>replay old game you loved as a kid>it’s shitWhy is this so common?Did we just have lower standards?
pic unrelated btw
>>736004153I noticed this recently when replaying ps2 gta and dragon ball games.
>>736004153It’s more like you’re a retard. I replayed old games I liked as a kid and it’s still the same stuff as it was before. Nothing changed besides the fact that I jerk off to extremely effeminate men with feminine penises
>>736004153I used to play literally every video game genre as a kid (even grand strategy) and now all I play is casualslop.
>>736004153this looks literally ai generatedthis is not a real game
>>736004153Doesnt happen to me>Taz wanted>still absolute licensed kinotheyd never remake that game but the music and level themes kicked so much ass, id love to see it with good visuals.
>>736004153I was scared of this game when I was 5 for some reason
>>736004252holy fucking based
>>736004153The first level is pretty fun to explore, the second level is a downgrade, probably stopped playing there.
despite the meme, its clunky wasn't a thought then, we just enjoyed the video game in ignorant bliss.
>>736004293Fucking retard https://youtu.be/LtvrrdS_9kA?si=Ty3wchSOsLHGGqSX
For most of the games I got for myself, I'd ask my older cousins first if they were trash or not so I didn't waste my allowance
>>736004327It definitely was, we just didn’t know it. We just played the first legel over and over again then moved on to other games(Maybe that was just me, I had hundreds of pirated games on my dada pc and on writable discs, so I never had to force myself to finish anything)
>>736004153When you were younger these games were the peak of what technology was capable of. Your standards only rose after years of playing games. Your original reactions to these games were appropriate for the game. You cant understand this as easily in retrospect. Youre trying to listen to a song for the first time again and wondering why it doesnt feel the same. The song didnt get worse, you just aged and got exposed to more.
>>736004153>replay toys story 2>get filtered by the green goo in the street boss levelwhat the fuck was I eating as a kid to beat that thing effortlessly?
Media you enjoyed as a kid tends not to hold up when you're an adult.
>>736004153still the best 5th gen Mario 64 clone
>>736004337Almost all of these ps1 games had a superior pc port but every time someone replays them, they play the inferior ps1 version, and online stores always remake the ps1 ones. I know, ironically, emulating a ps1 game is easier than a win98 one but the Toy story 2 I played wasn’t this pixelated and running at 20 fpsEven more ironic, that it was actually the big games like Final Fantasy 7 and 8 that had atrocious pc ports, and every HD remake used them as a base.
>>736004323Thanks
>>736004153Of course we did.But also fuck the slime trash can boss and any other disney games that required me to beat the shit out of my spacebar to beat.
>>736004153halo reachkingdom heartsI think its because theyre not in 4k
>>736004153You replayed the wrong version. The only good version of toy story 2 is the PS1 version. Dreamcast sucks, N64 is the dreamcast version but worse.
Legitimately never happened. Resident Evil, Starcraft, Ridge Racer Type 4, Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario World just eternal bangers all the way down.
>>736004670Kingdom Hearts is very clunky and in HD it becomes even more obvious that every level is just a box But it’a worth it to slog through to get to KH2, one of the best games of all time
>>736004153Because as a kid you didn't know any better. Simple.I didn't know any better too.
>>736004326I remember there was an outside level I liked. I also remember an airport level with a bunch of conveyer belts I absolutely fucking hated and raged over.
>>736004153I think I only experienced that with Bomberman 64 TSA, and that's only kind of partially, I still enjoyed replaying it start-to-finish quite a lot.kid me interpreted the massive framerate drops in some areas as a boon, adult me thought it was astounding how common it was.
>>736004153>replaying old gaems and approaching to it with modern standards why are you so retarded? Don't touch old shit if you are pussy
>>736004893Yeah but there's tarmac kino after that where you can use the speed boots to race.
>>736004926>modern standardsLmaoThere are no good modern platformers either. Everyone stops you every five seconds to give you 500 lines of dialog. Every level is floating blocks in space The controls in old games might be shit but at least there is a designed videogame inside
>>736005171>Everyone stops you every five seconds to give you 500 lines of dialog. Every level is floating blocks in spaceYeah they're inspired way too much by nintendo games these days.
>>736004153I have never seen a Toy Story movie specifically because of this game. I hated this game so fucking bad I never wanted anything to do with Toy Story as a kid.
>>736004153pic massively unrelated, i played it last year
I played this on the ps, it was fun, probably one of the best ps games
>>736005318>implying the first level of this game isnt one of the best 3d platformer setpiece of its gen
People like OP are the ones projecting about others only liking something because of nostalgia. I hate midwits.
>>736005646>>736005653You gotta admit, the rest of the game isn't on the quality level of the first level that is actually fun to explore and aesthetically memorable. Good action game, but a letdown compared to the promise of the first level's exploration.
>>736004153Pic unrelated, the fuck are you on about? Toy Story 2 is better than Banjo Kazooie at the very least.
>>736005756The alley and toy store levels were fun, the airport level too as far as I remember
>>736004153crash team racing is one of the few games that wasn't shit when i revisited it
>dollar store license sloppaI think you just had a shit childhood my friend, if you played some real games you'd still enjoy them to this day.
>>736004153>Did we just have lower standards?Absolutely. Games were a lot lower quality in the past and not just in the graphics department. We also got fewer of them and had less experience with what quality looked like.Of course modern games often do shitty things that old games were sometimes better about, but on the whole old games are worse.
>>736005670Small guy in big ass house is always peak level design.
