Zero Hour is still one of my all time favorite games. Have you tried the mod/remake that's out there? I think it's called command and conquer generals evolution.
Shattered Paradise is an expansion for Tiberian Sun on OpenRA, its goal is to (im)balance the game by adding new factions (Mutants, C.A.B.A.L. and Scrin) and reworking the original sides, all of this to create a game a little more varied and balanced than TS. The mod puts a lot of emphasis on making the factions as asymmetric as possible.
thanks for the tip but what do you guys think i meant when i said "I like to try games before I buy ... I would have been furious had i paid for them" and "These games are BAD, and i don't even play them for free......"?
Multiplayer online shooters got boring over a decade ago. I pirate everything since then. This is an easy position to take if you're not playing online.
Almost nothing works 100% like it should, but the modder community has probably fixed/improved/replaced whatever it is.
My wife enjoys watching me play fallout, so "we" beat 4 over the summer. I pirated red dead 2 after F4, and it is nowhere near as good as the world would lead you to believe. Disappointingly bad, so it's good I didn't pay (for either).
Fallout 4, for example, runs like shit on my friends' proper gaming PCs. Even after all the legit updates frame rates suck in the city and shit glitches here and there. Mine is pirated with mods and independent fixes, and they say I have the best running F4 on earth.
Pirate everything and do your best. Alternatively, you can download entire game-changing mod packs and updated textures etc for old games you used to love. Old Xbox era or 90s console type games or even bigger shit like fallout London.
Moral to the story is yes, almost everything sucks now. TV, too. You guys already know.
Don't even look at games from the past decade from studios or producers you've heard of for one.
The likes of Ubisoft, EA, Square Enix, Microsoft, Zenimax Bethesda, Bioware, WB etc. These should be ignored outright. For lesser known studios, check DEI detected for diversity shit and contribute when you find it.
Vet your purchases as only you are responsible for voting with your wallet.
Even then you're not always going to be right, especially if you're getting something to play with a friend and it becomes a debacle like Hellsdivers 2

I tend to make my own fun. As such,I have fun doing whatever. But a good game would be nice. Anyone want to get together and make something? I got ideas.
haven't tried it yet, and even though that game is highly rated i can tell that at least 50% of these highly raved about games are people just going along with the crowd. and i've been bitten before by wasting my time with games that people said were good and weren't. like enter the gungeon and the binding of isaac. enter the gungeon is said to be the BEST roguelite and i would put it near the bottom isaac is botched potential, but serious sam tormental does it right. nuclear throne is a good competitor as well.
and i know this is an unpopular opinion but i didn't like reddit redemption 2 at all. controls sucked, gameplay was run of the mill and nothing special, the random happenings and range of things you could do was neat but i fucking raged when they had you do that bear mission and the recipe menu is all fucked up and it's not clear how to make it or what I'm supposed to do (i'm starting to forget what was actually wrong with that part because it's been so long), and while i was sitting there fucking with the ingredients i was thinking "is the game doing this on purpose to try and make me walk somewhere and i'm going to get 'surprise' attacked by the bear?" sure enough. i walk away to leave the mission because i fully intended to not do it anymore and i would just quit the game if i got to a point where i had to do it and the game wouldn't progress, and this giant bear jumps out from behind a rock that wasn't even big enough to cover it, and the game did some gay quick time event with a faggy cinematic view and i died which doubly pissed me off. then what triply pissed me off was that i lost my cowboy hat (which was one of the main reasons i was playing the game; i wanted to play a cowboy western game), then what quadrulely pissed me off was the map did not fill out where i had traveled to get into the place. then i got x5 pissed off because i didn't have my horse and the world is fucking boring as shit and then the game told me "you are cold, go change clothes back at the camp". no. just fucking no. i could never follow the map in the first place and every time i got to camp i accidentally ended up there, and i stopped caring about cosmetics in games when i was a kid because the game always erased my progress after i put all that time into customizing it. and again......... change clothes because "you are cold". no. i'm not doing that and that better not affect the fucking gameplay in any way. i even turned on cheats in that piece of shit game to bypass that incredibly gay core system and incredibly gay travel time between locations (and i turned on invincibility to make sure no gay random events would kill me while i was 10x the game speed to fast forward through the traveling). the game isn't fun to me, i'm not a graphics fag so that does nothing for me, and the SJW shit in the game was a dealbreaker.
oh no, you poor thing. I tried out factorio a few years ago and have now logged over 2000hours of gameplay. it's just that good. it's like crack for autists.
Just played a first game in death world mode. Holy bullshit. Once I had enough gun turrets in low pollution mode I just went all out polluting and basically the next 5 hours of the 7 were just restocking the guns and barely progressing the developing of the base. Left off just securing green flasks as fully automated in a quickly up scalable way.
Would be viable if it were two people and one could keep to restocking the weapons and the other dev'ing the base.
tbh man I'm having trouble keeping playing. Indeed it's quite addicting. But what is the game exactly. Just rebuilding the tech tree over and over again?
and for that reason it seems not quite finished to me. i didn't play it enough though to make a real assessment, but i did sense that there is no point to the game. game like that need to have a campaign, then let the players go wild with functionality
It’s really shocking to play a base building / war game and one play it once through and be done but it does seem I’m gonna be a “1 and done player” for it. I can’t just think of a thing new to do for it.
The bugs aren’t really like an active adversary but more like an environmental thing. So the whole game pretty much seems to be the puzzle of figuring out how to mass scale once.
if you don't mind getting your data from russia, torrent from a site called "fitgirl repacks"
The answer is torrents. In my life, I've maybe only bought about 4-6% of the games I've played. Stellaris is over $300 with all of it dlc, so fuck that. fuck the jewed gaming. steal everything, pay for the ones you love by supporting the developers directly instead of through a 3rd party like steam.
Everytime I've tried to pirate a game, it never works or has something wrong with it. I went on your site, couldnt find the game i want (old version of AoM cause my computer is too shit to run the new), click on the new version and immediately see a comments section of people trying to get it to work and having problems, always the same shit: https://fitgirl-repacks.site/age-of-mythology-retold/#disqus_thread
thanks for the tip but what do you guys think i meant when i said "I like to try games before I buy ... I would have been furious had i paid for them" and "These games are BAD, and i don't even play them for free......"?
I play mostly indie and classic games. If an indie game is shit, at least I paid no more than $10 for it and the proceeds didn't go to a jew. If a classic game is shit, there's probably a mod for it.
