Why are zoomers worshipping old garbage that no same person uses anymore? It's it just to be quirky? https://www.bgr.com/2177836/old-gaming-consoles-making-comeback-gen-z-frustration/
>>536126212eh, just hipsters making a comeback
>>536126212Don't care Ban usury
Game Goy
>>536126212Can't get your money stolen for saying a no no word with a PS1
>>536126212Aren't oldschool games at insane difficulty for zoomers as there is no handholding in these games?
>>536126212Thanks for the recommendations
>>536126212Zoomers are weird man. What with the Nirvana t-shirts and making mixtapes for their chink-made walkmans.
>>536126212
>>536126212It's because they can't afford modern gaming.
>>536126212Physical media that can't be shut down/bricked remotely and your license to use it can't be revoked. Gen Z is smarter than you.
>>536126389Gabe needs to stay rhin
>>536126212I'm starting to think it's because some of them are so bad with technology that they don't even know how to buy use a ps5.
>>536126237Zoomers becoming the kind of millennials they hate so much is such bitter irony.
>>536126242Based anon.
>>536126212Games till around 2008 didn't suck, maybe you can stretch it to 2012 for tasteless faggots.Basically arena FPS experience ended at Quake 3, there's nothing better afterwards and people who say otherwise are casuals, slaves to gambling with boxes to make jew pockets overflow with money. It's only reasonable, for how gay and retarded zoomers are, this must be one of the last human cravings (for good gaems) that they have left.
>>536126530zoomers "hating millennials" is just envy, same as anything, frankly same as young retards bitching about boomers who got to live through a more prosperous time where individual people (like them) had more spending power. millennials were the last of the pre smart phone, pre social media era people (briefly), the oldest millennials got to live through a decent portion of the 80s, at the very least though we ALL got to live through the 90s, which was the last sane decade before y2k and 9/11. zoomers understand this on a gut level and that's why they seethe at gen y, seethe that the 90s are overrated, seethe that we're cornier and lamer and more liberal than them (all false) and yet here they are consuming garbage from OUR generation because it's superior to theirs and they understand that instinctively. i don't even blame them, it is better. modernity fucking sucks, and modern games are shit. zoomers were born dead and they know that better than anyone.
>>536126212>Why are zoomers worshipping old garbageit literally tells you in the article you are posting. Nigga learn to read. >A whopping 89% of Gen Z gamers said they prefer retro titles because they provide a respite from the internet. Meanwhile, 74% said retro games were "more relaxing," and 77% cited "sentimental value."
>>536126900>gameboy >zoomer childhood
>>536126978Zoomers had Gameboy as kids not all of them though but the oldest are 30 now
Just buy a cheap Anbernic device, can easily play up to PS1.Hell, you can get a cheap second retroid pocket 5 that plays switch games.The latest AAA slop is just elden ring rehashed a million times anyway.Indie is the only good game in town.
Plus Pokémon ROM hacks are and have been better then the official games for a decade now
>>536126900>respite from the internet>more relaxing>sentimental valueretro games being actual games and not movies with button prompts probably contributes a lot to that
>>536126212So my working game boy advance sp and games are worth something again? Intradesting. Shit I just looked it up. Just the handheld is 120-145 or more and I've got a bunch of the top games for it.
>>536126707Quake 3 Arena was so good it got non-gamers into playing it. Tetris is the only other game Ive seen that had that much pull on the general population. I would venture to bet over 50% of original gameboy sales were for people only playing Tetris
>>536126707Ut2004 is better than quake 3 fight me
>>536127297Nah too slow...once you got used to Quake 3's speed you cant go back. I remember the original Halo was so fucking slow compared to Quake 3 that it was unplayable.
>>536126212BECAUSE NO GOOD VIDEOGAMES HAVE BEEN MADE SINCE ~2015. THATS MORE THAN 10 YEARS. THATS ALMOST THE ENTIRETY OF THIER TEENAGE YEARS, AND ALL OF THEIR ADULT LIVES. NOW THEY ARE REACHING AN AGE WHERE THEY INTERACT WITH OLDER GENERATIONS THROUGH WORK AND ARE HEARING ABOUT THE GREAT CLASSICS OF THE PAST. IN TRYING OUT ACTUAL GOOD VIDEOGAMES THEY COME TO THE REALIZATION THAT THE GAMES THEY PLAYED THROUGH THEIR FORMATIVE YEARS ARE JUST GOYPIXELS.
