what do you mean

>boot up old multiplayer games
>load into map
>no sounds except for ambience and footsteps
>immense feeling of lonliness

Well sometimes I'll be playing a game and notice a crate and just think "the guy who put that there probably doesn't even remember doing it, it was so long ago but it's still there in the same place". And that train of thought just snowballs until I'm rotating the camera and thinking about how the world is just frozen in time, it's so depressing to think that everyone already played this game and moved on with their lives and it's still just here. It's such an empty feeling.

This guy gets it

Sounds like some major autism to me.

I WANT MODERN WRAITH OF HEAVEN WITH TONS OF CHARACTERS AND MOVES!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Then you do a world revamp to move it forward in time and add in amenities to attract new players, but the players are like "MUH HARDCORE VANILLA"

I feel it OP.

>Boot up multiplayer mode of old game I spent a shitload of my youth in
>Walk through the maps and remember stuff
>Only bots everywhere now

How many hits of acid are you on right now?

I feel this so much and thought I was the only one

>play New Vegas as a western
>complete game, help good factions and gain Vegas its independence
>have mod where you basically walk off into the sunset to the North and leave the Mojave behind
>guess my work here is done
>in the shadow of the valley starts playing

fare thee well Mojave

>get on Halo 3
>hop onto each map
>walk around remembering the good ol' days of playing ranked and customs with friends I don't speak to anymore
>maps and lobbies are empty as fuck

it hurts...

Your pic actually hurts me.
Tenchu.... fucking present it sucks.

I get the same feeling with Halo

>best friend shows me halo 3 and gives me his extra copy as a gift
>used to always get on the warthog in Valhalla as a gunner with my friend driving
>have shittons of clips and screenshots of us doing crazy shit on warthogs
>dont speak for years
>playing halo 4 when it launched
>couple days in I get a message from friend
>let's relive the glory days bro
>we spend the day playing big team and doing crazy shit on warthogs
>last time we ever spoke

Why did you never try to talk to him again user?

>empty source game server

Games don't die though. You build a game, and anyone can experience it anytime in the future. You yourself are playing a game supposedly "forgotten by time".

>Recently accidentally found screenshot where me and my 10+ years online buddy pose together
>I went into radio silence years ago and never came back
Had to though. He and all the others became turbo normies while I couldn't. I didn't feel a connection anymore, just felt like shit around them

I know that feel

>all the camraderie I felt squadding up with people in Battlefield 2, doing oddball stuff and thanking/communicating with people on the servers
>BF3 onward is just killstreaks, suppression etc. with much smaller maps and very little communication, much less need to talk to anyone
>BF2 died because of Gamespy
FUCK

>that feeling when you've very nearly completed all of the side-quests in a game and the world that once felt so exciting now seems so empty and small

Legend of Mana had this as a plot point.
Kinda.
The world is already done and you are only replaying it's last memories.

I make a conscientious effort to not over invest in games anymore, even ones I like. Don't get me wrong, I still spend a lot of time playing, but being a part of the multiplayer boom of gaming definitely taught me that these things are just that, games, meant to be moved on from.

Now I just look forward to newer games for the experience of trying out something new in a genre that I love. I always remember that one day I didn't know shit about Diablo 2, and then my buddy brought it over. I try and keep an open mind so that can happen again, with more than just video games.

I got that feeling when replaying mass effect 1 and 2 a lot.

one tf2 gets to this point i'm giving up vidya and go wherever life takes me
or fester in this shithole more than i already do

nah do the first one, or take up competitive offline tournaments of some kind. Definitely don't crawl back into the basement.

>the intro of FF7 is Aeris looking into the lifestream and knowing she can't change anything

We can't get off this train we're on etc. etc.

I used to feel this playing SM64 as a kid. Particularly outside the castle.
>trying to jump out of bounds
>even though there is nothing but vast emptiness forever

>PS1 Tenchu games have aged like shit and are barely playable anymore.
and how I loved them. I thought it would last forever.

I find it comfy. Nothing like clearing an area of enemies and being able to lounge around forever.

I think this era of games were special because it was all so damn abstract. They had a mysterious vibe to them. PS1 and N64 games were so damn small, you thought you could figure it all out, but it's like the OP said, they are frozen in time.

bump

Imagine WoH but with the fine tuning and quality of life additions from Fatal Shadows, on PS4.
Fuck man, I legit miss Acquire. I honestly don't know if I won the lottery if I'd fund a new Tenchu or WotS 5.
Does the original studio even exist anymore?

That's the cool thing about games, user. It's like a self contained little world.

I always got this feel when I played pokemans. You would go on this grand adventure while most NPCs are cemented on their little tiles with dialogue that rarely changes. The day/night cycle in gold/silver only amplified this feeling because it actually felt like the game was advancing in real-time instead of some video game frozen time.

are you seeing anybody about your autism 2bh

autistic babies should be killed at birth
