My dad fucking loves Jagged Alliance 2

My dad is an aviation dork so he had these games where you would fly a helicopter in first person and we always crashed and could never figure out the controls properly. Fun times, wish I remember what they were called. He played AoE2 as well.

>>720702409
That guy is having WAY too much fun gunning down people

Anon, this is more like grandpa core.

SC2

WoW
Dota
Doom

>>720702543
Maybe the Commanche games?

>>720702329 (OP)
My dads favorite game

>>720702329 (OP)
Yeah my dad played video games all the time in between working overtime 16 hours and binge drinking for the other 8.

The whole series is classic dadcore. Even Duke 1-2

>>720702409
I remember playing this at an arcade 20 years ago. It had a giant ball turret you sat in.

>>720702329 (OP)
Thief and fan missions. There are plenty of millennials and zoomers playing old games like Doom or Quake, but Thief is 99% old fucks.

My has been playing this game on the same map since 1998.

My mom has stories about him playing this shit while ignoring her calls for help dealing with my ass when I was a baby in the late 90s.

These games

>>720704578
I remember not really liking M.A.X 2 compared to the first one. I played the hell out of the first game(LAN play and multiplayer with a friend). What a great game.

>>720702329 (OP)
my dad just plays team fortress 1, mist, and mdk 2.

kids who played this at launch are on their 30s

>>720702409
machine gun nipples

My dad played some golf game on our old mac, it looked kind of like golden tee where it's third person and your guy is just a big sprite
I remember it had a setting for "goofy announcer" or something along those lines

I would love to figure out what it was

>>720704401
>tsumo

>>720704762
This and Battlefield Vietnam were the only 2 games my dad played with me, he never had interest in any other games

My dad (now in his 70s) now probably has 3k hours in KSP. A lot of that would be idle time, but the majority would not.

>>720703696
>i actually played duke 1 and 2 before 3d
am i a zaddy

>>720703696
Why duke nukem logo looks like borderlands 4 lol

my dad really liked Tiger Woods PGA tour 2004 specifically

>>720706220

its pronounced tsu-mo with the stress on the tsu

threads like this remind me how old I am
my parents were already adults when Pac Man first got popular, neither of them have ever willingly touched a video game in their life and only have a vague understanding of what they even are

Bought Battlefield 1942 when I was a kid and because it had 2 disks, I could give my father one disk and play LAN with him. It was cool for me but he didn't think that... Shame that he never gasped about quality time with both of his son (I understand him, my grandfather never bonded with him after his mother died after he was born).

Outlaws (the cowboy one), Age of mythology and Halo ( I discovered Halo after watching Red vs Blue and showed my dad, he never played Halo, but he loves the theme)

OH, WHILE I WAS TYPING, I REMEMBERED THAT HE HAS THE BOX VERSION OF LARA CROFT AND FLIGHT SIMULATOR.

>>720704762
He loved Black Hawk Down and Modern Warfare.

My dad probably sunk more hours into HoMM3 than I have in any game.

>>720702540
based dad

>>720704996
Shame it's fucking broken and always crashes after like turn 150.

>>720705773
In fact, I am already closing in on 40

On topic: My dad only ever used to play some shitty Game Boy games like Chessmaster, some soccer game and some top-down Formula 1 racing game.
He also played other racing games with us something, but eventually not anymore because "everything is going too fast". Wondering if I will be the same in ten years or so.
More recently I showed him my VR setup with Assetto Corsa, but he got motion sick pretty quickly.

My dad actually went out of his way to buy NAM/NAPALM and actually try to play it which is wild, he would rarely dabble in Tetris but was otherwise a fan of Lightgun games, played his fair share of Lethal Enforcers and Time Crisis back in the day, and weirdly enough, T-MEK

>>720706203
Love this game so much bros.

Good luck finding something older than this.

not sure if it's dadcore but the only video game i remember ever playing with my dad was operation wolf on the master system (we would do this sort-of-but-not-really-coop with one of us on the gun and the other throwing grenades on controller 2)

we never beat the goddamn thing

>>720702409
I wonder what was in his mind introducing this game to me and seeing me right now

I wish my dad played videogames
all he does is waste money on online slots and chatting with sluts on livejasmin

>>720713584
why is he pissing away money like that

>>720705773
They also don't have kids.
Therefore, not dad gaming.

