What exactly is the problem? What "frustration"?Why can't zoomers enjoy their own generation's games instead of bandwagon jumping on games and consoles from before their time? Not that they can't like them too but why the hate toward modern stuff?The retro market already got hefty in the 2010s when millennials entered the work force.
>zoomers have no cult-lmao the nursing home is malding huh, no unc you got it wrong, nobody gives a shit about your uncslop
>>740019648>it's another failed childless 40 year old whining about gen z thread
yeah man, just like spotify is dead and EVERYONE is going back to modded ipods and using soulseek. it's definitely a real shift in the market and not an online larp for terminally online faggots desperate to stand out. totally. everyone's going back to cds, crt tvs and retro consoles too. normalfaggots have finally broken free!
Because modern games and platforms suckYou've got to troubleshoot the fuck out of games or jump through launchers just to play games on pc these daysNobody but pc uncs are going to put up with that shit, they're just going to play a system that boots up and puts you in the game
Probably all the bullshit taxes modern games come with them;Constant updatesThe fact you never own anythingThe horrible ratio of price:good gamesThe only hope for gaming is bareback pc, but most people are mouth breathing slugs who will opt for a consle or steam because it's "easier"
I have generational D&C fatigue.
>>740019962I find it pathetic as a millennial that other millennials are like in their 40's and already whining about younger gens. Boomers at least waited till they were 60 till they started with their get off my lawn shit. Also we never created the games of our youth so taking generational ownership of them is retarded
>>740019648And how does this affect you, personally?
>>740019825I remember the "VHS is coming back" stuff not long ago. I knew it was bullshit even then but what I don't get is why they think anyone believes this. Or maybe Aaron Greenbaum is just trying to convince himself.
>>740020318I own an original run sealed Citizen Kane VHS tape and best I can get for it is a dollar
OK zoomers, here's your to do list:SMB3Mega Man 2BattletoadsthenSuper Castlevania 4Donkey Kong Country 2Yoshi's Island
>>740020318vinyl records got a recent boost in popularity so gamblers started betting on old data storage making a comeback with the retro crowd
>>740019648>What exactly is the problem? What "frustration"?No good games.
>>740020408Proof you've beaten them first
>>740020449I feel ya. When I was a kid, my favorite franchise was getting a new game every year. No idea how zoomers are supposed to become fans of franchises that drop a game per decade.
The most popular console for the last decade is the Switch, the home of a million ports. The third pillar of the current industry after normie AAAslop and gachashit is indie games, most of which are much closer to boomer games in design. There is literally nothing odd or surprising about it.>>740020408Yoshi's Island and DKC2 are the best of all those games though. And Castlevania 4 is just mid compared to 1 or 3.
>>740019962>>740020056as someone who was born to 40 year olds and has been ostracized from my entire family for living in an entirely different world and listening day in and day out to 70+ year old health problems and death and nigger bullshit any time anyone under 60 complains about anything age related I want to swing an axe into their fucking skullyou are NOT old until you have a stroke and can't fucking walk on your left side anymore, or start dying of cancer, or need hearing aids or a triple bypass heart surgery>HURRRR YOUNG PPL DON PLAY DUH RIGHT VIDYA GEMSgod I wish the holocaust would happen for real
>>740020605Those are late SNES games, of course they're the best. SCV4 is important to play since it basically released alongside the SNES and was, for a time, the most advanced game ever made.
>>740020616It really is pathetic>"heh I as a 40 year old had better video games and movies as a kid checkmate zoomtard"nigga get off 4chan and have kids time is ticking
All zoomers must be exterminated.
>>740020810please for the love of god do not have kids if you are over 35you will ruin their life
>>740019648The frustration of having your wallet constantly getting raped by battlepass and subscription services maybe ?
No other generation has as much trash as the 8 bit generation. A handful of games are great, yes, but the vast majority are absolute garbage. The 16 bit generation is superior in every aspect
>>740019648This is horseshit. All the zoomers I’ve met in uni think PS3 games are unplayable due to age.
>>740021012Every game that exists today, every genre, existed in some form on the 8-bit. Every generation since has just been an upgrade in graphics.
>>740020408>all Nintendo games
>man newer games are shit>huh? gen z are playing older good games?>WHAT THE FUCK. WHY AREN'T YOU PLAYING NEWER GAMES. STOP PLAYING WITH MY TOYS RIGHT FUCKING NOW!This is the only place on the internet that foams at the mouth over some 20 year old zoomie choosing to play on a PS1 or PS2 instead of playing the latest AAA pozzedslop. Nobody in real life fucking cares.Can someone please explain why people on here have this cringeworthy mindset where they feel the need to start generation spats 24/7, declaring what belongs to them and who can't touch what?If you're in your 30s doing that, you should've grown out of that. If you're in your 40s doing this, please just end it all.
>>740019712I wonder what the guy that made the original 4chan post thinks about this. Someone took his showerthought idea and became a millionaire off it.
