Armored Core wasn't even a runner up on any of the categories, while FC24 was in like 3 of them. I completely give up.
Varyag
And of all things, it was full of Nazi dogwhistles. When that was brought up,they quickly and quietly changed the name and description of the game on Steam.
Everyone already mentioned Dark Souls and stuff like that. Some stages in classic Doom are also kinda like that.
But my personal nemesis is the mission Glatisant in Ace Combat Zero. Every AC game has it's long score attack missions, but Glatisant is mandatory in every run of a game you have to clear at least 3 times, and it's a 30 minute long ground assault on a snowy mountain range with poor visibility and covered in air defenses. The danger level never gets lower, and it's easy to get shot down right at the end and having to start it all over again.
Always skip Blighttown, and the game still loses steam on Lost Izalith. Really the worst part of the game.
Ohh yeah going back through the tower again in DMC3 is annoying. It was already kinda hard to navigate before the scramble.
Speaking of Armchair Copelord, it seems like he's hit a "broken clock is right twice a day" moment with the new Russian rifle proposal. https://twitter.com/ArmchairW/status/1739403026451112357
I'm thirty and this was me when I finally found UT and Quake last year. The Finals is pretty cool too, ngl.
Right after we finally fixed the track to not be that much of a snoozefest, we lose it for another damn street curcuit.
God I love old games getting fanmade expansion and mods. The passion people have for their favorite games can kee them alive and interesting after many years. I've been playing 30 years of Doom mods, 20 something years of Quake mods, fan translated Super Robot Wars, a fully standalone modpack expansion to another standalone mod based on a custom engine of the Stalker games, I've recently got Star Wars:Galaxy at War... The possibilities are endless.
I used to think I'd move if old.reddit died, but I migrated here much sooner when the whole API debacle happened, and I don't know if many people who still care are still in there.
Yeah, and it sucks because of that. The amount of misinformation, propaganda and fake news that has been circulated through Whatsapp on the previous 4 years was astounding and almost ruined the country permanently.
I have literally 30 years of gaming history in my PC. I can go without playing subscription based games. Fuck off with that, Ubisoft.
