Quake 3.
I played it almost daily during the PS3 era and would always return to it during that generation. As I said earlier, you think the game is a 'meh'. I am simply disagreeing with you and I was just being silly with the Battleforge and Faeria comparison (I thought it would be obvious since I repeated what you said word for word lol). You can insert Hearthstone in its place. My point was, I can just as easily dismiss something that you are interested in. And sure, the game isn't being played right now but that doesn't mean it was meh. You just missed out on it or it wasn't your type of game. Simple as.When was the last time you played Warhawk? The day the servers went offline? Did you play the game at all that year? Almost nobody did since there was nobody playing the game then. The game is just meh, if it were good people would play it. You got games which are quite old and are still played today, games like Final Fantasy XI were still played until 2016 on PS2 so your point about new ecosystems isn't true. And when it comes to Battleforge it wasn't janky at all, it is very clean and crisp game which is why it was used as a display piece in promotional material by Nvidia and EA for DX11 all the time, it looked phenomenal, especially effects like reflections in ice and haze. The only problem with Battleforge is that it was quite repetitive and after playing it for a few hundred hours there really wasn't much to do so I slowly stopped playing it.
Also, Battleforge is 2009 and Faeria is 2017...
edit: lol, I just checked, Faeria has around 90 people playing it. The revived Battleforge has way more than that.
If 100 people play a game it isn't because of me thinking it isn't good or not being "my type of game", it quite obviously demonstrates that it is nobody's type of game or that there are similar games which are just straight up better.I played it almost daily during the PS3 era and would always return to it during that generation.

You tried playing the game during the year they were shutting down the servers. Not to mention the developers had released a follow-up to the game set in a sci-fi universe which had similar gameplay with RTS elements (you could quickly drop buildings/turrets etc), so some people also moved on to that (I had). I think your logic is flawed in how you judge a game. During launch and the years after, there were plenty of people playing it. You just missed out on the game when it was at its best.If 100 people play a game it isn't because of me thinking it isn't good or not being "my type of game", it quite obviously demonstrates that it is nobody's type of game or that there are similar games which are just straight up better.

I don't think you would have liked it then either because based on your comments I just think it wasn't your type of game.
Sure other games came out afterwards but I would certainly welcome the series back if Sony decided to bring it forward and I hope they do.
There are still some people who are hanging on to Warhawk:
You can spin it however you want. The game was pure fun and had a variety of different ways you could play it.
Yes, Starhawk wasn't as popular as Warhawk. It didn't die in a month. And no. You clearly didn't invest a lot of time into Starhawk and/or Warhawk for that matter. I think YOU need to get over the fact that there are people who enjoyed Warhawk. The only thing you keep falling back on is why isn't there a community for it right now. It doesn't matter. Some games survive longer than expected after launch and when a new generation starts and others don't. It does not mean what you want it to mean.I played Starhawk, it died in a month. The singleplayer was ok, multiplayer was just people running over each other with bikes.
If Warhawk is "pure fun" why is nobody playing it? Football is pure fun which is why millions of people play it.
Also, 3 comments, really active sub reddit. The game is just dead and wasn't good, get over it.
That is my point, those don't exist, if they did they would play the game.I think YOU need to get over the fact that there are people who enjoyed Warhawk.
You're just...I don't even know what to say, lol. Hopefully there will be sequel to the game. I am just going to repeat what I said in my edit.That is my point, those don't exist, if they did they would play the game.
nopeI am just going to repeat what I said in my edit. You're just...I don't even know what to say, lol.
---> I am shocked that you are having such a hard time accepting the fact that a game can be fun and enjoyed by many people
Not surprised you responded with this lol. But you certainly did miss out on the game when it was popular. I never claimed it was a Fortnite btw.nope
I never said it was. The fact of the matter is that it never was popular to begin with, vast majority of players don't know the game because it was that niche, I only found out about it through GAF and it was sold at a small shop for a dollar so I gave it a shot, played it for a few days but it didn't keep me interested, I liked some of the aspects, it was basically budget 3rd person Battlefield but it just wasn't doing anything better than Battlefield.Not surprised you responded with this lol.

This and TF2 in the heydaySocom 2
I am sorry you missed out on the game and ended up spending money on it when it wasn't as popular. Better luck next time!I never said it was.

I got my dollars worth of fun. Like I said I played it for a few days. Played about 30+ matches. A bargain! Definitely played it more than Starhawk which I payed full price for.I am sorry you missed out on the game and ended up spending money on it when it wasn't as popular. Better luck next time!
Man, I remember playing it with MOVE, now that was insanity Very fond memories of that game for sure.
Still not the same as when it was popular.I got my dollars worth of fun. Like I said I played it for a few days. Played about 30+ matches. A bargain! Definitely played it more than Starhawk which I payed full price for.
That mus have been insane. I just wish they would reboot MAG and Socom with the power of PS5 and the built in controller microphone.Man, I remember playing it with MOVE, now that was insanity Very fond memories of that game for sure.
Nah, I played only the base captures with turrets and all vehicles. There were always two of those at least available. I even played the DLC maps with the large transports.Still not the same as when it was popular.
During the last year, specially before the servers were pulled, you could only join smaller team death-match type of servers.

Capture the flag was the best mode in my opinion and where I spent most of the time and they were usually on the full version of each map which was great.Nah, I played only the base captures with turrets and all vehicles.

Yeah, 100% agreed! I still have the original packaging for the game.Warhawk was such a fun PS3 game from 14 years ago. I remember using a proxy server trick to install the beta onto mine and my friends PS3 so we could play it before it launched. I bought it at launch and it came with a free Jabra Bluetooth headset!
Omg Ultima online. What an experience. I wish there could be a modern game with a philosophy similar to UO's beginning.Ultima Online by far. Best MMO in so many ways. A few relatively active fan run servers exist, but they can't replicate that true first run experience.
Warcraft 3 - Reforged helped up the player base, and the pro scene is as good as it's ever been. But still a far from the early 2000's when Frozen Throne first hit.
The first Black Ops and Bad Company 2 are my favorites in those franchises so seeing those back in action would be nice too.
I haven't played TimeSplitters (I don't think?) but I enjoyed the Resistance series despite the change they made to the game that made it closer to COD in terms of weapon you could carry etc. They did address that in the third by returning to the series roots. My favorite gun was the Bullseye.Resistance: Fall of Man
Which I’m told was similar to TimeSplitters.
There were 2-3 other Resistance games after the original, but they all came out after the Call of Duty: MW FPS revolution and they borrowed more from that than the original gameplay.
Final Fantasy XI
This was probably just Japanese Everquest, but it felt like an organic world. It could stand to gain a lot from modern MMOs, but not the theme-park structure that they all have.
I’m not sure what the perfect balance is between the convenience of instanced dungeons with preformed groups consisting of mostly similar but balanced classes and the sense of adventure from exploring open worlds with a group you set out from town with consisting of highly varied but delicately balanced classes...but I would give a lot of my time and money to anyone who could figure it out.
People forget how much that game brought the FPS forward from the mohaa formula~ both great MP games
Best MP experience from the Classic COD.
I enjoyed both the first, second and third but would rate the first and 3rd better overall compared to 2nd one. Also, I liked how they told the story in the first game.Killzone motha fuckin' 2 GOAT
Resistance Fall of Man/ Resistance 2, R3's story was aces, but the MP was a disaster....