>>740021113I don't think you're ready for MSX or Master System, but if you want to dip into SEGA:Sonic 2QuackshotDynamite Headdy
>>740019648Zoomers are nothing but posers. They don't play old games (pre-2005), they just larp as they are.
>>740021131Old people that never left this site and are failures in life make threads like this.
>bandwagon jumpingIt's literally just playing a video game you fucking loser.
>wow hahaa zoomer shit sucks we had good shit back in our day>nooo stupid zoomers stop playing old stuff stick with your garbagethis cannot continuethis must stopthe "generation war" has spiraled out of control from being light hearted ribbing to baseless seethingevery "side" just makes shit up about other "sides" and then gets mad over itconstant misattributions of something belonging to one gen when it actually belongs to anotherthe generation separation not making any sense if the first placeI know this will fall on deaf ears but I am begging you people to stop for a moment and actually think what you are achieving by getting mad over zoomers being like this or millenials being like that. Especially when half of the things are just made up nonsense not rooted in anything but misattributed stereotypes.
>>740021139I made a shitpost vocaroo that got reuploaded all over YouTube and collectively massed over a million viewsIt's weirdIf I had never uploaded it anonymously in the first place it never would have spread like that
>>740021264So... /v/?
>>740021139Yea it's almost like "do nothing, win" is just NEET cope. That director did something with that post and won
>>740021139pretty sure he was already schizo
>>740019712
>>740021264I don't play games from before my time either. Mostly because they look like this. Can you tell me why I should play Millipede in a world where Monster Hunter exists?
>>740021528Historical curiosity about your hobby.You wouldn't get it.
>>740021262I own all Sega and Playstation systems and a Coregrafx. My issue is zoomers hardfocusing only Nintendo because they are braindead cattle even when retro is concerned.
>>740021335it's so fucking stupid because it completely ignores realityI was born in 97, but I have always been poor as shit and had an older brother so my first vidya were on the N64 and the Gameboy color, I played a game gear at a family friend's house when I was dogsitting as a kid, I watched the fucking three stooges and andy griffith and mister rogers on public access, and in my teens-20s I spent hundreds of hours playing in a literal arcade with people old enough to be my dadI am more cultured on old media than 99% of people alive but I still get lumped in with roblox faggots by even bigger faggots who have nothing to be proud of except whatever arbitrary time their nigger parents decided to have unprotected sex
>>740020757ngl I did not know Castlevania 4 was a launch title as I am also a zoomer.>>740020810The Internet has given zoomers a lot more knowledge and interest toward older media. The same fucking clips and memes from old spongebob still get posted everywhere on the Internet now. It is a different world.>>740020937You are sad. You need to play Pragmata.>>740021012The worst era of gaming is easily the PS4/Wii U era. Bad for the same reasons as the current gen and there wasn't a huge indie scene to fall back on for good games.
>>740019825I actually think this is a bit different. There's a clear invasion of AI shit and normies are noticing it too. Not all normies love AI. The cases of people buying VHS or records again was a fad that happened when we were just bored and drained from everything being modernistic.This is different, because AI is taking over things. They're making new things that people actually don't want to use. People who bought CDs and Vinyls again were still listening to Spotify, and playing woke cringe, they just wish new stuff was as good as old stuff.Now it's different, because there is no way they even want to use the new stuff.
>>740021338I made a fake image at the start of the Ukraine war that was posted all over Ukranian and Russian subreddits each accusing the other of propaganda and eventually was shown on Russian news
>>740019648Idk. As a zoomer, I don't really play new games. I play Halo, WoW classic, Arma, Minecraft. New games just suck and have no spirit of adventure.
>>740021612How hard do you have the blow in the carts for that thing to start?
>>740020905this
>>740019712The hack frauds had a pretty good take regarding this that zoomers have been living in shitty times their whole life, they where toddlers in the post 9/11 era and by the time they where teens it was the social media boom, enshitification, then trump, then covid, now its trump 2 and all the wars an economic issues popping up from that and the entire generation is just hopeless. On top of all that 90% modern media is dogshit. Its resulted in a completely hopeless generation of people so their only resonating with depressing hopeless shit and nostaliga for a time before they existed. Backrooms got popular because its kind of both at the same time.
>>740021662I was born to undiagnosed autistic 40 year old parentstheir abuse and ostracization and complete inability or effort to relate to me and my interests has unequivocally ruined my life I have been ostracized by my own family since I was born
>>740019648Gameboy is simpleGameboy isn't trying to be a live serviceGameboy isn't trying to sell you DLC and add-onsGameboy isn't bending over backwards to appeal to a specific minorityGameboy is for everyone :)
