Sounds like you need to go play Shadow Warrior and Wolfenstein.

Watch a streamer play that. Was pretty bad. 100% twitch gameplay and the only weapon worth using was the rocket launcher as it 1 hit kill anyone near the explosion.

Unreal is in some kind of playable alpha right now, supposedly out before the end of the year, just wait for that.

That's the same reason I don't play modern FPS games. I challenge anyone to find me a FPS with the old-style physics of Quake or TFC. It doesn't exist. Why? Money.

There's a difference between wanting to make money, which those old games did, and making god heaps of money for your new ferrari garage and coke/whores collection. The former is being successful based on a truly good product; the latter is selling out by appeasing the masses.

Blizzard and most every FPS studio have sold out. Overwatch will be a FPS casual shitfest with purchased skins and hats to appease the Soccer Moms and SJW blue-haired transwhales.

Counter Strike: Global Offensive is both difficult and popular.

*edit: and makes a shit-ton of money.

Remember when you bitched out Valve for making TF2 a cartoony game for casuals rather then aiming it exclusively at the conc-jumping bunnyhoppers and said it would never work? Good times, man, good times.

Dumar doesn't like any game made past the year 2000 ;p

To be fair, it initially sold as basically free in the orange box that everyone bought for the other 2 games.

It would not have stood alone as a shipping product at the time.

Selling hats was a model they came up with later on.

Everyone bought it for HL2E2, Portal was "sorry it took so long" and TF2 was "oh well, it's finally here"

And the funny thing is - in retrospect Ep 2. was the weakest game in the box.

I don't know, defending Alyx with Vortigaunts and the final fight still hold up really well, in no small part thanks to the soundtrack, but the rest definitely had more impact on the gaming scene as a whole. So many cartoony shooters and indie games playing with physics, but almost none can match the originals.

I'm still not sure why I care about future-Czechoslovakia.

Zaphid · Mar 8, 2015

You are probably confusing it with present day Ukraine

I'm sorry where is the ocean level set if Half Life 2 is set in Czechoslovakia? It's probably one of the Baltic States, Ukraine or Russia.

You confusing popularity with quality? I played the shit out of TF and TFC, didnt play the shit out of TF2.

Grenade launcher, lightning gun, railgun, rocket launcher and plasma/shotty when you're behind.
