These are just four games that shaped and moved the entire industry and every platform, not just pc or just consoles - and they all came in 1998. Thats besides the worldwide gamedesign shift if produced with its sheer briliance as a game. Steam and everything that encompases today, everything that it means for gaming today, comes from the PC game Half Life from 1998. Unreal comes out and gives the unreal engine to the world - think about it, every single unreal engine game ever made, the entire market that exists today, its all thanks to this PC game from 1998. Rainbow Six and Delta Force lays the foundation for the tactical genre. Shadows, light, sound - the game nailed everything from the first try, while being the first - with no blueprint. Thief created the modern stealth genre that every stealth game or game with stealth elements to this very moment picked and used. Half Life-s dna is in everything from Resident Evil 4, to Uncharted to Call of Duty. Half Life for example split the gaming world into games before HL and games after HL. Genres were forged or reinvented that year that we follow to this day. Kinda true, but PC gaming in 1998 stands alone in the entire history of gaming. Make your way to the village to the NW following this trail that connects with a road." At least with this, you are now playing and are freeing to figure shit out on your own at a pace of your choosing. Nothing is more basic than "Welcome to Morrowind. It's the same way with a game like Elden Ring when I start leveling up for the first time - how the fug am I supposed to know which stats to boost without a little nudge to let me know how not to fug up my new character? And imagine leveling up 3 or 4 times and then being presented with a damn skill tree with separate distinct trees of skills all within the first hour and not having a clue WTH you should do?

I don't even like customizing my character's appearance before starting a new game, especially if I don't know all the ramifications of my decisions before I make them. I don't like anything that begins in an overly complicated fashion. there's no quest log, no list of quests to click on and open, no quest markers on a map, no fast travel option). You will find with these games that they are not overly complicated to start but you will have to make notes on where you are going and what you need to be looking for in order to progress through the game (ie. I was cutting my teeth on games like BattleTech and MegaTraveller.

I've been playing cRPGs as far back as the very early '90s. It's like if you don't know what you're doing in a modern game you're not going to have fun until you figure it out first, sadly.Ĭlick to expand.I'm a long time PC player. Is it nostalgia? Yes, but for me those games are still a lot of fun today whereas a lot of new games today are not as fun or they require more learning before the fun can be discovered. Graphical fidelity went up but a lot of novelty evaporated.ġ997 was just packed with lots of new experiences, new kinds of games, and everyone was still figuring out all the new stuff they could do with 3D. It's not a great time in gaming to me even with Nintendo finding new life via the DS and Wii as it marked a change in strategies that we see across the market and not just with Nintendo - it's as though suddenly everything became about costs rather than pushing the boundaries of what we can do. The market, in general, was struggling with spiraling development costs and particularly the AA development studios were going under or being bought out by hungry publishers like EA. Competition among baseball titles was also drying up. Madden became the only football game in town.

EA was swallowing up companies left and right. The problem for me is that 2007 was a major downturn for me or during the big downturn.
