Probably Nuke Dukem Because He Chews Bubble Gum, Pulls Trim & Not Scared Of Nothing

>>8719874
Call of Duty 4 on pc. Nobody will name one with better controls, multiplayer or single player. You're welcome.

>>8719878
>cod 4 is officially a retro game
oh man

>>8719874
Team Fortress 2
>Retro gaming means platforms launched in 2001 and earlier, and official game titles for those platforms released no later than December 2007
PC < 2001, TF2 < Dec 2007

>>8719878
CoD4 has some good movement. I think it was made on the Quake 3 engine.

>>8719878
>Nobody will name one with better controls, multiplayer or single player
Quake

>>8719874
duke nukem 3d is the best fps

>>8719874

>>8719886
I'm assuming he meant nobody will name a better cod game.

>>8719883
I was originally gonna post quake 3 as I played it to death on DC but remembered pc cod4 is retro.

Powerslave on Saturn. None of that remaster garbage.

>>8719963
might as well throw in the others lobotomy software conversions

Alien Trilogy

>>8719874
Metroid Prime, timeless
Agent Under Fire, comfy

>>8720015
>metroid
>fps where you can barely strafe
Doom on snes handles better.

>>8719990
You gotta try the mod for doom 1. So much fun.

>>8720029
Metroid Prime is great. Deal with it.

>>8719895
CoD1 or United Offensive

>>8719874
quake 2
>inventory system (thank god)
>maps are huge and more complex
>which means more secrets per level
>lore makes more sense compared to q1
>very fun to play and jump around, as expected from a quake game

>>8719883
oh damn. I guess my answer is also TF2

>>8719874
If it was 2004 and I was a 14 year old now, I'd say Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. I played story mode (which they now call "deleted scenes"?) unhealthy amount of times.

Nowadays, I'm super nostalgic for Unreal Tournament and Quake 3, both of which I played on Dreamcast back in the day. I have Q3 disc for PC somewhere in my stuff, maybe I should go find it and have some fun with bots.

serious sam has a perfect arsenal and enemy roster

>>8719878
Fpbp, came here to say this.

>>8719874
Doom and Half-Life 1 are easily the best if mods are taken into account.
Duke 3D and Serious Sam TFE/TSE are muh favorites if not.
Thanks for reading my blogpost.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. I guess.
The atmosphere, the openworldness and tradesimness.

Socom 1 and 2 was the most exciting fun i had for some reason.
I was in 8th or 9th grade.

Serious Sam TFE

>>8719874
Daikatana because i couldn't leave without my buddy Superfly

>>8720062
It's a good game but the fps on gamecube is trash. Deal with it.

Blood, its really fun and funny and spooky and ghouley

>>8721073
AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

>>8720062
Not when it comes round strafing. Remove the metroid brand and you've got a clunky opening doors simulator.

>>8719874

Duke is great, love the urban setting, raunchy, irreverent humor and level design

>>8722019
My bad, didn't realize you are just a shit poster or else i wouldn't have responded.
Carry on.

>>8719891
The game that invented it all

>>8722001
>screams directly into your earhole

Shadow Warrior 1997 for me. Wish the control was just a little more accurate but otherwise a perfect game really.

>>8722152
You're delusional if you think Metroid controls well for a fps.

>>8722040
>retro shooter
>tf2
Get out faggot, don't make me feel old

>>8719874
Hard tossup between system shock 2 and ultimate doom. The wads from doom are unforgettable, but system shock 2 is just great. Honorable mention to quake 3.

house of the dead 2 or quake 3 arena

>>8723062
Virtua Cop is a better fps

Duke 3D because it's the one I have the most nostalgia for. Also just controls really well and I like Duke.

>>8723082
true

>>8719891
2 is a hard improvement in every way.

>>8723082
still gotta play dat one

>>8722571
just gonna say that SS2 is unfinished and SS1 is superior

half life

>>8719874
Most of the build engin game.

>>8719874
basically all of them

>>8723845
holy based

>>8719874
The first Deus ex

>>8722558
that game is fifteen years old haha hehe.

Classic Doom series, Quake 2, and Blood. Quake 1 and the other major build games are an inch behind, it was hard to choose my three favorites.

I really can't name a single favorite but my top are: Doom, Blood, Sudden Strike 1 & 2, Blitzkrieg 1, Operation Flashpoint CWC, X-Com TFTD
>>8721947
A man of culture.

>>8723845
>blood 2
yeah? real gamer cred there huh?

>>8719874
I think Doom is the one that I enjoy playing the most these days. It has aged amazingly well and still feels great to play.

>>8724668
While a huge mess and a disappointing sequel, I did actually enjoy playing it back then when I had no youtuber or online hivemind telling me to not enjoy things.

>>8724731
>back then
i see

ChaosDM best DM

>>8719878
Just wait until next year, World at War will be the better retro shooter

>>8719874
Cool levels, amazing late 90s DbB soundtrack. Awesome weapons. Fast exciting gameplay. Still has a small but active community online. Lots of mods for custom characters and levels. The bots are really fun to play against as well with lots of different difficulty settings and custom mutators for matches. My 2 favorite music tracks on it are "Nether Animal" and "Foregone Destruction". Check out many of the videos highlighting tower sniping on the map "Facing Worlds".

