Gaming often fetishises the new but many great things exist in the past, so let's strap into our time machines and talk about our favourite games released before say 2010?

Just as with books, movies, plays etc the past holds a treasure trove of amazing experiences. Unless you have a lot more free time than I do it’s unlikely you’ve played anywhere near the majority of the classics. Let’s get out those pink sunnies and compare notes on some of our favourite releases....

Toxic_Tiger,

I played the first STALKER at uni as well and loved it. Along with Red Orchestra that a mate was a play tester for.

All games paled in comparison to how much time I sunk into WoW between 2006 and 2011 though.

Toxic_Tiger,

The game's publisher, 3D Realms, is known for its impactful history in video games and its 90s classics like Duke Nukem Forever...

Excuse me while I try and process that 3D Realms apparently exist in an alternate reality.

Toxic_Tiger,

Fair point, but I'd argue calling it a classic is a bit of a stretch.

Toxic_Tiger,

3 is my favourite game in the series. I absolutely hated how it started when I first played through, but once it got going and I got the hang of some of the mechanics, it just clicked. The story is great, the bosses are interesting, the setting is cool. It just hits all the right notes.

Toxic_Tiger,

I've been playing The Division 2 and I'm really enjoying it. I stopped playing for a few years, and now I've managed to stop the game crashing every 5 minutes, it's really good fun.

Toxic_Tiger,

I love DRG. It's such a simple premise, and it's just so much fun. Doesn't take itself too seriously and the devs seem like a cracking bunch of lads.

Toxic_Tiger, (edited )

There's so many different fixes. In the end I tried them all, but I think the tipping point for me was disabling all in-game overlays like Shadow play, Steam, Ubisoft Connect. In fact for Steam and the EA app, I closed them completely. I've played for about a week with no crashes so far.

The rest of the fixes have running are stuff look running in admin, disabling the exploit protection for the game exe, updating the anti-cheat, running in DX11, lowering fog quality from high. If you manage to find a list of stuff to fix Div2 crashes, there's a solid chance I've tried them all.

Toxic_Tiger,

I love Titanfall 2, I've yet to find a game like it. There's so much going on and I feel that not being a twitch shooter means I can keep up more easily with the young-uns.

Criminally underplayed game.

Toxic_Tiger,

GOG.com is great. Almost all the games I remember playing as a teenager for mere single digit amounts. My latest purchase was FEAR, but my library is full of mid 90s to early 2000s stuff.
