Zoomers are crashing the video game industry by playing old games instead of new releases. They are actually going out and buying old games and systems instead of buying current generation gaming hardware. Is there something wrong with Zoomers, or the gaming industry, or is it just a disconnect?
>>524451296$550 for a new console$80 for a new game. x 40 games to have a good catalog. $120 for the basic version of the hardware$400 for the upgraded hardwares.Budget is exactly $0 - 40 a month.new games don't have big ass titties hyper violence or extreme cussing. They do have gender pronouns flat asses and are not mysgonistic. it's better to play a better game at lower resolution than it is to play a worse game with better graphics.
I'm curious what they define as "retro gaming console" because I don't think 1 in 4 zoomers are buying original gameboys. It makes more sense if it includes stuff like "have you ever used an emulator" or if they still have a Wii or a PS2 sitting in a box
>>524451296Recently bought an original 2006 PS3 with custom firmware. Plays PS1, PS2, and PS3 games, Pure kino. I'll be sending it to get a CPU/GPU upgrade soon.
zoomies will never experience the pure joy of a gameboy on a road trip
>>524451296Modern video games are gay, cloud based trash with no creativity and no soul. There is no replacement for buying a physical game and console and playing campaign/solo play. I have a PS2 and N64 and play all the classics. There hans been a single game made in the last 10 years that was worth playing.
>>524451447>I can't play video games because there are no white woman with boba and vageneWhy haven't we range banned India yet?
>>524451296Yeah an escape from the modern era of overpriced woke games that require $4k gaming PC to run at 30fps, just so they can be bombarded with in-app purchase spam and loot boxes or season passes before they beat the first level.
>>524451457At this point I’d say any console that doesn’t have an e-Shop or at least in-app purchases can be considered retro.That probably means GameCube, PS2(3?) and Xbox360 as a cutoff.
>>524451569You mean trying to play it awkwardly in the light, hoping you didn’t run out of batteries and have to beg your parents for more AAs.
>>524451575>inb4 50+ astroturfed responses disagreeing with you and insulting you on account of your opinion while also providing no proof to the contrary This. Industry plants have become super predictable.
>>524451813challenges build character
>make gaming super expensive>hire women and minorites >they produce shit>"Why don't people play shit?
>>524451296the games I played this year weren't barely even noticed in the games media>schedule 1>military incremental complex>megabonk>contraband policeand I'm old as fuck, triple a games are dead
>>524451849>anyone who disagrees is an industry plantFaggot worldview
Oh no no no loot box sales sisters! How will we grow our recurring revenue if the zoomers aren't paying per play? And with USAID running out this year too! Argh!This is antisemitic, how can we use the media to tell people that playing old video games is vile and antisemitic?
>>524451296Jews like (((Bobby Kotick))) turned video games into gambling/microtransaction laden dogshit with on-disc day-one DLC, and "competitive" server locked bullshitI grab an old game and upscale it with and emulator, and just enjoy myself
>>524451989Self awareness level: Shitjeet
Zoomers need to learn about CRTs and capacitor replacement.
>>524451296>Zoomers are crashing the video game industry by playing old games instead of new releases.the only based thing they have ever done in their entire livesTOTAL NU-GAYMING DEATHTOTAL SNOY DEATHTOTAL DEI DEATH
>>524451296>Is there something wrong with zoomers?The fact that you even thought this was a question worth asking, indicates to me that you are a dog-shit eating retard, who should be clubbed to death in front of his parents, as a warning to never reproduce again.
>>524451989Ahhh right on time with insults. Let me guess? Dustborne heckin rocked?? So fucking predictable. All fucking Canadians can fucking hang.
>>524452028They do it via women, to talk shit about men who play games. Of course everything in moderation but nothing wrong with it as a hobby.
I doubt they're buying actual old hardware.My guess is that they're using chinese emulation devices that look like gameboys.
>>524451296It will only become more like this with Gen Alpha. They have a massive library, years and years and years of amazing games they can play almost forever. No need for modern slop. My guess is emulation will be cracked down on hard in the coming future and all old games will become very inaccessible to force gamers to buy new shit
>>524451457they're buying chinkhelds. like everyone else isit's hilariously insane that all the major nu-gayming companies, especially valve of all people, are not only not realizing this but not capitalizing onnit, especially when valve are THE MOST POISED OUT OF ANYONE to capitalize on this painfully obvious trend
>>524451296Old games are unironically better.
>>524451296Games were better back in the day and I'm not even a boomer. I grew up in the early 2000s playing all the best shit. Every GTA before 4/5, bully, cod Bo1/WaW, DBZ BT and budokai, God hand, fable, jet set radio, Naruto ultimate ninja, fallout new vegas.New games just don't compare.
>>524451296>no ads>no online subscriptions>actually own the product, servers won't randomly shut down one day>every game post like 2014 has some form of gayness in it>games were released in their entirety for the most part, didn't need DLC>can play without internet>the handhelds are actually handhelds. Try fitting a nintendo switch in your pocket compared to a ds, gameboy, pspit's really not surprising. a lot of things in society being glaze and say that only nostalgia makes it good. for videogames thats not the case, older games are unironically better and it's not even up for debate.
I have a retroid pocket 4 pro.it's cool to be able to play PS2/gamecube games on something so small.
>>524451474You can upgrade consoles specs??? Does that actually work, like you can get better resolution, textures and frame rates on console?
>>524451866The only new game I’ve played this year is star sector
>>524451296>thanks to zoomersNope, it never went anywhere in the first place. Plus, it was mostly millennials who preserved and dumped retro ROMs.
>>524452204They are. I was repairing Gameboys for a bit and reselling. They go for decent money especially if you replace the screens with modern IPS ones. The SPs are the most desirable. GameGears sell too but not nearly as much as the Gameboys.Sega Genesis (Megadrive) and SNES sell for decent cash now and N64 is popping off. You do have people who buy Ambernics and emulate instead, or go with Analogues FPGA consoles which are awesome but not the easiest to acquire.You’re gonna see PS1 resurgence very soon too with FPGA advances and MiSTeR core.
>>524451296You can get Skyrim legendary edition, download an HD modlist and play an objectively better game with better graphics than 99% of games out there.
>>524451575SNES was peak, though I will agree the PS2/GameCube era was a secondary peak
Good for them. I emulate but kept all my old games and consoles.
>>524452218Doubt it. There’s a huge market for counterfeit game carts for these systems. Even China has gotten in on it, go look at N64 games on Aliexpress. With stuff like the Analogue 3D and upcoming Mega64 they know people are buying up physical carts but don’t want to pay crazy prices for original games.
We had a lot of friends and family over for xmas and in the den I had the usual systems set up if anyone wanted and in the foyer had hooked up and old Atari Flashback mini system i had for the little kids to keep them amused. Lemme tell ya. Fuckin everyone was playing that atari during the course of the day, no one bothered with the modern consoles. They were having pong wars and shooting each other in outlaw and combat screaming :YOU CHEATED, GO AGAIN!:! was kinda awesome.
