Date: January 4th, 2026 11:57 AM Author: mustard at-the-ready indirect expression foreskin COD has a well-Engineered gameplay loop, or it did in the 2000s. running, aiming down sights, Upgrading, bombing 12 year old Scumbags, etc. But I question the life decisions of Scumbags with 20 years of buying the Same Game every year with body counts in the hundreds of thousands or millions
Halo always felt kind of boring imo. never owned it but played couch multiplayer. It was probably no better than Timesplitters or something. Seemed worse than Unreal Tournament. Btw Unreal Championship for Xbox features a Norwood 3 guy bc that's aspirational for Xbox players: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/91/Unrealchampionshipcover.jpg
imo when something slowly gets less popular it's proof that it was always mainly just hype. Examples: Halo, Metroid Prime, grunge. On the other hand, stuff like Counter-Strike, Zelda, and non-Gen X music has more staying power. |

COD4 was revolutionary for its time, IMO. Simply incredible experience on Xbox 360 |

Date: January 4th, 2026 12:11 PM Author: mustard at-the-ready indirect expression foreskin F-Zero is a good game. I played 99 a few times. I think F-zero 99 and Tetris 99 both do SBMM. So as soon as you start getting good it slots you in with better people. I've scored 2nd in both. But when I realized what was happening I stopped caring.
I never saw the point in the 3D F-Zeroes but ymmv.
Idk COD3 had the same stuff going on, aiming down the sights and stuff. which I don't remember seeing in any game before MGS2. So maybe Kojima deserves credit if anyone. But COD4 was the first one to be popular with Console Scum. |

Date: January 4th, 2026 12:28 PM Author: mustard at-the-ready indirect expression foreskin Remember when Perfect Dark came out and no one wanted to play it irl despite years of hype? Timesplitters was also popular online but not irl at all. Maybe the Loseriest irl Losers played it irl with 4 Gamecube controllers.
Meanwhile Halo was popular and like the last hurrah for couch multiplayer. no cheaters h4xing you. no lag. no 12 year olds on opiates yelling nigger. no skill based matchmaking keeping you on the treadmill. just the fun of pwning your Loser friends. so even though it wasn't my thing I still respect it. |

Date: January 4th, 2026 12:31 PM Author: contagious coldplay fan brunch it was superior to Golden Eye. Shame they couldn't cop that James Bond license for it (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5816749&forum_id=2#49561522) |

Date: January 4th, 2026 12:33 PM Author: mustard at-the-ready indirect expression foreskin they didn't want it. they wanted to make a woke game. the first game featuring a Woman with a questionable phenotype (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5816749&forum_id=2#49561528) |

Date: January 4th, 2026 12:32 PM Author: mustard at-the-ready indirect expression foreskin A lot of redditors insist that "Perfect Dark for multiplayer, Goldeneye for single player." idk, a lot of people think PD runs out of steam towards the end but I enjoyed the Alien shit.
Fact remains that people wouldn't play it irl, they'd do Goldeneye or some other shit. you also had System Link to complete with in the higher income brackets. Dreamcast was also out, PS2 on its way.
buddy of mine (Brayden), his dad saw him playing in 2000 and was like "what is this game, you play as a bitch and the president is a nigger..." |

Date: January 4th, 2026 12:30 PM Author: contagious coldplay fan brunch I actually loved Timesplitters 2. It was amazing. However, none of my roommates would ever play it with me on my Gamecube. We mostly played Mario Kart and Tiger Woods golf (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5816749&forum_id=2#49561521) |
