I miss horrendous dumb games like Ride to hell: Retribution. It's sort of like watching bad movies. It's fun to play these types of games with friends and laugh at how retarded they are. I'm seeing less of these games nowadays, or maybe it's just that I have less time for gaming nowadays so I play the quality games only each year and I don't look for them as much as before. 

Old post, but I get what you mean. The “so bad it’s good” craze is almost a thing of the past now. Although it’s probably a good thing as far as quality goes that developers have stepped up.

 

Still I remember games from the 90s that were so cheesy and lame even back then I couldn’t help, but laugh. Dumpster fires like Ride To Hell are like sh*tty, but utterly hilarious movies like Birdemic: Shock & Terror or Plan 9 From Outer Space.

Wolfenstein New Order and the sequel New Colossus have that, you can dual wield pistols, assault rifle, shotguns and knifes. Also RDR2 allows you to dual wield revolvers and pistols

 

Oh. Well.. hooray! I assumed that when Lara Croft and Agent 47 stopped dual wielding, then the rest of the industry would follow suit. Good to know its still around, even if it is in just a handful of games today - probably not enough to call it trend anymore anyway.

I just miss when dual wielding used to be in almost every game. Any game under the sun where you could wield weapons, the ability the wield two of them was almost part and parcel every time. I don't know, maybe I've watched The Matrix and John Woo's filmography too many times.

I miss when everyone used to talk in game chat in Multiplayer. Now everybody talks in party chat/discord etc.