>>524451296Let's turn video games from "Game Boy" into "Job Boy". where you do a real job in the game and you drive the robots that do the work via the human commands. https://x.com/VoteLambright/status/2004982047765655989
>>524451296You have to get HR training to not offend NPCs in new games, I prefer video games to ne less realistic.
>>524452329Yea. It's usually not a major difference because you can really only do so much without upgrading the entire motherboard. It's mainly just for load times
>>524452414Skyrim is not a good game. Even AAA slop delivers a better overall experience than that mess.
>>524452329With certain consoles, yes. In this case, the mod is putting the GPU/CPU from a super-slim PS3 (the final, best-performing model) into a fat PS3 (the original, backwards compatible model). Gives you the benefits of both.
>>524452204they are doing both. In terms of actual old hardware, 3DS sell like hot cakes because they have internet access, a large game library, and modding them is pretty easy.
are zoomers too retarded to download an emulator?i really hope they arent actually buying older physical with how ridiculously inflated it is
>>524451296Awesome, I hope it dies.
>>52445247816-bit console war era was first peak (Sega versus Nintendo)early 3d was second peak with PlayStation 1 and N64refined 3d was the third peak with PS2, GC, and original XboxAfter that the leaps were not as drastic and mind blowing across generations. And physical ownership dwindled as digital storefronts and “day zero” patches become the norm.
I quit playing during the PSX era
>>524451296i original gameboys werent stupid expensive id get one for my young kids (7-9 years) because they like the simpler older games like tetris etc. ive got a couple old LCD games (you know the sort - just one game etc) and those are a hit without being like modern games. i'll consider giving them an old smart phone with just a couple games on it before too long because those are cheap and you can load gameboy emulators on them easily. just lacks the nice tactile buttons.
>>524451575Play Outer Wilds
>>524452524Yup, couch co-op (or versus) is just something you can’t replace. I do that every year with my consoles and it’s a blast for all age groups.
The PS2 is the undefeated king.
>>524452524they are generally just more fun, more simple, more about playing. less bullshit and less over the top graphics distracting from it all.
>>524452578That should be a game. It’s kinda like Schedule 1 but the tutorial is absurd HR training and you practice what “not” to do.
>>524451296Im replaying Kingdom hearts 2 on the emulator.
Is the newest Civilization game good or woke?Can I make a Civ that fights against the jews?
>>524451296You seem confused. No, there’s nothing wrong with playing games that are perfectly fine to play. There are countless SNES games that are way better than anything that exists now. You are stupid if you think old games are bad games. Silly human thinking that the newest thing is always the best thing, for example, yourself. Since you’re not intelligent enough to understand what those words mean, I have to tell you that it means that ancient humans from thousands of years ago were literally more intelligent and insightful than you are because they were not surrounded by so many distractions which made them helpless and ignorant. Moron.
>>524451296Look at the shit the gaming market produces and wild as fuck hardware it requires. I'm back to my PS1 too.
>>524452802>The console from when I was 13 is the undefeated king.
>>5244517763 had the playstation store on it, it's just that downloading anything off of it took forever.
>>524452700>are zoomers too retarded to download an emulator?Probably. Physical is usually worth it if you already had the console to begin with as a kid, and are just expanding an already existing library. That, or if you're putting CFW on it so that you can save by torrenting the games.
>>524451622You're just gay, anon.
>>524452723I saw first 3D consoles as a Renaissance but not a peak. Games on PS2/GC/XBOX were so much better than N64/PS that it was hard to go back to most of them, much like how SNES was so peak it obsoleted most of NES' library
>>524451447video game graphics now is repulsive, I don't know how it's considered better. all that face scanning is unbearable too.
>>524452526just like my hikikomori robot cafe in japan
>buying old systemsBecause despite being online nearly 24/7 they don't know how to download an emulator and roms/romhacks.
>Is there something wrong ... the gaming industryWHY DONT YOU WANT MY TRIPLE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY GAMES FILLED WITH BUGS AND MONETIZED PURCHASES SAAAAR
I Am The Father of Gaming.I designed it.I tested the first Commodore VIC-20 with VIC-1530/C2N.I wrote the first real games in BASIC.I still have a warehouse with an IBM 701.I have another warehouse with multiple units of any platform or game ever created.I am in a nursing home and will be entering The Dark Void soon.You have all been examined closely and been found unworthy of such a bequeathment, therefore I have instructed my attorneys to ensure all components are recycled and processed for precious metals with tight security on site.The metals recovered will be donated to a K9 rescue, as they are the only ones worthy.Have a Happy New Year and hopefully I won't see any of you on the other side.
>>524451296Zoomers have no appreciation for old games or consoles. They only collect it to show off.
>>524451457There's a thousand and one Chinese clone "retro emulator" consoles.
>>524453116Yeah graphically for sure but I think the PS1 really showed how good some games could be like Metal Gear Solid, FF7/8, etc.N64 is where multiplayer took off. A console that shipped with 4 controller ports and a huge library of multiplayer games that usually offered couch co-op or versus modes. It was the console that if you had a sleepover, everyone was getting to play all night long.
>>524451296>ZoomersYou mean faggots and women have driven the zoomers back to peak gaming?Yeah nobody wants gay niggers in their games
>>524451866So basically you only play games that asmongold shills for
>>524451569>>524451813I grew up with the original GameBoy and now I play Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links on my phone it’s dope
people can't afford videogames anymore. speaking of i nearly forgot to say thank you to trump today
>>524453139Bugs are the least of my worries. Every great Bethesda game was riddled with them, sometimes to very comedic results.It’s the woke gay tranny shit in all of them. Even with D2R the freaks at Blizzard couldn’t help themselves.
>>524451622>IndiaAre faggots really this out of touch with what gamers want? Of what regular guys like?>Give me more niggers and faggots in my games please ma’am.I can’t stand jeets but they win on this one faggot
>>524453420Just wait until the next gen of consoles that cost $1k+ because RAM prices are still through the roof.
>>524453136Being online 24/7 on social media and being online 24/7 just surfing the web are two different things thoughie.
>>524451813>he didn't have one of those attachments that gave you a screen light
>>524451457It's mostly because there are a ton of cheap Chinese handheld devices that cost $50-100 and are good enough to emulate pretty much every retro console and handheld gaming device up to the PS1/N64 generation. Zoomers are all broke and can't afford a new gaming PC and GPU or current gen console. But for the price of one AAA game, they can have thousands of retro games.
I just play old games via emulator that I pirate. I have a really huge collection and it takes up almost no space.
Gammer gate won.
>>524453587Those cheap consoles will not emulate N64 to any enjoyable degree. There is a reason that historically that console has been a tricky one due to the architecture and high bandwidth bus used.
>>524453336>this youtuber I hate is the the ONLY person who ever plays gamesokay, have a happy life anon
>>524451296I bought a Genesis and two dozen games years ago. I should test it and sell it if it works, it's taking up space.