>>740021738Of the 10+ cartridge systems I own over ten cartridge based consoles and none of them need blowing. Clean your shit.
>>740019648You sound autistic as fuck.
>>740021775I think you had shit parents more than it being a generational thing. Both my parents had me very early and they were the same way and made no effort to relate to me.
>>740021824>>740021668It’s not a real trend. It’s just boomers (writing the articles) confused by algoslop. Just because something hits your feed doesn’t mean it’s popular. The algo thinks you personally like the content. I see shit in my feed all the time that isn’t popular, but it makes you think that everyone else likes it. Retro games are, by and large, an investment scheme just like trading cards. It’s not something most normies like. They’re all addicted to gachaslop. People who actually play retro games can’t afford investor pricing.
>>740021824>Gameboy isn't trying to sell you DLC and add-ons
>>740020056If anything, millennials are to blame for the current crop of garbage movie games
>>740019825it literally just is another tiktok trend. zoomies can't ever think for themselves
>>740020427Vinyls are just a different beast, look good on shelves and the mechanism to make a "modern" record player is relatively simpleVHS tapes and players are a mess
>>740022134As a millennial I agree we are to blame for a lot of stupid nostalgia shit as well. What finally made me realize this was when they announced the new Duck Tales show years ago and it was mostly mid to late 30 year old cheering in the comments or complaining about how different it looks. Not a single person under 30 gave a fuck about it
>>740019648>their own generation's gamesName one that isn't fortnite
>>740022082What about new games being made for Gameboy? There's a growing scene for it and you don't have to pay out the ass for them
>>740021668no offense but young people don't even know what "the internet" is. they grew up with tiktok, instagram and youtube and no other sites and AI has been around since before they had pubes
>>7400221303rd party
>>740019648im in that weird middle ground between zoomers and millienials and having already had a big retro phase a few years ago Im certain games just factually peaked at like the late 90s/early 2000s, games got progessively better since the 80s up untill the ps3/360/wii generation which was the start of everything going back down the other way. We are at a point now where some NES games ive played are kicking the ass of most modern AAA releases. Zelda 1 kicks botw ass btw.
>>740022254Millennials didn't make Chrono Trigger boomers and gen x made it
>>740022130I had one of those stupid light attachments. I always thought the gameboy advance was so shitty after using a Sega nomad. At least the SP fixed the backlight issue.
>>740022061They were shit, but you can't even attempt to relate to someone about video games who starts screaming at you for "clicking the computer screen too fast" or who can't figure out how to attach a file to an emailthere is literally no one in my entire family I can relate to and share my interests with
I am 22 years old and I was born in 2004.I was only 6 years old when the iPad came out. I had a PSP-3000 instead.I was only 13 years old when Fortnite came out. I kept playing Team Fortress 2 instead.I choose to play older games because they were always around in my house. My older brothers born in '90 and '97 influenced me in that department.I will not stop because a Millennial on /v/ told me I am not allowed to like them.Also, I like fat bitches. Thank you for listening to my TED talk.
>>740022280That is not a “trend”, that’s a small handful of hobbyists along with whoever Palmer Luckey paid to do a sponsorship. Minus the government-funded billionaire, retro games have always been a hobbyist space.
>>740022130>all 3rd party shitYou buy a cart, it's yours, no one can take it without doing it by force, the game is complete and (mostly) breaking bug-free, and you don't get messages to buy the new version or plumber armor DLC every time you boot it up
>>740022294They made tons of stuff themselves here is just one example
>I playded an old game>This mindbreaks soilennials>>740022373>Also, I like fat bitches.Based
>>740022346>there is literally no one in my entire family I can relate to and share my interests withThat's the job of friends and cousins though. I never expected my mom to play video games with me or anything
>>740022437That's useful considering the brick GB consumed 4 AA batteries in a few hours
>>740022393see>>740022437and pic is another one>>740022527Game Gear was so much worse. You literally didn't have the power to beat a single game
>>740019648>buy a shitbox PC from your college surplus sale>can't ever hope to run any of the modern AAA releases>can easily handle and store the hundreds of thousands of retro emulators and ROMs plus low performance indies>play vidya forever for just $80that's what I did when I was poor as shit and bored
>>740022239As someone who actually grew up with them VHSs are dog fucking shitBarely any content per tape, the tapes and players themselves were the biggest pieces of shit, the quality is terrible, you have to spend 10 minutes rewinding the fucking thing, the players are massive and require professional training to even try to maintenanceI fucking hate discs compared to cartridges but having everything on Bluray/DVD instead of a fucking tape was a godsend
>>740022654>Can't fast forward>Can't rewind>Entire movie breaks if you mishandle the CDWow what an improvement
>>740019648Why aren't 10/10 modern games selling? Who could have possibly predicted this trend...
