Any older pvp multiplayer game because they end up getting "solved" and you have to learn the gay meta

there was a sale on that green army men game for $1 so everyone bought it and played it over the weekend. it was fun as fuck having huge battles. if you tried to play after you would be lucky to find 2 other guys in a lobby.

Small pokemania but actually having a car to go places with a crew of buds to raid gyms beats having to beg your mom to drive you to the store to get pokemon eggo waffles.

TF2 during the class updates. Everything after they added the pay store was downhill

Some lad on /v/ hosted a 1000 player server of his prototype team game about what I think was humans vs alien crabs in a shootout similar to Planetside. It played like absolute shit, but those kinds of experiences are fun to be a part of for an hour.

Demon/Dark Souls, zoomers don't get that it was mindbending at the time for a game to not hold your hand and just let the player figure things out through trial by fire.

GW1, DAoC, WoW Vanilla, WAR, City of Heroes/Villains, Halo multiplayer (CE, 2), CoD lobbies, BF2/BF3, WC3/and a slew of other RTS, original DotA, TF1/2, (...).
Basically every good game, and primarily because of the communities at the time. There were very few thin-skinned little faggots, no "moderation" and everyone was playing to have fun, performative gaymers didn't exist -- only good old regular sweats who'd create metas, not copy them from an e-grifter's video or w/e.

Pretty much all games 5+ years old.

Every flash game on Newgrounds

I do not think this is true for anything. For multiplayer having the right people around at the time can make for memorable times but not having anyone around won't make the game itself lose any of what it had to offer. Understanding the appeal of a game only requires you to play it to the end or reach the original level cap of the MMO.

With the right people any conceivable thing can become timeless fun, like scrolling threads on 9gag at 4 a.m. to giggle at poorly written creeypasta and then nervously look over your shoulder into the darkness.
The value of a game should not ride on its social aspect.

>and primarily because of the communities at the time.
And that is primarly because of the internet at the time
Access to the internet up to the late 2000" was severely restricted by several gatekeeping mechanics, you needed a desktop computer, you needed physical space to put it somewhere, you needed to actually know how to use it, have money for the internet subscription that wasn't cheap at the time, and most importantly, you needed to be curious enough to enter this world yourself since it was not actively shilled at the time.
All those limiting factors created a world that pretty much was a cyber ethnostate consisting of only the top 20/30% of rich white nations, as widespread internet access was virtually innexistant in the third world in the mid 2000.

I think normiecattle and the whole zoo of poos, merchants and niggers could be salvaged, if corporate atleast didn't reward them for being thin-skinned little faggots. Then again usury and sophistry can only exist in the vaccuum of censorship and by means of social misengineerig and botched eugenics...

Probably every turn-based RPG of yesteryear. Since they all had essentially the same combat system, so after you've played through a bunch of them, the rest are extremely boring and uninspired. And given that the combat system plays such an integral part in the core gameplay loop, it's enough to completely ruin the experience.

i'm not a 'popular thing bad' guy, all these games just felt different at the times i said

>>718174769
I am also a huge fan of SWG and agree on the community part, but It's not Blizzard's fault that third party publishers / developers all decided to try and make WoW clones. That's on them being greedy and afraid to innovate. It doesn't help that most MMOs which tried to deviate from themepark tab targeting never got off the ground because people didn't give them a chance.

>>718173715
I disagree. The game hasn't aged poorly. You'll get about the same experience playing it now that you would have back in 2015. Unless you were spoiled on the story beats, or go into it with unreasonably high expectations fueled by the game's overly enormous profile.

Which is true for everyone who hasn't played it at this point.
And even if it wasn't, there was just something special about playing the game with absolutely no knowledge or expectations whatsoever and being blown away that you simply cannot experience now unless you somehow have never used the internet.

Holy shit that was so true. No WoW but it was Ragnarok Online.
I chat up some girl from texas who was in her 20s and consoled her about her abusive boyfriend. I was like 14 at the time. Another time with a girl from Finland who trauma dumped me about being raped. I didn't care because chatting with strangers was so new and exciting back then.
This was all back in 2005.