Goes to show..gen z is nothing but copying and pasting older generations. Yet again..the only generation that doesnt have its own "thing." Clothes, music, style...its literally the past 2 generations into 1. Most unoriginal pieces of lazy shit ive ever seen. They are the ones who push using AI the most. No brain..no touching grass..just copy and paste
>>524453680Nintendo really fucked themselves by not having Virtual Console on the Switch. At one point the Wii had more N64 games than Nintendo Switch Online.
>>524453680You can buy a handheld for $100 that will emulate up to PS1 and N64 no problem. For $200 you can emulate Gamecube/Wii/PS2 games and many Switch games. I have one
>>524451296Modern games are utter Hollywood-tier shit
>>524451569I'm an oldfag and remember back in the early-mid '90s being on a school trip somewhere playing my Gameboy. Then one of the cool kids pulled out his new Sega GameGear with the backlit color screen and it was unbelievable. He also had the attachment that fit into the game cartridge slot that had an antenna and tuner that turned the Game Gear into a portable color tv, and we were on the bus going down the highway watching some broadcast tv show and it was like holy shit we are living in the future.
>>524451296
>>524453822you will get a lot of money for it especially nowadays since everyone and their grandma is an INVESTOOOOR now
>>524451296That is very anti-Ukrainian and pro-Trump to do what zoomers do.
>>524453822They are pretty bulletproof like a lot of consoles from that era. No moving parts, any fault is usually a bad capacitor or cracked solder joint. Easy fixes on those boards with through hole components. Great game library, probably my favorite from my childhood.The original systems (Mk1) are desirable especially the ones that are labeled “high definition graphics”. There’s no major difference but the audio and video output is much more true on them since they’re the early models before some cheapening of parts. You can tell by listening to the Streets of Rage music on them, much muddier FM synth on the later models.
Since I'm dying in a nursing home I had an assistant send me some snaps from inside The Warehouse.It will all be recycled upon my passing
Frfr ong I was playin fortnite last night and it was so comfy. Reminded me of growing up. Retro games slap still. Rocket league is better than anything that came out this year.
>>524453587they look pretty good. well priced too. thanks
>>524451296Gameboy isn’t that great anywayIt’s js okayI already played all of it anyway it did have a few good ones
>>524454113lol yeah. i could never afford that plug in TV thing but i was playing master system games on it. was great. fucker ate those AA batteries though
I WILL PAY 999999 DOLLARS FOR YOUR YELLOWED OLD DINOSAUR BOX!!!!!! IM INVOOOOOSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>524454260You should get buried with one of them, aliens might choose to resurrect you to explain the games
>>524451296can you blame them modern games suck
>>524451622You’re the problem here in this thread thoughbeit
>>524451296What a bunch of losers. I have a drawer full of gba and DS games. A PlayStation 2 and games I never play. A Genesis and like 40 games I never play. A Wii I never play with like 30 games. An n64 with like 15 games I never play. Still playing Shandalar on my old PC which I haven’t upgraded since I bought it.Zoomers are hilarious. All this bullshit only to end up running around paying top dollar just to pick up the same consoles I was fucking not even playing at my own leisure. I never understood the desire to rush out and get the latest shitty gaming device. The last time I actually did that was the DS because it was fucking cool when it was new. And did new shit. And wasn’t that expensive desu. I was given the ps2 and Wii. And sometimes I will bust out a game if I decide I really do want to play, but there’s no rush. Got plenty of other shit to do as well. I do NOT need the next shiny fucking thing. I have about 50 games here I can play whenever I want. And new games aren’t much better, in fact probably worse in most cases.
>>524454260I’m glad you corrected 1/2 to “1 of 2”. Wouldn’t want anyone to think there’s just half a Super Nintendo in there.
>>524451296I can't wait for new brand new PC-98 games.
>>524451296Super nintendo was peak gaming. It’s was pure fun.
>>524454113Then Nintendo won and sega with all the risk and innovation died and we're left with nintenslop. Grim timeline
>>524452224the chinks manufacture hardware to run abandonware because they don't give a shit. valve would invest in production, then open itself to a gorillion lawsuits over a single patented, brain-dead simple chip.
>>524453587I'm playing this on a switch.
>>524451296The "industry" has been crashing since the 1990s at least. Piss off faggot.
>>524454113>>524454364yeah, 6 of them. That's why i bought a power supply, but that defeated the meaning of portable console...
>>524454409In modern times your logic makes sense because most AAA games are shit.But back then AAA games were something you could count on for the most part. At some point PS1 was the new consoles and Resident Evil was a new titles. Then came Silent Hill and RE 2, new games. And they were gangbusters.So when a new game came out or a new system came out, people were excited because it would probably be good if not great. Look at PS2. Despite the overwhelming success of the first console and massive hit library it still exceeded.What the fuck are we even doing today?
>>524451447The real reason is shitty Minecraft graphics desensitized zoomers to nice graphics or responsive controls
Pretty sure we gonna se a huuuge indie-games trend coming up. Much more so than now. In a few years no one gonna be able to afford new consoles or PC components as the prices gonna skyrocket. Starting with RAM already. Games already at 80 bucks are a pain to afford and very often not worth it. AAA studios lack of talent these days because of all the diversity laws, job security, etc. This all leads to more and more people just buying the 10€ indie game that's most of the times better anyway. And with AI you gonna see lots of artists also being enabled to build their own games. Good times ahead.
>>524454561needed some of those badass nicads lol. younguns dont know how nice modern lions are
>>524454507That looks gangster. I don’t understand why we need the majority of new games, to be honest. Same with movies. The fuck am I gonna do with 100 shitty new shiny games and movies when I haven’t even caught up on the last round I was meant to watch or play ten years ago? The fuck do they think I am? Ganesh with a million arms and infinite lives? I don’t have time for all this shit. Starting to realise why you find old guys just doing that one thing they always liked, until they die. It was hilarious watching the Sopranos only just a few years ago. Couldn’t believe how fucking good it was because I hated the slop presentation on TV and the adverts. I really scored myself a great experience by not watching it back in the day when it was all hype. It was like the best few weeks of TV I can remember in my life recently. Fuck “keeping up” with shit.
>>524454452You jest but a lot of consoles are getting revivals and homebrew efforts. Look at the Commodore scene since the brands recent revival by the fans (neat story). They’re releasing a new C64 using FPGA with compatibility and modern convenience in the same breadbox form factor. There’s similar effort with the ZX Spectrum.I’ve been trying to find a MSX here in Japan but no luck in Osaka.
Economic terrorism
>>524454417And he wrote that instead of SNES so normies who don't understand or appreciate them can value them for immediate sale
>>524454507This game was featured on Sega Channel and I must have died a thousand times trying to figure it out as a kid. I got kinda far surprisingly but gave up before it was cycled out on the next month of games.I do have the physical copy of it on Genesis though, complete with manual and case.
