I played so much goldeneye that when someone fired it up almost 20 years later the controls were still in my muscle memory. I played fps on pc even back then so I knew the controller wasn’t ideal, but it worked well enough.
Any of the fallout/elder scrolls series. I remember whiling so many hours away in them as a kid and having a great time, and now any time I pick them up it just feels like a second job, looting and managing inventory ad nauseum.
I loved and hated Ultima VIII. It had a good story, was entertaining, had really good music, but it also had the most horrible jumping-on-moving-platforms torture of any game I have ever played. It also sent me on a quest they never implemented, a fact they forgot to tell the player.
Flashback was also a fantastic game, but I also do not ever want to play that again. I remember destroying a keyboard as a teen because I was so frustrated after missing the same stupid jump for the umpteenth time.
Starcraft, Starcraft 2 has ruined me with multi-building-selection, the clunkiness, no smart casting, selecting more than a handful of units at a time.
Pretty much all the games of my childhood. With a few exceptions, I don’t replay most games I enjoyed. I play once, usually say “that was cool.” And call it enough for a lifetime.
One paying for premium is pretty cheap and often half off during holidays. Something like $30-50 for a year. And it makes the grind much quicker. They gotta run their servers and make money somehow.
Two buying premium planes at holidays is fairly reasonably priced, $30-40 dollars. You get exactly what you want the it makes the grind much easier. It gives you a ton more points making life easier. I recommend the Russian mig21.
So for 30$ once plus $30-50 the game isn’t that much of a grind, you support the devs, and you get to play what you want.
Three you can pay to just unlock normal planes you’re researching. I’ve found this to be unreasonably priced and see no reason to do this. For instance for US I’m slowly research the f14. Maybe a couple days and I could have it, but if I paid for the gold it would be something dumb like $60. I think that is never worth it.
I first started playing thinking I would never pay but premium and a good high tier jet are totally worth it. I’ve played almost 600 hours and bought four premiums and prem twice. So for maybe $120 I’ve gotten 600 hours and four exactly jets I want. That’s worth it to me.
Another thought, on the subreddit people often say if you don’t enjoy just playing a the grind to get high tier isn’t fun then you won’t enjoy the game. There is a lot of truth in this. Low to mid tier is actually in many ways more fun. WW1 is hilarious because there are a lot of newbs and the props turn so fast. WW2 is even more fun. I love my early jets like the f8u. So it was annoying to start not wanting to pay and just wanting high tier jets but honestly there is so many fun planes.
I believe I’ve got my monies worth haha ;)
Edit I’ll also add realistic if quite fun. If you want more arma like you might play ground realistic so you can fight tanks and planes.
Most games I played from the PS1/N64 era. It was a time period of figuring things out and that makes it rough to go back to, but some of those experiences were magic. There’s still the rare game that I can enjoy to this day (Metal Gear Solid 1, Mario 64), but games like Syphon Filter are best left to my memories.
Diablo 2 - I’ve played all classes, some in higher difficulties, again and again and it didn’t get old for a very long time. Today I’m not enjoying these kind of games anymore but I’m not sure why. Are they so different or has my taste changed so much?
I’ve quite recently made run of D2 up to middle of Act V and rhen lost interest at all. It was a bit grindy, but the main problem was convenience factor. I was at the point when my summoning Druid started to lack behind and it is pretty much impossible to respec skills to fight that sort of bad decisions… When I was a teenager I’d just scratch it and start over with better build, but ain’t nobody got time for that now!
Witcher 3. I don’t enjoy “dark” “gritty” stuff the way that I used to. I’m way more effected by some of the more explicit themes than I used to be. When I played it it was my only solace in a rough period of my life. I’d rather protect my fond memories than play it again, as I doubt it will mean as much to me now as then.