>>740019648More broccoli head millenial culture appropriation, it never ends does it? Are they the most rootless generation yet?
>>740020810>Have kidsWith who? 90% of women under the age of 55 are all insufferable, don't want kids or are barren already. Society is collapsing and that is exactly what it should do since the only way out of our current retarded cultural norms for relationships is if more people start suffering from the consequences of their own and their peers actions. If your over the age of 16 you are more or less fucked since the cultural sickness has already taken root in you and your peers. Either pray for artificial wombs or hope that whatever bitch you decide to shack up with doesn't make you want to blow your own brains out before your kids reach adulthood IF you even succeed at in putting them in her in the first place before her time runs out or she decides that she would rather cuck you with some other dude.
>>740022507when I had my friends over I had to take them outside because my parents were screaming at each other every dayThe one cousin who's close to me in age is a girl and became a heroin addictI couldn't even make friends in my neighborhood because everyone is sequestered away in their suburban castle and I never learned how to drive, my school friends were too far away for me to ever see them very often also I am autistic and barely ever had friends anyway, and the ones I did have either moved away or just ghosted me and never made contact againmy birthday parties were mainly just 2 guys and the first year they stopped responding to my messages was when the light in my soul died forevernow I am a misanthrope
>>740022728>can't fast forward a disc?????????are you a fucking shitskin banana eating nigger?what the fuck are you talking about? that was literally the fucking selling point of DVDs
>>740022861posts like this are funny because you are acting like you are making the choice not to find a woman and have a kid and not that you being a shut in incel is the issue
>>740022759I saw a playthrough of Mixtape the other day, it's basically an interactive audio visual art piece.It is not a video game, nor is it indie.I would recommend playing Dustborn over Mixtape, at least Dustborn pretends to have gameplay and is actually funny at times even if it is unintentional The fact it got a 10/10 is a failure of video game journalism
>>740021643This is exactly why the generation grouping is fucking retarded.A person born in 1997 probably had a button phone as their first.Someone born in 2000, just 3 years later, might have gotten a smartphone (if they were wealthy).15 years is an insane range for grouping people and as you pointed out ignores the fact that poorer people are going to lag behind "their generation" in media consumption. Or someone living out in the sticks versus someone living in a major city.There is also the fact that women and men have different trends affecting them but a lot of these "You won't believe what Generation Fuckface is like!" blur the lines resulting in a visible uptick of accusations of cocksuckery.A bigger factor affecting younger people might be that they are less likely to have older siblings who directly or indirectly introduce them to media from other "generations", so they end up seeming like they have a more limited range. Let us not even get into the can of worms that is content-on-demand, Tailored to your interests by The Algorithm™.There is a video that is floating around where a "zoomer" is struggling with one of those space age can openers and all the "boomers" are laughing. You retarded dipshit, don't you think you were the one that was supposed to TEACH YOUR OWN KID how to use COMMON HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES instead of POSTING YOUR OWN FLESH AND BLOOD TO THE INTERNET TO BE MOCKED OVER YOUR OWN FAILURE AS A PARENTAL FIGURE?I too am a Zoomer Prime because I also struggle with those fancy city slicker can openers as all I had growing up was the manual one you physically stab into the can that was probably older than my parents.
>>740022863Yea there are more issues here at play then just your parents being dicks clearly. You cited a lot of things as being the issue but never any fault you put on yourself which is telling.
>>740019648>NOOOOOOOOO YOU CANT ENJOY THINGS FROM BEFORE YOU WERE BORN HOW CAN I GENERATION WAR IF YOU DO THAT???
>>740022728>Can't fast forwardCan.>Can't rewindCan.>Entire movie breaks if you mishandle the CDSo handle it properly then. I could when I was 7 years old.Sucks to suck I guess, but that's not my problem.
>>740019825I figure the only time this "retro revival" shit has ever been remotely true is for vinyls. Even then it's mostly for the artwork and inserts, most vinyls aren't played remotely as much as they would've been back before CDs became a thing.
>>740022859>culture appropriationYou know you sound like a woman, right?
Josh WHEDON is to blame for this
>>740022957women put -1 effort into everything because they can just go on their phones and have literally THOUSANDS of guys with more money than you at their beck and call in an instant women have ruined gender relationships by being evil attention whores who don't live in reality and are obsessed with waiting for their prince charming that is surely coming any day now and won't just pump and dump her like the worthless shell of a "human being" that she isthey post pictures of their tits online but call the police for "rape" if you try to talk to them in person
>>740023083Stop stealing millennial culture and trends you broccoli head fuck.

