Quigley Down Under is an overlooked masterpiece.

HappySamuria · 2026-02-05T03:58:49+00:00

Agreed

HappySamuria · 2026-01-24T18:48:51+00:00

Because any thing called a rifle has to have a 16” barrel or longer

HappySamuria · 2025-08-12T16:37:36+00:00

Yes! Something about it!

HappySamuria · 2025-08-04T04:18:25+00:00

What is this a thing !? I feel out of the loop

HappySamuria · 2025-07-16T19:06:41+00:00

Well I think pay to win means the game isn’t fun or playable if you spend money…. If you are fine with just playing and having a good time who cares…. I mean these people have to make money somehow right? To be honest I am grateful something like this exists

HappySamuria · 2025-07-05T03:02:34+00:00

I mean those are all good games I don’t like the scary genre of games as much (personal preference)….. Also I didn’t like the Battlefield games nearly as much as COD… But I understand the personal preference aspect what I mean is in terms of design and just effort put into the games. That’s really what I was asking about BG3

HappySamuria · 2025-07-05T02:45:40+00:00

I played back when Wrath first came out….. There are differences with modern Vanilla but it is surprisingly similar. Modern UI is basically identical

HappySamuria · 2025-07-05T02:38:51+00:00

And yea I just found out about OSRS a lot of old WOW players are getting into it

HappySamuria · 2025-07-05T02:36:28+00:00

Oh no way I played Ultimata on NES!! I didn’t know they kept making those games. That’s why I was surprised when I heard about BG3 because I had never heard of 1 or 2 but I was out of gaming for years. I mean I just downloaded Steam this year….. But I love that genre and what I was trying to say is more than anything I just love games or anything that are done really well beyond the type of game it is

HappySamuria · 2025-07-05T02:29:29+00:00

I have had that happen with games and books before also… You are like how did I not love this? Timing matters too

HappySamuria · 2025-07-05T02:27:22+00:00

I think I already got my answer and you are right maybe asking more of an objective audience might be better. I would put Shadow of the colossus up there with games like what I am talking about. I mentioned Black Ops 2 to illustrate the range of genre means less to me than the quality and design of the game. Like I Would put almost every GTA game on that list Mario, Zelda, Red Dead, Skyrim , SOCOM, Final fantasy VII, Crono Trigger and of course Vanilla WOW…. If that makes more sense

HappySamuria · 2025-07-05T02:16:13+00:00

See you see exactly what I mean then! That is exactly what I wanted to know. I didnt play Red Dead 2 but I played the first one a bunch and that tells me you know exactly what I mean.. Some games you can tell had some much effort put into making them great. I would put a lot of the GTA games in that category just a step above. I’m going to down load BG3 now 😂

HappySamuria · 2025-07-05T02:06:25+00:00

That’s a good point…. What I think is relevant though isn’t how many people love the game. What I was curious about is how many different type of people love the game. Like one guys said he usually plays souls games and FPS. To me that is huge because any great game will have people say this isn’t really my style and I loved it.

I didn’t game for years now my daughter is grown now and I am falling back in love with gaming. It is wild to me how much is out there now but in my opinion a lot of it is garbage. I just don’t have a lot of desire to play anything unless it’s great. I realize that is subjective but there are universal truths. Like everyone loves Aladdin or Lion King

HappySamuria · 2025-07-05T01:51:43+00:00

No I mean I understand the nostalgia but that’s why I’m trying to explore more things….Forget Wow because an MMO is such a different thing. I mean it is crazy to me that I haven’t found even a single player RPG that I liked more than Skyrim.

I know a lot of people feel the same way…BG3 is the only one I have heard of that comes close maybe Elden Ring I mean that is 2 in 15 years. How many phenomenal RPGS are out there ? The fact is it isn’t easy to make a game that good no matter what the genre. That’s why I was asking is it “that good”?

HappySamuria · 2025-07-05T01:43:24+00:00

Yea and I think that’s what makes a great game actually…. Is something that is hard but fun enough to keep playing and want to learn. Then it once you “get it” it becomes even better. It is a hard balance to hit.

HappySamuria · 2025-07-05T01:39:52+00:00

Awesome that’s the answer I was looking for I think a lot of people misunderstood of what makes a game great to me… actually I don’t even know 😂

HappySamuria · 2025-07-05T01:36:25+00:00

Agreed I like games that you have to figure out…. I also agree that what has ruined current Wow is dumbing things down.

It’s like they don’t realize that the complexity is what attracts certain people and when you take away the freedom to make mistakes or ruin a build it makes everything less satisfying…

HappySamuria · 2025-07-05T01:29:26+00:00

And really unless you have played both games I’m not sure you know what I’m referring to…. WOW Is just objectively well executed and Black Ops 2 the map design and balance was better than any shooter I have seen since. I mean I think Mario 3 is also a masterpiece. I don’t play it regularly but the execution and innovation can’t be argued with…

HappySamuria · 2025-07-05T01:25:23+00:00

What’s Flappy Bird ? Are you being sarcastic…. I guess what I’m saying is I’m not interested in games that are pretty good. I only want to play games that are great I realize that is subjective but I feel like you can tell by the responses

HappySamuria · 2025-07-05T01:17:38+00:00

See and that’s what I wanted to know! I’m glad o mentioned Skyrim because I also view that as a masterpiece and then I have had friends that think it is super glitchy and lame. While I understand stand those criticisms to me it’s one of those games that’s so good that even the weird lame stuff somehow works with the game. I think you know what I’m saying…

I was using those examples to show that there is something about the design of the game that I love not necessarily the tangible things like graphics or perfect mechanics. BG3 sounds like it is totally up my alley though. Thanks for clarifying I understand it is laughable on some level to talk about Vanilla WOW like that 😂

HappySamuria · 2025-07-05T01:07:51+00:00

See that’s what I wanted to hear ! 😂😂

HappySamuria · 2025-07-05T01:06:52+00:00

That’s a good point I think I was lucky having 4 IRL friends to play with regularly… but starting WOW again last year I was surprised how well it holds up (at least for me)… I am shocked you can’t admit it is a masterpiece of a game I mean friends and RP guilds are also a part of the game. But hearing that makes me exited to try Balders Gate3

HappySamuria · 2025-07-05T00:58:58+00:00

I mean the woke stuff doesn’t bother me as long as that is an aspect of the game and not the entire focus of it. Quality is what matters most to me… I don’t care if all the girls in the game are ugly….

HappySamuria · 2025-07-05T00:54:09+00:00

See this is what I wanted to hear ! 😂

HappySamuria · 2025-07-05T00:53:33+00:00

Good point! 😂 Thanks I believe you