>>736004553ok
>>736004153Always wanted to play the Buzz game shown in Toy Story 2
>>736004293I dunno if it's even zoomers at this point. I'm beginning to think we're starting to see alphoomer teenagers make their way here. I think the oldest gen alphas are 16 now. Fucked up really.
For me it's the toy store with the ball pit.Or the house of the collector with the kino western ost.
>>736007053https://youtu.be/wd7LjYksLDoThat ought to shut up the tranny trying to spread hate about this game in this very thread.
>>736007053Honestly I wasn't as big a fan of Al's Penthouse as I expected because it kinda just felt like Andy's House but not as interesting since it didn't even have the multiple layers like Andy's House did. I do like the toy barn and space land though.
>>736005756>You gotta admit, the rest of the game isn't on the quality level of the first levelI ain't gotta admit shit >Neighborhood >Construction Yard>Alleys and Gullies>Al's Toybarn>Al's Penthouse>Tarmac TroubleAll quality stages
>>736004513Did you pick up the green rapid fire laser from the corner?
Pic related, remember playing the absolute shit out of this game as a kid, tried it again a few years ago and it was fucking awful, every track is like driving on ice
>>736004523I dunno, cartoons like Arthur are still solid
>replay old game from my childhood>soundtrack is even better than I rememberhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nt9_UNTF57c
>>736004719>banger Means a good song, not a good game retard
Theres a few games i think aged worse than i remember but many others i played still feel great.>ratchet deadlocked>jak 2>jak x combat racing>basically any pokemon gameThese all are worse games than i remember them being.Jak 2 is the most blatant use of a pointlessly tacked on open world ive ever seen. Haven city is a giant labyrinth with nonsensical design, and the story routinely had you drive places that take 5 full minutes to get to.Its awful.Ratchet deadlocked is basically just a horde shooter designed for coop, the story barely matters at all. Many missions feel like multiplayer objectives retrofitted for single player, UYA had this problem as well.Jak X is extremely repetitive and the AI tracks just arent that fun.
>>736008683The AI and the tracks*
>>736004513When I was a kid I used to play gunstar heroes on hard and expert and be able to beat it easily. I replayed it again recently and got completely btfo on hard mode.
>>736004153The only time this is valid is when you revisit a Wii game that uses pointer controls. The novelty wore off and it just becomes a hassle, happened to me when I replayed Endless Ocean. Even worse trying to get that shit to work on emulator.
>>736004337>>736004153This game used to legit scare the fuck out of me as a kid. And I can see why, it's still a really scary game.
>>736004248If you hate SA explain now.
>>736004670Both of those are extremely kino though.
Most old games hold up well and shame modern shit. Of course, there are old shitty games too.
>>736004153
It's the same
>>736004670>4kNo, it doesn't need 4k. It needs a good artstyle.Also, if you played KH2 after this, it's hard to go back to KH1.
>>736004153>qual-é-a-opinião-de-vocês-sobre-o-jogo-de-ps1-do-toy-story-2-v0-dzl75jpv8vcf1.pngYou're brown and so is your opinion.
>>736004153This shit hits me in weird esoteric ways when I see this, I knew even when I played it when I was young there was something strange about it. Just looked at some playthrough, feels like an acid trip.
>>736004153Kids have shit taste and often you were stuck with like 2-3 games so you had to make due with the games you had even if they were garbage
>Replay Paper Mario 2>Jokes aren't that funny anymore>Notice more flaws in the writing>Game can be easily broken apart and level design relies too much on backtrackingBumped down the game from what I considered my most favourite game down to a 7/10 or 8/10 game. And no I don't even consider the first game to be better even.
>>736004153My 9 year old ass loved that batman and robin movie too. Kids will like anything no matter how dogshit they are
>Replay my childhood favourite game>It's just as kino as I remember it being
Got this game from a friend back then.It fucking sucked super hard but i still loved playing the shit out of it
>>736004739>KH2, one of the best games of all timeIt's not even a game. It's just a "press X to win" simulator with cutscenes.
Boring. What about absolute dogshit games you played the shit out of as a kid because it was all you had? Like even back then you knew they were shit.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63SxW13RqVk
>>736004293That’s Toy Story 2 the movie tie in game. It definitely existed. It was a 3D collect-a-thon game when those were popular and everyone was still figuring out what to do with 3 dimensions for video games.
>>736006452
>>736004153If you think that's bad, try watching anime as an adult.Basically cringe yourself to death.
>>736009115you're not the only onesee>>736004316>>736008850and methere's just something eerie to it
>>736004293>alphatoddlers are calling my childhood games ai generated now
>>736010179Must be nice to be Gen Alpha, anything you don't like (made post 2022) you can just call it AI and nobody can argue with you.Back in my day you actually had to prove shit.
a demo disc was enough for me to be happy.
Toy story 2, Jackie Chan stunt master, croc 1 and 2, crash bandicoot, yep these were great ps era games
>>736009980The game was being developed before toy story 2 the movie released, maybe that's why it's strange
>>736004153BUZZ! OVER HERE!
>>736009650Thanks, Gemini.
>>736004293We will reach a point where humanity will actually believe history is just all AI generated, I guarantee it
>>736010713You're welcome, zoomer.
>>736010637stuntmaster and croc was badtoystory2 was though best game ever, or something
>>736004474Games today are fucking dogshit, what happened? Did developers lower their standards? It doesn't add up. By your retarded logic, everything should be better now, but it is all irredeemable garbage and the worst part? Someone is growing up with it. Imagine what they'll think 20 years from now. If modern games are anything to go by, the worst is yet to come.
>>736010786Stunt master is the best ps game
>>736010703No time to lose!