>>740023162This is literally no different than a nigger screaming about wypipo stealing dey culture, except its even more embarassing because the "culture" is video games that anyone is allowed to play.

>>740022957>IncelAh, there is that word again. I guess being in 5 different relationships and fucking 8 different women just aren't enough to not be considered "celibate" in our modern culture.I'm speaking from experience, which is why I sound so fucking bitter about it because nothing will ever shatter your worldview like a good dose of bitter reality. Out of every person I know under the age of 65, only 3 of them are in successful long term relationships (they are still childless though) and the people that actually managed to have kids all hate themselves for it and as far as I've been told it's not because of the kids but because of the person they chose to have them with, which goes for both men and women.

>>740023220I didn't say everything is your fault but I guarantee you waste hours of your day on this site for example and that is one thing you are personally at fault for.

You faggots will spend 10 hours on this site, spam anime little girls you masturbate to then go "woe is me why won't any decent girl like me" how fucking dense are you?
>>740022759whoever made this shit clearly never raced a shopping cart in their life.
>>740023235Is that why one of the most popular female coomer mobile games is filled with lean and muscular men that all act like angsty teens that drone on and on about "I could really hurt you... But I won't... But maybe I will?" and "Your literally my entire world, if anything ended our relationship I would take my 10k folded nuke and blow up the earth with my *totally* not super powers!"
>>740022990To be fair, if you can't figure out a fucking can opener just by looking at it you deserve to be made fun ofIt's just a circle blade nigga, stick it in the can and squeeze Just like how I make fun of my parents for still not knowing how to handle basic computer functions when they are essential for modern life

>>740023769SHUT UP.
>>740023718We are probably the same age or about odds are you saw a random commercial or show or movie where someone used a can opener and that's where you got your first exposure.

>>740023889I literally forgot how to use one until I had to open a can recently and I figured it out in like 10 secondsIt's just simple mechanical knowledge, it's a fucking blade and two gears, if you've played old archaic ass video games and figured them out you can figure out a can openerI played infinitely more complicated musical instruments in middle school, get good

OP here I don't have a problem with zoomers liking old games I just can't underdtand that "frustration" with modern games.If you don't like paying for services or DLC just pirate simple.Also pS2 is not fucking retro, for whoever said that>b-but /vr//vr/ got anally gangbanged by ERPing zoomer mods and fucked it beyond recognition
>>740019648>Why can't zoomers enjoy their own generation's games instead of bandwagon jumping on games and consoles from before their timeBecause $CURRENT_DAY games have 97% of probability of being a bad diarrhea than an enjoyable game, you'd have to be terminally braindead to not be bored to death playing any new AAA game and most indieslop soulstrash/rogueslop/metroidvaniaslop.Plus, there's nothing wrong with playing old games someone recommended to you or you're interested in playing, specially if you pirate said game and don't engross the pockets of a lardass scalper.

