when the node pathing in a video game is so bad it turns into a memorable feature you think back on fondly

and only when you aren't actually playing, if you're actually playing morrowind today it's still "what the actual fuck"

Strongly considering checking this one out for $22. Indie games are all I can stomach these days and this has a great theme. 18th century ritual necromancy and social simulator with tactical combat.

Games used to be a hell of a lot more eternal when they were on cartridge or disc

Fuck this “has to be online to play single player games” bullshit

Ubisoft CEO is a dumbass, companies like EA and Valve release their old game code because it costs them nothing and once it's EoL the good press from doing so is actually worth some tangible amount more than just hoarding it, especially after you've already done like Game of the Year / Bundles..etc and squeezed every bit of cash out of it already.

Valve has released the source code for some of its older games and related tools on GitHub, including Half-Life 1 engine-based games and Source 1 games like Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike: Source

EA has released the source code for several classic Command & Conquer games on GitHub. These include the original Command & Conquer (also known as Tiberian Dawn), Red Alert, Renegade, and the Zero Hour expansion for Command & Conquer: Generals. Additionally, they've released code for the remastered collection of the first two games

more should do that, but the counterargument is "our customers are drug addicts who will keep buying our shit no matter how we treat them"

also if the old FPS game is free and people can host their own servers that means you actually have to do more than just release the same call of doody over and over and put forth effort in making a sequel that's good instead of just pulling the plug on the old game's servers to make people buy the new one

But if it’s Goldeneye vs mode, you know I’m taking Odd Job. You can even go ahead and use the golden gun. You’ll never hit my little ass

This is a good game.
