The 4 horsemen of zoomer revisionism
>>
What does that even mean. I played all of these on release and liked them besides mgs2
>>
>>736923534
All of these are sequels that are disappointing compared to their predecessor, but good overall.
>>
>>736923593
You werent even alive back then. We didnt like these games. The idea of them being anything except utter dogshit wasnt even conceived until like 2011
>>
>>736923682
Thats being super charitable have you played any of these games lmao
>>
>>736923734
I've been alive for 34 years. Literally no one had a problem with any game on this list except windwaker, which only had complaints pre release due to the art style. It sold over 4m copies and the pre order came with a second disc festuring Zelda1 /2 OOT and MM with it. Literally an amazing deal at the time no one was mad about. You're the only larper here nigger.
>>
>>736923978
In the video game sales world, every million sales is basically 1 inch worth of dick, less than 5.5m and you got a micro dick worth of sales

And probably because your game fucking sucks.
>>
>>736923796
Third Strike is the best Street Fighter game ever made. All 4 series are in a weird state where people would be happy with another game like that instead of the newest entry. Mario is unique where it's surprising how long they've gone without making a new one at all, so Sunshine just has to be better than nothing.
>>
>>736924450
Metal Gear is in its own boat, Konami isn't the most trustworthy company and both Solid Snake and Big Boss's stories are finished at this point. Plus, with the directions that MGS4 and 5 were taking, I'd rather have MGS stay dead than get a reboot with more retcons and sloppy writing.
>>
>>736923734
You're the zoomer here, the only one of those games that was controversial when it came out was Super Mario Sunshine. People didn't like the Wind Waker trailer but when it came out, it was immediately loved. And no one ever hated MGS2.
>>
>>736923534
Those games sucked so bad i thought they were all dead. Mgs3 was pretty good then went back to being trash, galaxy 1 and 2 were good then mario went back to being trash, sf4 and ssf4 were good then sf went back to being trash

Ww actually straight up fucking killed zelda it really was that bad nothing was good after that

All 4 need a reboot now.
>>
Fucking loser OP. Third strike is incredible and I am among millions that still play it. You have no appreciation for art and you should be force fed shit from a shotgun barrel.
>>
>>736923534
Millennial here. Only played MGS2 and it was kino.
>>
Bad thread premise, bad thread.
>>
>>736923534
I always think of these when someone says 6 gen was THE GOAT as if playstation entering the console war and sega dying hadnt already signalled the beginning of the end for gaming as a medium

Lots of faggy muh atmosphere overly cinematic contrarian slop in this era. Too much water, too many blond twinks. Hated this shit.
>>
>>736923534
>MGS2
It got reevaluated before zoomers had any cultural influence.
>Sunshine
True.
>3rd Strike
Was always popular with people who cared about fighting games.
>Windwaker
There were a fair amount of people who were upset it wasn't dark and gritty and OoT was still seen as the best game ever, but aside from the triforce quest people still liked it. Majora's Mask deserves to be here far more.
>>
>>736923534
turth nuke but zoomers will tell you otherwise
>>
>>736926981
Finally someone fuckin said it. Zillenials have ruined gaming and gaming discourse by posturing as though they liked and played these games that WE ALL FUCKING HATED, because they like the "aesthetic"

These people dont care about gameplay because they dont care about games thats why theyre always jerking off games we didnt fucking like, you know what we liked back in the day? Twisted metal. Fall out 2. Counter strike.

You never hear about them anymore, because the zillenials have diluted the algorhythm, the zillenials have invaded *our* hobby, and soijak fucking faggots have fallen for the psyop

If you care more about aesthetics and narratives which by the way im gonna say it, the fucking water and anime shit is gay as hell, it doesnt look cooler and no, fucking TEENAGERS KILL GOD and YOU / YOUR FATHER are the bad guy or were secretly dead the whole time isnt a fascinating twist, it doesnt inherently make the story better, its cloying and overly sentimental and fucking GAY

READ A FUCKING BOOK IF YOU WANT A STORY AND IF YOU WANT A COOL AESTHETIC GIVE US A FUCKING MACHO DUDE WITH A CIGAR AND A MOTOR BIKE AND SOME ARM HAIR NOT SOME K POP PRISON BITCH FAGGOT

If you disagree the sissy hypno has rotten your mind, stop watching anime RIGHT NOW
>>
>>736923534
All decent but disappointing if im being honest. Mgs2s environments are too homogenous, mario sunshine has a lot of dud levels, 3rd strikes balance is genuinely terrible and parry makes fireballs and anti airs too weak it encourages you to abuse the games parry gimmick and discourages strong fundamental play plus every character just wants to play at crmk range, windwaker is too easy and unfinished

So while theres a lot of hyperbolic AHHHH THIS IS THE WORST GAME EVER type of reastions out there around the games and yeah zoomers like these games and think theyre peak and they dont know what theyre talkin about...

