Half-life 2 will turn 20 in November so I guess the third one is coming out any day now (opens a new can of copium and grips the favourite spork)
I'm sure Portal 3 is coming soon too... right?
Sure, right after Left 4 Dead 3
If only valve could count past 2
Black Mesa remake looks so good. I just picked it up for $4 on Steam. It was nearly 30 damn gigs lol.
Black Mesa is amazing! It's what the already great HL1 could have been.
you must mean half life 1.
you must mean half life 1...
....right?
Some games that came out 16 years ago:
- GTA IV
- Super Smash Bros Brawl
- Fallout 3
- Left 4 Dead
- Persona 4
I just finished my Windows XP build, and have been enjoying FO3 again the way it was meant to be played.
I am already down. Kindly refrain from kicking me.
whispers in ear: Metal Gear Solid fooooour....
Stop, stop, we're already dead.
We didn't realize we were in a golden age, did we? /old-man-noises
I knew we were in a golden age when The Orange Box came out. A red letter day in gaming.
The golden age of gaming was the late SNES/early playstation era.
Graphics were beautiful, games were long and generally had incredible, immersive, and even heart wrenching stories.
Unlike today, where the focus on hyperrealism, generally at the expense of story and definitely performance. but hey, its only 6 hours long and you get to pay 80 dollars for it, so thats great, right?
This hurts me. Why would you do this?
I am fueled by your fading sense of youth.
A IV Super Smash Bros Brawl Fallout 3 Left 4 Dead Persona 4
get out.
I remember me and my friends being so hyped for Brawl, and then gutted when it got delayed for another year
I'm ok with forgetting it. Stupid slipping.
Doom came out in 1993 Dec 10
So yeah just over 30 years ago
Thanks, I'll just be over here browsing the AARP webpage.
Hm this mortuary guide looks interesting...
We played that at the office after work :-/
I still listen to the soundtrack regularly. Though the game is slightly older than I am.
1999 was such an amazing year in my gaming life. Rollercoaster Tycoon, Mechwarrior 3, Battlezone II, and Unreal Tournament. So, so many hours of my life spent in those. That was like, 5 years ago, right?
MechCommander came out in 99, too, didnt it?
That was my introduction to battletech. Fuck I loved that game, I played it SO much.
I know MechWarrior gets all the praise and hype, but I genuinely love this specific title. It's peak isometric turn-based strategy and I love it.
Although that may have something to do with scoring that MadCat in the first or second level. I think it's supposed to give your Commando mechs a bad time, but I lit up the oil refinery next to it and lucked into getting the pilot to eject. The thing was completely salvageable and I absolutely dominated the first half of the game with it. Good times.
Breath of the wild came out 7 years ago.
This made me remember that NFS Underground 2 is 20 years old now, and it's still the peak for the series.
cue Riders On The Storm …
This made me curious so I looked up my favorite game from childhood that I still play sometimes now... Super Metroid just turned 30 years old 💀
I'm so nostalgic for that one. Don't think I ever managed to beat it back then though.
Halo CE is 23 years old.
What... call of duty modern warfare 2 still has active servers, it came like 3 or 4 years ago... right?
IW4x is actually still really active if you want to play the original MW2 multiplayer.
I'm replaying a few games that are older than my daughter and she's at college right now.
I still can't fathom that Pikmin is past the legal drinking age in the United States.
Don't look up when Pikmin 2 came out
Looks up when Pikmin 2 came out
Is a year earlier than I remembered
Turns into dust
When I was a kid, computer games for consumers were a concept of science fiction.
World of Warcraft hits 20 this year. I was there (via private servers), starting in 2006.
Went into CEX the other week, and saw PS1 games I'd bought when I was already an adult with a job, being sold second hand for more than I'd originally bought them for.
Oh, there you are, Shadow of the Colossus.
2005 (PS2), 2011 (PS3 w/ Ico), and 2018 (PS4 remake)
You can emulate a PS2 on your phone these days. Bluetooth controller with a phone clip and you have a hell of a catalogue available to you.
Forget Shadow, I was there when ICO was first released. Probably even within a month (if not week) of it's official release. At the time it looked like no other game. Very atmospheric and contemplative.
Anybody else just get back into aoe2 in the last year and watch hera? This is basically that.
Whatever T90 streams
Pong can't be that old, can it?
It could start withdrawing from a retirement account without penalty in about 6 years.
💀
The NES has been considered an antique since 2015 (30 years for an object to be considered an antique).
Linkin Park is old enough to be classic rock.
100 years is the legal definition of an antique. 20-99 years is vintage.
"Classic rock" is a nearly-meaningless term.
Always has been. It's about as specific a genre as "oldies." Just nostalgia-bait.
The local oldies station summer concert features Vanilla Ice, Tone Loc, Tag Team and some other 90s bands, so now I kind of want to buy a walker and some tennis balls since my childhood is considered oldies.
Pokemon Let's Go - 5 and a half years old Pokemon FrLg - 20 years old Pokemon RB - 25 and a half years old
That made me think of my Sega Game Gear. That was 33 years ago. I recently turned 40 and now I really do feel like an old fart.
Pitstop 2 that my brother and I played constantly we were kids are 40 years exactly... the pain..
I love that Fallout is now thought of as a first-person game, but it started as a turn-based isometric team RPG in 1997 which was, itself, a near-remake of a 1988 game, which I spent hours playing as a kid.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasteland_(video_game)
And then a few years ago, Wasteland was also revived in the style of the first two Fallout games.
Yes, I know I'm old.
I still want to go back and play the first 2 fallout games. I wasn't aware of them when they came out, so I wasn't introduced to the series until 3.
OG Graalonline player checking in
Accurate (it's a bit older than 16 years though)
Next year, Civilization IV will be TWENTY years old. D:
Dude, I remember installing the first Civilization on my Mac LC II in high school.
Here's one:
Tactics Ogre Reborn came out in late 2022 for Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, and PC.
That game is a remaster of another title called Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, which came out for the PSP in November 2010 in Japan. This puts it 12 years before Reborn.
But the PSP game was itself is a remake of a game with the same name that came out originally for the Super Famicom in October 1995, 15 years before its remake and 27 years before the remaster of that remake.
I've missed it until the Reborn remake, which I still need to finish. By the time I get back to it though, they might have put it out a 4th time!
I'm still waiting for the Ogre Battle 64 remake..... any day now.... any day...
Fuck
