How many of them still hold up?
>>736397202what an odd list spamming 30 fucking years like you wanted edgy niche games but gave up after re4 and just started adding random games that are good
>>736397574The list order is random
>>736397202Only really monkey ball and dkc2 if you speedrun it. A lot of this is genuine crap for vidya essayists and tourists like vtmb and morrowind, and if you start pointing out the flaws in stuff like NGB and SnP you just get that dead fish eyed stare like they never even thought about it and just took it for granted that the game must be utterly flawless. At some point you gotta learn that you can't go back, you gotta go forward. Can't play easy garbage forever. The people praising slop like Ultima 7 are utterly nuts, that's just boomer skyrim. Obviously metal slug is poop and there are way better iterations in that series. Overall this picture just feels like an incredibly superficial skimming of the past by someone who either hasn't been playing consistently or someone who is underage.
Only bad game on the list is Bayonetta
To zoomers? None of them. I remember reading a review where a zoomer considered Half Life 2 clunky because it didn't have proper level indicators on where to go.
>>736397202All of them
>>736397202the only ones worth playing areSuper Monkey BallRed Alert 2KatamariStar Fox 64Metal Slug (3 or X)
>>736397650i know im just saying you were thinking of games along that line but gave up and just started adding random nintendo games made a decade sooner or later basically you were looking for late 90s/early 200s core but gave up cause you are a nigger
why is not starcraft there that is peak uncore
>>736397202Hitman Blood Money is still the best
>>736397202Ico is the best PS2 game
>shmuptroon shitter with no clears is hereAlright pack it up, thread is over
>oldheadWorthless qualifier for a list of good games
I haven’t played a single game on that list
>>736397702My problem with Bayonetta is the combat feels super spammy. You just spam your attacks in different variations and dodge the telegraphed attacks. Not to mention the obnoxious gimmicks and level design.
>>736397856Or there is no pattern as the list is randomly arranged, and you're just retarded
>>736398550>with no clearsWdym anon
>>736397202All of them but the best ones are >Red Alert 2>Banjo Kazooie>Cave Story>DKC2>Pikmin 2>Zelda ALTTP>Max Payne>Star Fox 64>Sin & Punishment >RE4>ICO>Demon's Souls>Metal Slug>Chaos Theory>Contra Hard Corps
>>736397202I'm a boomer and these are the only ones I think are good
>>736398959The tranny unironically thought a Batrider normal course shitclear with low score and deaths was impressive, something a complete novice could earn in a few hours.And this is someone who claims to be some shmup superfan and has been playing them exclusively for years. It's really pathetic.
>>736397678you are jewish
>>736399071Why is it always Super Metroid fanboys that have the worst fucking taste imaginable?Shitty action and platforming, pisseasy enemies and hazards that don't even pose the slightest threat, one-dimensional bosses, and 90% of the game is spent slowly inspecting every title of every room, but it's a masterpiece btw.You somehow managed to pick some of the worst ones there. Fuck off idiot.
>>736399083Anon....https://youtu.be/xbpj6oCYapQ
>>736399136the fuck? I didnt even play super metroid until like 10 years ago. im not a fanboy
>>736397202I've played like half the games in that pic and none of them are particularly good
>>736399136you post your version of the pic so. i assume you are seething as i removed half life 2 which is a boring as fuck game like all of valves games
>>736399152>1 loop shitclear with deaths and low scoreKek, now he's moved onto bragging about something a novice player could achieve in a couple days.
>>736397202I've only played 1/3 of the games pictured.List seems pretty arbitrary
>>736399265That's totally true Anon, everyone should play ketsui. There's no excuses.
>>736399197It's definitely not one of the best games there. It's certainly a cinematic showpiece for the SNES in terms of visuals and sound, but the actual gameplay, enemies, bosses, platforming, and challenge is not all that great. There is no stakes to anything as enemies and hazard pose zero threat (very low damage + very easy to recover HP), bosses are mostly one-dimensional spamfests, and 90% of the game is just spent meticulously checking every tile of every room.
>>736399136Embarrassing post.
>>736399348>Exploration game is about exploration and not boss fights or combat
>>736399348I dunno why you are so focused on super metroid of all things
Mega Man X is better than 90% of the games in that list
>>736399306>>736399221Post your 3x3s or fuck off
>>736399538Mega Man is dead to me now, the fans only care about the crappy rpgs. I'm happier not thinking about it.
>>736399409>meticulously checking thousands of tiles to find one of dozens of copy-pasted numerical upgrades>"""exploration"""
>>736397202Super Metroid makes me mad because of that one stupid fucking elevator hidden block in Norfair. There was zero indication that would be the way to proceed>hurr durr you're supposed to hit every block you canI fucking did that, in Norfair. Before that point, there was never anything in an elevator room. Most retarded gayest shit ever just to sell a fucking guide book. Fuck Super Metroid.
>>736397715how the fuck can you get lost in Half Life 2? you just go forward, the whole game is a fucking straight hallway.