>>536126212Guitar hero legends of rock was amazing something easy to play with friends and family casually
>>536126212NEO GEO is back, faggot and it beats the AAA goyslop you play to a bloody pulp.
>>536126900these factors are true but the real deal is that zoomers have no money and when a zoomer figures out piracy he realizes he has access to more FREE vidya to play than he could possibly go through and it's all better quality than the gross by-the-numbers goyslop that gets churned out today
>>536126212I had a Game Gear. Gameboy was garbage. At least get a Gameboy Color
>>536126418You can literally just get an emulator for all those olds machines and play it on your phone with a Bluetooth controller.
>>536126212at least the gameboy didn't have microtransactions
>>536126212modern games just trash and make no fun to playadmit it
People just use emulators. Only man children collected and maintained old consoles and games. Its a step up from funkopop collecting.
>>536126978Not the gameboy color or original. They had the PSVita and DS
>>536127538>Game GearDid you enjoy buying AA batteries instead of games?
>>536126212Now you taste the real world missing for 25 years so far. The real world. From before the turn for the perverse, September 11 2001 televised and the satanic jewish globalist new world order it was for. And all the invasive surveillance and judeo-satanism littered over all the earth to dog train everyone to get mass murdered my da kikez. Evil Spirit that meddled in everyone's souls and everyone's art and drove everyone insane to death as Defiling and Blaspheming as possible is not present in the 90s kid's great dream. Now torture ((((them)))) all to death with the internet and the internet will be an electronic sanctuary fortress. And the jewish satanizt everything will go down a Maelstrom of Death all their AI reinforced henchhohols will Never escape.
>>536127787kek, i had one and you are correct, the bitch chewed through the batteries. had to buy the wall charger. I've still got it somewhere with lion king and sonic games
>>536127787That's why I had a power cord and rechargeable batteries nigger
>>536126212Zoomers are severely tech illiterate /Vr/ is filled with 20 year olds larping as millennials who don't know how emulators work and think they have to buy shit. Very sad
>>536126287Old games are not on "insane" difficulty just compared to the nowadays trend it's uncommon.Also spoonfeeding that did not exist back in those time.If you were lucky you got a manual book with the basics movements and figure out the rest.Also, also they younger generation even this way can use the youtube and internet to get walk-throughs, and it's obviously makes everything easier for them.
>>536127787>buying AA batteriesI just bought rechargeable ones one time, I guess you Amerisharts never heard of those huh.
>>536126212Modern world failed them so why not embrace the near past?Game boy doesn't spy on youGame boy doesn't ask for you to spend money for in game skinsGame boy doesn't take your game away from you when they want to stop supporting itGame boy just lets you play games
>>536128108rechargeable AA batteries available to consumers in the early 1990s were pretty much only nickel cadmium and were absolute shit.
>>536126212kirby was a stupid fucking game,I had some for a game boy somebody gave me and thought the little bastard was a stupid piece of shit.
>>536126212Idiotic.
>>536128108Rechargeable batteries didn't work with the game gear. They lasted like 5 minutes if that after a full charge. Modern ones are different but 90's ones were useless
>>536126212Millenicucks can't dev games so we have to go back to boomercore sad
>>536126212Buy game, play game was always the better model. If retro collecting shits hadn't made old consoles so expensive I'd be buying a Mega Drive and happily going through the catalogue. Gaming was better from the PS2 and backwards. As soon as you got day 1 updates, always online, accounts needed all that bullshit it became not worth it. I sold my PS4 and haven't bought another console since.
>>536128242>>536128320That's all very interesting zoom zooms but I was playing on my Game Gear using rechargeable batteries long before you were born.
>>536128243Yeah it would be hotter if Kirby was a girl, then I could jack off to the v*re
>>536126212Gameboy has always been shitty. Games from that era fucking suckNow if zoomers brought back the PSP that would be worth something
>>536128617brother I was born in 1983, I am VERY aware of the quality of rechargeable batteries in the late 80s and early 90s. They were terrible and effectively unusable, so were a waste of money. If people didnt want to buy AA batteries they just got the power adapter and plugged into the wall.
>>536126212>why do consumers move back to products that don't suck and don't cost 3 kidney? Don't they realize how sad the shareholders will be that putting a fresh coat of paint on slop isn't working anymore?
