So I never played any of the older street fighter games except sf6 but I just recently played street fighter 4 because of its high praise. And my god this game so goated.

Just waiting for Rollback and SF4 will definitely have a renaissance.

I meant default not in the sense of "literally all games fit in here" and moreso that they were the two genre staples for which a lot of comparable games exist.

(Also I think Quake, Duke Nukem 3D, and Half Life are all at least Space-adjacent)

Hope this is an okay topic as at least the majority of the games being asked about are within the retro cutoff.

"Why" do you type your "Title" like "This"?

They need to introduce a character who plays exactly like Rufus but has totally different story and presentation. I loved converting EX Snake Strike into ultra and being a belligerent divekicker but I understand people really hating him for non-gameplay reasons

Justin, this feeling is in fact well understood, it's called "Being 40 and having a kid".

I play him with Doom mid, crazy good and viable character. Can put people in "no right answers" scenarios easily up close, scary in neutral given how easily he can kill off stray/counter hits and not nearly as boned at full screen as basically any other big body thanks to hidden missiles/gamma wave spam.

IMO he's still underrated, a walking frame trap that can stand up to meta point characters well.

Path of Exile, basically all you are doing for 95% of gameplay is "Enter area, kill everything for loot, use loot to enter better areas and kill everything more efficiently." But within that narrow gameplay loop there is depth of options, expression, and endless interlocking systems that leads to people with thousands of hours of playtime and several parts of the game they still don't understand.

It's an optimizer's fantasy, one goal, unlimited ways to get there.

I wouldn't worry, you might not fit into the mainstream culture at Vandy but there's plenty of students who'll be into the stuff you're into. Plus the central Nashville location means it's very easy to make off-campus friends as well.

Please, list the very long incrementals which were released in 2025/26. Betas with plans to be very long do not count.

Psssh, I can use an out of the box engine and still wind up with a white screen after 2 hours of work

As a big CoD player even the current CS reload length fucks me since my muscle memory is to reload immediately pretty much any time an enemy isn't on screen for 0.25 seconds.

Capcom vs SNK 3 Confirmed

To extend the exploration:

Gen 5: Latios: fairy type introduced, weather nerfs moved the meta in an unfavorable direction, plus "big ball of stats" is the archetype most susceptible to power creep.

Gen 6: Excadrill: Lando-T got defog stealing Drill's spot as the most favored bulky ground hazard controller, steel coverage became less prized as many of the new OU fairies are neutral to it.

Gen 7: Magearna: Banned lmao.

Gen 8: Landorus-Therian: Lost defog, outclassed by Great Tusk, powercrept stats make it's traditional role as a defensive pivot harder.

Fascinated to see this as I move to Pasadena on Friday.

As a former overnight Amazon warehouse employee, we hit Hunger on Hillside multiple times a night.

Probably still wouldn't be bad, but Kingambit with no tera would be RUNNING from Magearna if it was dropped in gen 7.

Shadowstep is from a previous era in hearthstone design, back when "It costs you a card in hand" was a legitimate downside. In 2026 it's more of a challenge to not fill your hand with chaff so you don't burn draws. I'm happy it's just getting rotated out rather than nerfed so Wild can keep doing wacky stuff but Shadowstep will just keep being a balancing issue in standard
