And remember when being online and connected to the servers wasn't needed to play single player? Now, once a game's servers shut down, the game will be useless, and you'll never be able to play it again, it would seem, because games won't even start if you're not connected to the internet. Buying a game now is just renting it until the makers of the game take their ball and go home with it. I want my non-online single player experiences back!

"Arena" shooters are alive and well: people still play Team Fortress 2 and Quake 3. Nothing better has been made since for some reason. RTS and TBS also deserve love. HoMM3 have a great surge of popularity in the recent years because its a great game and there is nothing like it. In RTS people a lot of people still play StarCraft2 despite its numerous flaws and abandonment by the devs since no good game was made in this genre since. Regarding mini-games - missed opportunity to mention Alley Cat.

@digitaldeathsquid3448 2 жыл бұрын

Certain RTS titles are making a comeback - just look at the recent release of Command & Conquer Remastered. If not that, thriving modding communities have sprung up around genre mainstays (like the aforementioned C&C or Dawn Of War 1) to keep the games alive after their abandonment. TBS games, particularly 4X titles, also seem to have devoted audiences if the popularity of things like Stellaris or the excitement of the up-and-coming Dune: Spice Wars is anything to go by.

Every so often a random person would join in for a bit, with my grandfather also trying for a bit, but otherwise I mostly did it solo. I think someone had joined for the final boss fight, but either way beating it felt SO FREAKING GOOD! The ending itself was pretty amazing too, I still think about some of the lines from it. Still one of my favorite things from that place. I remembered a few others while typing this which I enjoyed too, but Ocean Hunter sticks out as the only one I beat on account of being really persistent and a bit better at games (and having a lotta tokens to spend lol). in short, light gun good

We definitely don’t have the classic Sierra and ICOM games where one false move kills your character, and the game mocks your foolishness.
