Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

Playing this as a kid, I never imagined the impact this single game would have on gaming. (imgur.com)

Tasering bad guys until they burst into flames was the best part lol! I only ever used the taser.

[–]Tibleman 6 points7 points ago

That was my objective in almost every mission. Just to use the tazer

[–]TheJoker116 7 points8 points ago

One of the best exclusives the PS1 had. I've put countless hours in this series. :)

[–]bigotkillerx 14 points15 points ago

I never imagined the impact this single game would have on gaming.

And what impact did it have on gaming? I don't recall any game trying to be anything like this.

[–]Erachten 2 points3 points ago

I'm with this guy, great game but I'm not sure how it affected the rest of gaming. Care to elaborate?

[–]mistahnuff 2 points3 points ago

A whole pile of this.

It was a great game, no doubt but I really don't see how it really affected games as a whole.

[–]spyro1132 1 point2 points ago

"I never imagined the impact it would have on gaming" Which is to say, not at all

[–]radicaldreamer92 1 point2 points ago

such an amazing soundtrack...too bad none of the other games came close to its brilliance

[–]dez4u 3 points4 points ago

Gabriel Logaaaaan... Always the optimeeest!

[–]teakwood54 2 points3 points ago

I remember this commercial from back in the day. The white flags at the end killed me.

[–]mattf122 2 points3 points ago

One of my personal favourite PS1 games and still is, was a great game to play split screen with friends.

[–]DrLeonSisk 2 points3 points ago

This was my favorite series of games. Loved Logan.

[–]Offensive_Brute[S] 0 points1 point ago

I think since I can't afford a new console and new games, i'm gonna buy a PSONE and some old games. Drop like $50 and start gaming again. I'm thinking I wanna get Syphon Filter, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 1 and 2, Silent Hill, Final Fantasy 7, Xenogears, Romance Of The Three Kingdoms, Jet Moto, Gran Turismo, Tekken 2 and 3, Twisted Metal, Armored Core, Civilization 2 and Command And Conquer and Red Alert.

Obviously not all at once, since I don't ave tat kinda cash but I figure I can start with 3-4.

[–]JamieOFlanagan 1 point2 points ago

Get a ps2 just as cheap and play all those games aswell as ps2 classics.

[–]Offensive_Brute[S] -1 points0 points ago

if i recall correctly the ps2 couldnt play a lot of the older psone games.

[–]BlueMaxima 0 points1 point ago

Emulator?

[–]Offensive_Brute[S] -1 points0 points ago

nah,I'm no good at keyboard gaming. i need a controller for everything but the most basic JRPGs

[–]Bin-able 2 points3 points ago

Are you avoiding the question on purpose? Please don't assume we are all psychic, AND TELL US HOW YOU FEEL THIS GAME CHANGED GAMING!!!!!! That's what your fucking post is about, dude!

Damn! This happens all the fucking time on reddit.

Theory of mind, people: We don't all know what you know!

I never imagined the impact this single game would have on gaming.

And what impact did it have on gaming? I don't recall any game trying to be anything like this.

[–]Offensive_Brute[S] -3 points-2 points ago

except pretty much all of the most popular FPS war games are more like this game than the old FPS games.

[–]Bin-able 0 points1 point ago

Wow. You're a fucking idiot if that's your answer.

so essentially,

"games made after this game were more similar to it than to older FPS games."

Genius...

[–]Offensive_Brute[S] -2 points-1 points ago

what the fuck do I care about what you think faggot, I'm not the one asking you questions. A lot of other people understand exactly wtf I was talking about retard.

[–]Bin-able -1 points0 points ago

No.

You made no sense at any point, and no one understood you: You never answered how this game changed gaming.

Glad to know I got under your skin, though; you deserve it!

[–]Offensive_Brute[S] -1 points0 points ago

everyone but you did.

[–]Bin-able 0 points1 point ago

Then explain it to me real simple, please. I want to know.

I actually think you lack the ability to distill your thoughts on the game into a coherent paragraph. Prove me wrong, kiddo.

[–]BlueMaxima 0 points1 point ago

Wired 360 controller hooks in to most emulators out of the box...

The catacombs... Dear science... The catacombs man! That game was seriously good.

[–]theorganicpanic 1 point2 points ago

I was too young to get immersed into the actual story line, so I played split screen by myself and shot at windows pretending there were enemies in them... that game was kick ass...

[–]theVice 1 point2 points ago

Air taser!!

[–]JWL1092 1 point2 points ago

TAZER ALL THE THINGS

[–]Graveforest 1 point2 points ago

I liked that the knife attack motion lasted 5 seconds, and the guy could be 10 meters away when he'd suddenly just collapse and die instantly. So many faults in the game, but I played the hell out of it.

[–]EnglishKiniggit 1 point2 points ago

Favorite level...subway station.

[–]Offensive_Brute[S] -1 points0 points ago

mine was the museum.

[–]Athildur 0 points1 point ago

I played this game! Oh gosh. I almost forgot how much fun it was to tase people...kekeke.

[–]Chainbrain 0 points1 point ago

Original theme. So many memories.

[–]Sharkzilla 0 points1 point ago

I still have mine if anybody wants it

[–]Bwolfyo 0 points1 point ago

Tasering monks. Yeeehaaw!

[–]Nintenoob 0 points1 point ago

Ha I remember this game, I still have it too. I also have syphon filter 2

[–]bigotkillerx 0 points1 point ago

The game that got me into third person shooters.