>>536126212How many times are they going to use the same headline? I swear I read a similar headline around 4 months ago. That being said, the GBA catalog is quite something.
>>536128723>late 80s and early 90sI'm talking 93-94 and I was using Memorex ones, not as good as today's obviously but they worked perfectly fine.
>>536128646OH YES
>>536128763How much fun can you have with fucking tetris idiot? Or some other low quality 8 bit 64 bit whatever bit slop? I could play darktide for days. Tetris? Maybe 20 minutes of wasted time. And dont even try to get me to play your faggy Pokémon garbage
All video gamers that ever lived need removed from worldwide gene poolso that the human race can progress forward
>>536126212My Atari 2600 console still works and I enjoy it more than all the new shit.
>>536128848Playing games for days kind of takes some of the fun out of it that doesn't sound like fun it sounds like addiction
>>536126212>no persistent internet connection>no loot boxes / microtransactions>no money market for in-game items>no forced updates that can change the game mechanics>no forced voice chat with people you don't know or care aboutZoomers are smartert. Xennial
>>536128912It sounds like im experimenting with builds and doing challenges. I take breaks for months on end dont worry about that but modern games tend to release new content occasionally
>>536128848>how much fun can you have with Tetris?Tetris is the one of the most selling and popular video games of all time. People would buy a Gameboy only for playing Tetris, and sometimes Dr. Mario too.
>>536127130i’m 34 now and i’ve been putting pokemon rom hacks on my r34 card since i was 25. Sinnoh region hacks are fucken sick, the community really are incredible with what they can come up with and it also reminds me of the NWN1 custom modules & the community as well. Zoomers will never get to experience that kind of wholesomeness, and i’m glad because it’s something they can’t ruin with their existence
>>536128846
>>536126212>old garbageDon't ever speak again like this for gameboy
>>536126212those games were actually still games.as in, something reasonable simple you can just pick up without needing any 2 hours tutorial or youtube guide, and it also actually consists of you actively playing the game rather than putting down the controller half the time to watch a cutscene.modern studios simply shove too much shit that distracts from the actual purpose of a game into them.
400 EURO AS-ISNO LOW BALLERSI KNOW WHAT I'VE GOT
>>536129674From the well-known chinese sites they can order working copies anytime for few cents.If they just want to play and not looking for collector items, they can do easily.
>>536126212It's because the modern world is awful.
>>536126212Subscription fatigue. You will own nothing.
>>536127484Don’t they just repackage the same shit? That I can get on PS2…or PC or anywhere.
>>536128909Get the Harmony cart. You can download roms and put them on a SD card and insert it into the cart and play any game you want
>>536127284Based. I was a UT2k4 god. I had something like 4:1 kill ratio average on their stats server. Played it up to 2012 or so.
>>536126212new games and consoles are pure garbage
>>536128848>How much fun can you have with fucking tetrisMaybe if you hadn't fried your attention span on tiktok you could appreciate it.>8 bit 64 bit whatever bit slop64bit is current stuff, dumdum. Most modern game are still effectively operating with 32bits for 99% of their tasks. The bit escalation at the end of the 90s was purely marketing arguments, not something that had much purpose technology-wise.
>>536130200I have tetris for vr and my dad had a Gameboy with tetris. I spent enough time with it. Shits outdated. The hardware and the game. The last thing I'll let consume me and control me is fucking nostalgia
Isn't there a way to play all these games on a raspberry pi? I have one (got it in the 2010's) but I didn't get it to play games.
Here's what idiots can't understand-How much fun a video game actually is has nothing to do with its complexity or graphics. Nolan Bushnell and Shigeru Miyamoto understood more about game design than every single faggot that exists in the industry today. Is it fun? The simplest game can still suck you in if it engages you.
>>536130318Yes. A pi can emulate everything from the 16 bit era.
>>5361302008 bit was the graphics. Hell the N64 was 64 bit. That entire concept is wholly removed from modern GPUs.
>>536126212because they're posers
>>536128848How much fun can you have with fucking solitaire? I once had a whole office floor competing with each other for highest score, in fucking solitaire, because it was the only thing we could run on the locked down workstations. Sometimes it got me in the zone and gave me the sweats the same way a good game of CS did. There's way more to the experience of gaming than the game itself.
>>536130560The concept is still there. In fact, all GPUs still run on 64 bit. The reason 8-bit, 16-bit, etc was a thing was because 8 bits has only 256 shades of color possible, which is very low. Once past 32 bits, the difference to the human eye is negligible.