>>524454621Yeah you’re right but were those really AAA titles? They may have been, I don’t know. But it really felt like development was a lot more passionate and genuine even at that later stage in video game history. Resident Evil felt like a boutique game, not something designed to be an AAA blockbuster. It was simply GOOD. We had “AAA” games before in the “Interactive movie” genre and they flopped hard. Like was Street Fighter 2 an AAA game? Was even Metal Gear Solid on Ps1 an “AAA” game because that also felt very “in house” in its design. I’m not sure how it’s defined. But yeah they make shit games now. Really shit games. Really really shit games. I assume it’s because they’re faggots now who literally think dick tastes good.
>>524454621>What the fuck are we even doing today?hiring women and non-Whites/East Asians
>>524455304that's why China's gonna win
>>524455052It’s hard to know but FF7 reportedly cost $45 million to make at the time which was historic.
>>524454717Agendas stifle creativity. Not all new games are shit but most are.>>524454877Yeah it was kicking my ass at first too. I didn't expect that from an old game but it isn't the only one, playing these old games has made me realize new games are watered down as fuck in that area.
>>524455304Hate to break it to you but the Japanese were responsible for some of the best games in video game history.
>>524451296NES and Tetris is all you need...
>>524451296Well like I don’t know maybe like kinda make good new games instead of endless walking sims
>>524455515Light Crusader is a better hack and slash isometric dungeon crawler. Fun fact, it was the inspiration for Diablo 1.
why do they hate roms? right they can't use a PC
>>524451622>i want fat black yasss queens in my games
>>524455517Yes.. I said they are now hiring women, non-Whites, and non-East Asians.... The final fantasy series is my favorite in history
>>524451296Old games are simply better.
>>524451296>prices rise faster than wages every hardware gen>major game studios flaunt in your face about charging 70, 80, $90 and you liking it>Threat Interactive dedicating his life on a warpath of showing why games run like total shit even on the newest highest end stuff>game devs pumping out lazy low skill code and graphics that run like shit for retarded reasons>major games have become slop of repeated slop of repeated slop>"Fun? No, engagement and transactions!"Gee golly. Wonder why.
>>524455643When you think about it.. it kinda makes sense. Imagine being brought up on a touchscreen device. Everything is “an app” and you use one app at a time.Then imagine using a full desktop OS with a multitasking window environment… with a mouse. It sounds normal to us because we grew up with it but if you never used one before it would be jarring. “Why do I have to like drag files and stuff?”For reference it would be like taking someone who is familiar with Windows or any similar OS and putting them in front of a terminal-based/DOS machine. “So I have to insert a boot disk first? Then type load A, then wait and swap disks? Why?”
>>524451296good. new games and media haven't been even semi enjoyable for over a decade.
>>524452984He's not wrong.
>>524451296>zoomers respect their elders>the elders keep saying old games are better than new games>zoomers play old games instead of new slopThis is a good thing. Zoomers got redpilled by older generations on how shitty microtransactions and LGBT are so they are playing older games instead.
>>524454396>thoughbeitWhat's it like being gay?
>>524454717you wouldn't believe how metal some of the finishing moves are
>>524451296everyone has their own reasons for saying why zoom zoom's are into old games more, but i haven't seen the most obvious. zoomers want instant gratification. old games are FAST. like you turn the thing on, it boots, and you hit play and you are playing. mario is standing there. run. the tetris blocks are falling, move them. donkey kong is throwing barrels, etc etc. new games? boot the system. wait for several loading screens. log into/select your account/profile, wait another load screen. select the game you want to play. wait another load screen. start the game. what do to anon? new games are so big, there's no immediately "pick up and play" element. they have hundreds of hours of content, sure, but it takes....well hundreds of hours. zoomers want 30 seconds of content. like playing a single mario level. perfect. playing a big open world game where it takes 20 minutes just to traverse the map? ooooh no, they don't want that shit. they don't GTA with quests that take 15-30 minutes to complete. they don't want botw without fast travelling. they want 1-1 in mario that can be completed in 30 seconds. they want to turn the game on and be able to actually start playing the game, as in, the ACTUAL game, not grinding, not running around the map, not fetching random side quests, they want to play the ACTUAL game within 30 seconds of turning the "game" on. new games cannot do this. old games can. that's really all it is.
>>524451296I have the new Xbox and pretty much have only played on xbox and 360 games on it, 360 is technically retro
>>524455643basically i was emulating gba as a teenager they have no excuse

>>524456126What I love is that old games are more challenging. When you run out of lives in Super Mario Bros. you get sent back to the start. There is punishment for losing.
>>524451296I m a 90s kid and i think this is fucking retarded.
>>524455479I guess that is AAA by those standards. Definitely still had a totally different design value back then. I wasn’t a huge FF fan, but it still had that feeling of being a proper game made by Japanese people who actually understand what a game is supposed to feel like. We have lost that. We have fat women and lesbians trying to tell us what should be in games now. Real gamers don’t make games any more. It’s sad.
>>524451296What I just never threw out my GameCube and the best games I've played are almost all on it
>>524453680my rg35xxh runs n64 perfectly fine, seethe cope and dilate, kike nigger troon
>>524451296Leftism destroyed everything that made life enjoyableRetro games were mostly made by japanese guys and old white guys neither of which were pushing any type of ideology outside the most basic shit like war is bad or something, At the very least it wasn't letting you know your a chud for denying trans rights or some shit.People play vidya to escape reality but when you put as much of the dogshit in reality into vidya then there is no more escape. Its why people are going back to retro games.You can never force leftism on people fully in a free society, its why leftists always try to take control so they can kill everyone who doesn't drink the kool aid(and they kill the ones who do too)Say no to leftism
>>524451776Wii was alright. I hate how the Switch forces you to create an account to use the thing. The Wii still functions as an offline console and you didn't even need an account to buy stuff from the shop.
>>524456215Why is it retarded? Is there something bad or unenjoyable for that era of gaming?Most of the technical issues (limitations of the time) can be solved with mods and screen upgrades. There’s drop-in replacements for rechargeable lithium packs with USB-C at this point.
>>524455869This does make sense but then you realise that a lot of us started off on windows 95/98 and learned how to use DOS, not necessarily the other way around although we may have done a little bit as kids. Most of it was just opening a disk file though. None of us seemed to struggle with learning DOS after being raised on a GUI. In fact it increased our understanding. I think Zoomers are just, well, dumb. And lazy. And think they’re clever.
>>524451296Gen Y here, I only play Doom, Descent, BZflag and OG Starcraft.No subscriptions, no bullshit, just blowing up radioactive zombies and xenomorphs.also keep my media collection entirely on-prem, served up w/ Jellyfin. Anyone who depends on techbro "subscription" services deserves what they get at this point.
>>524456308I don’t mean just performance, I mean accuracy and hard locks on games due to glitches in the emulator core.