>>736010703NEED SOME COINS HERE BUZZ
>>736009769It is the opposite. Media that I cringed at in highschool is entirely palatable now. I noticed that regular well adjusted adults never cringe. If they think something is stupid or childish, they simply do not concern themselves with it. You are simply autistic.
>>736004248I'm assuming you mean III and Vice City, because I liked them at the time but San Andreas made them really not fun to play.
>>736010764:heart:
>>736004153I really enjoyed this game as a kid. Bait posts aside, does it actually hold up?
>>736007218>Tarmac Trouble Also a candidate for best music.https://youtu.be/3MijajDCCOw
Don’t agree with your pic but it happened to me when replaying:Dead space. The game is too easy. It’s just a bland action shooter and it’s incredibly ugly.Crash bandicoot 1-3. The games felt tedious to replay and all the vehicle missions suck.Spyro 1-3. Made me hate collectathons. They feel more like chores than games.Sonic adventure 1 and 2. These games are legitimately awful.Prince of Persia SoT and WW. Just way too repetitive and boring. Parkours slow and combat’s gets eh pretty quickly.
>>736011121Also fable 1 and 2.And the GTA games.
>>736004153dumb zoomer
>>736011121Holy shit taste
>>736004153It's because the mechanics have become familiar with you. Enjoyment of a game is directly linked to the number of first experiences the brain encounters while playing it. This is also why childhood is more enjoyable than adulthood (and why your perception of time speeds up) because you encounter more novel experience.All gamedevs need to do to make a game good is do something new with it, yet publishers won't let them do anything that isn't a proven success.
>>736011213Triggered
>>736004153TrueBy the 2nd stage you realise that every map has the same fucking objectivesIts just lazy game designthe stages are pretty cool tho
>>736006924Check out Toy Story 3 on Steam. It has a level that's just that game. I boot it up every couple of years just to play it.https://youtu.be/XuRo3vnchQw
Spyro 1 gets better every time I replay it. The impeccable art design with its gorgeous fairy tale atmosphere and subtle worldbuilding, the goated Copeland soundtrack, the cozy collectathon gameplay that never outstays its welcome. Truly the greatest 3d platformer of all time.
>>736011348Yes, by your shit taste. It's like watching someone drive around in a Ferrari, then go back to some cheap Soviet era lemon while calling the Ferrari shit.
>>736004553That is because configuring DOSbox is beyond 90% of people and getting early windows games to run often requires tools like dgvoodoo2 and winedvm (16 bit installers yo) Vs "lmao duck station". Plus "what the fuck my xinput only controller doesn't work bugged game fug dis".
>>736011634Dosbox is outdated unc
>>736006936Chat, is this pic from the before times real or is it ai?
>>736006924There was a buzz light year game that was like a 3rd person platformer/shooter. It was pretty mediocre but eh, you play what you have.
>>736009176It's even better when you compare it to what came after.
>unlocking the grappleshotLoved that shit, the alley was a pain in the ass tho
>>736011704You think people that just play the worse psx versions without nostalgia know exodos exists?
>>736011772I really liked warped, never understood why it is so disliked.
the only good games when i was a kid was shit like halo or cod or japanese games. i never liked these stupid fucking babygames because they arent cool
>>736011725Buzz lightyear of star command. I have an OEM disc of it buried somewhere as it came with a PC we got back in the day.
>>736004153I used to play the PC version of this game with my dad. We got stuck at the Zurg boss fight after the elevator level. Neither of us knew at the time but it was due to a bug caused by a high framerate that made the fight almost impossible. Since we thought it was a skill issue, we searched the internet for tips and tricks on how to beat the boss but to no avail.Years later, I returned to the game with the knowledge of said bug and was able to beat Zurg with ease. I excitedly told my father but he didn't really care all too much. I suppose that figures, but my childhood memories of playing the game with him are some of my fondest.
>>736011865Too many non platforming levels and said levels are not as good in quality Vs the platforming levels. Hot Coco for example.
>>736011725I remember that game, it was pretty bad lol
>>736011725>>736011914I tried BLoSC recently having only played the Toy Story 2 Action Game as a kid and it was almost like some shitty time-trial thing where you were racing villains through levels? Seemed way shittier than the sandbox-style levels of TS2.
>>736004153speak for yourself, I only played bangers like the Lego games and kino Star Wars games
>>736011964Ah, yeah the water levels, never thought much about them they weren't bad just kinda unfair, I guess they didn't like the auto runner levels either, my least favorite were the bike levels but I still enjoyed them.
>>736004252Bro thats gay and indicative of deep emotional issues.
>>736008871nta but the overabundance of minigame missions makes the game fall short for me
>>736004153That Toy Story game is still fun imoMost 3D platformer/adventure games are kind of braindead in the gameplay department (outside the rare few that widely recognized as good) but they're usually serviceable enough.I'm playing through later childhood games as we speak. Currently doing playthrough of Hitman Codename 47. It was kind of widely recognized as the more simplified version that Contracts did better but I'm still enjoying it. But even back then Hitman didn't really start coming together by 2.
>>736004153If this post makes anyone want to play this again and you want to do so on Windows, some guy made a patch that un-fucks it on modern machines.https://github.com/AndetSTK/ToyStory2Fix
>>736004252It's still the same stuff as it was before because your brain has not developed to adulthood. You're a manchild, and bragging about it.
>>736004248PS2 GTA games were always the shit versions. Replay them on PC and you'll right away notice how good they still are.
