>Destiny 2 is going to have a fully licensed Star Wars expansion

ITS FUCKING REAL, WTF??

>The Destiny games, with their laser swords, hover bikes, and space wizards, have always been Kind of Star Wars. But Destiny 2 will go Full Unadulterated Star Wars later this year with a new, Lucasfilm-authorized expansion called Renegades. It literally has lightsabers and Darth Vader in it.

*inhales* HahahhahahahhahahahhHahahahahahahhahaHhahahaHHHhahahha
They have gone full fucking insane, starwars is a dead franchise in a dying pond. It's like betting on a lame horse with a lazy eye. These morons are flushing their money down the toilet even though they are bleeding money. This is definitely a scam, it probably benefits the suits and puts money in their pockets.

I remember being a wee lad back in 1999. We had just bought dialup from some new company that gave us a disk at an expo. Everyday after school,I would go to yahoo games and see what new flash games they were offering. Eventually I found some other websites and had a long list of flashgame destinations after a while.

I remember waking up very early in the morning on weekends so I could play starwars flash games on some website I can't remember the name of. I would just play untill mom woke up to make brekki. Everyone was still alive and well back then.God those were really comfy times, i miss it.

I used to love Star Wars too but that all ended the moment The Last Jedi dropped. Now I physically recoil with cringe every time I see anything Star Wars related. I saw this shit on the stream and I immediately stood up and walked away. Seeing people defend such blatant corporate greed just because their nostalgia boners are being tickled a little is truly disturbing.

As for starwars, disney tried its very best to kill the franchise, even going as far as adapting tumbler fanfics and hastily sketched fanmade comics in toilet stalls

It really was the era of games when you could ignore the main plot and play this whole second game slotted inside for no real reason other than 'the devs felt like it'. I get you, man. I loved that kind of stuff, too.

Ive been playing generals zero hour for well over two decades now, my favorite mod being contra. Rise of the reds is garbage though could never get into it.

Apart from that, ive been playing skyrim eversince launch, i dont really do anything in the game, i just walk around,camp,hunt and chill at a spot while i eat dinner.I mainly use it to unwind after work.

Also i play warcraft 3's campaigns one every 3 months,just for nostalgia.

I play a lot of Doom wads, especially total conversions. It's legitimately hard to get bored of Doom and all its possibilities. I also love other boomershooters like Blood and I revisit Postal 2 a lot. Other than that you can have endless fun with roguelikes like Shadow of the Wyrm and ADOM.

How are the imp warriors with shields in GMOTA like? I remember that some .wads used to use them back maybe 15-20 years ago, and I remember even using them myself in some old project when I was a teen, grabbed them right off of R667.

My main memory of them is that they do the same shield thing as the Ettins in Hexen, which I actually fucking hate.

I've been fuckin around with the slot 2 weapon for this guy. The idea here is what powers you have on the gun and whip alter how this merged weapon works. The gun determines what it fires, and the whip changes how the projectile behaves.

I'd suggest checking out ECM's record label. Has really cool people on it like Pat Metheny, Chick Corea (jazz fusion), and Steve Reich (classical minimalism not jazz, but still cool). You might have heard Last Train Home if you watched JoJo.

Yeah, I guess Morrowind's engine is a bit too limited for that. Maybe some day OpenMW will make it possible.

Which one's your favorite?

For me, it's Aria of Sorrow. I get why people would prefer SotN over it, but I like the focused, bite-sized nature of it more than SotN's kitchen sink.

(but really, every single one is a good game…except Legends)

CotM's extra modes are neat, but I burned out on them quick. It would be nice if you could pick which one you wanted out of all of them from the beginning instead of having to play through each version to unlock the next

I have mixed feelings about CotM. I loved it back in high school, I still have a fondness for it, but the last time I actually tried to play it I got to the bondage goat boss and was just…done. I didn't want to beat that boss, I didn't want to deal with the zombie dragons, I didn't want to deal with the waterway. I have no idea how I beat that game on an original GBA back in the day.

Really surprised there aren't more. Seems like a really obvious thing to add to increase replay value.

>>1680
>I didn't want to deal with the zombie dragons, I didn't want to deal with the waterway.
I died on the Zombie Dragons more than anything other than Drac. I thought I was just bad, but I guess it's a really common issue people have with the game. The waterway was pretty bad too. So many things hitting me from off screen. Actually didn't realize that I needed to go kill Death first, so I kept trying to make my way through the poison water. Thought there was an item I needed deeper in or something.
>I have no idea how I beat that game on an original GBA back in the day.
Isn't it extra hard on an original GBA because the palette is so dark?

>If only the card drops were more common.
There's a ROMhack that scatters the cards around the castle as treasure to find instead of random drops from arbitrary enemies. Kind of neat, it lets you get certain combos earlier than you would otherwise and withholds others for longer.

Yes. Yes, it is.

The Chapel was a nightmare. Bloody Swords are invisible on an OG GBA. I could only catch a glimpse of them by movement.

I usually played during lunch and one day I got kicked outside for some reason and I was astounded to find out the sprites had color.

And I had to beat Dracula by sound cues, but I think everyone did.

>The Chapel was a nightmare. Bloody Swords are invisible on an OG GBA. I could only catch a glimpse of them by movement.
I can't even imagine. The swords were bad enough as is. Never really found a good way to deal with them, so I'd eventually just try to run past them.
>And I had to beat Dracula by sound cues, but I think everyone did.
Tell me about it. I played it on my DSi, and I still had to do that. The phase where he starts rushing you is kind of bullshit and inconsistent. Had to spam the jump and wait for the sounds to end. Hoping he was done by the time I dropped down. Not to mention the random pattern he'd use to fly around after. I feel like random sums up CotM's enemies and bosses in general. I never want to farm a fallen angel again.