>>524451296I PLAYED EVERY NEW GAME AND SADLY ONLY MARIO KART WORLD IS GOOD. I STAY ON ROCKET LEAGUE NOW SURROUNDED BY SPICS WHO CAN BE GOOD PEOPLE IF THEY REMOVE THE CARTEL A SMALL WEAK TEAM THAT IS MAKING MEXICANS LOOK BAD AND I WILL CALL THEM SPICS UNTIL THIS CHANGES JUST LIKE HOW I CALL BLACKS NIGGERS BUT THE BLACKS HAVE TWO BAD TEAMS, THE LOSER AND I MEAN LOSER GANG AND LOUD ANNOYING SHENIQUAS...UNTIL THIS CHANGES I WILL KEEP USING MY FUNNY WORDS!
idk man, i forgot why i enjoyed video games.so now I just play to cope with boredom.
>>524456055I bet this game is banned in Australia.
>>524456390I grew up with Windows 98.
>>524454409>All this bullshit only to end up running around paying top dollar just to pick up the same consoles I was fucking not even playing at my own leisurethat's not what they're doing, you niggerbrained dipshit retarded faggotoid, buy a fucking brain sometime, dumb nigger dipnigger dipshit retard fuck
>>524456395>JellyfinBased, I switched off that spyware Plex and never looked back
>>524452599That's ok, you are brown, it wasn't made for you
>>524455629I'll have to check that out when I finish this. Punch-Out! is pretty fun too.
>>524454477>open itself to a gorillion lawsuits over a single patented, brain-dead simple chip.how fucking nigger retarded are you?
>>524456453YOU PLAYED THEM TO BUILD YOUR PRIVATE LOGICAL FOUNDATION BUT NOW IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE TO BUILD.
>>524451447>>524451622
>>524451447>it's better to play a better game at lower resolution than it is to play a worse game with better graphics.The craziest thing is the graphics of many games coming out today are worse than those that came out ten years ago.
>>524456565OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!LOL THAT’S A GOOD ONE LMAO
>>524456516That’s exactly what they’re doing. They ran around playing dogshit while I laughed at them and watched them kill the gaming industry, while rushing to play 5 games at once on three monitors like a bunch of fags - acting like the sky is falling if they don’t have 2000 hours logged on a game, while I was literally just hanging around with all these old consoles waiting on my own time to play them at my own leisure. 10, 20 years down the line if I want to wait. I lost nothing. Meanwhile they’re gonna rush out now and buy all this shit I have lying around because I never saw the appeal of their new bullshit in the first place. I win.
>>524451457PS4
>>524456674I have no idea why people buy physical old stuff when they can just emulate
>>52445129626 year old zoom zoom here. The only retro games i play are emulated capcom games like darkstalkers, street fighter alpha 3, alpha 2, and SF3. I like playing wipEout and ridge racer as well. I played all of this shit since i was a kid. Indie games are where the innovation is really at though. Triple A devs can suck a dick.
>>524456358It didn’t force you on the Switch. I just gave my OLED to my wife and did a factory reset. She didnt add a Nintendo account until later.>>524456390It really just depends on when you got your first PC and what it was. Way less standardized than there is now.My first was an old 286 Tandy clone that my dad took from work since they had just replaced a bunch. It was DOS that could boot into Windows 3.1. But I still had to install games and run a lot of them from DOS, like many of the Sierra games.Then came the fun of setting up sound and music in DOS. Those fucking IRQs and “ports” for PC Speaker and sound blaster. I always wondered what all those other settings were for when I was a kid, like the MIDI ones. (I do own a Roland MT-32 and SC-88 now)Fortunately once you knew what they were you’d just put in the same values when setting up a game, but it sure as hell wasn’t plug and play. Things got a lot better by Win 95/98.
>>524451296If by "retro" you mean wii and ps2 then yeah they are, but to imply they're playing gameboy and NES is stupid they really don't like those older consoles.>t. knower
>>524456387Because you now have dual 27" inch screens and everything runs smoothly why the fuck would you play on a stupid gameboy.I remember a time where we bridged some athlon cpus with a pencil so we could unluck a higher clockspeed so q3 and cs would run smoother. Playing that shit with 30fps on 15" crt screen. Why the fuck would you downgrade yourself if you can have much better grafics? I still mainly play old games like sc2 and sometimes wc3 but i also enjoy newer ones.That is like wanting A-cups instead of H-cups.
>>524456616Reliance on post processing and motion blur. You’ll notice similar in modern movies with excessive CGI, it’s all jump cuts and VFX. Very rarely do you get a full camera shot. It’s to hide all their bullshit. Compare with classics like original Jurassic Park that used real animatronics and sets.
>>52445678926, you're old, out of touch and irrelevant now
Everyone knows we've had adequate technology for years, we just needed more games. A handheld that can produce 2010's graphics is more than enough. Computers from the 2000's could already do vast open worlds.
>>524451296The game industry is crashing the game industry. AAA games are grossly overpriced and made by outsourced staff that do not understand the basics of game design. Modern games are built around metrics like play time, so everything is an open world full of time wasting bullshit.Game consoles and PC hardware are overpriced and that continues to worsen with no end in sight. Wages barely pay for basic needs, so no one is paying top prices for piss poor games, plain and simple.
>>524457064What compells you to write such a post, is this some kind of pathological shit like a dog that has a sausage in front of it?
>>524456844This. The oldest they’ll play is GTA 3. The only reason they’re playing, say, Morrowind, is because of memes.
>>524456781Speaking for myself, it’s part memory and nostalgia. I know what the controller felt like. I know what it looked and sounded like. I want that experience as much as possible without input lag, glitches, and frame skipping.I do have some Sony CRTs but prefer a high quality upscaler (or digital out mod) that lets me enable scanlines on my OLED TV at pixel perfect 4K.I do think there’s a tactile aspect to it. Taking a cart and slapping it into a system and flicking the power button is gratifying. Putting a PS1 game in and hitting the power button to hear that glorious boot sound is comforting.If you don’t have any attachment to those feelings and sounds then I guess nothing is lost in emulation. But for those who do, it can make a huge difference.It’s kind of like why do people enjoy Bud Light when craft beer exists. Or why do people buy dollar store headphones to listen to music when HiFi audio exists.
>>524456908I can still play SC1 and enjoy the fuck out of it. Maybe even more so than SC2 (and I think highly of the sequel).I think you’re missing the forest for the trees. It would be like saying why bother playing Zelda: Link to the Past when Breath of the Wild exists.Why do you think games like Minecraft or Megabonk are successful despite looking like a PS2 game.
>>524456844> but to imply they're playing gameboy and NES is stupid they really don't like those older consoles.>t. knowerI do...
>>524451622Silence, homosexual
>>524451457You get bundles of old games when you sign up for Nintendo online with the switch, that's how I got them.
>>524457371Never played minecraft, obviously gameplay is also very important but i think a lot of people are just stuck pondering about their youth and broccoli heads are retarded.