>>720702329 (OP)
My dad didn't understand doing something that accomplished nothing of real world use like video games, and that wasn't just his boomer opinion. He literally didn't know how to live life without using his body and mind for a practical purpose.

>>720713710
he has given up after mom left him for being a drunk

My dad used to play all sorts of FPS but has been exclusively playing Far Cry 5 since it came out. That arcade mode where you can upload custom maps is like crack to him, he must play every fucking thing someone puts on there.

My dad plays FFXIV. Before that was released he played FFXI. Before that he mostly played RTS games. Let's see, before we got a PC he played on all consoles back to Atari, and arcades before that.

>>720713817
So he never watched TV or read a book or had a beer?

>>720705773
36 here.

Anyway, my dad really likes Golden Axe on the megadrive and really (REALLY) got into wii sports resort table tennis.
He was legit destroying all the bots and wanted me and my bro to play him just so he could destroy us.

everyone sounds in their 40s/50s when they use their mics. it's also only populated enough to play in the evenings or on weekends.

my dad enjoys the Megadimension Neptunia games, he says they're smart games

>>720703696

What a padded list.

only game my dad would play and enjoy

The only games my dad ever enjoyed were MediEvil and MediEvil 2.


>>720703262
Based. I loved the PS2 era Conflict games.

>>720714149
I should go back. I miss it. I think I miss DOD gldsrc even more.

That explosions

>>720714805
i like the idea of a true "smart game" that is always challenging you to the absolute peak of your limits at all times without being overwhelming, where failure is still a real danger if the game detects you are not "locked the fuck in" as the zoomers say

>>720702697
This right here

The only games my dad plays are the PS2 Hitman games.

My dad would always get home angry as shit at his day and beat the piss out of my mom or me and would always try to smash my knees out with what ever was on hand, he used his xbox once and it left me unable to walk for days

a real father doesn't play games

>>720716519
I'm sorry to hear that. I wonder what caused boomers to do shit like that? Like why did those sorts of genetic/ memetic behaviors last so long? You'd think it would have been purged at least a century ago.

>>720716638
Leaded gasoline, unironically

Descent is the ultimate Dadcore game ever Made.

I was playing Gran Turismo 4 on an emulator and it was the only time my dad stopped and stared at the screen, genuinely intrigued in whatever I was doing. The man hasn't touched a video game outside of arcades in the 80s and 90s, but is a massive car autist. Kept asking me questions like "Is that a Golf 4?" and trying to be nonchalant, but he was very obviously intrigued.

>>720716729
mine certainly loves it

>>720716939
You could tell me this was a game specifically made for My Summer Car and I'd unironically believe you.

>>720716917
It's either Descent or DemonStar https://youtu.be/orC4eqfhMHY?si=7hM5F2mKVz5Iyye3

Now it's just another park. a nice one at least.

>>720707203
tell him there's a speed up button and he doesn't actually have to wait 26 days to get to Minmus

>>720702329 (OP)
my dad got this for my brother around the time it came out. He was in his 40s. He played occasionally with my brother until he got mad at him for something and threw it away. He didn't play anything since and began to hate videogames because of my brother.

>>720714097
Got Silent Hunter 2 off my grandad when he bought this. I barely played it since I wanted to play 3 just like him

>>720717824
Your dad sounds like a massive bitch

>>720702409
Based. I remember having the demo for this and was hooked

Dad used to play all sorts of cool shit I got hooked on later. X-COM, Jagged Alliance, Il-2, C&C, Wing Commander, Silent Storm. And some more that wasn't my cup of tea like MSFS or Silent Hunter.
But the past decade the only two things he expresses any inclination towards are beer and World of Warships. I don't know which is worse at this point.

>>720713932
>My dad plays FFXIV
Sad that someone like that was allowed to reproduce.

Classic and woth is better

>>720702329 (OP)
I remember using the deer call, and our dogs would go nuts.
So I'd lower the volume enough for them to hear it, while my parents couldn't hear a thing, and cause utter chaos

My dad has been asking me for games to play, what would unironically be a good game for someone's first game? He doesn't like retro graphics so it has to be somewhat modern game, ps3 graphics or later and it has to be something a real grown adult man likes no faggy shit.

