Both of these are true. 9/10 times the west makes better games than Japan. Yeah there are exceptions but they are exceptions not the rule. There are a lot of people who jerked off so much most of their braincells died so these games might be a little bit out of their reach.

The west absolutely made the best games of the 90s and early 00s. I used to think the Japs actually made decent shit long after the collapse of western game design but looking at the autistic number-crunching cumbrain anime garbage they produce now, it's pretty clear that good games aren't made anymore on all fronts. The west will always be king.

These games don't get nearly enough credit for their cinematics. The intros to both SC and D2 are insanely good. I still can't wrap my head around how they made this stuff, especially 20+ years ago.

>> No.6948564

I was never really into RTS games like Warcraft and Starcraft but I can say that they're incredibly well made games of such genre. I really liked Diablo when I was a kid though.
Shame that Activision basically destroyed Blizzard from the inside-out like a virus but at least one of the co-founders created that new studio/publisher called Dreamhaven which holds promise.

>>6948564
I'm not big on RTS in general but SC and WC3 always held a special allure for me. For one, they're the only RTS games I've ever played that actually made me want to play for the stories. Characters like Raynor and Mengsk are ridiculously well-acted.

>> No.6948621

I can see the merits of each game, but personally I never really enjoyed them much. Especially Diablo II, I don't like this type of clicker-looter-game. I think I made it to the jungle levels once or the level after that but I just can't keep going on with it.

>> No.6948624

>>6948621
Sounds like you just picked the wrong class. If you don't like a lot of clicking then melee classes and the like are off the table. I don't see how anybody couldn't enjoy something like necro though. Come on man, making corpses explode and raising undead cows isn't fun? I agree that act 3 is a slog but you missed out on the two best acts following it. Not to be one of those "it gets better 20 hours in" kind of guys but in this case it's really true, you can't appreciate Diablo 2 until you clear it once and open up access to the truly fun and interesting loot.

>> No.6948634

>>6948624
That's the thing, I always picked necro because it seemed like the class I'd enjoy the most. Maybe I ought to go back and play some other class but there's just something about the whole genre that doesn't appeal to me. (I've tried some other ones too like Torchlight and boy is that game shitty)

>> No.6948643

>>6948634
Torchlight is a very shitty game indeed. I agree the genre as a whole is lackluster, but man, trust me, if you give it enough of a chance you'll really enjoy it. Grinding through a horde of glowing neon demons and seeing that unidentified golden or green item pop out is one of the most boner-inducing gameplay experiences you can have. I also suggest taking time away from the combat to enjoy some of the game's side activities like gossiping with the characters or experimenting with horadric cube recipes. There's a lot more than meets the eye. Pick a class to try anew and look up a guide for it first so you can pick out a decent build and have a good time. I suggest Druid if you want diversity, but if the spellcasting side wasn't your schtick then maybe you just need a litte good old bloody Barbarian combat. Definitely give it another chance brother.

hard pill to swallow:
Gaming in all forms is just as immature and onions as anything else. Nintenfags get the brunt of it because their culture is loaded with consooming and numale merchandise. But the activity is still the same - playing games when you could be outside or doing literally anything else less selfish with your time

>> No.6951138

>>6950007
Yeah, that's a fucking retarded argument. Not all games are made equal. Playing a multiplayer game with my friends and engaging in socialization and teamwork is not the same as playing pong by yourself. Some games provide a means to socialize, challenge yourself, exert creativity, improve your reflexes or introduce you to new ways of thinking, while other games are little more than glorified tinker toys or lottery tickets. By your logic, literally nothing has a purpose and everything is a waste of time. That is effectively true, but if you're going to engage in a recreational activity then playing a game which actually tests you and provides a means by which to become sharper and more creative is not the same as engaging in some dumbed down console faggotry. No matter what way you slice it, playing a game like StarCraft is infinitely less gay than playing Mario, sorry.

In the scene we call it broodwar. Because broodwar is the game, the tournaments, the perfection. Also it makes it more clear we are not talking about starcraft in general, like starcraft2 for example. Broodwar is broodwar. It's the best game on this planet. Starcraft compared to broodwar is not very good.

Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines

>Which porn games? Mid 2000s flash games?
Yes, adult flash games in general. The best of them. They are lightweight, start quick, easy to store, easy to collect, have some of the best artists and creators and the most surprises, potential and variation.