>>524451296https://searchplayground.google/pacman/halloween/
>>524456203This is a huge aspect that's glossed over as well. Even in FPS games, you used to have to find health pickups scattered about and armor. That kept you being strategic always. Now you have "rest a bit and everything replenishes" bullshit. There are other examples but that was first to my mind. There is no 'game' anymore, just an 'experience' and the experience sucks.
>>524457573If modern gaming was even half as good as the 90s and 2000s I’d agree with you but everyone seems to feel the same.There really isn’t much to look forward to from the major studios. All the hits are basically done by indie developers or small studios at this point.When Oblivion Remaster is a top selling game that should tell you something.
>>524457111The biggest obstacle to having the latest tech is how long it takes to finish games. It takes like an order of magnitude longer than a decade ago. They could make Skyrim in 3 years, now it's taking 20+. They could produce a huge game in 3 years that people still play to this day. It's not worth ramping up the cost of production if you can make something much quicker that has such long lifespan. All the new tech that comes out is always marketed as a time-saver for developers, yet in the end games only take longer to finish. Even if we used AI and Indians for 90% of the things, it would probably still take 10 years to make these new games.
>>524451296Videogames are crashing themselves
>>524457371>SC2GOAT
>>524457680FPS games have all turned into hero shooters. No more Quake, no more Unreal Tournament. CS:GO/2 doesn’t have the same feel as 1.6. Team Fortress 2 has become a hat game.Similar to how RTS became MOBAs. No more C&C, Warcraft/Starcraft, AoE 2 definitive is still king, no more Rise of Nations or Empire Earth or Age of Mythology. No more city builders like Caesar or Pharaoh.
>>524456126>old games are FAST. like you turn the thing on, it boots, and you hit play and you are playing.this is why modern nu-gayming is gay nigger retard shityou boot up any modern nu-gaym and you have to sit through hours long unskippable introductory cutscenes and then a 7 hour long forced tutorial before you even get to actually PLAY the fucking game to find out that the gameplay is pure dognigger ass
>>524457850Game studios are crashing themselves. They filled their ranks with bored white women and diversity hires. Next step is having then all jeeted. Then complete failure
>>524456436there are multiple cores and a myriad of setting you can tweak, and graphical accuracy is irrelevant as long as the game runs and plays properly, which they all do
>>524456456almost certainly, just like DOOMpity Australians can never know what they're missing out on>An image of the old wizard Mordramir leaps from the candle and begins to speak:>"Dunric, you have come to save me. I am in the dungeons far below. I know I can count on you.">This explains your old teacher's mysterious disappearance, but there is one thing strange about the message...>Your name is not Dunric.
>>524456908>Because you now have dual 27" inch screens and everything runs smoothly why the fuck would you play on a stupid gameboy.If you’re playing a game boy game, why the hell would want a 27” screen and “smooth” graphics. That makes everything look worse, idiot. That’s why they have options like scanlines, so the games don’t look like total trash on modern hardware. What the fuck are you even talking about? There’s “better” graphics possible sure, but you can’t get “better” resolution on a GB game by slapping it on a monitor.
>>524456674it literally is not what they are fucking doing lmfao, with what money do you think they're using to be able to afford overpriced scalped as fuck 20-30 year old original hardware? plus the cost of original carts, get fucking real, you retarded nigger
>>524456789>Triple A devs can suck a dick.basedTOTAL TRIPLE GAY NIGGER DEATH
>>524456126I've felt this for years now actually. Games now days are like 2nd (or 3rd) jobs and require such an investment they're hard to get into. That's part of the reason I think game streaming caught on so much because it's less stressful to watch someone else do the "work" and you still get to experience the game, albeit only vicariously.
>>524457064Saying that shit made sense years ago when people found their agency in their teens. Zoomers are still trying to figure out how to talk to a girl and they’re in their 20s. This generation can’t claim to be leading anything. They’re followers and consumers with shallow opinions that have been marketed towards believing they are special and that their ignorant aggression is a mark of “their time”. Truth is, you’re just a dumb cunt.
>>524451296Its because the game industry is full of non-gamers, they cant understand why. A videogame isnt about looking at the best possibke graphics $250mil can buy. Its not about tricking players into playing with fomo and daily chores. Its about stimulating your brain, which is fun and its own reward. Thats it. Megaman from the 90s can do that just the same as any game today, and since games today seem to have forgotten they are supposed to be fun and not elaborate addiction traps, most old games are just objectively more fun.
>>524457392Any time retro gets brought up for people age 25 the oldest thing I hear is "ape escape"
>>524451296I saw a fucking atari at a store a few weeks ago. a literal fucking atari. what were they thinking? do they wanna send us back to the past? to play the shitty games that suck ass? I'd rather eat the rotten asshole of a roadkill skunk than play this shit
Why don't they just emulate?
>>524457941That’s because slowly but surely what you’re seeing is games being turned into what basically amounts to a slot machine. Yeah sure they leave in “gameplay” to pretend it’s genuine, but every other aspect of design is completely made around slot machine principles and making you addicted. They’re not designing a game any more they’re designing a trap or a scam. It always was the case really, but we removed the illusions that made it fun.
>>524454717>Starting to realise why you find old guys just doing that one thing they always liked, until they die. I played the original Monster Rancher again at like age 27 and it was fucking great. Now all I want to do is play Dwarf Fortress. It's crazy how shit society is.
>>524451457They are talking about anbernics and miyoo minis. Chinkware
>>524451296You don't even have to go with retro stuff. Get a midrange PC and buy 5+ year old games when they're on sale. There's hundreds if not thousands of great games on PC that still look relatively modern while being 75%+ off on sale.Witcher 3, for example, still looks and plays like a modern game even though it's 10 years old.
>>524451296I bought a raspberry pi and then loaded thousands of old games on it. The people buying these new shit AAA games for full price are lunatics.
>>524458401>do they wanna send us back to the past?yes, and they will burn the entire games industry to the ground to make it happen too>because you CHUDS don't deserve to have anything but a train ride to the concentra- uh, I mean ENLIGHTENMENT camp where you will be worked to death like you deserve! SO THERE!
>>524451296I still have my Atari 2600 and my Amstrad cpc464 with the monochrome crt monitor from when I was a child in the early 80s (picrel).My oldest son has recently been playing his Nintendo DS he's had since he was a child.Modern gayming is mostly shite.
>>524458257Doesn’t fucking matter. Stop having a shitty semantic argument with me. Fact of the matter is - they were wrong - all they had to do is slow the fuck down and stop trying to “keep up” with their shitty games. Now they’re rushing out to play the games they should have been playing in the first place. Their retarded shit games were NEVER good. I do not exaggerate when I say this generation has been fellating literal rods of SHIT and then turning around and calling themselves “gamers”. Perhaps they are just about to figure out what an actual gamer is.
