The only interesting one to me was 5, since it took place in murrica. I honestly don't give a fuck about all the other ones that take place in dirt countries, because you already EXPECT things are just shitty there. You encounter some guy like Vaas and you're just like "well yeah 85% of the men in this shit country look and act just like this guys, woopdie doo"

They need to do a Far Cry in DC where turrurrists have taken over the WH and managed to infiltrate the entire government structure of the nation. Shooting at leaves and brown people in jungles is just whatever.

Neither of those three is /vr/ material and change of the sticky doesn't alter that.

>>7135096
People like you are the very reason why the "pre-2000" rule was set in the first place. Changing that instead of simply launching a new board was a big mistake

Do yourself a favour and replay it from modern perspective. I guess the term "vindication" is the best way to describe what's going with FC2.
Don't get me wrong, it's not some sort of "hidden gem" type of deal, the game is flawed. But it does a variety of things well and doesn't deserve the amount of panning it got.

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 2 20:29:50 2020 No.7138261 >>7135079 >>7137198 Why would PS1 be retro but not PS2? The jump from 2D to 3D, and from SD to HD, is much greater. It's amusing to see such retarded gatekeeping.

>muh gatekeeping
This board was simply for things released prior to 2000. Then some moron decided to actually put "retro" in the sticky. Then entire bunch of morons considered this place a refuge from /v/tardation, so started campaigning that "b-but this is retro after X years" and other similar bullshit. Ultimately gook moot realised he can capitalise on this (since more traffic) and change of sticky was implemented. Like all gookmoot plans, it did jack shit to traffic, because whatever gain he had from new rules was killed by exodus of old userbase
But sure, it's just "gatekeeping" not not making sure /vr/ is a distinctive thing about distinctive stuff, rather than "lmao, /v/ 2.0"

I really really enjoyed the gameplay when fighting camps of mercs, and the environment and the swimming etc, but for some reason didn't play right to the end. Aliens i dont care about i guess.

For me the joy of single player FPS is one man finding a way to defeat 5 men or so with the same guns as you, who are just as stong, by tactics.
There's a little bit of this in HL1, like the map Surface Tension c where you have to pop up like a mole from these linked manholes and try to get behind the grunts.
Far Cry you get to do this but like 20 times in different ways and that's even better.
But then HL2 has pretty much nothing like that so for me, OP is right

As I explained, retarded gatekeeping. Which is more retarded than none at all because 1) it's not even effective and amounts to nothing more than shitposts, exodus, and in-fighting 2) even if it was effective it would have a negative effect, due to its irrational basis.

Great insightful post on why the alien parts always suck in these games.

If I had to add a further why, I think it's because they make the aliens harder than the usual grunts so you have less possibilities to deal with them. But at the same time the aliens are not hard enough to feel like a distinct challenge, being hunted. So it ends up like the normal grunts just became frustratingly better.
