    Looove Dues Ex. I just looked up The Neverhood, and it looks so interesting. Definitely going to need to watch a long play of that.

    I used to play one of those demo disc games where you get to fly an aircraft and do missiona, but back then i had bo clue what the mission was i was just happy being able to fly.

    I never stopped playing games, i was always taught that you can’t pilot when you’re colorblind so i was convinced video games would allow me to do things real life would never let me.

    Skyrim really caught me and after that cyberpunk took it’s place, i just love being rewarded for your work and getting to do cool shit with that money.

    Real life barely feels like you’re being rewarded anymore imo.

    I dont’t think I’ve ever played an eidos game that actually worked and ran out of the box. Such a bad experience.

    FF7 was hot garbage

    Ahh the paperboard case for Deus Ex. That brings back some memories. It’s amazing that it is in such good condition.

    Bungie’s Oni was really good for the era. Right before halo and when they were still releasing games for Mac. Think I still have that disc in storage somewhere alongside my Mac copy of Halo CE.

      It was one of the early games I got for the PS2.

      I didn’t really like it tbh. Ammo was way too sparse. Don’t think I ever finished it.

        Or, Angel Studios became Rockstar San Diego and they made Red Dead Revolver instead.

        But I admire your hate version.

          Rockstar is pretty shitty to devs, but okay, the Midtown Madness devs did have a glow up because they were under new management

          I just recenly learned about Oni 2s leaked prototype existence and I’m salty that they piecemealed that IP into oblivion… HOWEVER…Oni’s engine would become the RAGE engine that powers and gave life to GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption, GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 (…and perhaps GTA VI…?)

            That’s interesting, I didn’t know it was the basis for the Rage engine. Thanks.

        Boo rockstar. That game’s mechanics were some of the most fun I ever experienced. It was absolutely crying out for a sequel.

      I absolutely loved Oni. I didn’t own a copy for a while but I’d play it round a friends house once a week… Those fighting mechanics just felt so tight (for the time) and the gun play was weighty and responsive.

      Shame to hear about the fate of Oni 2 from here, I had no idea