>>720718505

>I prefer missions like 'harvest 150 lb lesser scaup for a wedding' over grinding 100 hours for a dia.
I don't remember a single mission that has you harvest a diamond.
But yeah, mission design in COTW is kinda sucky. Still doesn't make WOTH better in any way.

The 'drown out your wife and children' special.

My old man only played games one time

>>720719283
Lots of actual boomers that used to have office jobs before they retired play vidya. They play shit like SimCity 4, Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, and Sims, though.

>>720719165
My dad loved Doom and Duke3D and hardly played anything before that. Most 80s games PC games were either text adventures or simplistic platformers anyway. No we did not own any consoles, it was always just PC.

>>720702329 (OP)
>Terminal Velocity
>Diablo 1
>Close Combat: A Bridge to far
>Operation Flashpoint

My dad was obsessed with Railroad Tycoon, but he was never truly into games. Enjoyed Sim City too, but by mid/late 90s he never played anything.

>>720702409
>do what you love and you won't have to work a day in your life

>>720719501
Just to be clear, we are talking about the people who still call every console a "Nintendo" or "Playstation".
Among my parents, relatives, in-laws and parents of friends (all 60+) there is not a single one who would play or know any game beyond Tetris (maybe my parents based on what my brother and I played).

>>720702329 (OP)
I thought that was deer's revenge for a second

This is the only game my boomer 70s coasting dad plays. He thinks vidya are for spoiled children.

I wish my dad played vidya games, he legit spends his time when he's not at work listening to ai bullshit, like ai revenge stories about people getting one over mean people

I was once playing this and my dad saw what I was doing, pulled up a chair, and watched me bothering a convoy for about two hours in silence, only occasionally speaking to offer me some advice.

>I think that's a destroyer heading towards you
>turn your engines off until he's over you, then slowly turn around and sneak in the other direction
>why are you rearming the torpedoes? there's no point in doing that now

>>720719952
He's probably too tired to do anything else. You'd understand too if you had a job.

>>720720538
nta, but I have a job and I am too tired to do anything but playing games.

>>720720538
I am that anon and I have a job, I make like 20 bucks an hour, it's not great money, but shit is cheap here.

I don't know why it attracts so many dads, even rainbow six siege during the first year had lots of dads and I think that game would be a lot better now if it catered to the dad players

>>720723289
As someone who dusted off his Call of Duty 4 after almost 20 years I can tell you that it's just too much.
I go in there, specops shit, and suddenly I face the entire chechen army and millions of towelheads and all kinds of heavy machinery and I have probably killed more people in the CoD4 campaign as Soap than I did in the entirety of CoD(UO).
That kind of shit is just stressful. I'd rather breach a door with my squad in SWAT 4.

>>720723657
It's interesting because I think something like SWAT is a lot more stressful and it's part of why I play it. Call of Duty is like you're THE guy, a one man army, but with SWAT you're just A guy, you can die just as easily as you can kill someone else.

>>720724437
>Call of Duty is like you're THE guy, a one man army, but with SWAT you're just A guy, you can die just as easily as you can kill someone else.
Yeah, but it's not about how squishy you are, but how many enemies are on screen at once and how in SWAT4 you don't have to run to pass a trigger to make them stop spawning.
Also, even on Hardened you WILL die pretty quickly because the air is lead saturated.

>>720702409
they had a version of this at gameworks where you wore a giant vr headset. There was also a similar title that spun you around in a little plexiglass cage with the screen mounted in front of you, was fucking great

39 here got it at launch.

One of my earliest memories is my dad bringing home a nes in like 89 or 90 or something with the grey (not orange faggot shit) zapper and the mario bros/duckhunt cart. We played a ton of shit together all the time but mostly it was the TMNT game. We never did beat it together because I was like 4 and he wasn't the greatest at games but we loved that piece of shit. Good memories. We played some Mario Kart on the SNES but he was pretty much out on games by then. I remember him being absolutely blown away at how Mario 64 looked though.

>>720735507
Yeah it's very good and playable now. There are some systematic problems with character building IMO, but I won't get in to them here. There's apparently more DLC on the way, but I wouldn't wait for it. The complete edition is still probably years away.

Worms Armageddon is literally the only game my dad has played for years, and he's gotten in at least one match vs the computer per day for the last few years.
I played a match against him not too long ago and he doesn't even know how to use the Ninja Rope. Still beats the lvl 5 CPU consistently though.
He always played through the Gran Turismo and GTA games on release, but lost interest after GT Sport, and GTA 5 is 12 years old now.

