"If you’ve been with us for awhile, then you know that we love trophies and achievements. Hoarding aside, they are fun little incentives to spend some extra time with the games that we enjoy (and some that we don’t), or at least… they are supposed to be. All too often, game developers entirely miss the point. Some of them feel that trophies and achievements are simply an opportunity to fuck with their fans.
Sure, we call them “achievements” for a reason and you don’t usually get trophies for trivial things like blowing your nose (unless you’re really fucking amazing at it) but video games are supposed to provide fun experiences. In no way should “challenging” mean “torturous” or especially “mind-numbingly dull” when it comes to gaming. Yet, it often does so we feel like we need to help developers out with a few pointers:"
Whether due to publisher deals gone sour, licenses expiring, feuds between developer and publisher and other reasons entirely, there’s a wide range of games that you just can’t buy digitally anymore.
No One Lives Forever 1+2 is on Internet Archive for free.

Torrents are there. I actually have the original CD's from NOLF 2, never going to part with them.😁
@Cacabunga
While i have a disc with the game, i was able to find it on a torrent ru tracker with at least 3 people seeding right now and it was downloaded 450+ times.
I wouldn't send a link (so i wouldn't get banned). But, i think, torrent or P2P are probably the last mostly reliable way to find old games no one cares about. I was able to find «Fable» there. Not the Lionhearts' Fable, but very old point-n-click adventure.
I still have my PS3 copy of Spec Ops, Battlefield Bad Company 1&2 & Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1/2.
Planning to replay those and a few others, but the controls feel so loose now compared to modern games.
Change the title to: Amazing Games That Have Been Abandoned by Stupid Publishers Who Don't Care About their Legacy, so You Should Pirate and Enjoy them.
Okay, maybe that title was a bit too long. 😅
I missed out on the chance to buy BFBC1 on Xbox and I just want to kick myself silly. One of the best PS3 experience of my life. The feeling, impact, sound design of this game was leagues better than BF games that followed
Download the Mandalorian DLC Character Mod for Mortal Kombat 9 and play as Din Djarin. Epic crossovers, brutal fatalities, and unique moves await!
Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."
Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.
That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.
The catched the woke virus after that, saying for MK 10 that "Female Characters Will Be More Realistically Proportioned". You could still rip a spine or blow a head in a bloody explosion, but don't you dare to show a side boob or all hell will break loose.
The ladies in MK9 look like men in drag. They are so buff and their faces are so bad, I don’t feel like we lost anything aside from some sexy costumes. But sexy costumes in drags do not appeal to me.
Any "online" ones to me
I don't see why I have to be forced to play online to complete a games achievement/trophy list
I don't mind if they were separate and they didn't count towards the games total or to get the Platinum but honestly it's just annoying
EA shouldn't have any online trophies on their games because they shut down servers. I'll never get get 1000GS on my Fifa 11 now!
I agree with online trophies. They are hard to get and i have bad internet brandwdth so it always disconnects.
I dont look to achivements to enjoy a game,and actually if they never existed i would not miss them.But in the name of people that think achivements make there games and gaming better i think online only achivements should end.Or make the achivements that you must unlock online also be able to unlock on SP either.Either way the system is broken for achivements and for trophies because there are people that are able to mod and unlock the two reward systems.
I agree with the first point, achievements for completing levels and campaigns are unnecessary.
I like the achievements that actually set the bar higher for the player, such as ones that requires a player to finish a level using certain weapons, without dying, or killing X amount of Y,etc.
