Can you do a video on 7 days to die old gen xbox version? I think it's a absolutely amazing game to play with friends but it seems like not as many people play it as a game like that should. It's kind of like a realistic version of minecraft, a sandbox first person survival game.
The military games are fun, but it'd be nice to see videos on strategy and RPG games, too. Empire Earth 2 has had some players buy out the official servers in order to fulfill their own multiplayer city building desires, and Amulets and Armor had a few players create their own online community around the 1997 fantasy RPG game.

Project reality was the birth of the game now known as squad, Glad to see it still has some life in it. A lot of the project reality developers are the ones who made squad.
@@dextroustrout9531 Squad is worse than PR lmao. You get WW2, Vietnam War, Falkland maps, a total of 70 maps, drivable jets, more factions more gamemode and all for free. I love Squad too but they still have a long way to go to be the next PR.

UPDATE: Post Scriptum is no longer dead, with many servers being full to the max with huge waiting cues and at least 1 or 2 full servers 24/7. This is because a new dev has picked it up and the game is going to start receiving updates. And in fact, it already has in mid-late December.
Thank you for covering Post Scriptum, hopefully with your highly addicting series it shall gain even more traction! If you're ever wondering of hoping on and playing more now with the most recent and amazing news you can find more populated servers. Heck, we might even bump into one another on the battlefield. Also Holdfast is such a great game. The community is hilarious and always full of lively characters. Great video once again!

So, I assume you were still unassigned/didn't join a squad. Thus, you couldn't enter the truck. Also, thanks for playing on Sitzkrieg (main German Post Scriptum community server)! If you ever revisit this game, be sure to drop in again, we're open to English-speaking folks as well!
Yeah there are Regiment events, ie Linebattles, sieges with custom maps, Naval, commander battles, melee only completive events, many other different types of completive events
I was in the lobby that day, some of the most fun I have had in a long time. SectorsEdge has potential. Would def check this game out if you're looking for a change of pace. Cheers!
Yeah I have been playing SE for a long time and it's honestly one of my favorite games. It's too bad we were never able to get enough players to play for more than once, otherwise it would have definitely blown up
happy belated birthday legend! I discover your channel like a week ago Rye and OMG I love it so much, I don't know how many videos I have watched already. Really love your videos is always nice to see wholesome moments in every video.
Mate, please keep this series going. It's really interesting to find games I've never heard of, and know there are a few people still playing. I've tried a few out from your recommendations and met some great people on the way. Keep up the great work!
The first 6 months of Post Scriptum was some of the best gaming I've ever had. The sounds, the teamwork, the tactics used. It couldn't be beat, Squad only fills a tiny bit of what Post Scriptum was.
I don't typically comment on videos, but please... Continue this series. It's by far my most anticipated uploads I have found on TH-cam. Thank you for putting in this work
Man i love this series so much, it shines light on some incredible games that for some reason or another, have almost died out. Just thinking about all the games i enjoy today which, in a decade or so, will be featured in one of those videos fills me with a sort of bittersweet sadness. Please keep doing these videos, i'm sure you're making some of those players' days and potentially breath fresh life into some of these titles, because a few of your viewers might potentially try these games out themselves.
I've never seen sectors edge, but it looks really fun and the creator looks like a cool guy. I'll follow their new titles for sure. Thank you for doing these series.
I played Sector's Edge for wuite some time when it released and time and time again over the course of its life time. Unfortunately, most of the time servers were empty. I sometimes remained online in servers waiting for people to join and that worked quite well tbh. It's just a fun game. It can get absolutely crazy or just plain ol' sweaty. Fun all the way. Can't wait for it to retrun. Thank you and this community for letting it live one last time
G'day from Australia mate. Just came across your channel last night and have already binged watched over a dozen videos. You've got me interested in looking into some of these games, can't wait to binge watch another doz videos today
Do the project nomads, one of the most unforgotten and popular during the early 2000s, if someone forgot this game ill remind you this game its a most unique scifi genre in early years best story games and multiplayer (its a floating islands with crazy traitor wizard) if you ask any dudes whom play during that time like me they would still remember it. Damn time flies i must be old xD
Holdfast really shines in its more organized private server battles. They have regiments that have their own servers and have daily organized battles against each other with kinda "roleplayish" rules.