>>736399661>exploring the map to find upgradesYeah
Hard Corps, having earned every ending myself, is extremely good. It's a little dated, but depending on how you wanna go about it, could be a few days of enjoyment or a day and done. Depends if you go with the US version raw or Patched for JP's Difficulty (Where you could take more than 1 hit.) It's definitely worth a spin. If you never played it before, a good (and vital) tip is to use your slide. It has I-Frames and will more than save your ass. Long Live Shimon Belmondo.
>>736399683The zoomie always finds a way to make themselves helpless.
>>736398717i havent once talked about how its arranged you dumb fucking yid
All of them, if you're not an ADHD faggot who's fried his attention span and dopamine receptors with giga short-form entertainment.
>>736399683>>736400271Wasn't there an anecdote specifically from the development of Half Life 2 about how most play testers couldn't find their way out of a straight line cave level without the exit being signposted in the most patronising way possible? Can't blame this one on the zoomers: retards have always existed across generational cohorts.
I'd love to replay Max Payne and MP2. Might get around to that soon, God willing.
>>736401620>if you don't like boring easy games you're dopamine sensors are just fried!!Okay zoomie
>>736401901I'm willing to help your thread survive, but you have to stop trying to bait.
>>736401826you should. i replay the trilogy every year. 1 is still my favorite despite being the most dated. 2 feels great but it's also the easiest one.
>>736401931It's not my thread and I'm not baiting. There are two types of old people1)those who give up and play passive comfortable crap to try and relive being a dumb teen2)people who actually like video games and keep pushing into cooler and cooler stuff
>>736401620>>736401901>>736401931>>736402058What is this reply chain? Is this the dead internet theory on display?
>>736397202>Morrowind>Castlevania III>Deus ExThese are uncslop
>>736402280If so, I'm the only real person in it.Including (You), of course.
>>736401980Used to play the first game a lot because it was that and Halo that came with my OG Xbox, and Halonstarted freaking me out with its little foray into sci fi horror.
>>736397202most of them offer something novel and quality that hasn't been made redundant but they have varying levels of rust you have to get through to enjoy it. like for instance the micro gameplay of dues ex is unpolished and kind of frustratingly jank but the depth of the level design and options at your disposal surpass any mainstream modern game you're likely to play barring some indie wunderkind.
>>736397202not manyvtmb is absolute dogshit
>>736403220Abysmal taste.
>>736403293>retarded uncshit enjoyer has an uncshit opinionpredictable
>>736397202The entire history of videogames can more or less be divided in half at the year 2000 at this point (~1974-2026), therefore nothing that came out after that year should be considered old yet
>>736403318>retarded uncshit>kept Morrowind
>>736398643you aren't missing much, maybe unless you want a history lesson in gamedev with half life and oot
>>736403384it survives based on its unique atmosphere alone, the gameplay is abysmal, the zoomer memes about it are right
>>736403443>I value mushrooms over good gamesAs I said, abysmal taste.
>>736403220out of all the bizarre picks here the one that sticks out to me is the og sh. how you gonna cross out RE which is fun and actually holds up and keep the cheap copy around?i call bait.
>>736403443>unique atmosphere aloneof which morrowind has none of
>>736403506atmospheric horror > run gun shoot, same criticism i had when the game came out and its still true today
>>736403076>micro gameplaynew useless word just dropped
>>736397202JA2 is without fail always installed on my pc
If it used 2D graphics it'll hold up, like fallout and red alert 2, though red alert used voxels Everything else sadly looks bad, early 3D graphics looked like shit
>>736403658
>>736397678id like to hear 10 newer games that you think are as good as these
>>736397202The ones I've played that don't hold up>SotNStyle over substance. Way too easy, bad level design, reused sprites, movement isn't even fun with backdashing being your best option... loved it as a kid but any other metroidvania is better.>Cave StoryGame mostly famous because an indie game by a solo dev that doesn't look like garbage was novel back then. Fun story and characters, good gameplay in terms of movement and shooting, but level design is boring and there isn't a lot of it. Ok game but nothing mindblowing and can be safely skipped.>VtmBThe fact you need fan patches to even play should tell you enough. No one ever praised the gameplay, it's basically treated as a visual novel.Rest of the list I either didn't play, don't remember, or are actually good. Super Metroid is meh too but I haven't played it in so long I'm not willing to commit to this opinion.
>>736403878You're replying to a serial baiter. Doubt you'll get a straightforward or genuine answer.
I love how the new malignant shitposting strategy is to try and piss off the older concept of a /v/irgin as much as possible. Take the culture of /v/ from like 2005-2015 and structure your entire posting style around trying to annoy that type of person as much as possible. It's not even funny shitposting like the word originally meant, which was goofy but low effort stupidity "lol u tk him 2da bar" shit, but not shitposting just means overtly hostile garbage shat out specifically to make the place worse.
>>736397202Oldhead? Aren't you supposed to write a more insulting term there instead?
>>736403556NTA but that's bizarre, it's two different styles of horror and both are action heavy, and calling RE "run gun shoot" is farcical - and I say this as someone who greatly prefers SH and loves running around the school in Hard mode still just to bop little grey niggers with the pipe.
