    If I had grandkids I’d sit their ass down on Unreal Tournament and/or Quake. “Today you suffer instagib so that tomorrow you can dominate plebs and their eternal TTKs.”

    • Instagib is why I hate how long it takes to kill in most modern shooters. The first game of Marvel Rivals I tried, I literally glued myself to someone playing as Thor (while I was Rocket) and spent the entire game healing that one Thor while he fought the other team’s Venom and neither of them were ever close to dying.

      Getting the giant nuke, finding the highest fuckoff corner to perch on and then unleashing holy hell on the rest of the map was the highlight of UT99 to be honest

        The Redeemer, and yes, it was always awesome to find and shoot, except when someone manage to fire it off during flight