Wow, you did Project Reality! Have been playing PR since it came out after finishing off with Battlefield 2, can confirm. The community is amazing, lots of love to everyone still playing.
sector's edge had insane potential.. but yea i dont blame them having to maintain a game like that while only having a few people on your team is pretty hard
I only recently started playing holdfast about a year or 2 ago, and man i love it. The people ive met, the experiences ive had. No matter what there is always something new even when the setting is the same (and even when they arent with mods) the community is toxic sometimes but the majority are all just trying to vibe, and its always left a smile on my face.
Sad the Sector's Edge is shutting down, it looks so cool and fun, if only I weas a PC Master Race I could have played it almost like when Halo 3 servers went offline. This game reminds me a lot of Halo it even kinda resembles Halo a little, maybe I'm just projecting. The destruction of the environment in game is wicked cool too. Edit: Points for using Hopes and Dreams, I love that song. My favorite version is the Epic Metal cover.
Love your videos Rye! Have you thought of exploring a game that is dead, but a fan community has kept it alive? Star Wars Galaxies Restoration is a wholesome story of a community keeping a beloved MMO alive well past it's expiration date, and I still play and love the game. Another great video idea for you is NVMP, New Vegas Multiplayer.
i kinda liked the DayZ mod but it was such a MASSIVE pain in the bum to get it running with different game versions, mod versions, server versions.... Everytime i tried to visit some friends in Epoch, the base building version of DayZ, it took me an hour of fiddling to get in. I then proceeded to crashing their helicopter, still have a video of it somewhere here. Sad to see the OG version slowly go, it's a piece of gaming (modding) history second only to things like Counterstrike. But you can't expect a big crowd to put up with this (multiplayer/mod wise) badly outdated experience. And similar mods exist for Arma 3 and DayZ standalone, which are far from perfect but SOOO much more convnient to use. As for recommendations, for a while Arma 3 (and2 before) life sim mods were a big deal. Altis Life for example. GTA 5 has jumped that train. Also Arma 3 had a Battle Royal mod before BR was cool. I think it helped start this hype. I wonder how that is doing.
Man the armA one hurt right in the Meow meow. Played the better of 3-4 years with my friends and a gaming clan i joined through it. So many different DayZ variants but some of the best gaming time i ever had.
It's really sad because when I downloaded it 2 years ago it seems like there was an active server with 20~ players on, but it seems to have shut down. One of my favourite childhood games and it defined the whole survival genre for me.
Thank you for showing us some fun games and also supporting these games by promoting them on your TH-cam and showing us the small yet friendly community they have :D
Post Scriptum is so damn good, too. And, luckily, the Squad developers, OWI, bought it and now it's got some real traction and is blowing up again. It did start as a mod for Squad, so the dev team is having zero problems jumping into it and adding content. It's also interesting that you have Project Reality in this same video as the dev team that made Squad started on PR. I love all three of those games.
I love that you put SH music in the video, I can def see a "Forgotten games" series starting with "forgotten survival horror games" with SH inspired games
I love how Rye does plenty of research when playing these games, allowing us to have context as to why these games are dead rather than just randomly playing games that have no players in it. It shows developers that their games still have plenty of value despite low player counts.
that last one on Dayz was so god damned wholesome! I always wondered why I watched these videos its not like im ever gonna play these games but watching you chill with a guy like that was nice and i think its when you find moments like that that keep me coming back.
