DooM.. then straigth to Quake 2, Action Quake and Quake 3. then i stopped playing online. did a little Unreal Tournement for a while. 36 years old now. cant play this stuff anymore. i hate being killed over and over again just to respawn and do it again. 10 years of respawning does that to you. im getting old. i only play single player games now. at my phase. Fallout 4, Hitman 2016, Farcry 3 and 4, Borderlands 2. open world games are the best ..charackter building. like Fallout 4.. you fight. build ourself up and also a home.. or a town and people with you. open world Single player games with a story. take the Fallout 4 Engine and make a story. roaming the earth for what ever reason and you got yourself a good game.. Like Skyrim.. you can live in the past.. or the fallen future (Fallout 4) - just being the long living hero. not fucking respawning every minute :/ ..but i Have always have a good computer ready for what ever games are out there. I7 5820K @ 4.4 Ghz, Gtx 1070 and a 24" 144 Monitor. play at 1080p and never use AA. 100+ FPS. an old FPS player never goes back. i want Ultra setting at all games or i dont play them. but never use AA at fast phasing games. you move to fast to notice :/ ..140mm fans at slow motion in my case, even at my Kraken X61 CPU cooler. just silent, massive single player machine and using Lightboost at 120Hz. and thats also it. when you play games like Fallout 4 (heavily modded) at ultra.. modded, with a good computer, graphic card and monitor. then you see what games can do today. there is no shortige of story's or programmers. most of our games are held back because of hardware. Imagine a computer with 844 Ghz, 420 Core CPU , with a 42 Ghz GPU and a 688 TB memory. this will come one day. so imagine the games that will follow.
And it's also like this. people sell stuff to make a living. if you have a bad product people will not buy it and you will go out of buissness. and the product dies with you. but Computer hardware and games seems to be thriving. this is nature of men so it seems. this is what we humans want on this planet. we play games. and 4K resulution and other hardware will follow. because we buy the hardware and by buying it we express our will to go that way. we work and give them money and they build what we want. and as long as we want it, work and give them our money we will have better computers. but... the stories that the games are about can not be bought. because these are the stories of human people. where we came from and where are we going.. what was and what will be. what makes us scared and what we would like to be. the wonders of the human mind. just as a image in a human brain can see itself.. so are games. from one person to another. games are expression. but we no longer tell stories around the campfire. we make stories and games now. and we give them to others. a story. and to read the book you need a Computer. and the story is not of a distant person. a story with a option. and you deside.
I guess this i what you get from floating on a rock, circling the sun. for millions of years :/ ..always looking at the stars and asking "what is this?" and then we just play some game until we find out
