What games of older generations would you put up? i dont mind the genre really, id would just love to hear yalls suggestions.
Metroid is likely the most famous
i recently streamed metroid fusion but had to stop cause the infinite spin jump simply didnt work, very sad cause its a good one
It’s not in Dread either. Drives me crazy.
It is in fusion tho, it just LITERALLY didnt work correctly, i got it working maybe once or twice and than never again
idk how i managed to get up to the final boss in dread, but i really didnt like it, the big selling points of the robots where so annoying, like a pale imitation of the samus x of…fusion
I spent 200+ hours with Dread when it came out. Shiniest new toy in awhile so I played the hell out of it. I tried playing it the other week and it doesn’t really feel like Metroid to me now.
Long ass opening with an intro fight we can’t even play.
Samus flies across the room. She’s way way too fast.
Far too much of a focus on boss fights.
Weakest exploration in the series.
Super missiles don’t bounce off anything.
The scary robots are in obvious locations and can just be run past.Super Metroid is still top dog. If you want a modern metroidvania check out Axiom Verge.
cool, ill check it otu
Is Mirror’s Edge “older” already?
unfortunately, yes, its been 15 years
I’m still alive I cannot apologise
Wow, wow, wow
Beyond Good & Evil
i remember when i was a lil gal, i had trouble with the first block pushing puzzle lmao
But Nietzsche was a boy!!
EDIT: Just remembered Perfect Dark
NOLF huh, thats a new one for me, thanks
NOLF was great, it just had a bad timing with the release
Portal
Perfect Dark
Tomb Raider
Metroid
Mirror’s Edge
Ms. Pac-Man, obvs
Magical Diary: Horse Hall was fun
i kinda like how that one looks, thanks
Bayonetta.
Blood rayne, for “older sexy action woman game”
No One Lives Forever.
Tomb Raider (1996). The levels are well designed and work with the tank controls in a way that lets you master Lara Croft’s acrobatic descent through haunting environments that feel far more threatening than most games I see today
Also triangle boobie
I remember creating a female Twi’lek Jedi in some of the old LucasArts Jedi games.
- LucasArts Jedi something something
- KOTOR
- Baldur’s Gate
- Fallout Although these were more like “create-your-own protagonists” rather than “known hero protagonists” that people recognize.
Aside from the classics already mentioned in the thread, Lara, Chell, Samus, Valentine, Redfield, etc. here’s a few that come to mind:
- Peach in Super Mario 2, the game that feels more like a mushroom trip, than a trip to mushroom kingdom
- Aya from Parasite Eve
- Chun Li from Street Fighter, also Cammy
- Mortal Kombat
- Tekken
- Soulcalibur
- Dead or Alive
- Sarah Kerrigan in Starcraft(s), although it’s an RTS, so protagonist is a bit loose.
- Rayne from BloodRayne, the first video game character to appear in PlayBoy, eh
- Ellie from The Last Of Us, damn it’s been 10 years already? Is that an old game already? Am I old? Nevermind, don’t answer.
- Clem from The Walking Dead
- Joanna from Perfect Dark
I’m sure I’m forgetting a few others.
I believe the default choice in the jedi academy character creator was a female twilek…
Quite possible, I must admit it’s been long enough that I don’t remember much detail and mix the multiple games in the series.
once again my list keeps getting longer lol, thanks
Here are a couple I played back in the day:
- Oni (Bungie, 2001)
- Remember Me (Dontnod, 2013)
that girl form oni looks like she cna kick my ass, i like her already
Metroid.
How did I scroll through this list and not see Samus Aran mentioned?
Jill of the Jungle, if you like Commander Keen era PC platformers.
Barbie: Horse Girl Adventures
oh man, i forgot that game existed, never played it tho…yet
King’s Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella
One of my most favorite King’s Quest games. And one of the first games I remember playing with a proper female lead.are the kings quest games selfcontained? do i need any of the previous ones to fully understand what is happening?