I love that you end up talking about the people keeping these games alive as much as the games themselves. Always a great watch. Happy belated b-day Toaster!
was a fun surprise to see Sectors Edge, still remember the fun I had both playing on and helping on the game here and there, was my first actual work in proper game dev
Holdfast is still awesome. Not as many people on mic, but it’s still a great game. It’s the most fun dying simulator I’ve ever played. You can’t hit the broad side of a barn, and it doesn’t matter.
Hi Rye, thank you for playing sectors edge. Its been probably my favourite fps ever since it released, and I’ve loved every second of being in its community, including having the opportunity to have my map cold harbour added to the map pool, so to see such a respectful send off is wonderful ❤️ If I’m honest I had misjudged the tone of your videos before I had even watched them, but now that I have I think I will be staying around to watch more! Many thanks rye!
Seeing DayZ as the Arma 2 mod and not the current stand alone brought me back. So many good memories on that game. I love the new DayZ just as much but the jank in the old one is so nostalgic
11:02 daaaamn that hits. Love to see it. Glad that dev got to have such a nice send off to his game! Cheers and definitely gonna check out anything strategy related. And survival too. 15:37 aaaah yes mister freeze/yeti are amazing. Specially mid a hot summer~ Happy very much late birthday to that one guy!
I love this series, it reminds me of being a kid and browsing random free or really cheap games on steam because I didn't have money for the big and popular games of the time and I'd end up spending my time in weird, niche online games which usually had incredible communities! Also I'd love to throw a recommendation for the next episode: Xonotic, it's a community made game meant to be a spiritual successor to unreal tournament, it has a tragically tiny player base but it is so much fun if you give it the time to get into it! If you were able to get a full server I can't imagine the chaos haha
I love this series so much, I wanted to do something similar many years ago, but didn't have the community to bring up the server numbers. Bet you realy made the devs day when they say that huge spike in player counts.
Hahah Webster....I told everyone as long as he stayed around the game would make a comeback. The things that guy can do with a squad in the game are sensational...he is incredible.
If anyone wants a really cool experience or an awesome way to get into a great community quickly I'd advice getting a fighting game, joining a discord server for it and checking in they have any "mentoring" system in the server, if you can get someone who's really good to sit you down and teach you the game it is one of my favorite gaming memories how me and this one guy spent weeks playing matches against each other as he taught me how to get good and after that I actually got into a fighting game, something I never thought I'd have the patience or skill to do
What I love about lower population games is the people who still play them genuinely love the game and love playing. They're not just chasing the FOTM trends.
It seemed like back in the day people stuck with games but now it seems people just keep jumping to the newest thing, like they have ADHD or something. I also think the move from servers to matchmaking also helped this trend. Back in the day you'd find an awesome server with cool people and stick around and now everything is just matchmaking and it really does suck. Now games with a thousand players on it are considered "dead." Are people just spoiled ? Same people call an 8/10 game "mid."
PR was a game I played hundreds of hours of. Some of my favorite moments were planting IEDs next to US FOB and killing multiple squads. At it peak we had 1000+ players consistently. But that was almost 10 years ago now
Sectors edge has a unreal tournament feel to it with added destruction i would of loved that game I will add the game to my watchlist for the future news one day
Not sure if you know this but Post Scritpum has been brought back from the dead as of this past week! It was purchased by the developers of Squad and is finally being given the love and attention it needs to thrive. Currently there are 8+ US servers (also loads of EU) that have queue times and several that are popped. It's my favorite WW2 shooter that focuses on historical realism.
Post Scriptum isn't dead yet! OWI(squad) just bought the game and hired a well respected mod team to further develop the game. The player count has increase dramatically, might be the biggest video game comeback ever! So glad, the game is truly great and deserves to live.
