I crave the certainty of PLASTIC

MGS1 is my favorite of the series and is one of my favorite stories in gaming. It's an incredibly mature story for all the wackiness thats still in it. The music is perfection. The performances are incredible. The characters are great. I love everything about this game. I think, somehow, the low poly graphics and textures adds a lot to the realism and grittiness of the game, despite being fairly arcady in gameplay. At this point in the story, almost everything that happens in it is believable, other than the supernatural parts (which are, in this game, actual supernatural powers, which adds a whole new layer of mystery!) I HATE how over explained everything became in MGS4 and MGS5, (and to some extent, mgs3 even.) I think MGS4 kind of ruined the series for me, even though mgs4 has my favorite gameplay. MGS5 just felt like a Ubisoft collectathon game to me, and vocal parasites can lick my ass with how dumb it is. It has good moments, but it feels rather aimless compared to MGS1-3.
1 has the most serious tone, but still has some goofiness and arcadiness that really meshes well with the story and visuals somehow. 2 and 3 stayed strong with the story, both being more goofy, but also having deeper meanings and plots. I like 1-3 a lot, and even 4 is a fun romp, but 5 just could not hold me. Ground Zeros was great! But Phantom Pain is just a slog for me.
Some good old classic Counter Strike. Lot more fun when its just you and people you know imo.
Crab Games is a fun parody of squid games. And its free!
Perfect Heist 2 is really fun, but idk if the games are large enough for 15 people.
Doom 3 is my favorite one to play when there's combat and its had some tweaks to the gunplay (like fixing the god-awful shotgun spread to be more normal, greatly reducing ammo amounts, and increasing armor effectiveness,) but if i want a really fun experience, I tend to do Doom 2, or Plutonia. The newer doom games don't have enough mobs spawning in, and a lot of the levels just feel like combat arenas, (less so in Eternal) instead of places to explore. I think a lot of people overlook the exploration of the og doom games and 3. I liked how demons could roam the halls in Doom 1 and 2, and it really made the levels feel a bit more sandboxy imo. Not to say Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal are bad games, certainly not! It's just a lot easier for me to sit down and play a few levels of doom 1 or 2 for 30 minutes or an hour, instead of getting invested in complex, more intense gameplay.
Doom 1 and 2 typically relieve stress, though can be challenging, while in doom 2016 and eternal, i feel overwhelmed sometimes and kinda have a bad time cuz I need to focus too much, constantly switching weapons and whatnot. Sometimes i just wanna mow down a horde of zombiemen and imps with a chaingun or ssg.
I never got the chance! That sounds very cool though! Do the Arcos show up in sim copter?
Simcity 2000. I am a huge fan of Blade Runner and Simcity 2K has a very Blade Runner esque soundtrack and I'm LOVING it. I never picked up on the Blade Runner aesthetics in SC2K until recently, particularly after watching the movie for the most recent time. Sure, I played it as a kid, but I didn't watch Blade Runner till i was an adult, so revisiting it now made it very fun. I made a cyberpunk city with high crime, a large focus on commercial zones, and building only the Plymoth and Draco super buildings.
I just wanna see more warp/chaos stuff tbh.
Event Horizon but I feel that it would be a lot more in your face horror if they made it today.
Moreso about his crippling fear of aliens, but Joel Vinesauce has some utterly bizarre and nuts segments. His Voices of the Void stuff is hilarious and his paralyzing fear makes him super entertaining. He also does weird youtube video nights where he watches creepy youtube videos.
That goat is a red spy!
Truly the Bethesda of operating systems.
I have two and i would have to flip a coin.
1: Make a First Person Investigative Horror game with Xcom style mechanics. You travel all around the world investigating anomolies, recovering artifacts, and occasionally have action levels where you have to eliminate a cult or something like that. I'd like to use a Call of Cthulhu style stat system with some changes, where you never really increase your base stats, but your skills can increase. I'd want cybernetic enhancements to allow for actual increases to survivability and combat. Idk, I think it would be really awesome.
2: I want to make a space game like Elite Dangerous but with the ability to use RTS elements to make empires. Somethin like Mount and Blade with X4 and Eve Online, but with the actual scale of ED. Landing on a planet and taking a settlement to gain some control, buiding fleets and stations to solidify that control, negotiating with other empires and factions, and building armies for ground invasions on highly populated worlds. I just really want to start out with like a single ship or a tiny middle of nowhere station or settlement and grow a huge empire from it. And like early on, you would have stuff you think is powerful, but then you encounter actual military ships and they wipe the floor with you, so have to do more hit and run tactics before facing them head on. And maybe empires could have different tech levels, so a pirate gang has mostly civi ships with guns while a small size democracy has medium tech military units with some civi support ships and autocratic empires have huge capital ships, capable of glassing planets. And later on, you start getting attacked by things from the deep void like Reavers from Firefly and later Chaos demons from Warhammer. Maybe you know the Chaos demons exist and you need to build a powerful empire if you have any chance to survive.
And ship interiors, at least like X4.
