skillzdadirecta Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Doesn't matter what genre or even era, name some games that you just enjoy the "feel" of. Here's a few of mine off the top of my head in no order... just gonna name them as they come to me. SEKIRO ELDEN RING GOD OF WAR (2018)(2022) AVENGERS GOTHAM KNIGHTS THE ARKHAM SERIES SPIDERMAN/MILES MORALES DRAGON'S DOGMA DARK SOULS STREETFIGHTER HADES COMMANDO GHOSTS OF TSUSHIMA HALO/HALO REACH/HALO INFINITE DESTINY MAXIMO I'll add more as I think of them.

Brian Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Vanquish and Bulletstorm are two games that I really liked from a gameplay perspective but nothing else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best3444 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 GoW Ragnarok atm. Combat is probably the best in a videogame. COD Modern Warfarwe 2007 (Online only) Mario Galaxy Ocarina of Time Spiderman/Miles Elden Ring Halo Infinite Mario 64 There's plenty more. My mind is foggy. Just got up. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! 🎅 🎄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Yeah FROMSOFT games, Dragon's Dogma, and Halo 1-3 for sure. DOOM Eternal is the best and most fun FPS title to the point where it is near flawless. Story is a huge step back from 2018 tho. Star Fox 64 and Mario 64 are just fun to play even to this day. Oh and I love gears for the gnasher heavy gameplay in MP and Single-Player mode got better with every installment. Tales of games are good. Dead Space, RE4, BFBC1/2, and while I am not good at them the Guitar Hero and Rock Band games. Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 I'm split on nu-GoW. It is pretty good, but at times I can't help but feel that the difficulty options hold the game back. Boss Fights still need some work too.

The PS2 version had worse graphics and longer load times. They only thing it had going for it was the new content. I mean, sure, the Wii Version was by far the most fun with the new aiming, imo, but the GC version was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 GoldenEye Super Mario Bros 3 Batman Arkham Series (City being my fav) Halo Series Ratchet and Clank Series (Tools of Destruction being my fav) Burnout (crash mode) TitanFall 2 THPS2/3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclyp Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Tony Hawk 3 and all following games that used that template (need the revert). Sucker for the From series. Mario 3 NCAA 06 NBA Street 2 Weird pull but Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 (PS2) Unreal Tourney (3 was my game of choice) Rogue Legacy Ones that came to mind 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy4000 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Star Fox 64 is my first vote. Even the slowdown feels good as you wreck shit. Hades is my second. Absolute perfection. It’s my point of comparison to every other top down or isometric character action game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan of the turn around jump either, too pole vault-like. 6 hours ago, silentbob said: GoldenEye I’m a defender, but definitely not to me. It would be fun to see a modern game where you move faster when staffing though. We got close with Fallout 76, where you once moved faster looking at the ground.

I watched a guide that moved the dash button to one of the triggers, but could never get used to it. Like Metroid Dread, I kinda feel like it uses too many buttons for its own good. Also like Dread, it feels fantastic regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzzzle Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 To me, nothing beats Mario games from a sheer gameplay perspective. It never gets boring, it's easy to understand but hard to master, you can binge it or just play in bite-sized chunks, they're all fucking great. Also Stardew Valley. Also The Sims. I wish another company would take a crack at doing something like The Sims, because EA is the only one doing it and it's been a buggy mess for a decade.