Watching this series reminded me of one of the games i used to play back in the day which has no more than 100 player usually now. It's called "Red Orchestra 2" sadly enough when I got it the first one was already very dead but at least I could play in this one quite a bit when it was in it's peak. Really loved it and the atmosphere it always had (and still has) , maybe you or anyone reading this would like to try it for themselves too :)
I think that even tho the game has it's years already and that there are usually only like 2-3 servers fully filled with people (the rest is usually full of bots and ocasionally few players) it's still worth giving a try :) I like to come back to it once in a while because it has a really unique (in a good way) atmosphere and the voice lines are pretty good too, not to mention that it has also some uncommon interesting mechanics (for example when you zoom in with a weapon with a scope only the view through the scope is zoomed on and the rest around it is not) It also had and singleplayer campaign but from what I remember it was very buggy so the devs (sadly) took it away and now there's only multi. The rising stom "part" of it is really fun too (especially when you get a full lobby of players and then make a banzai charge with a katana in your hand ^^) tho I haven't played in it as much as in the normal RO2 "part" of the game (mainly coz of this that I just like it more)@@rockinatmidnight
I enjoyed Mean Greens, had full lobbies a couple of years ago. I went to play it again and was sad to see it basically dead. It's a very casual fun shooter, reminds me of ps1 ps2 era of simple fun gameplay.
Not sure if it's dead enough. In my teens, I played Gunz: the duel. You might want to check it out. Some pp tried to hype it up last year (2022), but I did not want to spend week relearning the differents tricks like butterfly or half-dashes or wall climb.
@@Gatorade69 it was because the moveset were not sequences of buttons, but frame perfect input and animations cancel. butterfly was jump + dash + sword slash and block at the same time. half dash or half step is crazy like jump+dash+slash+weapon swap+dash+shoot+swordswap. and those are the basic of the basic to join clans
These videos are so wholesome. Those hardcore holdout players make games like this so fun, the excitement they get from new players joining is palpable.
One of my favorite series to watch and rediscover games I used to play back in when I had a laptop from 2007 with the worst specs! Also, love the Xenoblade music you put in the background!
Holdfast is more known for it's private communities/line battles, Often there are only 100-200 some on public/unlocked/non whitelist server to encourage a more competitive atmosphere outside of the relatively casual standard play. (Which is 7-20 people in your spawn just chilling playing VRC/Voipspamming webms in Holdfast.) The lack of rated/competitive servers really lead to the unfortunate decline of Holdfast. The Free WW1 DLC aspect that was added after initial release was a neat unique dev difference but unfortunately it was too little too late.
As someone with well over 2000 hours in DayZ mod back in my school days, you Visiting that mod again sure was a nostalgia trip :) Good memories with good friends. And ive probably permanently damaged my eyes with the maxed out gamma to See at night 😄😄
It's great to see new players playing Arma 2 dayz mod, so many good memories from childhood, raiding bases, pvp'ing... I just wish it had the same player base it used to have. Finding a good server now is impossible 😫

Also, thanks for playing on Sitzkrieg (main German Post Scriptum community server)! If you ever revisit this game, be sure to drop in again, we're open to English-speaking folks as well!
12:21 "Hello my friend, how are you, fine? glad to hear it"
Hold fast is so good! Love how the players role play. You should have shown more of the firing lines and the ship battles are so much fun aswell 😊
im down just to watch him play awhole video on just that game
Yeah there are Regiment events, ie Linebattles, sieges with custom maps, Naval, commander battles, melee only completive events, many other different types of completive events
glad to be a part of this amazing community!
I was in the lobby that day, some of the most fun I have had in a long time. SectorsEdge has potential. Would def check this game out if you're looking for a change of pace. Cheers!
in what game?
@@rodrigoamorim5439 Oh, SectorsEdge
Yeah I have been playing SE for a long time and it's honestly one of my favorite games. It's too bad we were never able to get enough players to play for more than once, otherwise it would have definitely blown up
happy belated birthday legend! I discover your channel like a week ago Rye and OMG I love it so much, I don't know how many videos I have watched already. Really love your videos is always nice to see wholesome moments in every video.
Mate, please keep this series going. It's really interesting to find games I've never heard of, and know there are a few people still playing. I've tried a few out from your recommendations and met some great people on the way. Keep up the great work!