>>736004153>replay Command & Conquer: Generals, one of my all-time favorites, but it'd been like a decade since my last playthrough>30 fps, no widescreen, feels sluggish to control, crashes constantly (even with community patches), just a shit experience in current year>replay SM64>camera is beyond awful, genuinely ruins it>replay Vice City>controls like shit (on PC at least, maybe it's still OK on consoles)I didn't like this recent revelation that I now dislike many of my old favorites.>Crash Bandicoot still plays great>Pokémon (gen 1-3) is timeless>old Final Fantasy games all play fine (even if FF1 is a buggy mess)>Donkey Kong Country 1-3, Super Mario World, all still perfect gamesAt least some of them are still good, it's not everything.
>>736012053There are definitely time trial hoverboard levels, but I don't think they all were.
>>736004153that's a good videogameperhaps you're a flaming faggot
>>736011025yes its good, nothing ground breaking, but i didnt get bored when playing it. i like the construction and the toy store levels a lot
>>736011121>what if good game was badanother masterclass of a post, bravo
>You literally do not know better>XYZ QoL features that exist in most modern games not in this one because they didn't exist yet.>You've played it before. For some people this takes the shine off. For me it really depends on the game and is true of literally any game, but worth remembering. >You aren't a free child with surprisingly high amounts of fuck all else to do. Even if you're a basement-dwelling neet usually you've at least got something else on your mind. Not dumbass 8 year old you.>alternatively your childhood is shit enough you're willing to really immerse yourself in a game to not focus on the hell going on around you. >You used to just be more easily entertained. Like how you used to watch vanilla porn and now you're only aroused by handholding goat sex anal. >The game actually was always shit but you forgot due to the rigors of time and unfailing fallibility of memory. >It's a (you) problem and the game is actually great, you're just a miserable shit.>You're the /v/ equivalent of reddit threads where they ask something incredibly fucking banal tricking morons into replyifuckTake your pick. Impolite sage.
>>736013373>replay SM64>camera is beyond awful, genuinely ruins itI'm sorry but I really disagree. The camera is of its time, certainly, but it hardly ruins it. Left to its own devices, the camera is generally fine.
>>736004153Not precisely a kid, actually a young adult but Galaxy is too slow now, guess that when I first played it I was too excited that I didn't notice how not only the movement is too restrictive but also the levels take too long to traverse
>>736009980Good to know I'm not the only one, I've always hated Toy Story because of it
>>736011634kinda wish duckstation didn't exist so these retards would get intantly filtered by Retroarch
>>736004523Amazing how much that happens>used to think Mr. Bill was the funniest shit as a kid>Found a Mr. Bill DvD at one point as an adult>watched it>this is fucking retarded
>>736009176i miss playing this game so much
>>736013894Then they would just use epsxe. Default plugins of course .
>>736004523I still enjoy most of the same games I liked as a kid. Same for the anime I watched back then.
>play old game as adult>its good>get told on /v/ i only think its good because i played it as a kid
>>736013703That’s what the thread’s about seething dickhead
>>736013818Fair enough, I think I'm just too used to analogue cameras, it's been 20 years of them.
>>736014256When you play old game for the first time as an adult and it's fun, imagine how awesome it would be to play it as a kid.
yes, you're retarded and you realized even the slop is better in the future. People tried to push the nostalgia meme too far.
>>736014256>play old game as a kid>still play it as an adult>think it's good the entire way>"You only like it because of the nostalgia"How do I convince them it's just genuinely good?
>>736004248I replayed SA recently and it still is one of the best games of all time. I think the main difference between people who loved and hated it is if they learned how to drive properly or not.
>>736015462>no online MP>goodNot possible
>>736015731>no battle pass>no DLC>no neon green gun skins mtx>no daily login bonuses>no balance patches>not a shared, always online worldHow did boomers cope with such boring, solitary games?
>>736011475Now thats cool, never knew about that. Thanks!
>>736015926I'd love a full game based on it. Unfortunately TS3 just has the 20-minute level in the video. Every so often, I just install it, play that level and uninstall.
>>736004553this, i played it in 1440x1080 on pc in 2002it was amazing kino, runned super smoth on accelerator 3d the game is kino but the last 2 levels are rushed (final boss is recycled 3 bosses at once)
I think Wrath of Cortex was the only game I ever hated as a kid
>>736006924this is litterary one of the boss levels in this 1999 game (yes it's on moving elevator)
>>736004248Play a good ps2 game like Burnout 3, some Colin McRae Rally or gran turismi. GTA since 3 has been about novelty and violence, nothing else.
>>736004553Sadly, some are utterly broken like Bugs Bunny Lost in Time, where the colors are just wrong no matter what settings you choose for it. Which is a shame because it also has better audio, not just video
>>736004153Funny, my family was poor so all of the PlayStation games I had as a kid were cheap used games that fucking sucked. I emulated a lot of PS1 titles for the first time about 6 years ago and I thought you story 2 was a pretty good game, as far as collectathon platformers go. The n64 version of toy story 2 sucks, no denying that.
>>736012053>>736013423The way it worked was you were chasing the bosses to the ends of the levels and if you got there first they'd have their health reduced before you fight them. It wasn't really a time limit though, you could just ignore them and dick around at your own pace. Each level also had a proper time trial mode and this sort of scavenger hunt mission where you had to find all the hidden robot parts to beat it.It's a decent enough licensed game, but it's one of those licensed games where I think you'd only really enjoy it if you watched the cartoon as opposed to just enjoying it for what it is.
>>736011865Warped is my guilty pleasure, 1 is fun but very simple2 is objectively the best out of the trilogy, tons of great stages, movement tech, secrets etc.but 3 is what I remember the fondest, the good stages that are there are really fun, like the pyramid, arabian and medieval stages, even the bonus stages, but then there's the atrocious flying levels, motorcycle levels and to some extent, the water levels. New powers, secrets you unlock with those new powers, it's just a fun experience.I feel the same about Crash Bash as I did with Warped, they're flawed games but tons of fun.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wue31LZdk0The CD quality music makes Toy Story 2 one of the best video games ever to exist, on its soundtrack alone. And on top of that, it's a great game.
