally forgot about The Witcher 3. I can keep replaying that game over and over. I freshen that game up with mods.

BG3.
I wish to have my memory wiped so I can go blind into that game once more.

What mods do you run with it? I've got a problem with that game, its that once I start it, I dump 150 hours into it to 100% the whole thing, everytime. Its the 2nd game I've ever 100% completed and I reckon i've done it like 3 separate times. God tier writing and character development. Such an impactful world. I wish Cyberpunk had the same feeling

Ghost of Tsushima, do i need to say why....

 

[upbutte]

Resident Evil 4 (not remake). A good fresh start of third-person Resident Evil series.

 

[ga32414]

Shadow of the Colossus and Journey, definitely want to experience first time playing these glorious games again.

Ahh yes. Man, I wish I have VR to play this and probably kill myself multiple times at the castle section. Hahaha.

Hard choice.
Many games got better with patches.

That said:
Command and conquer was my childhood games.
I still have happy feelings thinking about tiberian crystals.
Suchs an interesting invention.
Not as corruptive as the flood(Tho argueable very deadly to the flood) not as gameplay as starcraft crystals or star trek dilierium.

Just the right combination of valueable resource and horrifying terraforming tool.

 

[TittyCommittee]

Summertime Saga

Oh you meant a normal game

 

[aminam]

Ahh yes. Man, I wish I have VR to play this and probably kill myself multiple times at the castle section. Hahaha.

Hahah first playthroug ... killed myself like 1000 times. Second playthrough (unlimited ammo minigun) just went wild shooting everything is see (especially ashley hehe). It gives whole new vibes to the game.

 

[Deleted member 121354]

So god damn many. Especially older games with great stores and worlds. Undying, or VTM: Bloodlines for example. Honestly, a lot of people hate on remasters and remakes, but if we got fixed diablo 2 style remasters of many older games, they would be the best years of recent gaming. (i mean, we have a decent amount of great games coming and in the last few years, but holy shit have we had so much trash too).
