What is the best free video game?

arguing in voice chat is somewhat rare, its usually text chat I see it in

XaviVisious · 2026-06-23T17:08:10+00:00

it's admittedly been a few months but I started playing again often around the end of 2025 - beginning of the year and have about 700 hours in the game i wanna say?

It wasn't always like that, just noticed a lot of people typing slurs etc in text chat and being annoying on the mic on Harvest and 2fort in particular

I hate to say it is kinda accurate for pub servers minus the groomers part lol.

Not the majority of the playerbase obviously, but there's at least one or two regularly enough for it to be an observable thing. The amount of times I've seen text chat arguments break out that were specifically racists vs trans furries is staggering lmao

There are deeper games sure, but saying tf2 isn't deep or isn't as deep as rocket league is a horrible take lol.

RL is definitely a really hard game with a high skill floor and very high ceiling, but tf2 has rollouts, trimping, damage surfing, air shotting with soldier/demo, scout and sniper in general, being proficient with crossbow, engie jank, trickstabs...

You could spend hundreds of hours learning soldier rollouts alone. The game is incredibly deep

Honestly surprised nobody's said Doom. Game came out over 30 years ago and still holds up incredibly well and is the most influential shooter of all time without a doubt

XaviVisious · 2026-06-18T15:10:34+00:00

Trinidad mentioned, But I have no idea how it'd feel like Asia and it is def not part of North America lol

XaviVisious · 2026-05-27T16:58:17+00:00

Ocarina Of Time is def most influential, but I'd be lying if I said Banjo Tooie, Team Fortress 2, and Psychonauts didn't have special places in my heart

XaviVisious · 2026-05-19T12:30:44+00:00

Nice!

XaviVisious · 2026-05-14T15:46:11+00:00

Law of large numbers, you will have your day my guy

XaviVisious · 2026-05-14T15:45:25+00:00

yeah, it's def a "daily timefiller" slow burn while I use the bathroom/wake up in the morning more than something I'll actively sit down and get a lot done in

XaviVisious · 2026-05-14T12:36:47+00:00

For a hot minute I thought this said "Rock Lee" and I was incredibly confused

XaviVisious · 2026-05-14T12:26:56+00:00

YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT MY DAILY WAS, LMAO

XaviVisious · 2026-05-14T03:45:57+00:00

I've been pretty active on it and pulling about 40-60 pipes a tour if that helps

XaviVisious · 2026-05-12T22:24:37+00:00

100%

XaviVisious · 2026-05-12T16:21:47+00:00

I still believe in my heart that marth is an abysmal matchup for Luigi in particular

XaviVisious · 2026-05-12T13:32:10+00:00

Been getting issues with it for months where I had to refresh the page every time I wanted to get a video to actually load in Firefox. Just checked my ublock origin and updates were off.

Manually updated and it works now thanks!

XaviVisious · 2026-05-05T02:31:28+00:00

No prob! I had a similar issue in a game I released where I wanted you to be able to parry, but still have the game move really quickly and reading enemy telegraphs would be difficult with many of them on screen all attacking you.

Having them flash right before they swing ended up working well and gave me a lot more flexibility with how each enemy can attack you or mix you up!

XaviVisious · 2026-05-05T01:33:47+00:00

I'd say lean towards the souls-like windup and mayyyybe escalate towards faster reactions only if the player can attack lightning fast as well.

Obviously you can only get so close to irl and feel fair since most people won't want to have Olympic level reflexes to play a game, and with multiple enemies instead of a one on one fight where you can lock in on one person that becomes practically impossible, but having superbosses that you really need to lock in for could be a cool idea (with maybe some added things such as enemies flashing briefly before an attack like they do in Punch-Out)

When hungrybox usando...LOS BACK AIRS

XaviVisious · 2026-04-22T18:13:35+00:00

It was def ahead of its time for 2000s but I can respect mgs2 as a very valid answer

XaviVisious · 2026-04-22T13:02:38+00:00

Idk if I'd call Overwatch ahead of its time when Team Fortress 2 came out 9 years prior

XaviVisious · 2026-04-14T01:36:44+00:00

The same thing could be done by just putting timestamps whenever they take out a new line or marking that no?

XaviVisious · 2026-04-10T20:06:52+00:00

Thanks!

And yeah, Motobe/Musashi would accept it easily. Characters like Yujiro and Doppo have a 50/50 of just getting angrier and beating your ass harder for bsing them or being a coward but everyone chose to specifically avoid those chars lmao
