why do zoomers worship boomer games?
>>730703708these unc games do be kinda bussin fr fr
Why do you keep making these threads>bros look zoomers like my childhood games guiz
>>730703708>that's right all zoomers and kids are TOTALLY loving retro games better buy them now goys
>>730703708Escapism into a world they never experienced
>>730703708Because most modern games are trash.
Imagine being Gen Z and Gen A being born into a world where gaming is at its zombified state that it is.
>>730703708you mean fun games? It's a mystery
>>730703761What the point of playing that game without the cabinet?
all these retarded niggas paying more than the original retail price for shit i've had collecting dust for the past few decades. just by some cheap chinkshit handheld or a pc that can emulate everything, it's not like zoomers care about the differences between original hardware and emulation anyway
>>730703708>97 to 2012>25% is four years>It's unbelievable that a zoomer born in 2001 got a PS3 or 360 (which they now consider retro) in 2010 when he was 9What a bullshit survey
>>730703708Because new games are shit, moron.
Can I sell my old GBC to some kid for $300 now?
>why do zoomers worship games that weren't designed explicitly to suck microtransactions out of you or abuse FOMO to keep you playing GAAS
Because they're better than millennial games.
>>730703807Buy?
Oh god dont get me started.My autistic older brother collects retro consoles as a hobby and it's fucking sad. Everything just collects dust in his room. And he watches youtube videos of people at car boot sales and shit like that looking for 2nd hand bargains. Its the saddest thing. He's 45 years old. I wouldn't mind it if I didn't have to watch that shit. But he watches it in the living room and borrows my money. And if I dont give him the money he brings the house down.
>>730706701why the fuck do you live with your 45 year old brother
>>730706756For the mind-blowing sex, obviously.
>>730706756Because he has Autism and our mum died. Someone has to look after him.
who would of thunk people are drawn towards complete games and full narratives over games split up into DLC and micro transactions
>>730706556actual boomer games are shit like Zork
>image shows a gameboyIt's performative zoomers plays DS on the bus
>>730703708Because no one liked the 2010's
>>730703708Good gameplay reaches across the generations.
>>730707220Gen Z's youth was not in the 2010s anyways>>730706894Well you're not doing a good job
>>730707243Then why is pso not more popular
>>730707025These are honestly super comfy. Text adventures are underrated
>>730707268IM DOING THE BEST I CANDONT TOUCH ME
>>730707319Anon, what more do you want? There are 270 people playing on Ephinea on a weekday night. There were 500+ people on simultaneously at almost all hours of the day during the winter event.
>>730706412Survival biasYou only remember the best of the best in their era, not the bad oneName me 1 game made by those guy, without using Google
>>730707382I want it back on console.Right meow.
>>730707426In english, doc.
>>730703708I have heard that there's this trend among gen Z to "go offline".Which is certainly a good thing.
>new hardware is now insanely expensive thanks to ai faggots>suddenly zoomers love old games and hardwarehmmmmmmmmmmm
>>730703708What else do they got to worship?
>>730708190Communism
>>730703708depending on what is considered "retro", a lot of genz literally grew up with retro consoles
>>730707220The reality is that the 90s and early 2000s were just good.We had gaming magazines(which I personally miss).If you were part of the early internet, while it was insecure it was also just better in terms of the people in it.(not as many indians, not as many bots)In terms of design everything had more character.Games were far more experimental.Social media was far less prevalent and rage inducing.You could just say shit.The only way to see experimental stuff today is the indie space. So there's a reason it keeps surging in popularity.
>>730708465....WHAT DOES CARS HAVE TO DO WITH THIS
>>730703807>thing happens>JEEEEWWWWSSS!!! JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWS
no zoomer plays old games, they are just collecting them for tiktok videos. You can always see some starting area in these videos and photos.
>>730703708>Console is plug and play>No updates, no internet, no subscription, no other requirements than the console, a TV, a controller and the game.Gee I wonder why they wish for a simpler time when consoles didn't require daily updates and hit you up for microtransactions and subscriptions.
>>730707025i enjoyed this format pretty decently by some autist who made a kidnapping/owning game
>>730708531>depending on what is considered "retro"The specific study in OP counted up to the original Xbox
>>730703989what do you mean? games are doing better than ever. the industry is making record profits.
I got a chinkheld last month and it can play everything including switch except ps3 and 360, literally no reason not to buy one since modern phones dont have SD card slots anymore and it feels better having a dedicated device instead of one of those retarded controller plug ins
>>730711431which chink shit or is that just standard to have them all now, also which chink shit catalogue, temu? aliexpress? kikeazon?
>>730709396were not gonna spoil the game unc
>>730703708why do zoomers keep stealing millennial culture? if they keep this up gen alpha and beta will have nothing to take from zoomers
>>730711468i got a odin 2 portal but basically your main options are either Retroid or AYN from their websites, getting shit off temu or aliexpress is more expensive
>>730711501I dont give a fuck about muh culture, I just want to play games.
>>730703708Do you blame themVidya has been shit for a long ass time and with the rise of all the prices it's not hard to articulate why everyone not just zoomers are going back when shit was way less Jewish and retardedI've been ahead of the curve for more then a decade emulating old shit that's far more engaging and fun to observe the history of gaming then any corporate sludge that had been pumped out ever since the start of the still ongoing ps4 era
>>730707268Their cognizant youth was spent mostly in the 2010s.
>>730711229Honestly works. Halo basically birthed modern shooters and internet gaming. I'd go as early as PS2 but no earlier.
>>730711229That sounds about right6th gen was the last era that truly felt old school while 7th gen is the true birth of the modern gaming era
new game>70 dollars>has ads developer tells you to go fuck yourself you dont own shit day 1 microtransactions and anti consumer practices to keep you playing longerold game>free can play on your phone a full experience with intent of enjoyment
>>730703708If all I played for my entire life was Fortnite and shitty mobile games full of ads, a retro console would be literally heaven. Knowing zoomers, though, I think that they're just collecting retro games and consoles to show off at tiktok or something and they have trouble playing games with "bad graphics". They easily fall for propaganda too, retro game prices have gone through the roof, so they buy to be cool.
>>730708190Niggers
>>730711993Old arcade games were "predatory" too but they did that to maximize people engaging with the games in a social setting for a quarter per life and not alone in their room and spending $400 per gacha pull or whatever. Though I'm not really sure predatory is the right word to describe it, but was certainly nowhere nearly as harmful as what we have now.
>>730703708Is there really an uptick in old vidya? I can barely find any channels for this
my 3 year old plays rackdown
>>730703708I am a 1997 zoomer and i am considering going back to some older games
>>730703708Because they were released in a time before corporate slop.
>>730703708>why do younger people like old gamesBecause new games are shit.
>>730703708these polls always misrepresent the data. like when they say 50% of gamers are girls, but they count mobile shit like candy crush and sudoku. what they're qualifying as a "retro" console is probably bullshit, and still a really good chance that it was in the family when they were a kid or even before they were born.
>>730703708Because they're better.