>completely blatant malicious and stupid bait OP>people take it as being genuine and actually agree with it This place has fallen
>>736404172Yeah I've been seeing this for a while but couldn't quite pinpoint what was going on exactly. You put it into words nicely.
boring games. wheres the jank? the personality? where are some arcade games, or some busted ass DOS shit. if you are a “retro gamer” and you only play picrel just kill yourself
>>736397202>Banjo-KazooiePretty fun. Getting all the notes in the N64 version is a pain in levels like Clanker’s Cavern and I lose interest before the final boss, but it’s still a solid platformer>Max PayneEven playing on the PS2 version with its insane load times, I think it’s cool, but the story and style does a lot of the heavy lifting.The dream sequences and final level are a fucking pain.>Star Fox 64Never cared much for it>Metal SlugWill always be good. The later games are definitely better, but I really like the first game’s non-fantasy aesthetic>MorrowindNever could get into it. The dice roll combat and slow ass movement has always been a chore to my zoomer brain.I like the Argonian design in the game though, and its world is more interesting than Skyrim’s.Haven’t played enough or at all of the other games.
There isn't a single bad game in that list.
>>736403809Youtubers love PS1 graphics now.
>>736399409no you dont get it, every game MUST have flashy schizophrenic combat and not give a fuck about atmosphere! otherwise how will "gamers" get their precious dopamine?!
>>736397202None of the western shit holds up. Everything else is good.
>>736397202>BanjoCharming game, great music and levels, but the actual gameplay is kind of boring and slow as fuck. Great for kids I guess.>Super Metroid + SOTNalways and forever, these are still fun to this day with minimal prep needed>Red Alert 2Im a huge CNC fag but I honestly couldnt recommend this is a newcomer, 800x600 is bad enough but the UI is very dated and a lot of missions can be slogs. Still charming though.>Half Life 2Walking sims are still very popular and they all source their DNA from this, so yes.>Pikmin 2yes but only if you really love Pikmin>Star Fox 64Might be the closest thing to a perfect game, timeless.
>>736403658its about the art design, not the graphics. good art design can and has propped up dated graphics. Star Fox 64 is a great example of this. looks great, even today.
>>73639720226 of them still hold up.
>>736403878You want him to list 10 shmups?
>>736405591A lot of the games in OP are in his top games list he spammed until he decided to pick up the shmup larp in the last year
>>736405758That's insane levels of retardation. I hope he kills himself at some point.
>>736405362its honestly shocking how fucking well Star Fox 64 holds up. its genuinely an amazing game that hasnt aged a day.
HL2 can't even stand up to Timesplitters, a console shooter. HL2 is shit.
>>736397202There are two games in this list from the 80s, and even then they are both from the very tail end of the decade. Miss me with this shit. This is not "oldhead core."
>>736406154contrarians should really get the fuck off this board. sick of yalls shit.
>>736397202falsely shitting on quality old games isn't going to fix how dog shit vidya as been for yearskeep coping and i hope your favorite slop game will be the very thing you try so hard to force the unc meme on with old gamesits inevitable and you cant stop itenjoy what you have left retards
>>736407953Vidya is fucked up now because you obsessed over the most boring old games, the games now are chasing after retards like you that actually obsess over the slop in OPs chart
>>736397202>no god hand>no shadow of the colossas>no mgs>no ff7>no ff6>no chronotrigger>no hl1>no counter strike>no DOOM>no HEXEN>no QUAKE>no legacy of kain>no system shock 2>no gothic>no star wars knights of the old republic>no dawn of war>no dark messiah>no warcraft 3>no thiefwhat a genuinely god awful fuck retarded list holy SHIT PLAY BETTER GAMES
>>736397202Banjo, super Metroid, sotn, dkc2, hl2, blood money, max Payne, re4, bayo, ocarina, chaos theory, hard corps
>>736397202All of them. If you are a gamer you should at least play every fucking game to exist that were the best of their years. Every game here was a success and still only the smallest bit of what should be played in someones lifetime.
ALttP is the best game of all time and it will never be surpassed
>>736397202>sin and punishmentwas it that good?
These games are better than every game from the past 20 years.
>>736404040Cave Story rocks. Such an incredibly fun and charming game with really great combat, bossfights, weapons, soundtrack, artstyle. Legit one of the best soundtracks of all time.It could have released yesterday from a team of 50 people and would still be one of the best 2D games, indie games, action games, whatever, of all time. The doukutsu-rs port is fantastic, it's just such a joy to play, the pacing is just perfect.Definitely make sure to use the original translation and soundtrack, they are far better. The new artstyle isn't bad, but I think the classic fits the chiptune soundtrack better.
>>736405362>Banjo is slow and boring>but fucking Super Metroid where enemies and hazards both pose zero threat and 90% of your time is spent slowly and methodically checking generic copy-pasted tiles for the 50th numerical ammo upgrade is not slow and boringI don't know what it is about Super Metroid fans, I don't even hate the game, I think it's decent if overrated, but without fail, EVERY SINGLE fucking Super Metroid fan has atrocious taste and is some midwit pseud with their head so far up their own assThat is the one single litmus test to let me know here is an insufferable faggot with some really shit opinions
