Can I be a nostalgic bore for a while..?
Okay. Today I'm going to talk a little bit about the experience of my acquaintance with two of my favorite game titles (RDR and TF2). Why? For the reason that I find these acquaintances a bit strange and inverted.
Long-long time ago, when RRA (me) was a teeny-weeny little bastard, they had no proper powerful computer to play modern computer games, only their teeny-weeny mobile phone and the laptop that could only run "Silent Hill 2" normally, in complete with their lack of skill in installing anything on anything. So they played funny mobile games, sometimes without knowing where these things originate from.
First example - "Six-Guns" (2011) by Gameloft
In the plot, as I remember, something bad happens to the main character's lover (classic cliche) and he goes to fight bandits and other evil, and blah blah blah...well, you get it.
Considering that I saw it on a screen smaller than the palm of my hand, then all the textures and surroundings seemed very cool and realistic to me (my brain thought out most of the details, I'm sure), so I was happy playing it back then.
Wild west, cowboys, bandits, revolvers, huge map, hunting, side quests... Do you understand what I'm getting at?
Only few years later, I realized that "Red Dead Redemption" was probably the prototype of this game. However, the difference between them is that in "Six-Guns", various evil spirits are somehow inscribed into the world, some witches, ghouls and so on (this main character is something like John Marston x Vanhelsing to me).
But it wasn't the evil spirits that scared me the most, it was the damn bears. A meeting with a bear usually promised utter failure!
I wonder if this project is still alive, but in those early years it seemed cool compared to other available Western genre mobile games.
Second example - "Respawnables" (2012) by Digital Legends
Do you see the Soldier, Scout, Heavy and Spy here? Oh. And some pink guy, of course)))
Daymn! I remember spending hours playing this in online or with bots!
There's basically only one character (apparently, cloning took place), a decent cartoon style, but much more childish compared to our beloved TF2. And it's also a hats simulator, lol!
I remember that there was an all-against-all and maybe even team-on-team mode. Grenade launchers, double pistols, machine guns, sniper rifles, shotguns, there was a wide selection.
Even then, as a little caterpillar who loves SFM animations, I saw some slight similarities with the TF2 maps.
There also was a location (perhaps it was the "Eastside district") that resembled the "Kong King" map, so when I finally started to play TF2 and appeared on that one, I questioned myself if I'm in some nostalgic hallucination.
They say that this game has a very high entry threshold due to the pay-to-win system nowadays. Personally, I haven't checked it yet, and I still won't be able to restore my old account.
Well, that's how it turned out to be a little dive into the past. I'm wondering if there's anyone here who remembers these games.
