Search “online tournament X” where X is the name of the game you want to play. Tampa Never Sleeps does tournaments for the likes of Street Fighter 6 and Guilty Gear Strive every week, for instance. They’re all free.
The asset recycling in DA2 was absolute madness. I really tried to like DA:I and finished it once but it was painful at times. Has nothing on common with Dragon Age but its name.
Shout-out for Tokyo Xtreme Racer! I’m bummed it isn’t on sale though. It’s a remake of a game I was hooked on in highschool. You drive around highways looking for other street racers, then you flash your lights at em, and your off. Good times.
Quick correction, even though the A in ARPG stands for action, action RPGs and ARPGs are not the same genre and you cant (well you can, but you shouldnt bc then youre purposefully being obtuse) just abbreviate it. I dont really like this list for other reasons, but I can see that you did put some effort into it so I dont want to be super critical.
I still remember someone saying that Diablo was a beat-em up, not a RPG 😁. We probably didn't know the term "hack'n'slash", but still makes me chuckle.
I really like the atmosphere. They created so much with such an minimalistic graphic style.
Factorio.
I don’t know where to start. Overall a great example that some people like to optimize and put way more effort into this game than their job. Zeitgeist?
My then-girlfriend-now-wife and I went to a temporary video game exhibit at the Museum of the Moving Image. A lot of the mainstays you’d expect were there, particularly from the arcade era, including ground-breaking titles like Dragon’s Lair (which is fascinatingly beautiful and a bad video game at the same time). At one point, one of the signs mentioned moving on from vector graphics, which my wife had no idea what that meant, so I immediately looked around for an Asteroids machine. You don’t really get how one of those games looks unless you’re playing on the genuine article. That’s the kind of thing that probably ought to be in a museum most.
I recently went to Galloping Ghost in Illinois, which is now the world’s largest arcade. It’s got nearly every arcade game you can think of, and they do a good job fixing them up. They have an F-Zero AX machine. I’ve always wanted to play one of those. I went to Galloping Ghost two years in a row, and it was broken both times. Turns out they’re having trouble sourcing the displays. As you go around the place, most machines are working, but even only a year later, more of them had display problems. I imagine even just getting regular old CRTs is going to make this kind of thing way harder as time goes on, and a good CRT does affect how these old games look, because they were designed for them. This is the kind of burden I’d expect a museum to take on.