>>536130367Personally, I only play Civ 4 anymore. Maybe Open TTD or Open Xcom.
>>536127484literally means "new dirt."
>>536126212>Why are zoomers worshipping old garbagebecause its free of gambling mechanicsbecause the roms can be found, loaded, and played on basically any electronic device for free>>536126530not any dumber than all the punrockers LARPing like it was the 50s againtho admittedly the elvis haircut was a LOT cooler the zoomutt broccoli perm
>>536131051Games, in general, do not become more fun over time. We have games that are centuries old and video games that are just virtual versions of those games. Sure they can be novel, but novelty is fleeting and impermanent. The idea that all things get better over time is a fallacy. We would have maxed out our dopamine receptors already.
>>536127651In my day we use throw hulk hogan, the macho man randy savage, and ruddy pipper against a brick wall. We'd call close up or bounce back and the closest or farthest would win and keep both cards. This of course would damage them until they couldn't be used anymore and they would eventually get tossed.
>>536126212It says right there in the headline that they hate new games (like everyone does).
>>536126816actually i just consume chinese slop, no need to go back, the west has fallen vidya wise
>>536128790you prolly didnot only is this is a slide thread, but its just not a new phenomenon. ppl have been "staying behind" a few vidya generations for decades. its cheaper, and a lot of the times the games are just better anywaysfrankly, the only rly surprising thing to me is that it took until zoomoids were in their 20s before they started realizing all of their games were literal gacha-tier gambling slop designed solely to extract money from them
>>536131443The only thing that doesn't fit in with the retro theme is the nonwhite mutt.
>>536126287We know zoomers like handholding in games because the companies that provide data to the AAA companies in exchange for tens of millions of dollars tell them they do, who then release handholding games while telling everyone that it's because zoomers wanted them. Those games flop repeatedly while zoomers are playing Chronotrigger, fan-translated Majin Tensei, Castlevania, and obscure overtuned Zelda romhacks.Maybe it's time to admit that somewhere along the way, the data was fucked by someone who saw an opportunity to print money.
>>536126212>old garbageOld games have much higher replay value, they're still fun and will always be fun. Things like that aren't really considered in modern games unless it's multiplayer focused.
look at the state of modern gamesI don't blame anyone for wanting to go back 20-30 years when gaming wasn't pozzed.
ITT a bunch of broccoli heads act like experts on my own childhood.
>>536131650>Things like that aren't really considered in modern games unless it's multiplayer focused.even then it isntin fact theyre literally designed as disposable. they only exist as long as their server is up
>>536130724Thats actually a funny thought anonYou sweating at your desk over a game of solitaireBut that's a completely different situation. It was a team effort to make it fun. Competitiveness adds a lot to the fun factor. Imagine if overwatch was just one team pushing a payload. That doesnt sound very fun does it. Imagine king of the hill but youre the only player?
Here are the two rules you need to follow to make a good game of any kind: 1. Is it fun?2. Is it easy to learn but difficult to master?That's fucking it. That's all you need. Graphics don't matter, complexity doesn't matter, the medium doesn't even matter.
videogames are degeneratephysical toys are basedyou are now breathing manually
>>536131731Hey, if you've never been in the zone and broken out in a sweat on a hot streak, you've never enjoyed a game of any variety. There are notable examples in my life but solitaire was the least expected.
>>536131740You're just a retard parroting buzzwords some equally retarded gaming kike tuber told you to parrot. You're so dogshit retarded that you can't even fathom the idea of other people valuing different things than yourself.
>>536126212I'd sell mine to some gay zoomer for like 300 dollars but the screen cover popped off a few years ago, I might be able to glue it back on.
>>536131797shut the fuck up and stop posting you little fetal kikelet shitskin
>>536126212Idk why zoomers would get a Gameboy... But I will always want a Gameboy because remember seeing it for the first time, and not believing my own eyes. I couldn't parse what was happening. I only ever saw those Tiger lcd display consoles with one game... And THAT was a banger. Then I saw a Gameboy? Didn't even know such a thing existed, until I saw it. Then the piece of shit kid changed cartridge and it was some other game. I will never forget it.
>>536131807>>536131833haha what the fuck could you even get this assblasted about from my posts? are you some bitter troon from bioware pissed off diversity doesn't make games fun?