>>740020408>SMB3>Mega Man 2>Battletoads>Super Castlevania 4beated, fucking love Castlevania 4>Donkey Kong Country 2>Yoshi's Islandgay ass shi
>>740024204Everybody who lived it knows VHS and cassette tapes were shitty cope
>>740019648Oh no, now the retro market's going to get even more expensive
>>740024204VHS were pretty bad quality wise yeah, the rewinding only takes about 10 sec but the absolute worst thing about VHS is that all of them beak after a certain amount of views, depending on the quality of the tape (which was up to the guy doing the recording/distributing the movie) it could be anywhere between 20-200 viewings before the recording became so bad that it was pretty much unwatchable.My favorite movie as a kid were Tarzan and I still vividly remember how disappointed I was when half of the move just turned into static after having watched it for the 100th time.
For zoomers, video games are about socializing. They'll say they play older games so they can socialize about it online. They aren't playing new games because they all play Roblox and Fortnite, which are used as platforms to socialize with their peers.It kind of puts the industry in an awkward spot for single-player games when the huge bulk of their customer base is getting older and older.
>>740024527For millennials, video games are about socializing. They aren't playing new games because they all play WoW and FFXIV, which are used as platforms to socialize with their peers.See? I can make a retarded, untrue post too
what, are you expecting me to shell out 80 bucks for nigger samurai: the microtransactions and get lectured about lgbt rights by an npc? instead of playing peak from the last 50 years?
>>740024476We got a failed experiment at a man with this broke bum ass nigga. Mods, nuke this loser. Order up.
>>740024527Vidya is dying because the devs that pushed for GAAS never realized that there will never be enough players to justify its costs and any player that grows used to the constant drip feed of content will never be satisfied with anything else.The industry is dying by Sudoku because the "expert" sociologists and psychologists that they hired were all playing with fire from the very start without ever realizing it.
>>740022990The internet (social media specifically) in general has made people more openly sociopathic. Thinking the internet space is important and your opinion on here is worthwhile has completely ruined the mentality of literally millions of people. Might be billions at this point.All so you can have your 10 minutes of fame because you felt the need to broadcast someone's embarrassment to the world.
>>740023187>balkan conflictsPicrel wouldn't exist without those, so shut your bitch ass up, they were great times.
>>740019648>Paying over 70 shekels to play Lesbian pirates where you get lectured about pronouns
>>740022990It's even dumber on 4chan of all places, where you're anonymous and, presumably, here because you're not a big fan of whatever the normalfags of your generation is doing. At some point it's just two idiots pointing fingers at each other going >YEAH WELL YOUR IDIOTS ARE DOING THIS SO YOU'RE LIKE THATfor 500 posts and 250 images.At least there are alt-chans this shit doesn't happen, but 4chan is a lost cause.
>>740019648>waaah why don't zoomers play old games?>zoomers play old games>waaah why are zoomers playing old games?Modern stuff is slop. What, are you gonna complain if a zoomer watches Metropolis or 2001 and realizes how utterly awful modern hollywood productions are in comparison? If someone reads Shakespeare and realizes the English language can be used for so much more than what he gets in light novel translations?
>>740019712Nobody has ever said zoomers have no culture, they say that zoomer culture is just nigger culture.
>>740019648t.born 2003i can only speak for myself but it's really just a way to cut down on doomscrolling and social media/internet in general. it's like nicotine patches to take you off the unhealthy high of cigarettes. i still have my vita from a decade ago and have been using it again a lot recently, i bought an ereader as well and have read more full books than i have in my prior adult life (currently three). people sometikes talk about how "the internet used to be like a place you visited willingly, but now it's all-consuming" but i only find this true to the extent of retards getting all their opinions from "influencers", which isn't really all that different from your parents getting all tjeir opinions from cnn or fox news. if you make the minimal effort to just get away from the internet for some time, it's quite nice.
>>740020408I'm a zoomer and beat all of these except battletoads (you didn't beat it either). I play almost exclusively games from the 80s up to the 2000s.Now how about these picks:Doom (DOS)XeviousRolling ThunderShinobi (arcade)Final FightCastlevania (NES)Battle Garegga (arcade)TetrisNinja Gaiden (NES)Ghosts n Goblins (arcade and NES are astoundingly similar)>inb4 arcades didn't matterI find it funny how allergic millennials are to MAME. I'm sure many zoomers feel the same way about NES/SNES/genesis games.
>>740025535Do they? Do they really get their opinions from influencers? Or do you just surmise as much because that makes it easier for you to dismiss said opinions rather than engage with them?It's fine if you don't wish to engage, but don't pull the pseudointellectual LARP to cover up your crimes.
>>740025674>I find it funny how allergic millennials are to MAMEWhat in the dog shit dick niggertits are you talking about, retard?
>>740025797>to cover up your crimesNot him but is it really that serious to you to use that kind phrasing?
>>740019712>$75M budget>backroomsit is would literally just be a shit loads of empty sets with nothing in them. how? who is embezzling the money? it should be like absolute minimum budget garbage, not high budget
>>740019648Old games were made by masters of the craft, who had to make games playable on hardware that could barely run a word processor.
>>740025674The only shooters I need are Konamis.
>>740026003>10Mi'm as retarded as the people watching it
>>740019648>What "frustration"?idk, maybe the article will tell you if you read past the headline.
>>740025917Don't be so literal, brownoid. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
>>740026003The budget is $10m, illiterate shitskin.The image says they expect a 75-85M opening weekend. Meaning that's how much they expect to make.
they are all obsessed with phones. why not just emulate everything? anything from psp and ds backwards should run easily on anything
>>740020408Gen z: Don't waste your time playing nintendo you'll turn into a millennial.
>>740026175they do. that's what most zoomers play nowadays, emulated old stuff.
>>740019648>Why can't zoomers enjoy their own generation's games instead of bandwagon jumping on games and consoles from before their time
>>740026253So they'll turn less LGBT, and whiter?
>>740025858Useless /vr/ posters who think MAME is hard, even though most millennials have known how to use it since 2000
>>740026386why is every lolcow a white tranny in their 30s then
>>740026429Same reason why your hallway always chirps.
>>740026386>less LGBT>more nintendo>whiter>more nintendohooo boy
>>740026291never thought i'd say this, but if that is true then my hat is off to them. they might be alright
>>740019648having 1700 dollars of pcs illegally lawfared off for not upgrading to win 11 or buying ps5 games is pretty annoyingnot as annoying as losing 40 trillion dollars over having a micropenis