>>736019974The CD audio is so fucking good. I wonder why the Windows version had such shitty compressed versions, despite coming on a CD.
the ps1 tenchu games are awful, but the music in the first game is amazing.
>>736019117Thanks, I'm a bit of a Buzz Lightyear autist so I'll maybe enjoy it. Looks like there's a fix to make it work properly on modern Windows, so I've ordered a CD-ROM and will give it another try.
>>736019117>>736011725Jeez, Mira, what did they do to you?
>>736010179They unironically think "retro" is exclusively a stylistic choice and not what games actually looked like 30 years ago.
>>736021362holy shit I completely forgot about that cartoon, memory unlocked
>>736009203Even back then I knew the game was shit but we still played it.
>>736006936alpha starts in 2013 so the oldest ones are 13. also it's 90% aibros falseflagging, so they can claim people can't tell ai from reality
>>736013373>replay Vice City>controls like shit (on PC at least, maybe it's still OK on consoles)Also replayed it recently and would like to add:>missions range from short and annoying to long and boring>city is literally dead with barely any traffic and NPCs anywhere that's not the Hotel Beach area
>>736004153As it turns out, I just had an awesome childhood, every game I loved is even better as an adult.On the other hand, games I'm told are great from someone else's childhood I play end up being shit.
>>736012768They’re literally the same games anon.
>>736004153Toy Story 2 is great, what the hell are you smoking?
>>736021432i recently found out some disney executive hates the cartoon. that's why it never got a dvd and it's not on streaming. same with dave the barbarian.
>>736021868I've seen claims it starts at 2010 because that's the year the ipad released. Generational start and end points are usually always up for constant debate anyway though.
>>736021362the game was great, tough as nails for a childdidn't much care for the animation, you can't beat Toy Story movies
>>736021362She's affine woman.
>>736004248i think that 3 and VC are still kind of fun, but san andreas is really tedious
>>736004153skill issue
>>736010786>Stuntmaster>BadHow about you go fuck yourself
>>736004293You fucking dipshit mongoloid
Applies to most UKjank games of the 90s, ESPECIALLY Rare games. In fact Rare is a whole company held up by scrimblo bimblo nostalgiafags
>>736021934Controls like shit? The hell do you mean? WASD and mouse you tard, the controls are nearly 1:1 with GTAVs. >no traffic You are a blind retard if you cannot see the cars in front of you through the whole game, there's only 1 specific spot that traffic doesn't spawn and it's a singular bridge by the golf course.
>>736022467I have some really shitty TV rips on my Plex, which seems to be the best I'll get. Fucking Disney clowns.
>>736004252>Nothing changed besides the fact that I jerk off to extremely effeminate men with feminine penisesSame except also sometimes they are furry male shortstacks
>>736004293Perfect bait apparently
>>736004293maybe if you were born in 2009
toy story 2 is one of the best ps1 platformers though? shit taste OP
>>736008963based DESA enjoyer. Fucking kino game that most people have never played, i'd choose this over THPS any dayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHizDCO_Ja4
>>736004153When I was a kid, I wasn't capable of understanding that a game was shit until I hit a certain age. Instead, if a game had awful controls or was buggy or had bad hit boxes I just assumed it was too hard which made me play it more. I probably had hundreds of hours in this terrible Toy Story 2 gameboy game with this miserable Castlevania 1 delay on the jumps just because I thought it was super hard and wanted to beat it.The first time I realized a game was bad was when I played Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly on PS2 after loving the original trilogy. I was never the same. I miss the innocence.
>>736015843I always liked being alone
>>736009013I like the legally safe knockoff gigan
>>736029041ohhhhhhhh that takes me backDESA is one of those games that's also a great time capsule
>>736004293You joke but I kinda get what you mean.
>>736029297I got that game from blockbuster and I distinctly remember that B was the jump button for some raisin. Not sure if that was default or just a changed setting from the last kid who rented it.
>>736004523False, Kingdom Hearts is still kino.
>>736009203I borrowed a Latam bootleg from a friend who went onto becoming a popular young doctor in Mexico, he was kidnapped by a cartel and forced to be a medic before they dumped him god-knows-where. One of the biggest signs that most Mexicans are clueless sociopaths is the fact cartels can look at the Z team and go>¡Literalmente onions yo!without some form of shameRIP Paul, sucks you never got to see Broly 2.0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AknUazrPunchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weAZMs7e9uYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qvyh4QX2ebwEveryone jerks Biggest Fight off, but the whole soundtrack is amazing. I hate the new music in DB games so fucking much, a lot of old themes are gone in the name of generic techno-rock, I know like 75% of the iconic setpiece stuff was "creatively" arranged or just outright stolen melodies, but it had soul, and evoked the magic of loading up random DBZ roms into ZSNES and other bad emulators as a teenager
>>736009724NTA but that anon is right. For the many normalfags who played good games like punch out or super mario bros 3, there are many people who were unlucky and grew up playing absolute trash shovelware that doesn't hold up at all today. It's the same reason why you can see some retards defend low effort poorly designed garbage like UFO 50, who will then seethe when you actually point them to masterfully designed NES games from the era that shitty indie slop failed to capture. Not every game was made equal and many childhood titles suck ass today because they were also shit back then. It's not even a matter of games aging. They were just trash. JRPGs are also a good example
>>736031626I remember buying The Dream Master (at mini kinoplex THE WHEREHOUSE) because I liked Nemo (arcade) and the movie, even as a kid I knew this was a where-the-fuck-do-I-go game, but I did that a lot with birthday money for games our local rental place never had, but at least it was used. Most video stores had about 50% of what you actually wanted to play until vidya renting became more mainstream/legal, so if you were REALLY curious, you sometimes had to take a chance on something that was shithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fv-ghjDQ-ZsThe arcade one is fun with a friend, and I've only seen one in the wild once at a Straw Hat PizzaAlso, this existshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRUuW0QaULg
>>736025172Gamepad controls on PC are all fucked for some reason. It supports gamepads natively, but the controls just don't work properly.
