Side note: Jeff's nonsensical hate rant about Red Dead was starting to give me the vibes of a bile filled hate speech from a racist or what have you. I'm not saying those two things are anything close to equal (obviously!), but listening to that was just uncomfortable.
I had a lot of fun with MW2 as well, of course in many ways it's "worse" than Cod4 but the zeitgeist along with that game was so fun. Everybody at my school copped an xbox and that game even if they previously had little interest in gaming. You'd turn on your console a regular weekday evening and like 5+ of your friends would be playing. A lot of good memories.
BC2 still takes it, but only by a thin thin margin
Of course there was also halo 3, reach and ODST but I always found co-op/single player a little more fun in that. Split screen forge mode on Halo 3 actually is up there.
I think the PS3/Wii/XB360 was when console online multiplayer developed into something properly respectable. I have shitloads of good memories from playing on Xbox live. So what were your favorite online games of the last generation? Feel free to share some specific memories.
Personally, I'd vote Battlefield: Bad Company 2. That game provided me some insane level of BANTZ. When you had a 4-man squad of friends all with their heads tilted forward in full-on-concentration-mode you could make MAGIC happen. I still remember when my buddy figured out that you could strap 4 fully perked up players' worth of C4 (so a good 24 sticks of C4) on the remote controlled UAVs and fuck up the game completely by flying that thing into tanks and objectives and detonating it, without any danger to yourself. Or just the countless very very close victories when we managed to win as attackers with 0 respawns left. Or when we managed to sneak special ops-style into the enemy base and steal their crucially important helicopter gunship before they could get it airborne. Or the many action-movie-style "WHERE'S THE GODDAMN EXTRACTION?" moments when one or two of us were desperately holding out against overwhelming opposition while another tried to pick us up with a helicopter.
I saw some people saying the devs, or some of the devs are nazis/fascists because apparently one of the devs liked a facebook page that was very anti-immigration and "linked to nazi groups".
I dunno man. I'm not of that political affiliation, but you can't call people nazis cus they're against immigration. There's probably a decent amount of republicans making your games. Isn't it a bit naïve to expect everyone in this industry has the same exact progressive views as you? Not to mention being pretty strongly anti-immigration is common in eastern European cultures, and even though cultural normalcy doesn't make anything OK by default, I dislike mostly American/British people making hasty judgements about these guys' opinions, which relate to Polish society.
I think libertarians are pretty stupid, but there's probably fuckloads of libertarians making my favorite games.
People who know Poland: What was that organization the dude liked on FB like? Comparable to something like UKIP? Or worse, like National Front?
