Are you an old school gamer a la doom/quake/goldeneye/half-life

Or do you enjoy modern gaming more. Like Fortnite.

Or if you’ve played those particular games, do you like to see what people create, in mods of these games.

I’m just a gamer who enjoys gaming 😎

@SolidGame_basic: yeah. Say. I know you like MGS. I never got into the series until last week. Now I I get what it’s all about.

More specifically, I’m playing MGS3 Snake Eater on the 3DS. My R button doesn’t work, so I’m using ZR.

But….Great Great Game.

@outworld222: nice, you can get the MGS collection on current systems for cheap now. It’s currently on sale for $19.99.

@SolidGame_basic: I’m just happy I picked up a new gaming skill I didn’t understand before.

But eventually, I’ll play them all. Lol.

FORTNITE? I am disgusted.

I guess by your definition I am kind of an old school gamer. Give me that Mario, MGS, Halo, GoldenEye etc.

I like old style games before all the broken releases, live service trash and forced woke shit. I do like the boomer shooters, but my favs are well paced and atmospheric campaigns like Half-Life, Metro, Bioshock, etc..

... and old school Battlefield for MP. :)

I'm old school.... but never played any of those games until I played eternal recently.

Kind of. I still think peak gaming is around 2004-2013, so I still play quite a number of games from that era. But I do appreciate modern games for their own merits.

Old school. Don't give a damn about most of the new so-called shooters like Fortnite. Liked Quake 2, original Unreal, a bit Bioshock, Crysis, Crysis Warhead, No One Lives Forever 1 & 2, MOHAA, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, the earlier CoD games, up to CoD 4. From what I hear the rest of CoD are trash except for maybe a few. Finished all the ones stated except Bioshock. Recently would like to try the Halo Series. Played it bit back when it came out on the PC in 2003 but never finished. Getting mixed response from Halo fans with respect should play the Original Halos in it's original style or play it in the re-master. Maybe somebody can chime in.

I enjoy both new and old style games. Never played Fortnite though and have no interest in doing so.

I don't like a lot of the early 3D games. I can appreciate some of them but many aged badly. 2D games hold up better. Fortnite is fun

Halo: The Master Chief Collection for Xbox/PC is perfectly fine now a days. When it launched on Xbox One years ago, it was kinda buggy.

Now I'm sure there's some Halo purist that be like bu-bu the hit detection blah blah bunch of BS. But whatever, it includes all the classic campaigns and multiplayer is still a blast.

I like all games, but I've played mostly modern games for the last decade.

I have played some of the JRPGs on game pass though, and played Banjo Kazooie on Series S

@outworld222: Dude old school goes back way further than those fps shooters lol.

Unreal Tournament and Quake were two of my favourite games as a teen. Now I mostly play RPG games and have no interest in modern shooters.

2003 - 2012 was the golden age. I regularly play stuff that came out during these years.

Mid to late 90s was kinda like gaming went thru puberty. I don't much care for most of the stuff from then.

If you like old school "boomer" shooters, you should check out Dusk. It's Zymansky's magnum opus.

@outworld222: Yeah, my first FPS was half life, and I played the hell out of quake 3 arena.

This couldn't be more similar to me: Half Life and Quake 3 were my most played games back then.

I am everything 😋Old school and new school.

Those are not our only choices, "old school" and....Fortnite 🙄

Back in the day, I probably played more mods than actual "real" games. I got Half-Life and the internet in 1998 (what a wonderful year for me), and from that point on it was Team Fortress Classic, Counter-Strike, and a lot of other mods.

With that said, I do play a lot of current games.

Kind of reminds me of Blood, I'll check it out.

I'd like to add "Gloomwood" to the "boomer shooter" list, although it's more of an immersive sim boomer shooter like Thief.

Modern games suck unless its

• Not Woken
• Resemble old school

@mrbojangles25: fun thing but dusk is reminscent of quake and has that graphics style.

But last year they published a total conversion called Dusk HD, which brings the graphics up to Half Life 1. Hehe

I love imsims so I already grabbed Gloomwood, plus I have a lot of faith in the two people playing it. But I won't play it until it's out 😅

Absolutely. And not the pretend kind like Ghost or game journos who don't like level design that involves walking in a straight line to get to the next emotional cutscene.

Very old-school, and it's really impressive.

Not really. I'm from that time, but I prefer playing new shit as I've played all my favorite shit a lot already. But since the industry is pretty fucking boring since the last 10 years or so, I've been going back to older games a lot.

So I'd like to enjoy modern gaming more than old school, but they're making it hard. It's just the few and far between modern games that I clutch onto until there's something else. I only get like one to three new games per year that I feel are worth it, as opposed to before when I couldn't even keep up with everything I wanted to play.

Both. I do agree with the folks here saying peak was around 2003-2013, but still find a lot to enjoy from before and after that. Even got into Fortnite for a few months.

Yep I prefer old school shooters. I never played Fortnite and don't care for it.

@outworld222: I play old games (007: Goldeneye, Banjo/Kazooie, Doom 3) to new games. (Space Marines 2, Black Myth: Wukong, TLOU2)

Been gamin' since 1982 and while I have a lot of nostalgia for old games, I tend to play modern games. But every now and then, I go retro. I recently played Ghouls'n'Ghosts on Arcade. Brutal stuff. Modern games are so much easier.

Old school gamer.

But not FPS fan.

I see it like: modern games are meant to be finished, retro games were not. They were meant to be played indefinitely.

@R4gn4r0k: Also, retro games were usually very short, so they had to be hard or you would complete them after 10 minutes. In theory, Ghouls'n'Ghosts could be completed in 20 minutes or so, if you didn't die a single time. But most gamers, if not all, had to practice for days/months before completing it.

As long as it's fun who cares?

@pmanden: Exactly, meanwhile a modern game like AC Valhalla is 120 hours (including all dlc) and it'll never present a roadblock to the player as the game's design is meant to be finished.

Funny as hell though, I think there's as many people in the world thar have finished G'n'G as there are people that completed AC Valhalla.

I still play inverted to this day due to hundreds/thousands of hours of Goldeneye 007.

I still play some older NES, SNES, and Gen games, but mostly new games these days. I'm about 40 to 60 percent through FF1 pixel remaster and have 2 ready to go when I'm done.

In high school I used to sneak into the accounting room and play doom on the one computer someone managed to download it on. We all ran cover for eachother on case the teacher showed up. I remember thinking the game was amazing... There was a cheat code for all the weapons too if I remember.

i used to play space quest on my dad's ibm 486 he brought home from work. it had leisure suit larry on it too but i could never answer the "prove your an adult" questions at the start to get in. i'm old school in that sense. i generally always have an older game on the go from the 90s or 2000s on pc to dip in and out of, but primarily play new games (new as in last 15 years)
