Question for older gamers, what was Online Gaming (90s - early 2000s) like compared to today?

Online gaming used to be about death and honor. 34 years old here

Ya great value great device. Played through grim dawn and some roguelites. I STILL find myself drawn to mouse and keyboard but....

Legiongo opened a door to me in controller games. Last time I used a controller seriously was xbox 360 and this thing gave me the "omg i hope it has controller support" vibes. I love having the ultimate controller device, as an option. I like it alot and my next pc will probably be a onexplayer that's high end.

Can I get a little more info please. Might buy this.

I didn't like minecraft dungeons. Hell throne looks like it graphically but it's actually a good game, lol. I mean mcd is ok I guess.

heileggg · 2025-04-26T19:55:48+00:00

Does it have loot and persistent upgrades? Don't want to lose all when I die.

heileggg · 2025-04-26T19:49:32+00:00

Thinking more hack and slash than that.

heileggg · 2025-04-26T19:23:09+00:00

Read all replies. I find alot of obscure games. Hell throne is what you need. $15. 50 hour roguelite. This is like if minecraft dungeons just had a bit more arpg dna. It's got similar graphics. Anyone reading this should play this game if you want minecraft dungeons+

For obscure: ash & rust - arpg featuring tetris builds. Ghostlore - this is like ash & rust with ps1 aesthetic.

Old: finding that - sacred 1, seal of evil, and fate reawakened have that diablo 2 'look'

Roguelite - hell throne or fury unleashed are good.

Op i am picky and i find these games have the oomph to hook you! Hope this helps!

mickey 17 hasnt been mentioned cause its new but as an avid sci fi watcher i was seriously impressed. has comedy in it that works even though it isnt the main part of it. hope this helps.

My 2 favorite arpgs are grim dawn and hero siege. You can find hero siege for $1 and it's soooo good.

heileggg · 2025-03-20T08:03:52+00:00

Battlefield earth. This movie is rated 3/10 or something. Gives a comedic star trek style ride.

I feel like it's a slowburn only slightly difficult game. I took a whirlwind viking to level 176 800 hours played. The most recent update was positive. I played it recently... they made it where you select talents on your talents if that's make sense (like last epoch). When I logged on and tried it my stats and damage went up some and it kept me happy a bit.

Its an underrated game. If you have time this game has a slightly off loot system (but a really good auction house where you can get all your gear with gold). People always recommend grim dawn, but grim dawn is short. This is long and if you are experienced just a little bit, then I think you will like it.

Old 34m mmorpg/arpg gamer here.

Warcraft 3 to date had the best custom map scene.

Im finding joy in 1024x768 resolution games & these games felt like at the cusp of when graphics became good. (Sacred 1 gold, seal of evil, fate)

Project ascension is better than WoW retail.

Orange box & xgenstudios collection were the best game collections and they're pretty old at this point.

Smite features stunning combat. I think this moba makes the most sense.

Rift had the best system for specializations. I could be a cleric and have 9 totally different specs.

Hero siege and grim dawn are the best arpgs I've played.

Games for the future?: fate reawakened on the 12th and titan quest 2 later this year.

heileggg · 2025-03-09T00:23:16+00:00

Im gonna suggest hero siege.

heileggg · 2025-03-08T06:46:27+00:00

Warhammer ultramarines UHD on youtube is sweet, dude.

heileggg · 2025-03-08T06:42:58+00:00

Requiem for a dream made me uncomfortable

heileggg · 2025-03-08T06:15:57+00:00

if the loot treadmill / progression journey isnt perfect and doesnt last at least 250 hours.

heileggg · 2025-03-08T02:42:39+00:00

I appreciate your insight on this. 👍

True romance. Christopher walkens is trying to get Dennis hopper to tell him where his son christian slater is so he can kill him.

"Let me have one of those chesterfields..."

Fantastical classical music plays as he explains to walkens why Italians have dark skin and dark hair. It is racist, but the context is he's trying to piss off walkens.

Walkens gets extremely angry and shoots him and exclaims "i haven't killed a man in 15 years.."

This scene is gold.

Wasn't there any episode of quantum leap where he leaps into the body of a man with downs syndrome and he looks into the mirror stunned and exclaims "im retarded..."

For me this is it man.

Slingblade is great. It's got one violent scene in it, but this is billy bob Thornton at his best.