The first 6 months of Post Scriptum was some of the best gaming I've ever had. The sounds, the teamwork, the tactics used. It couldn't be beat, Squad only fills a tiny bit of what Post Scriptum was.
ah yes, back before they had name icons for friendly players! Nothing like checking the uniform to confirm if it's a friendly or not.
I don't typically comment on videos, but please... Continue this series. It's by far my most anticipated uploads I have found on TH-cam. Thank you for putting in this work
Man i love this series so much, it shines light on some incredible games that for some reason or another, have almost died out. Just thinking about all the games i enjoy today which, in a decade or so, will be featured in one of those videos fills me with a sort of bittersweet sadness. Please keep doing these videos, i'm sure you're making some of those players' days and potentially breath fresh life into some of these titles, because a few of your viewers might potentially try these games out themselves.
I've never seen sectors edge, but it looks really fun and the creator looks like a cool guy. I'll follow their new titles for sure. Thank you for doing these series.
I played Sector's Edge for wuite some time when it released and time and time again over the course of its life time. Unfortunately, most of the time servers were empty. I sometimes remained online in servers waiting for people to join and that worked quite well tbh.
It's just a fun game. It can get absolutely crazy or just plain ol' sweaty. Fun all the way.
Can't wait for it to retrun.
Thank you and this community for letting it live one last time
Outstanding content. Thank you for making another great video. Take care Rye
Dude such a smart idea for video. This vid and your channel just poped on my feed for the first time. Keep it up!
Love your videos man there's something so peaceful about them. Keep up the grind bro
G'day from Australia mate. Just came across your channel last night and have already binged watched over a dozen videos. You've got me interested in looking into some of these games, can't wait to binge watch another doz videos today
keep it up bro, i love this series! it's too cozy!
was gonna hop on Sectors Edge with you guys when i saw the discord post, but unfortunately didnt make it. Looks really fun though, great video
yall should acknowledge the pure effort and time put into these comments
Do the project nomads, one of the most unforgotten and popular during the early 2000s, if someone forgot this game ill remind you this game its a most unique scifi genre in early years best story games and multiplayer (its a floating islands with crazy traitor wizard) if you ask any dudes whom play during that time like me they would still remember it.
Damn time flies i must be old xD
Holdfast really shines in its more organized private server battles. They have regiments that have their own servers and have daily organized battles against each other with kinda "roleplayish" rules.
Wow, you did Project Reality! Have been playing PR since it came out after finishing off with Battlefield 2, can confirm. The community is amazing, lots of love to everyone still playing.
Sector's Edge looks like a lot of fun. I wish I had discovered it before.
There's still time before the 7th
@@Americanbadashh17th*
sector's edge had insane potential.. but yea i dont blame them having to maintain a game like that while only having a few people on your team is pretty hard
Rye can you do another Sector's Edge session? i would love to join and maybe try to 100% this great game to honor it before its gone.
I only recently started playing holdfast about a year or 2 ago, and man i love it. The people ive met, the experiences ive had. No matter what there is always something new even when the setting is the same
(and even when they arent with mods) the community is toxic sometimes but the majority are all just trying to vibe, and its always left a smile on my face.
Sad the Sector's Edge is shutting down, it looks so cool and fun, if only I weas a PC Master Race I could have played it almost like when Halo 3 servers went offline. This game reminds me a lot of Halo it even kinda resembles Halo a little, maybe I'm just projecting. The destruction of the environment in game is wicked cool too.
Edit: Points for using Hopes and Dreams, I love that song. My favorite version is the Epic Metal cover.
Love your videos Rye! Have you thought of exploring a game that is dead, but a fan community has kept it alive? Star Wars Galaxies Restoration is a wholesome story of a community keeping a beloved MMO alive well past it's expiration date, and I still play and love the game. Another great video idea for you is NVMP, New Vegas Multiplayer.