>>524458785we had one of those back then too. harrier attack was good
>>524453680My mid-level gaming PC was emulating N64 games just fine almost 15 years ago. It's hard to imagine that modern phones or cheap hardware can't do it at this point.
>>524451296>modern games are full of trannies and niggers>noone buys themgeee what a mistery
>>524458894That was one of my favourites, that and soccer boss.
>>524458749>not getting this obvious of a referencezoomer spotted
>>524451296I am playing a lord of the rings mod for a 20 year old game I got for 5$ the trannies and faggot millennials making these new games can eat shit I am not giving them a penny
>>524451776>>524451457by your logic any phone is also a retro console as any phone can emulate ... basically everything even PC games.
>>524453973Sure, how many of the classic games did you program? How many clothing styles did you invent? And by you I mean YOU personally. Because if you have always just been a consoomer yourself don't even bother talking shit about Gen Z copying, cuz thats already more than you have ever done>t. Millenial
>>524451457Most don't have them, but emulation through phones or laptops is common thing, those who got money buy emulating consoles or emulate on handhelds like Steam Deck. It's piss poor easy to get emulator with bunch of games on your machine. There's also enough old games already to rot your brains out for the rest of your life. PS1, Gameboy, PSP, and PS2 got more than enough for your needs for literally any taste.
>>524459030based. i probably played this mod back in the day
>>524458433they literally do, you dumb dipshit niggerbrained nigger
>>524458792it's not semantics when you're purposely being an obtusely wrong nigger, shut the fuck up already, retard
>>524451296>>524451447>"buy" modern game>there is no game to be physically bought and to call your own, only a download code>that'll be 80$>plus an extra 40$ for the content you don't want to spend 9000 hours trying to grind for>plus an extra 40$ for the season pass>and don't forget your 20$ a month in online console access fees>whoops, we decided to shut down the game servers, we appreciate our community>whoops, our automated AI systems had a hallucination and determined that you used gamer words and now you account is banned forever with no way to appeal the decisionThis is why I haven't bought a new game or new console since 2013 and mostly just spend my time playing GBA games on an emulator
>>524451296Why do zoomers take credit for things people were already doing?
>>524451296Nothing wrong with zoomers, or at least those who got functioning brain. Anybody who got common sense and grew up with older systems because of their parents know that gaming industry is drastically spiraling downwards and that old games are far better than most slop you'll see being advertised.I stopped playing new games since 2022, and been sticking only to old PC, PS2, and Sega Megadrive games collection I hoarded over the years. I got 2000+ games and I don't see point of buying anything new because all new games are practically gay always online shit. Hell, Steam even admitted openly that you don't own the games you purchase, you just buy licenses that are valid as long as publishers agree.
>>524459308It IS semantics. Whether they are buying old consoles or emulating old consoles on new hardware, they’re still putting in an effort to reverse years of wasting time playing slop to actually play some real games. Meanwhile, I’ve owned a plethora of “retro” games which I’m still enjoying to this day because I didn’t sign up for their shitty wave of slop. They did. They even told me that bullshit was good. All you have to do is just stop chasing after new things within reason and you won’t have to reverse course later. Why would you ever engage in some of this literal dogshit these faggots play? Did you know for instance that if you go into a zoomer chat and say Baldur’s Gate 3 looks gay as fuck - they’ll get upset? Why would they get upset? It’s self-evidently dogshit. That’s why I enjoy dunking on them, because they were just WRONG.
My friends are knocking down my door to play my Zed-X Spectrum!No, wait...
>>524459007I got it, it just didn't make me laugh, so I put on my serious hat
>>524451296>Zoomers are crashing the video game industry by playing old games instead of new releasesso theyre doing what basically all of us with brains have been doing for the past 10-15yrs?cool, i guess>Is there something wrong with Zoomers, or the gaming industrythe latter. they make so many shit games its crazy. i think i hear like 1 or 2 a year, maybe, that ppl actually all say is good. considering how many games are coming out now, thats pretty patheticone big problem tho is that "gaming consoles", dont need to exist anymore. theyre just overpriced and underpowered compared to a gaming PC. but then buying a gaming PC is out of the realm of possibility due to shitcoin and AI making a lot of the necessary hardware obscenely overpricedso the solution is to just fucking get a gameboy i guess. you get a GBA SP and one of those everdrive carts, youre pretty much all set
>>524451296>retro>the fucking brickThat thing is a piece of shit. They maintained backwards compatibility for a long ass time with their handhelds.
>>524457941>AoE 2I really enjoy watching aoe2 videos even though i didnt play this game in like 25 years (the new version of aoe2). Sc2 is extremely fast paced and unforgiving in contrast to that.
>>524452414Skyrim is objectively the least challenging soulslike I've ever tried. It's made for literal down syndrome retards.
>>524451569>>524451852>>524451813>spend 10 minutes rubbing the battery ends together for a few scraps more of gameplaygood times

>>524459030This is why I stick to arma 3
>>524452526You're a fat faggot with bitch tits.Get a job you parasite.
My kids love playing Goldeneye.Last I counted I had 18 retro consoles.Is ps3 retro yet?
>Is there something wrong with zoomers or gaming industry Its the gaming industry. The 2000s were the best years for video games. The best games were coming out and nobody was pushing politics in games. Yeah every once in a while you'd get something superficially related to the war on the terror, but that was just set dressing. Now games come out incomplete, with way less content, annoying political messaging about supporting the current thing and a higher price tag. The only thing that's better is the graphics. So why would you buy that expensive crap when you could spend way less for a much better experience? Unless gaming fixes its plots, gameplay, and price they'll keep losing.
>>524460035>Is ps3 retro yet?I want to say no and get mad at zoomers, but 2006 was damn near 20 years ago.So yeah.
Based and emulation pilled.
>>524460056graphics aren't even impressive to me anymore desu. They barely change from system to system and I have this aversion the uncanny valley models on display in modern games. HD modded versions of ps2 graphics seems to be the maximum sweet spot for me, but I also love diablo 2 style graphics. Theres just something so charming about older graphics to me kek
>>524458401i know youre just doing the AVGN thingbut still, more ppl should try some of those old 2600 games. ppl always just try the late 70s atari ones, and those just arent quite as developed as what was coming out from about 80/81 till the crash. activision and imagic are the two devs worth looking out for in that era. they put out a lot of rly fun games in the early 80s. some are even quite impressive given how utterly archaic the 2600 waspicrel (and its "prequel", atlantis) are both rly good ones
>>524460035is chess considered retro yet? seems to still be popular even on twitchretro is such a gay ass hipster reddit worda game is a game if its fun play it who cares when it came out
>>524451296games are for kids, the industry is already stablished so its a tool for propaganda, not a good service to be delivered. zoomzooms might be literate on reality enough to see this, that only manchildren and content creators buy games and likes them now.
>>524451569Neo geo pocket color was the best handheld ever made and it's not particularly close
>>524451296Based. Don't neglect the Genesis my zoomers. You can trust not man, nor woman nor beast - but this you can trust.