Haven't played 99, I assumed 04 just kind of overtook it and made it obsolete. How worth it is going back to play it?

>>8724967
It is very worth it. I cannot overstate what a legendary game it is anon.

>>8725027
But how does it compare against 04?

>>8725391
why do you need other people on 4chan to convince you to play games? just try it .

>>8725414
This is a video game board. I'm asking him questions about his favorite video game. Get off my ass.

>>8725391
Hey Anon, sorry for late reply. It is my favorite of the UT series. I own them all and I would say that 04 is second best to 99 goty. Both are excellent games but I think 99 did everything the series was supposed to do the first time. There are certain maps from 99 that one would have to import with mods to 04 to play. Like SpaceNoxx. When playing 04 I mostly play on the maps that were ported in from 99 anyways. 04 has onslaught mode with vehicles and large maps where your team must capture control points that connect across the map in order to take out enemies base. I find these maps fun but not as fun as normal deathmatch ctf assault smaller maps due to them playing out slower and more down time just traveling across the map. So in a way everything that was ADDED to 04 was just kind of fluff to me. When it comes to the point where you are searching the internet to import maps that were already playable in 99 most of the time you just sorta realize why not just play 99. Hope this helps.

>>8725491
>Hope this helps
It did, I think I'll give it a go. 04 has been giving me technical problems lately so I've gotten frustrated with it anyhow. 04 actually has this bug where it can't properly adjust mouse input based on changes in fov, meaning you need to have the exact right fov for your sensitivity settings to actually be what they say they are in the menu. This makes the fov change that occurs when you scope in with the sniper rifle completely fuck your mouse up on certain 64 bit systems, making sniping near impossible.

I've been told 99 has this same issue, do you have any experience with what I'm talking about?

Doom 1, 2,TNT and Plutonia.
UV all the way, shit's fun, even the chaingunner experiment.
Also deathmatch.

>>8725696
I have never personally had that problem but I never really mess with FOV. Here are some very useful links for you to look into though.

https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Unreal_Tournament_2004

https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Unreal_Tournament

Also if you should so happen to download the game from https://www.gog.com/ which would be my personal choice.

https://www.gog.com/forum/unreal_series/missing_content_bonus_maps_and_other_issues

>>8725696
By the way only use the download links from the pcgamingwiki links because the links from the gog forum are outdated and no longer usable. I just sent the gog forum link to easily list what is missing from the gog release so you can easily download the missing pieces on the pcgamingwiki pages. Have fun!

How very unusually helpful. Thank you anon, I will not forget this.

The contra adventure for ps1. So good.

>>8719874

Unreal Tournament obviously, because it's objectively the best in every possible way. Serious Sam comes next because it's fun, unlike most of these games. And then Strife because I like being on an adventure in a world and having some freedom.

Crysis, my favorite retro™ shooter. I love how retro it looks.

Retro Blazer
yes Its not retro, but it looks retro to me

>>8721625
So John Romero made one bitch after all.

>>8723845
These + Strife

>>8719874
Killer Quake because playing online with people swinging from grappling hooks while shooting at each other with 20+ different weapons was peak awesome.

>>8719878
CS 1.6

>>8727725
Yeah, its economic system is genius. I wonder why only games who even tried to do something similar is literal korean clones.

>>8724839
OG Unreal Tournament was the peak of the genre. With call of duty and medal of honor everything turned to casual, dumbed down shit.

>>8719874
the one you played at lan parties with your bros back in high school

>>8719874
opposing force. it saddens me how it'll never get a good or official sequel.

>>8719874
UT 04, Quake 3 Arena, CS Pre 1.6 and 1.6
The amount of LAN parties I had playing these games with friends....gaming from 7PM-5AM straight...drinking Mountain Dew and eating frozen pizzas. JESUS CHRIST...I miss it.

>>8726118
are you being sarcastic because he's so clearly advertising gog

DUSK because it's the first game in the genre to try being fun

>>8722491
Agreed, going jumping and bombing everything was really fun

>>8722491
>Shadow Warrior 1997
That one hut or room where they were breeding rabbits. Me and a fried just sat there watching if there's a limit on how many rabbits can be bred. Unfortunately the game will randomly kill rabbits if there's too many

>>8719874
Half-life 1

Lots of reasons. It has a really cool setting; high-tech desert lab, fun enemies (various alien monsters + soldiers/assassins + turrets), lots of good weapons (including my favorite: m16 with m203), and most importantly: it's not just a shooter, it also has puzzles and platforming but they aren't arbitrary "find the hidden keycard" shit. Every level is unique; none of it feels samey.

>>8729927
Yeah and you are advertising stupidity, what is your point? Your post is like a smear across the face of the Mona Lisa that was is beautiful informative thread. Do better anon, or you will cease to have friends and live a life of crippling depression.

>>8719874

ps2 version best version

Quake 1 because its physics surpass everything in terms of fluidity and dynamics of motion. To this day there's not a better game in terms of 3D spatial controls