>flight sim
I'll raise ya.

first shooter i ever played because my dad read a lot of Tom Clancy and had a few PC games including this one and Sum of All Fears
frankly, they were both way too hard for 5 year old me and I didn't really understand the objectives, but I just liked sneaking around and shooting guys with a suppressed pistol

my dad doesn't play vidya either. He told me that he got massively addicted to Ms. Pac-man at the arcades in the 80s and realized he had to step away or he wouldn't be able to get anything done. Respect to him, he's stuck to it ever since

I think it's just because everyone at that point is just content and don't want to try hard. There's another infamous server on DoD:S that has a lot of anal rules just to compensate for the player base being older (no quickswapping after reloads, no using flashlights, no crouchjumping, etc.)

Dude when Doom 3 came out I was starting college, and would probably have 18 year old son if I bought condoms at shiity shops instead of pharmacies.

The only games I could remember playing with my dad, was PGA 1996, we thought it was so funny to hit the ball at a house and hearing the impact.

The other was an old Star Wars Tank based game, Clone Wars for GC I believe. It was Tank vs Tank Arena, but he would just drive the tank, and activate a speed boost to go over a jump really fast. He thought it was HILARIOUS. I can remember his laugh now.... thank you anon.

>>720720273
That's some good stuff anon

>>720723698
I also run it fine

GoW2 Horde on the River map was so good. Been waiting for a remaster for ages now.

>>720737121
Gldsrc had some wild maps. Big old forts and stuff. I vaguely recall some different mechanics, but put on the spot I couldn't recite them.

I put it in the filename and everything buddy.

>>720746132
Sorry that didn't sound like the name of a golf game so I assumed the filename was unrelated
Thanks though, I'm glad I finally found this after all these years

car games have strong dad appeal

>>720743378
unfortunately

The only game dad ever played.

>>720707203
Dude that’s awesome, I love that. Respect to your grandpa and I hope he keeps playing for years to come

>>720702565
He's having fun because he doesn't have to lead as much as usual.

My dad was into some phone tower defense game when he had a phone with keyboard basically its Wild west theme and you actually could direcly control your units and move them around it was pretty cool sadly now he spends his time watching tiktok and ai shit.

Playing it with my brothers was easy.

Replaying it recently playing singleplayer was a whole other ball game.

My dad used to play cool shit like Resident Evil and Silent Hill on PS1. I was watching him play, waiting for him to finish so I could play some Need For Speed.
And now he's playing sonyslop like Horizon or normalfag shit like Elden Ring. God, I fucking hate modern gaming.
his favourite game is Skyrim btw

So many memories just going to stores and browsing the art and screenshots on big box PC games, especially the ones with the front flaps. I remember making my own game manuals for school projects with shitty crayon art. I also regret taking it for granted and not taking care of everything I owned.

My Mom was playing Pinball when she met my Dad.

>>720751875
My mom has been playing the same breakout game for over 20 years

I tried it and it's actually good and now I have the world record high score

>>720751875
For whatever reason, all my aunts are really good at the original Prince of Persia, so I'll say that.

>>720751875
Tetris. One time she tried to get into Resident Evil one. She went back to Tetris.

I love the Sopranos but I hate all these fucking edits of them

>>720751875
I don't think my mom (60yo) ever played anything but Tetris, but in the 90s she was basically addicted to it.
I distinctly remember her playing with her friend over link cable. They were just sunbathing in the backyard and playing Tetris.
And no, the friend was not hot.

>>720751875
My mom plays Ms. Pacman.

>>720752272
It's a great port. Install GoG version, extract the port into the same directory and it boots immediately into the game. Runs perfectly.

>>720752342
>And no, the friend was not hot.
Was your mom though

My dad used to play this a lot.

>>720718831
Man... the memories of shipping weapons from Vancouver to Karachi. I'm a dad myself now, but I haven't played PoC since roughly 25 years, if I had to guess.

>>720746110
theres been a few maps on 415 with various forts. i know gldsrc had brits in the game, but besides that i dont know much else about it.
i much prefer US vs Germany though.

>>720739607
That's the god awful remastered edition or whatever it's balled right? The town screens look slightly off in a bad way.