>>736033125Because it was never properly updated for native support for modern controllers. There are patches that fix this.
>>736004153I really liked X-Men Legends as a kid, but when I tried it after growing up, I realized that it's an incredibly shallow game all around. But it was fun to see heroes blow things up back then.
>>736031531Most mexicans are terrible people, this hellhole can only produce such horrible beings, the "culture" itself allows it even encourages it, I'm sorry for what happened to your friend.
>>736004153I honestly can't recall a shit game I enjoyed as a kid. The closest thing for me would be Dragon Ball Sagas I knew it was shit then but I liked fucking around with bugs in that game with my brother going out of bounds and putting enemies in infinite combos.
>>736004153>jumping on shit is fun as a kid>jumping on shit is less fun as an adult who's been there, done that many times
>>736004153this is why I haven't replayed banjoI am absolutely sure that it didn't age as well as SM64 so I'd rather it just stay a nice memory
>replay old game you loved as a kid>it’s still great
>>736036003Didn't play this growing up, but it's a great /vr/ rec. Games like this, which had a solid gimmick, didn't have it overstay its welcome, and never iterated on it again are really fascinating. Like the game is great, just didn't get the sales or recognition it needed.Somewhat reminded me of Sin and Punishment, with the stilted dub, story you have to read a manual on or infer based on context, and just the overall arcadey atmosphere.
>>736004153I had this happen with every 3D GTA game but I actually realized the best way to play GTA is by trying to survive max stars with a full loadout and your favorite car. Most of the missions in GTA fucking suck.
>>73600415337 yr old hereStarted a new gane in DK64Played the training areaCompleted itI don't want to play this anymoreShut it off and watch TV
>>736004153>staring at loading screens: the game complete with none of the soul of the first
>>736004153Most of the games I loved as a kid I still enjoy them today, even games that were already old when I played them I find them fun.
>>736004153thankfully i dont have that i problem.; I can enjoy a game perfectly fine knowing they are a product of their time.
>>736038554Honestly, it's more fun seeing them all as time capsules of game conventions and what was cool at the time.
>>736038583yeah. for example I was playing the psone bugs bunny game it is mega jank but i ahd a lot of fun. the visuals are pretty alright for the time. so is the arale game and the psp yakuza games. it is fun to see how they get around their own restrictions.
>>736004337what the fuckthat fucking RC car bitch was literally IMPOSSIBLE to beat he must have some kind of cheat
>>736036003What game is this?
>>736040598Silent Bomber
>>736004153>Did we just have lower standards?yes. everything on the n64 is wildly overrated trash that aged like milk.
>>736043465Thank god it was also on PC.
>>736004153You were a kid. You're no longer a kid.Do you ever ask yourself why games released today are shit to you? Do you ever ask yourself why adults thought games were a waste of their time, when you were a kid?Come on man, you gotta be able to piece this one together on your own.
>>736004248PS2 GTAs were fun as a kid because they were just a fun sandbox, they suck as an adult because you have to force yourself through the trash story missions.
>>736043774>pedestrian riot>weapon set 1>infinite ammo>spawn a rhinoyup it's gaming time
>>736043636>Do you ever ask yourself why adults thought games were a waste of their time, when you were a kid?That's entirely different from knowing most new games are kusoge, they grew up with different values, people that grew up with the radio thought the same about tv, same with those that grew up with none of that, they can't find the value on videogames because there was nothing to validate them, overtime some people broke through and proved to the world that playing videogames was often a better experience and could bear results if done properly.New games are standardized, there's almost no experimentation anymore, the only thing devs change are graphics, it's the main focus and instead of developing something fun they just try to make something visually appealing.
I played this when it came out with my little brother. He was 8 and I was 13, we really liked it and it was the N64 version. A few months ago I decided to play it again. This time I played it on PS1 emulator. I had fun, its pretty easy and at times frustrating. I'd never recommend it, but at least I finished it. To this day I haven't been able to complete Witcher 3 and RDR2 because they are boring movies to me. At least Toy Story 2 is pure gameplay. A solid 2/5 which is mediocre, but still playable.
If you can't enjoy a few minutes of Mario 64 every so often, you might just be a jaded old faggot.
>>736044249I never liked mario 64 even as a kid. I have always preferred SMB3 and crash bandicoot.
>>736044249>>736044112I miss having feels like happiness and excitement.
>>736044405>I'm gaycool, dude.
>>7360444653D nintendo games have never done it for me besides starfox 64 idk why
I remember climbing off the top of the treehouse. I wonder if this will give brain worms to anyone else.>OuuuOOOOOOHH...>OuuuOOOOOOHH...>OuuuOOOOOOHH...>Ouu-ACK.
>>736044452I guess someone destroyed that for you, it's still there you just have to let it out, I never allowed anyone to dictate how I felt but they tried, they still do, you just have to stop caring about anyone else's jaded opinion.
