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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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).

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.

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.

>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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

>RTS is typically isometric strategy

>>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.

I can't have any father son bonding time with mine because he is not interested in video games. all he does is watch football on tv or occasional netflix movie

Man if I was like my parents my child would have 16 years now, what the fuck. I would be the dad that's autistic about HL2 and Factorio and shit. When I was his age I already had a successful youtube channel. It's so weird to think that my child would be "my dad is a youtuber". But thankfully I'm not retarded enough to have children and all of the males in my family are psychopaths, so I only have my Mom whose favorite game is New Vegas, but she also played a ton of others, and my late Grandma who was like a second Mom to me, she loved driving in BeamNG and suicide herself screaming "WOOHOO SEE YOU IN THE NEXT LIFE!!!" while jumping off cliffs.

https://litter.catbox.moe/rv7eg35iddxtmh99.mp4

Her amazement that you can drive from 1st person (She played GTA IV before that), is something I can relate to soo fucking much, I felt the same emotions when I was child playing new games to me. I have IRL friends, but she was my best friend. We could watch the same shows and youtube videos and she would get everything, like a fucking millennial that I am, despite being a mechanical engineer raised and educated in the fucking USSR. Thanks to her education she fucking understood my autism. I bought a 3d printer a few years before she dies and I could talk to her about it as equals, after explaining how it works... Man I fucking miss her so much.
>>
>>720760414
maybe you guys can do fantasy football together or something (I have never done it, but it could be a way to bond).

I recently went to a quilting convention with my mom and her friend just to spend time her her. I don't quilt but I think that it meant a lot to her.

These games were actually pretty great. I'd spend ages making custom golfers or playing on the more whacky courses with special characters.

Blogposting now, every now and again my dad will ask for games/consoles for his birthday or as a Christmas present despite not really playing games, have a whack at it for a day or two them stop by my house to drop it off.

Its happened enough times now that I'm sure he just does it as an excuse to forfeit a gift that he can give to me that he'll know I like. Feels good, but thinking about him bumbling around with his gift for a day or two to seem interested just to package it back up to give it to me makes me sad

I could never beat AD, last time I reached the Biont base but there were too many bombers and turrets. Great music though.

The difficulty spikes in those games were brutal. I remember this and those fucking snipers in Aquanox 2, together with those awful checkpoints, driving me insane.

What are some games I can play on a PC that don't require directx?
I'm stuck with this one from work that I don't have credentials to install anything.
>>
>>720808891
No newer directx or no directx at all?
Anything that uses DosBOX or has a port that runs in a browser should be fine.
>>
>>720809178
Ok nevermind this pc does have directx 12 but some games won't run due to other stuff missing and I can't install anything.
Right now I have Halo CE, and CS 1.6 and they seem to run fine.

Try to find portable versions of games you wanna play. Here's a portable version of WarCraft 3, no install required:

I would try to sink those subs but they're probably not even actual targets. They popped out of the water momentarily, shot an undodgeable missile that one-shot you, and submerged again. The game had splitscreen multiplayer that we played a bunch.

Never expected to see this game on /v/. Some arcades here had modded versions since the sprites are easily replaceable, so you had taliban-looking dudes despite here being the Middle East, the default beige armies, and then a tougher-looking cyber army(?).

Also the games are difficult as fuck in the later stages, and Beachhead 2002 is almost unwinnable towards the end where every bullet counts.

My dad only played our homebrew game called "I drink then slap you with my belt" with me and my brothers. Not funny. Also he was mesmerized by picrel so he spend some time with it albeit he sucked heavily. Rip (rest in piss) you monster

I'm guessing it would have been Jane's Longbow 2, Apache (1995) or Hind (1996), as they were some early proper helicopter sims.

Commanche was an arcade game. It's good though, I played Commanche 4 and loved it, the battlefield simulation engine is cool even today, each level had a feeling of a living world down to the individual soldier level. I used to make custom missions which were massive beach landings with tons of soldiers on each side. You could put down landing craft and place soldiers inside them and they would fucking stick to the landing craft and not fall out, insane engine

>my father and I would get pissed because this wouldn't run on windows 95 or 3.1 or something
That's strange because Novalogic games had a special voxel engine which seemed to run on anything, it ran fine on my shitbox

>>720704762
>Delta Force
Another Novalogic classic, amazing game series. It caught me completely by surprise when I noticed it had been rebooted into some shitty hero shooter or whatever

I refuse to call it Arma: Cold War Assault or whatever it's called nowadays. For me it'll always be Operation Flashpoint. I was serving in the military at the time, so sitting around doing nothing during the fist few missions hit really close to home, lol.

Man so many awesome games in here. My dad used to game on the Amiga 500 and then one day when I was about 4 he just abruptly stopped and never touched games again. I think he decided that he couldn't be a dad and play videogames at the same time, a strange guy. He used to play F22 Retaliator, FA/18 Interceptor, and World Class Leader Board (a golf game). He tried to play one of the early Falcon games but he couldn't figure it out.

>"everything is going too fast". Wondering if I will be the same in ten years or so.
Nah I don't think so, I think it's more an issue of getting stuck in your comfort zone and never leaving it. People say that certain parts of the brain decline with age but I've come to believe that it's entirely based on what parts of the brain you regularly use or neglect

>>720706203
>Rush 2
I played the first one. Loved it, the level design was amazing for an N64 game, lots of fun little nooks to explore. The levels were based on real parts of San Francisco complete with landmarks. You can actually visit many places in the game IRL

>>720707642
>Tiger Woods PGA tour 2004
Yes that's commonly considered to be the best ever golf game. Your dad has good taste

Holy fuck wasn't expecting to see this one here. I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing as a kid so I just would ski and buggy around the map until I found a ski-lift, then I'd ride it up and try and fly the hang-glider. Apparently it's actually a very simple game because you can just haul ass to the enemy HQ and blow it up and you win.

The men moved into proper milsims

Loved the first game. Downloaded it for free to play on my laptop when I was a kid who couldn't afford to buy games and my retarded dad wouldn't let me port forward so I could torrent. Very comfy tactical shooter

>Falcon 4 is very much alive in the form of Falcon BMS.
Falcon BMS is the more hardcore alternative to DCS. One of the only milsims out there with an actual honest-to-god dynamic campaign system, I wish more people cared about that sort of thing

>Conflict Vietnam was fucking horseshit. You got owned so easily in it that every level took hours
It's from an era where games were supposed to be difficult. I finished it as a 15 year old and enjoyed it

The fuck is this game and why does it have exactly the same interface as Gran Turismo 4

Made by the same devs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourist_Trophy_(video_game)