RTS is one of THE least female genres overall.
Even city builders are too autistic for women.

>>720754950
?
Do you know what a RTS is?

first vidya memory I had was sat on my dad's lap watching him play old doom wads

>>720702329 (OP)
This is the only game I've seen my dad play.

>>720751875
NYT word puzzles, card games, Peggle

>>720751875
She didn't like em when they went 3D but she's beaten every topdown zelda

>>720702329 (OP)
It was me and my dad's favorite videogame. Still is.

>>720755910
wololo

>>720754950
Caesarlikes aren't RTSes. Also there's a big, largely female driven market for them on mobile.

>>720718639
seconding red dead 2. it's totally boomercore - there's hunting, fishing, birdwatching, etc. blow his mind with the AAAA graphics.

>>720755998
>Caesarlikes aren't RTSes
No? What are they, then?

>>720755984
typo, I meant that this is our favorite videogame

My dad is from the really cringe subset of people who HATES anime, which is really stupid because if he could just get over his "manliness" I know that he would fucking love it. The dude watches the twilight franchise on repeat because he loves slice of life teenager shit, but he can't watch anime? lmfao. He is missing out so bad, he would fucking love it. He refuses to watch anything foreign at all, so kdrama is out too.. I feel bad, because if he was younger in this day and age he would be absolutely swimming in content

>>720756231
>cringe dad
>raised cringe daughter (male)
Checks out

I am a dad. My favourite games are Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, MGS1 and KOTOR 2

>>720756231
for my dad it is less "masculinity" and more the fact that to him it all looks the same and is always over the top so he doesn't like it. The only anime he likes is from studio ghibli, lain and angel's egg.

>>720756106
They're a specific subgenre of citybuilder. There's little to no combat in them at all, even in the original Caesar games there were maps that had no attackers.

>>720756454
>They're a specific subgenre of citybuilder
And citybuilders are not RTS?

>>720756452
>my dad likes lain but thinks everything else looks the same
so... he has very discerning taste in anime is what you're saying

>>720756517
No, RTS is a completely different genre.

>>720756517
>>720756595
City builders are not RTS. Factorio is also not an RTS. They're close though

>>720756595
>>720756696
Is that because they're not real time or because they're not strategy?

>>720756556
yes, i admit that those are good picks but he wouldn't even give perfect blue, ghost in the shell or stein;s gate a try even though I am pretty sure he would enjoy those. He just here's the word "anime" and he instantly doesn't want it

>>720756517
>Sim City is a RTS
Is this nigga niggnogging our noggers?

>>720755910
>>720755984
>>720756180

>>720756828
typo, i meant "hears"

>>720756802
so I guess dark souls and hollow knight are both RTS as well because they're real time and have strategic thought involved?

>>720756802
Not strategy. Citybuilders are, in essence, puzzle games.

>>720756958
>Citybuilders are, in essence, puzzle games.
Like "real" RTS campaigns?

>>720702329 (OP)
My dad's favorite game was Asteroids
His second favorite game was GTAV because you could go in strip clubs and see naked chicks

anyways I'm throwing creeper world 3 into the ring for dad-core because it's strategic and fun but doesn't have the mechanical requirements of something like starcraft

>>720714149
I didn't like DOD:Source because they got rid of grenade priming. Also some other changes like only certain classes had a side arm, riflemen only had rifle grenades and not regular grenades, and a bunch of other things.

>>720757047
No? Even in campaign mode you're competing against an AI opponent that will react to your strategies with its own (even if it may be very stupid about it). That's not a puzzle that's strategy.

Let's just call it even and say that while city builder is technically a sub section of RTS, it is not what people would traditionally think of as an RTS. RTS is typically isometric strategy, with resource gathering and management, and unit production, where you are fighting an opponent. City builders are more like you are fighting other constraints. I think they're both "puzzle" games in their own ways

>>720757669
>RTS is typically isometric strategy
Most RTS games are not isometric

>>720757663
There's something so charming about these old games set within the windows UI

>>720757412
you can cook grenades in dods if thats what you mesn by priming. also, a lot of servers give every class a sidearm. while it is annoying, you can just shoot a rifle grenade against a wall and pick it up and throw it.

>>720757669
>>720757741
Isometric strategy! Care to join me?

Old school Deer Hunter is so damn good, especially Deer Hunter 2 plus the expansion pack.