>>524460241>Graphics Yeah when I was younger I used to get suckered by graphics, but after a while you realize they don't make the game any more fun. I do think the older video game graphics had a charm to them especially games like Jedi outcast or Jedi academy. Its still one of the best star wars games that ever came out.
>>524454260can i be in your will?
>>524460138the ps3 is now older than the snes was when the ps3 was released>snes(1990)-ps3(2006)=16 years>ps3(2006)-now(2025)=19 yearsthere is a equal amount of time between the atari 2600 and the first xbox, than between the first xbox and now>atari 2600(1977)-xbox(2001)=24 years>xbox(2001)-now(2025)=21 years
>>524460484can you trust an altered beast though?
>>524459702>games instead of new releases>so theyre doing what basically all of us with brains have been doing for the past 10-15yrs?Yeah basically I feel like the world really never advanced past 2006. The Genesis, the PS1 and the PS2 was pretty much where it all ended with a few exceptions like the Arkham games. It's like saying you don't watch modern movies you only watch ones before 06. Yeah, cuz that's pretty much when they stopped making all art.>>524460577I always tried to make it clear to my midwit Pierce who began taking over video games and being their main consumers that there's a difference between graphics and art. A game can have bad graphics but good art, likewise bad art but good graphics. Guess which one is better? This sort of thing is completely lost on the masses who obsess over superficiality and novelty like graft!! Art is beyond them all.
>>524451296There's no new games worth buying. I've been going back to old vidya that had a ton of updates since I last played it. Picked up State of Decay 2 again for $5 on Steam and it's so much better than I remember it being.
>>524460724Lol. Nice. Yes, you can, as long as you have a Golden Axe.
>>524460794>PiercePeers
>>524460484I have a genesis and a everdrive, I need to figure out how to play nes games on it soon
>>524460859oh yeah i forgot that one
>>524460960An everdrive sounds like a good idea for a new consoles primary cartridge no? Like if a new console came out and you could install games on it perhaps at a vendor instead of downloading them like a fag?What would be super cool is having a console like a scanners toy from the 90s and 2000s that you could scan codes and get games from
>>524460577I think we all were impressed with improvements to graphics over the years, but they’re not always strictly better just because they’re newer. Some games don’t look good even though they’re technically more impressive. Some games just don’t suit certain graphics, full stop. And we all were ready for the new generation of gaming but what actually happened was they just turned EVERY game 3d for the sake of it and presented that to us as “advancing video game industry”, when it was the beginning of the sloppy sluice trail.
While we're all here, what's everyone's choice for each system's best emulator?
>>524461084Like I said, art and graphics were always different things. I never gave a shit about the graphics cuz I played revenge of Shinobi which was art and other games like it I didn't need the graphics or care about them. Actually always seemed like the games got worse the better the graphics got and the more realistic it seemed even if the story was good.Cool thing about the PS2s graphics were never good enough to give you a picture of what the artist wanted but you could still imagine a lot for yourself. They're always better in your mind than when you replay them for that reason. Almost like reading and imagining what the author is trying to describe. Everybody has their own idea of how they remember it or their own memories of a game that may differ from everyone else. The graphics are too specific refined and good you don't have as much room for imagination and the experience is more shared unless unique.

I meant to say that they were good enough to give you a picture of what the artist wanted but you could still imagine a lot for yourself.
>>524451569You do realize that Gen Z starts in 1997. The oldest zoomers grew up with the original gameboy.
>>524453293>but I think the PS1 really showed how good some games could be like Metal Gear Solid, FF7/8, etc.This. Got a Playstation for my 12th birthday but with no games other than the demo (which was a blast). Took $60 I had received for my birthday and went to Toy's R Us in Deerfield, IL. Ask the employee which games are awesome right now? >Employee pulls two or three games off the shelf. FF7 & Metal Gear Solid.Picked MGS because I had asked for FF7 for Christmas. Metal Gear was incredible and I didn't purchase a memory card. Got to the first battle with Sniper Wolfe and had to go to school. Stayed up all night.
>>524461260streets of rage 2 was great
>>524451296Fuckin PSPs count as retro consoles now.
Become awake, lose money aka go woke go broke
>>524461260>They're always better in your mind than when you replay them for that reason. Almost like reading and imagining what the author is trying to describe. Everybody has their own idea of how they remember it or their own memories of a game that may differ from everyone else.yep thats a great point
>>524451296if old movies are any indicators, higher quality visuals don’t necessarily translate to a higher quality end user experience
>>524461362Yep. All streets of rage games are. Most beat-em-ups are kind of shit but those are the best. The alien versus predator for arcade we're pretty good too. You should try Robocop versus the Terminator for Genesis. First gory game I ever tried
Even Japs are starting to notice
>>524459337My gamer words arent hallucinations, but the point still stands.
>>524461415>You should try Robocop versus the Terminator for Genesis.seem to remember playing that one...yeah one of my buddies had it. we all liked mortal kombat of course. >FINISH HIM
>>524451575japan still makes some good games
>>524461415This is the kind of stuff that would make you think the future was going to be fucking awesome. This is why millennials all our man children today. They made the '90s too good and the 2000s as well. Well actually they just didn't make the rest of time decent.
>>524451569Zoomer will never experience classroom multiplayer
>>524451296Why would you pay $1000 dollars for a PC and $900 for 15 high-fidelity walking sims when you could pay $200 for a Mini V2 and own 500 of the best video games ever made for an extra $0?It's just common sense. Modern gaming is greedy as fuck and in the end the experiences just aren't even that great
>>524459030Along with the free ones theres tons of bundles of 60+ old games you can get for less than $10. I havent seen games this cheap since I was a kid and went to the comic book store for games.
>>524451447>40 gamesJfc go outside
You gotta love these trends because where it ends is people playing old games, wanting more content, realizing it won't ever come from "industry," and then making the game themselves. At that point we've completed a full circle and gamers and developers are back to being the same people, which I don't knowbwhy the fuck that stopped being the case but here we are. Short all "AAA" stock except maybe someone like Valve.
>>524451447Exactly, 0 plot in any of those old games though hell, all I play anymore is Skyrim new Vegas and cataclysm dda
>>524462474thats another thingsome old games have active mod scenesdramatically increases replayability
>>524451447All zoomers need is a computer from as old as 2000 to play emulators for the classics. It's so easy and affordable to say fuck the woke trannies aaa gaming and pay nothing and play the classics. Get a glass monitor for a cozy feel. This is the best timeline they thought you had to play it and deal with it like woke nigger tv. They got pwned.
>>524462474>muh "plot"read a fucking book if you want "plot"videogames are for gameplay and gameplay ALONE
>>524451296>buyingZs are pirates. That prob how they found the old games
>>524463358As if I didn't download entire libraries of ROMs for Genesis.
aside from space marine 2, i havent been tempted to buy a video goyim in like a decade
and my 4 digit steamid is probably worth more than their entire library