The boomers who hate on these games are irrational autists though

Except galaxy was trash. Zoomer detected.

All four of these games were extremely beloved immediately upon release. To think anything else just paints you as an eternally coping chud.
>>
>i was playing as a toddler
No you werent, even if you were doesnt count. Just fucking shut up and leave the discussion if you think youre an authority figure on something being good if you were shitting in diapers at its release you have no right to talk about it

You cant seriously be barely walking and drooling pissing shitting yourself while playing games and be like oh yeah this is good game design oh yeah these are really good level design and enemy design and themes and characters and whatever

Your only thoughts on the matter are: i was babby and these were colorful pictures on the tv i saw my dad or cousin play

Awesome, cool, just dont pretend you know fucking anything about games

>>736923534
why is street fighter there? that way more niche than the other 3 being that its a fighting game.

Snoys like to pretend that GameCube games were good because they grew up with Nintendo's flop era/dark age (GameCube and N64) and want people to betray the Switch and Nintendo. They seethe at BoTW, ToTK, Bananza, Splatoon, Switch 2, ect. while simultaneously praising garbage like Melee, Sunshine, Wind Waker, Chibi-Robo, in attempt to gaslight people into turning against Nintendo and the Switch.

>All four of these games were extremely beloved immediately upon release
Mgs2 was divisive because of the snake bait and switch and raiden thing, sunshine was divisive because mario fags are autistic idk i never gave a shit about mario,

3rd strike wasnt hated per se but it was WIDELY ignored by most people. Wouldnt say most sf fans hated it because i dont count dumb niggers who mashed hands or buttons with honda and sim as fans who refer to sf2 as the one on the genesis, but sf3 was divisive amongst fans actual fans. Windwaker was divisive partly because of the artstyle triggering spergs who wanted another oot becauae of the space world demo or whatever, but in the end the later unfinished sections of the game ended up being the reason a lot of people still didnt really like it all the much post release
>>
>>736927897
youre a dumb faggot. each of these games were revolutionary at the time and people dont want to admit it because it was a golden age in gaming that they weren't around for. You'll say shit like this then suck the N64s third leg.
>>
>>736928603
Sunshine was divisive because of FLUD mechanics and the premise being... CLEANING UP GRAFFITI???
>>
>>736928614
Oot, mm, and m64 were good but the n64 itself was disappointment -- the gamecube was actually a better system overall and i think alttp was better than oot anyway
>>
>>736928603
Ladies and gentleman... I present to you... the Eternally Coping Chud live and in the flesh
>>
>>736928614
>a golden age
Its good but this always struck me as conceited, its the era you were at the right age to appreciate. Its not necessarily any better than gen 5 or gen 4.
>>
>>736928614
N64 glaze on this board is insane, while having the most mediocre catalog of any and all consoles
>>
>>736928814
I think the faggot larper rage baiter in the thread is a dumb asshole and his whole narrative about these games being entirely propped up by quote zoomer revisionism is retarded... obviously they always had a cult audience, obviously the younger crowd who couldnt yap on forums yet grew up and get to speak on them now and surprise surprise yeah there were plenty of people who liked them

But you also cant just close your eyes and pretend that there was a sizeable cohort of fans of the earlier installments, who were put off by these games

Even if it was for retarded reasons, these games were seen by many -- not even a majority, but a significant chunk of players, as the black sheeps of their respective franchises
>>
>>736929025
>of any and all consoles
Its an overrated console but its better than the 3do or jaguar. It definitely gets a lot of attention simply for being a nintendo console from an era that yapping internet going young adults and millenials like

System is carried by that and just a small handful of popular titles
>>
>>736928603
>>736928716
Sunshine was divisive because FLUDD replaced the long jump and somersault which made Mario's movement feel like a downgrade. Also, Sunshine only had 7 levels while 64 had 15, and Sunshine tried to make up for the difference with blue coins.
>>
>>736923534
Do people hate sunshine? I was never a huge Mario guy, but I liked sunshine.
>>
>>736929349
>was never a huge Mario guy, but I liked sunshine.
Thats the recurring theme with all 4 of these games