>>740019648Hmm, lets see what has happened past ten years...>Trump being president twice and everything shit he shoots out of his mouth and down his pants>Social unrest due to economy>BLM riots and how openly corrupt and fucked up the US police is>Epstein thing and how openly the US government protects the rich pedos in all industries>In general all of the idols of young people turn out to be groomers or rapists or scummy in other ways>Corona that fucked up people's social circles>Social media and having to be always online has been fucking up people's way of interacting in general>Vidya is nonstop buggy launches, always online, mtx hell, lootbox drama, "REMEMBER THIS IP!?", crossovers, and Fortnite for fucking years>Everything is a remake of REMEMBER THIS IP!?>AI slop fucking everywhere, you can barely trust any person to be a real human these days>Russia's attack on Ukraine and the USA government being buddies with Putin>Israel doing a genocide right as we speak and USA government being buddies with Israel>USAs attack on Iran>More and more shit that USA has done in past is coming to mainstream from constant destabilization of Middle-East and Americas due to red scare and constant blockade on Cuba for example>If you are from US there is a high chance any other western country fucking despises you(especially if you start defending what USA government does, and if you don't you get to try and argue why you aren't doing anything about it) so you either feel miserable or become a blind patriot who slurps up whatever Trump says>Rich keep getting richer and doing anything about it gets you stamped a "communist">Planet is burning>Sea is full of plastic>You are full of microplastics>Your food is low quality slop(and full of microplastics)>Your drinking water is given to data centers so corpos can use generative AI to make slop movies instead of hiring the young art student>Line goes up stop being a commie>"y u hate modern media?"MmhmT.33 yo boomer
zoomers engage with older media without posting about it on their social media for clout and pats on the back challenge: impossible
>>740026816that's only whore women looking for attention, the boys are quietly playing like always
>>740026876>the boys are making cringe sadboy tiktok edits about how a time they weren't alive for doesn't existfixed
>>740019648Xbox 360 and PS3 are considered oldschool now
>>740026816People are cattle, the majority of "humans" only interact with whatever goyslop is placed in front of them. Any attempts at posturing otherwise are false.
What's a decent handheld for emulation up to at least the DS and PSP? Playing on the phone is kinda shitty.
>>740020408Ignore this man, you cannot touch these games until after:>LoZ >Metroid >Castlevania >DucktalesYou can use a manual but no guide, can ask friends, but nobody online, if your friend is only online they arent your friend, you must call on the phone or meet in person, but if you call on the phone you must pay 25c a minute to the nearest homeless guy.Bonus round:If you can get a friend over, you must complete Gunstar Heroes under the same ruleset. +10 gamercred will be deposited to your account.
>>740026975>finishes playing old kino>"oh yeah let me do my 'sadboy tiktok edit about nostalgia'"you're painfully out of touch and you underestimate them a lot. i mean i won't deny there's probably brown mexican americans and low IQ cattle retards that engage in easy farm, but the boys are just quietly enjoying them as always, a lot of zoomers are genuinely really tired of social media and just wanna play memorable fun games.
>>740019648>Not that they can't like them too but why the hate toward modern stuff?because they suck i guess
despite the shitposting what is zoomer culture really?doomscrolling? amnesia and FNAF lets players? markiplier pewdiepie? twitch streamers? mountains of 2d pornography? mental illness? trannies?this is the first generation to have grown up so intertwined with the internet it's no wonder it's a nonsense soup of retarded ideas and bad practices, I feel like scifi authors 70 years ago predicted this exact outcome when an information superhighway becomes established
>>740019648>but why the hate toward modern stuff?Cause it's dogshit.
>>740024958>>740025228I really hope it is a lost perspective thing because that can be regained and make people go>wait, what the fuck am I doing, this is retardedbut it can not be denied that discourse on the internet has changed for the worse.Everything feels more tense and high sprung.
I'm a zoomer and the oldest game I beat is Wolfenstein 3D, seethe boomerfaggots.
>>740019648shut up kikeWe dont need more meaningless genwar shit to work up your boomers lines and pensionsplay the fuck whatever
>>740026489Well. Your generation did hate Nintendo and preferred snoy. Now look at you. Broccoli-headed, gay, and non-White. Do I gotta post the Secret Nazi Zelda image?
>>740020318Nobody is making new vhs tapes but it absolutely has gotten huge again in the hipster/thrift space.
>>740026791>has tdsSad. Many such cases.

Why are zoomers like this?

>>740019712>your example of zoomer culture is a movie based on a concept a millennial on 4chan came up withExactly, no culture
>>740028773I don't know but if it magically convinces Sony to make a fuckton of new PS2s and reprint most if not all the games while fucking over all the scalpers I'd be happy
>>740028881How exactly do you know he was a millennial. It's not that old of a post, zoomers were already damn near outnumbering millennials on this site in 2019.
>>740028672And look at how you all turned out. Grim.
>>740026369milennials didn't produce those. gen x / boomers in executive did. Get it through your head. Milennials are in the work force but don't have creative control.

>>740029150Do your research retard, maybe ask grok to think for you or some shit that zoomers do
>>740029109>Yeah that 4chan post was me.>Source: Me right now saying it was meOk
>>740028619>MUH GENERATIONS ABOUT VIDEO GAMES AND MOVIES HURR HURRThere are people who try and change the worldBut older generations instantly start making fun of them and try to defend the status quo. See how someone like Greta got dropped by mainstream media when she started pointing at the rich elite to do their part.People simply rely to comfort of escapism. Older generations did same with sports and movies and books and whatever. People who protested against Vietnam war were branded as hippies and unpatriotic. Same with Middle-East meddling. And now if you criticize what the rich elite does, you get people like this >>740028079So.What are you personally doing, and if not in this situation, did you actually do something during the funny collapse when banks played with housing market which we still haven't recovered from? How about Corona and the rich elite fucking up the economy and making fuckton of money while people died?Whenever people attack the rich, they are branded as enemies, thrown insults at, and whatever the media empire that is can do. Or bought out as last attempt before thrown to wolves.If you are actually doing your part rather than screeching children to change the world, then fair enough. But if you demand others to do work you failed to do, then you are no better than boomers who live off of the post-ww2 economic bliss.