I love the impact Rye and his community have had on these game's communities.
i kinda liked the DayZ mod but it was such a MASSIVE pain in the bum to get it running with different game versions, mod versions, server versions....
Everytime i tried to visit some friends in Epoch, the base building version of DayZ, it took me an hour of fiddling to get in.
I then proceeded to crashing their helicopter, still have a video of it somewhere here.
Sad to see the OG version slowly go, it's a piece of gaming (modding) history second only to things like Counterstrike. But you can't expect a big crowd to put up with this (multiplayer/mod wise) badly outdated experience. And similar mods exist for Arma 3 and DayZ standalone, which are far from perfect but SOOO much more convnient to use.
As for recommendations, for a while Arma 3 (and2 before) life sim mods were a big deal. Altis Life for example. GTA 5 has jumped that train. Also Arma 3 had a Battle Royal mod before BR was cool. I think it helped start this hype. I wonder how that is doing.
I played PR from 2005 until Squads first early access release. Some of my core game memories are playing PR with the boys. It's incredible.
10:27 I blew up the staircase :)
Holdfast holds a special place in my heart. its got a strange community of a variety of ages. i love it and will always return.
Just ate dinner but I'm always happy with an hour of rye
I have been watching your channel for the past few hours. How you don't get more people to enjoy this channel? You deserve more buddy
Man the armA one hurt right in the Meow meow.
Played the better of 3-4 years with my friends and a gaming clan i joined through it.
So many different DayZ variants but some of the best gaming time i ever had.
It's really sad because when I downloaded it 2 years ago it seems like there was an active server with 20~ players on, but it seems to have shut down. One of my favourite childhood games and it defined the whole survival genre for me.
@@Exanae DayZ Europa was the GOAT
@@Exanaenah there still are servers you just need to download the dayz launcher and not do it through the steam mod
Thank you for showing us some fun games and also supporting these games by promoting them on your TH-cam and showing us the small yet friendly community they have :D
Battlefield heroes
Omg I'm not really a binge watcher but these videos of dead games are so good 😂 the player interactions and the weird random comedy is awesome.
It's honestly heart-warming to see that with such small communities where every players matters how nice and friendly and communicative everyone is.
The best part of these videos is the people you meet. It’s what gaming is about, these friendships and memories it’s wonderful.
Post Scriptum is so damn good, too. And, luckily, the Squad developers, OWI, bought it and now it's got some real traction and is blowing up again. It did start as a mod for Squad, so the dev team is having zero problems jumping into it and adding content.
It's also interesting that you have Project Reality in this same video as the dev team that made Squad started on PR. I love all three of those games.
I love that you put SH music in the video, I can def see a "Forgotten games" series starting with "forgotten survival horror games" with SH inspired games
I WANT YOU TO PLAY either dead island 2 or any survival game with this lovely random you met in this game , PLEASE MAN
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BTW !!!!
I love how Rye does plenty of research when playing these games, allowing us to have context as to why these games are dead rather than just randomly playing games that have no players in it. It shows developers that their games still have plenty of value despite low player counts.
that last one on Dayz was so god damned wholesome! I always wondered why I watched these videos its not like im ever gonna play these games but watching you chill with a guy like that was nice and i think its when you find moments like that that keep me coming back.
I love that you end up talking about the people keeping these games alive as much as the games themselves. Always a great watch. Happy belated b-day Toaster!
was a fun surprise to see Sectors Edge, still remember the fun I had both playing on and helping on the game here and there, was my first actual work in proper game dev
Holdfast is still awesome. Not as many people on mic, but it’s still a great game. It’s the most fun dying simulator I’ve ever played. You can’t hit the broad side of a barn, and it doesn’t matter.
Hi Rye, thank you for playing sectors edge. Its been probably my favourite fps ever since it released, and I’ve loved every second of being in its community, including having the opportunity to have my map cold harbour added to the map pool, so to see such a respectful send off is wonderful ❤️ If I’m honest I had misjudged the tone of your videos before I had even watched them, but now that I have I think I will be staying around to watch more! Many thanks rye!