>>736044808Nah this life is pretty bad and I think the last fleeting joy I'll get is when I know it's coming to an end. I mostly play video games to drown out my own thoughts these days.
what a piece of shit. how did I even play this trash as a kid, I have no idea
>>736044994It's linear and you were the target demographic.
The only thing that feels different and there's no going back to is length.It felt like you used to play the one videogame for hours and hours and months. Either from just playing and jumping around and looking for secrets, replaying, or just straight up not being able to beat it.Boot up a childhood game now and you'll be done in an hour or two.It might be a good game still but it's shocking to think about.
>>736045142Having Spring and Winter breaks, Summer Break, and even sick days made a difference. You practically got married to your games, especially if you were from a family where you could only get like one or two every other month.
>>736009176It has the right amount. I never liked the time relic stuff.
>replay game from your childhood>it's better than when you were a kid
I replay Perfect Dark on occasion and it's still solid, but the varied weapon selection isn't anywhere as cool since the automatics dwarf a lot of the guns and all of them are kinda dry other than maybe the Laptop Gun.
>>736004513the trashcan green goo boss was just way too brutal compared to other bosses in the gamewhat were the developers thinking?
>>736019974>No time to lose!
AY BUZZ OVER HERE
>>736019974to this day I do not know how to properly jump up from the wheel loader to the building structureI know you have to stomp the button so the thing lifts at the front but it's so awkward to jump from thatI always cheesed it and I failed the jump like 9 out of 10 timeshow did the developers intend that anyways?
>>736034945i like the setting but the music and enemy spawns were killing my interest. i couldnt get pass trunk's stage i think due to dying to the boss
>>736004153Shut up buzz I'll kill you
>>736021432this scene always stuck with me for some reasonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEaa3HvnKQQremember thinking how fucked up it was, not that his partner betrayed him, but that he replayed him giving the eulogy a bunch of times while laughing about it and mocking him
>>736009203The opening was awesome though.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4wCK1tBTlg
>>736004153>had the N64 version>could never beat the game because the memory card attachment would always randomly get corrupted and erase the save file>had to use cheats just to be able to play the later levels This shit also happened with Turok 2, we mostly just ended up only playing it for the multiplayer mode.
>>736007683It was the island game that we all liked
>>736007632NTA but that doesn't spawn until his final phase IIRC.
>>736004153when you're younger your metabolic rate is higher which biases your brain towards dopaminergic signaling making everything seem interestingit's why coke users do weird shit to their rooms, their minds think everything they're seeing is new and fascinating you can partially return to this state by just fixing your diet to optimize your thyroid
>>736004153Nope, can't relate, my taste in vidya as a child was immaculate.
>>736004523no you just had shit taste as a kid
>>736004153I loved pretty much every game I played as a kid, besides Minecraft for whatever reason. My favorites were Fable 3 and Prototype 2 I’m an ‘07 zoomer but I’m well aware that both games are regarded to be the worst in their franchise.I played Toy Story 3 as well, though in all honesty it is a pretty good game. The only game I’ve gone back to recently and had an absolutely miserable time with is The Force Unleashed, which was a lot harder than I remembered. I couldn’t get past the Shaak Ti fight. Also it ran like shit but maybe it’s because I was playing on PC?
>>736004153Pic unrelated
>>736051410Same, I still love almost every game that I played as a child. There are of course a few exceptions, like recently I played a PS1 game called Porsche Challenge. I remember liking that game a lot when I was in elementary school, but it doesn't really hold up. The driving is very simplistic and not very satisfying. To get the best turning in corners you have to tap the handbrake button, but the handbrake is so oversensitive that it's almost impossible to get it right. So it doesn't feel rewarding because of how inconsistent it feels. Also the tracks I feel are very boring and there aren't many of them either. You are forced to play the same tracks but with very small variations, which might have felt mind-blowing back down but now I just hate it.
>>736050674Peppa! How goes it?
>>736004513You're supposed to kill him using charged laser shots. It's like the only time in the game where they're actually necessary to use.
>>736004153>most games as a kid were piss easy>except some that were too hard that I never completed them>ffw to adulthood>replay the hard ones>they are piss easy now>replay the easy ones>they are too hard and I can't finish themhuh?
>>736004153Pac-Man World 3. To be fair I played the DS version which had less combat, which is a good thing because the combat is repetitive.
>>736053026I played that game for days and liked it a lot at the time especially those obscure shortcutsbut yeah it has like 5 tracks with some variations
>>736004523sorry anon, you just grew up at a shitty time. all my childhood games are still fucking awesome.
>>736004153Should have played better games as a kid
I don't have this problem with that gen of games. Maybe NES/SNES games I played with but I still like them nostalgia-wise.
>>736056167How tf were your supposed to beat yugioh games as a kid?
>>736009980That alley level where it's raining (and the boss is some goo blob, that did freak me out a bit as a kid) has a depressing vibe for some reason>>736011025I think so, there's a lot of verticality in some levels and exploring them is still cool imho
>>736056167I didn't have a hard time with Claw as a kid, reinstalled recently and I can't even beat level 4
>>736057020One of my friends found a way to dupe the cards and we all ended up having the best cards, kinda defeats the purpose tho
for me it was streets of la on the ps2, felt like complete shit when i emulated it a couple of months backpure kusoge but the music carried the entire experience
>>736006924sus
>>736011121Uh yikes, my heckin comfort games :/
>>736012618I wish I knew this when I played it. Fucking snoy making dpad the main controls for a 3d console
>>736014537Analogue camera sucks. You shouldn't have to take your thumb off the face buttons in a platformer
>>736006936i was born in 1997 and i've been here since 2007 so its plausable, difference is that back then if you were underage you knew to shut the fuck up and lurk more, todays kids are literally autistic to the bones and have 0 awareness, also posting from their phones to boot
>Did we just have lower standards?Most of the games i liked playing are not even being made anymore, from the double A development side or not even from the indie scene. So how can my standards be low if nobody ever attempted to design something better? or in the rare instance that they did it was inferior?