>>740021338>>740021701I made a series of fake screenshots of a made up pre-production prototype of an existing game with a relative big following and posted it here on /v/ about 12-13 years ago(through out september 2013 up to around january 2014, i posted 5-6 images), and to this day there are still occasional posts about it and video made about this lost prototype no one can find, and apparently anyone who knows about it still think it's real, also thanks to the fact the developers and publisher of the real game have disbanded and have never publicly commented about any of this
>>740019648It's like renaissance europe rediscovering greek and roman culture
>>740029831Topic was why gen z wants so desperately go back to simpler times, the current president's actions being part of the reason that makes it hard to enjoy almost anything "current" media.You yourself got angry over that specific person(who I mentioned just twice, once in passing over trying to get along with people over internet who live elsewhere and I have two murican friends with experience with that in vidya) over every other point in my post. I complained more about microplastics and pollution, but I don't see you yell "VIDEO GAMES!?!?!?" over those parts..Why did specifically mentioning Trump make you have a kneejerk reaction?If you are unable to give any kind of serious answer and decide to hide behind ironic shitposting then try and take a good look in the mirror.TL;DRWash your bathroom mirror and take a good look.>>740030041>Every single one of them grew out of that notion as they got older.Well that if anything is a prime rich elite lapdog attitude. Good job anon! Never try and change anything, its too late etc. just let the rich rape children and poison your drinking water never fight you are such a mature guy.Nihilism is a mask easy to put on when someone asks you to improve anything.
>>740030708Boomers made everything worse at your age.Gen X made everything worse at your age.Millennials didn't really do shit, actually.Zoomers are out defending illegal spic child molesters and drug traffickers from deportation.Honestly what do you think you're accomplishing, kid?

>>740019648>Why can't zoomers enjoy their own generation's gamesBecause they fucking suck, anon. Zoomers playing old games are just showing they have better taste.
Why does no one ever acknowledge that a lot of early Gen Z is probably familiar with retro gaming from either growing up poor or getting hand-me-downs from older siblings? My fondest childhood memories are playing Sonic on a Model 1 Genesis.
>>740031183Nobody gives a fuck about broke ass trailer trash pseudo-millennials like yourself.
>>740019648>What "frustration"?Sexual frustrationMost zoomers are sexually frustrated

>>740031482I'm an old /v/irgin. I don't play video games.
>>740030987Inactivity during crisis is no better than being part of it.Same as not voting is fundamentally the same as voting for the winning party.If you see someone getting beaten up and decide to do nothing, you aren't much better. Not as bad as the one beating up that person but basically normalizing it.Seeing that and realizing that the lack of action you took was a mistake and growing from it would be one thing, but encouraging others on that inaction to make yourself feel better is actually very, VERY bad.It's not only that you are saying that doing nothing is the "mature thing" to do, but even trying to paint that no group has done anything about anything. Its like you are afraid that the kids these days almost might get something done that you are afraid of. Even worse, you refuse to do anything yourself because...?I see old people taking part in protests, but you somehow see that as unnecessary thing?Just something for you to think over. Not judging too much even when the tone is bit harsher, but rather that fear, stress, and learned inactivity can poison one's mind and start defending that attitude. Everyone can grow, you are right about that but don't think you have reached the some kind of "I know it all kid, you'll see" when you aren't even 50.I'm gonna sleep tho. Need to do the boring IRL stuff.Don't sink in nihilism. It can be fun, but at least try and be bit positive and encourage people to try and change the world even if you feel incapable of doing it. I'm not very smart myself(duh) but I rather not hammer myself on some kind of ideology and avoid whole idpol stuff as much as possible(even when its sometimes bit too easy to blame boomers)(Btw millennials like ourselves normalized the ABSOLUTE consooming culture and nonstop nostalgia pandering with childhood IPs. There is that fucking new He-Man live action coming out Jesus fucking Christ end me I know people who are excited about that)

>>740019712and yet the op pic proves you wrong
>>740019648This is bullshit. If newer games causes someone "frustrations" they will fucking kill themselves playing older games.I played a lot of videogames back then, i still play a lot of videogames today, and i can say with confidence that after you play modern stuff and get used to it's quality of life and stuff, you have a hard time going back to play the classics.
>>740021528I use to think like this until I took a day with a friend to play "garbage" and we found quite a few atari 2600 games that were surprisingly fun. Newer and more complex doesn't always mean more fun.
>>740021882You know you're talking to a zoomer or retard when they project the nes's blowing solution onto literally every other cartridge based system. The only time i've ever had to blow into any game cart for a system other than an NES is if the console and games are literally filled with dust and cobwebs from sitting in a basement for years and the seller never cleaned them before putting them out to test.
>>740022130Nintendo sold literally none of those. Those are all 3rd party.
>>740022332Those handhelds are in entirely different classes. The nomad had what, 1-2 hours of battery life on 6 AAs? I only ever used my nomad when I was in the van close to an inverter plug. While the GBA could be used basically everywhere on 2AAs
>>740026386Why are you taking pride in the failure of older generations?You think that just happened in a vacuum?