I love this series so much and I love that you’re creating a community. There are so many dead games that deserve to be played
@Rye, when you were on Arma, you had your chat set to group, most arma games have 4-6 chat channels (mostly for larger servers).
Seeing DayZ as the Arma 2 mod and not the current stand alone brought me back. So many good memories on that game. I love the new DayZ just as much but the jank in the old one is so nostalgic
11:02 daaaamn that hits. Love to see it. Glad that dev got to have such a nice send off to his game! Cheers and definitely gonna check out anything strategy related. And survival too.
15:37 aaaah yes mister freeze/yeti are amazing. Specially mid a hot summer~
Happy very much late birthday to that one guy!
I love this series, it reminds me of being a kid and browsing random free or really cheap games on steam because I didn't have money for the big and popular games of the time and I'd end up spending my time in weird, niche online games which usually had incredible communities! Also I'd love to throw a recommendation for the next episode: Xonotic, it's a community made game meant to be a spiritual successor to unreal tournament, it has a tragically tiny player base but it is so much fun if you give it the time to get into it! If you were able to get a full server I can't imagine the chaos haha
I love this series so much, I wanted to do something similar many years ago, but didn't have the community to bring up the server numbers. Bet you realy made the devs day when they say that huge spike in player counts.
Great seeing PR get featured. Always a great game to hop into even if its a bit confusing in the beginning
This is such a cool concept for a series man!
Amazing video surprised your not passed 1 million subscribers yet with this level of quality
Hahah Webster....I told everyone as long as he stayed around the game would make a comeback. The things that guy can do with a squad in the game are sensational...he is incredible.
Really love the Wholesome vibe when you play multiplayer dead games.
If anyone wants a really cool experience or an awesome way to get into a great community quickly I'd advice getting a fighting game, joining a discord server for it and checking in they have any "mentoring" system in the server, if you can get someone who's really good to sit you down and teach you the game it is one of my favorite gaming memories how me and this one guy spent weeks playing matches against each other as he taught me how to get good and after that I actually got into a fighting game, something I never thought I'd have the patience or skill to do
What I love about lower population games is the people who still play them genuinely love the game and love playing. They're not just chasing the FOTM trends.
It seemed like back in the day people stuck with games but now it seems people just keep jumping to the newest thing, like they have ADHD or something. I also think the move from servers to matchmaking also helped this trend. Back in the day you'd find an awesome server with cool people and stick around and now everything is just matchmaking and it really does suck. Now games with a thousand players on it are considered "dead." Are people just spoiled ? Same people call an 8/10 game "mid."
PR was a game I played hundreds of hours of. Some of my favorite moments were planting IEDs next to US FOB and killing multiple squads. At it peak we had 1000+ players consistently. But that was almost 10 years ago now
Dead game series was By FAR the best idea you had
Sectors edge has a unreal tournament feel to it with added destruction i would of loved that game
I will add the game to my watchlist for the future news one day
It looks like great fun
Not sure if you know this but Post Scritpum has been brought back from the dead as of this past week! It was purchased by the developers of Squad and is finally being given the love and attention it needs to thrive. Currently there are 8+ US servers (also loads of EU) that have queue times and several that are popped. It's my favorite WW2 shooter that focuses on historical realism.
Just realized you said this in the video lmao, but to reiterate, POST IS BACK BABY
Try WT3, It was called red crucible firestorm, it was one of my childhood game back when there's facebook gaming
Post Scriptum isn't dead yet! OWI(squad) just bought the game and hired a well respected mod team to further develop the game. The player count has increase dramatically, might be the biggest video game comeback ever! So glad, the game is truly great and deserves to live.