>>736060428This is why zoomers want everything to be remade, because their shitty brains and reflexes can't adapt to anything unless it's standardized to how things are "now". Games are not better.
>>736011865I'm of two minds. The water levels were meh, the jet ski levels gave me cancer, and the motorcycle ones were also pretty rough. But at the same time, the Egypt levels in Warped are some of the most kino Crash levels in existence. Deeply enjoyed the level with the rising and lowering water levels as a kid.As I got older I realized I was the 'nice water' miiverse guy but as a 6 year old.
>Replay game from my childhood >Still holds up, maybe misses some modern QoL but that's itThe only exception is Bubsy and NEStroid
>>736004523This happened to me with Ed, Edd and Eddy.Seriously, I loved the intro when i caught on TV and when the show started the high pitched voices and jokes just kinda annoyed me.
>>736063346Most cartoons from that era are bad
>>736004153Maybe cause you played it already? Replaying a game just to play it, instead of playing something new/different, is bizarre.
>>736009203Its funny because budokai was 100% possible in play 1 as shown here https://youtu.be/EOk3sTwQPlQ?si=GkbfWNuobqsZmNO3its just that anything bandai makes, its shit.
>>736004153pic unrelated? this game holds up
>>736009203man this game sucked back then too
>>736004206I was gonna sayit really set a high bar for licenced video gamesit's up there with "a bugs life" mandon't imply those things
Tarzan was kinda fun too, tho everyone hates it now.
>"old games were bad unc, you just have rose tinted glasses because you played them in your childhood">Download and play an old game that I never played in my childhood at all>its still way better than new age slopThis has been my, and I imagine many other /v/irgins experience.Old games really were better
>>736004153My tastes have changed. There were lots of PS2 games I grew up with a kid that I think are terrible now and tons of games I wouldnt have touched as a kid that I love as an adult
>>736063905>it really set a high bar for licenced video gamesFor childrens ones maybe. There are a few rare exception licensed games in other areas in the early 2000s too which many people missed/failed to pick up on because it was overloaded with forgettable stuff. But i suppose it was a rare one for the PS1 library or whatever. Then again i think some shovelware made for movies is like five times above the quality of a modern indie game so thats just me. More effort went into presentation at the very least and contain usually higher production values. They usually just suffer from dull gameplay even in the worst case scenarios.
>>736009769>argai the prophecy was on tv when I was a kid>get dvd set several years later>it still holds uptime traveling french kino
>>736004153I find that most of the people who have this perception were the kind of people who played licensed tie-in games, sports games, and "tech showoff" games (ex 2D era games with pre-rendered graphics). The three overlap a lot in demographics. Also people who did no research and bought solely based upon the box art. People who actually did their homework on what they were buying, and who cared about gameplay instead of "It has popular thing in it! Must conform!" tend to still like the games they played because they were always good.
>>736064257>For childrens ones maybe.that's a fair caveat and a well made pointalso yeah on the PS1 or equivalent such as N64toy story 2 on the PS1 was still a damn great platformer and it had some really neat fucking levels
I've been on the pre-2007 pill for 12 years now and my life has been better for it
>spyro>chocobo's dungeon 2>jak & daxterI dunno I think you just had bad taste OP. I played that game as a kid, it was fucking trash.
>>736011725That was favourite game as a kid. I dunno why, but I LOVED it more than any other game we owned.A few years later finally got a Ps2 and I thought Ratchet and Clank was a ripoff of Buzz Lightyear, since they both had each level take place on a different planet, and had a variety of sci fi guns.
>>736004153Can't relate
All the games I played as a kid that I enjoyed are still fun. Shenmue is the shittiest game I've ever played.
>>736057960I've noticed that zoomers are saying owned more in MP games. Not sure how I feel about that. I guess as long as they don't resurrect pwnd.
>>736012212>Bro thats gay and indicative of deep emotional issues.No, those are just your delusions that have nothing to do with reality
>>736012768>It's still the same stuff as it was before because your brain has not developed to adulthood. You're a manchild, and bragging about it.You're just projecting, kill yourself retard
>>736069484Millennial LARPing has become a major movement with them because their core nostalgia sucks dick, like 10s shit didn't kick off at all even though by now it should've reared it's head.
>>736012768that's not how it works
>>736067140I dunno about you but i picked up the rage inducing bad games even back then as a child so when i played Toy Story i remembered it as exactly as it was: good. I played that shitty game for The Grinch film on ps1 and it was just as bad as i remembered it being.
>>736004252So you didn't grow at all as a person?
>>736057020cheats
>>736004153Picrel not related?
>
>>736072473I remember that, I remember I got to the second last level as a kid but couldn't get past it
I've never had this happen.All the games I played as a kid = greatest video games of all times, even after 40 years.
Sounds like a you problem, aside from a very few, all things I liked back then I still like now
>>736004153I am also here to say >Pic Unrelated
>>736004252Were you molested in between playing those games? It sounds like it.
Licensed games used to be pretty goodhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4jj9bcZ108OH YEAH
>>736004153Idk it's still a competent break out
>>736038429Its fucking criminal how they treated the original game's developers
>>736009203this was a game I rented from Blockbuster and immediately knew I had ruined my entire weekend