Outsiders like them because they dont know enough about what came before, they see ps1/n64 games as clunky and outdated. They always look at them with this preconceived notion, so they always have confirmation bias.
>>
>>736929349
It was the but of a lot of jokes and considered the black sheep of the 3D Mario games back in the day.
>>
>>736923534
Now make one thats "returns to form" that make zoomers angry like sf4
>>
>>736928716
Sunshine was divisive because it was shit then and it's still shit now. Even Gertstmann hated it on release giving it an 8 on gamespot and causing nintentoddlers to seethe back then. I was there on the gamefaqs forums. Nobody talks about that 8.0 because it was overshadowed by the 8.8

I definitely think FLUDD is a step down from 64's movement but honestly I think I like it more than Cappy visually and even mechanically. Cappy is pretty much just a Mario hat with eyes sometimes and I'm not in love with the "throw bounce on hat throw repeat" thing.
>>
>>736923534
Funny how all 4 are in a better state now than they were back then but zoomers lose their fucking minds when you speak the truth

Were getting sick ass mgs remakes, the mario mandate ended, sf6 is the most popular sf game ever, and tears of the kingdom was goty

Were so back
>>
>>736930165
I fucking loathe all 4 and always have but are you out of your mind, how are any of them better off now you retard

Anything that was around while i was shitting myself is good automatically, thats why i like making 911 jokes im a dumb faggot zoomer

>>736923534
I was a gamefaqs kiddie in 2002 and I remember nothing but effusive praise for mgs2, sunshine, and ww. Of course people complained about raiden, but they still thought the game was excellent overall. People talk about how ww was lambasted for its art style but I don't remember seeing a single thread online about it.
>>
Uhhhh
>>
>ackshually in my tiny bug people island, its popular according to an ancient forum post
>>
>>736930990
There were threads immediately after the WW trailer complaining about it.
https://www.ignboards.com/threads/official-zelda-bitch-thread.10015660/

However, it died down when the game came out and people realized it was a good game.
>>
>>736928147
>All four of these games were extremely beloved immediately upon release
There's no way you can say that with Sunshine and especially Wind Waker right there. I can't speak on 3rd Strike, but Sunshine, Wind Waker, and MGS2 were absolutely shunned and shit on when they were new. Not that there's anything wrong with this, but the fact that those three games are now not only being called great but that everyone loved them at the time does prove that revisionism is real in the sense that the people around at the time are not around to shed light on the reality of that time. Rather, the people who were either too young or are still assmad about the reception of the games/consoles at the time after all these years are the ones making hour long retrospectives and influencing.

There are people who legitimately believe that the GameCube was a success and is one of the best video game consoles ever made. In about 10 years time or maybe less, there will be people who will fight to the death that the Wii U was actually a success and was one of Nintendo's best consoles ever made (or among the best ever).

I can see an argument for Zelda and Street Fighter but Metal Gear Solid is long dead and Mario hasn't gotten a new 3D game in almost a decade.

>revisionism is real in the sense that the people around at the time are not around to shed light on the reality of that time
Actually it's more that they don't care about video games enough anymore to hang out on X, YouTube, /v/ and elsewhere to correct it. They grew up and/or moved on to other hobbies. Video games and video game history isn't important to them like it is to you.
>>
>>736924378
really just proving his point that you're a zoomer who didn't live in the era where 1-2m was considered really good.

I grew up with Sunshine and Wind Waker. I like them overall but understand why they're divisive. they have some of the highest highs but also some of the lowest lows of their respective series.

didn't play MGS2 until I was quite a bit older and still think it's a masterpiece.
>>
>>736929349
only speedrunning obsessed trannies hate sunshine because the game is a bit unfriendly to them.
>>
>>736923734
Speak for yourself, there was definitely controversy around MGS2 and WW especially, but they were very well-liked after people spent some time with them
Sorry you didn't enjoy them but there's no need to froth at the mouth about it
>>
>>736933079
>Video games and video game history isn't important to them like it is to you.
I just don't like revisionist history. Your implied point of "let them just have it" makes sense for something as unimportant as video games, but I still don't like it.
>>
>>736923734
zoomer are so fucking stupid no wonder your generation is dead on arrival
>>
>>736923534
>>736923734
Wind Waker is the archetypal Zelda cycle game. Consensus flipped to positive in like 2007. By 2009 it was absolutely adored.

Sunshine was always the awkward middle child. If anything people hate it way more nowadays. Probably because now more have actually played it.
>>
>>736923534
No idea what your buzzword babble means, but these games suck ass