Watching this series reminded me of one of the games i used to play back in the day which has no more than 100 player usually now. It's called "Red Orchestra 2" sadly enough when I got it the first one was already very dead but at least I could play in this one quite a bit when it was in it's peak. Really loved it and the atmosphere it always had (and still has) , maybe you or anyone reading this would like to try it for themselves too :)
Think I got that in a yogscast jinglejam bundle a while back. Always been tempted to fire it up
I think that even tho the game has it's years already and that there are usually only like 2-3 servers fully filled with people (the rest is usually full of bots and ocasionally few players) it's still worth giving a try :)
I like to come back to it once in a while because it has a really unique (in a good way) atmosphere and the voice lines are pretty good too, not to mention that it has also some uncommon interesting mechanics (for example when you zoom in with a weapon with a scope only the view through the scope is zoomed on and the rest around it is not)
It also had and singleplayer campaign but from what I remember it was very buggy so the devs (sadly) took it away and now there's only multi.
The rising stom "part" of it is really fun too (especially when you get a full lobby of players and then make a banzai charge with a katana in your hand ^^) tho I haven't played in it as much as in the normal RO2 "part" of the game (mainly coz of this that I just like it more)@@rockinatmidnight
thanks now i gotta reinstall that, i haven't played that in so long
Dude, Sector's Edge actually looks really damn cool, makes me sad I didn't hear about it before.
Love this series, take your time with it though these videos are so quality it would be a shame to see them rushed out 👍
Btw, the successful milsim Squad was developed by the original team of project reality and they consider it as it’s spiritual successor
I enjoyed Mean Greens, had full lobbies a couple of years ago. I went to play it again and was sad to see it basically dead. It's a very casual fun shooter, reminds me of ps1 ps2 era of simple fun gameplay.
Not sure if it's dead enough. In my teens, I played Gunz: the duel. You might want to check it out. Some pp tried to hype it up last year (2022), but I did not want to spend week relearning the differents tricks like butterfly or half-dashes or wall climb.
I could never figure that game out back when I tried it forever ago.
@@Gatorade69 it was because the moveset were not sequences of buttons, but frame perfect input and animations cancel. butterfly was jump + dash + sword slash and block at the same time. half dash or half step is crazy like jump+dash+slash+weapon swap+dash+shoot+swordswap. and those are the basic of the basic to join clans
These videos are so wholesome. Those hardcore holdout players make games like this so fun, the excitement they get from new players joining is palpable.
I remember a match in PR where my squadmates were talking about tactical rocks, bipods, scope and all that stuff.
Very fun memory.
please dont stop these exploring (dead) games series, i need them for my fuel.. i love them haha!
One of my favorite series to watch and rediscover games I used to play back in when I had a laptop from 2007 with the worst specs! Also, love the Xenoblade music you put in the background!
The thing you experienced in holdfast is being experienced on a daily basis on post scriptum with the right SL.
Nice video.
Holdfast is more known for it's private communities/line battles, Often there are only 100-200 some on public/unlocked/non whitelist server to encourage a more competitive atmosphere outside of the relatively casual standard play. (Which is 7-20 people in your spawn just chilling playing VRC/Voipspamming webms in Holdfast.) The lack of rated/competitive servers really lead to the unfortunate decline of Holdfast. The Free WW1 DLC aspect that was added after initial release was a neat unique dev difference but unfortunately it was too little too late.
I would say the linebattles and other private events is keeping holdfast alive
@@phergas2455 they're really the way the game's 'supposed' to be played (Same with War of Rights and Battlecry of Freedom)
As someone with well over 2000 hours in DayZ mod back in my school days, you Visiting that mod again sure was a nostalgia trip :)
Good memories with good friends.
And ive probably permanently damaged my eyes with the maxed out gamma to See at night 😄😄
It's great to see new players playing Arma 2 dayz mod, so many good memories from childhood, raiding bases, pvp'ing... I just wish it had the same player base it used to have. Finding a good server now is impossible 😫
Project reality is not dead. Still has a great player base and content is still being added! I’ve been on it for over 11 years
Also as previously pointed out, the game “Squad” is the successor to PR. Very similar gameplay mechanics
