What are some of your favourite places in retro games?
I really like the area outside the Tower of Riddles in Paper Mario TTYD. It has a serene atmosphere right in the middle of a demonic dungeon.
Exploring this place for the first time is a feeling I wish I could somehow recreate.>you can never go back
This was my childhood.
>>11342487>licensed slopyou had a shit childhood
>>11342514You didn't play any licensed games as a kid?
>>11342514The first three Harry Potter games were pretty good, and had great music by Jeremy Soule.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJlWBGq-odYSadly this track wasn't in the PC version.
>>11342448This comfy lab. Somewhat chaotic and not intuitive at first, but preparing ingredients and making potions is pretty fun.
>>11342487The old Harry Potter games are very comfy, I played the fuck out of Chamber of Secrets on the ps2
>>11342514>zoomer tries to infer retro taste before he has had time to develop it.You'll get there, sport
>>11342487Damn is that pc? Looks amazing. I had the ps1 version and I'm actually planning to play it on my vita when I'm done with twisted metal head on
>>11342697>le zoooooomyou were playing this trash while I was poopsocking StarCraft and Halo and pumping fat stinky goth girls' ass cheeks every week. you are like little baby
>>11342718wtf you didn't even list some cool tryhard shit. Starcraft and halo are just as walmart as harry potter and kingdom hearts
>>11342730I was playing Eastern Mind in mental asylum and pumping my drugged roommate's skinny ass cheeks every day
>>11342730>S-StarCraft is basically just a licensed game too b-bro, it's just as gay as Harry Pottercope of the year
>>11342448I love this part in Castle of Illusion, the BGM is so relaxing and moody, the atmosphere's superb, normally I'd hate it because of the spiders... however they're so cartoony, I don't mind 'em. One of the best Genesis platformers in my eyes.
>>11342704I just got it from Google, but yeah it's the PC version. Actually the PC version of the first three games were made by different developers compared to the console versions, so it's worth playing them all. I grew up with the PC versions, so that's what I'm especially nostalgic about.
>>11342448The entirety of exploring old point n click adventure games(first person), like Lost Eden, The Day the World Broke, Starship Titanic and Journeyman Project.
>>11342758I mean yeah? Starcraft is kinda gay and harry potter is kinda good. They're both decent games
>>11343276>redneck space marines drinking beer and killing aliens is kinda gay>little effeminate British school children casting spells is mega hetero though brah>they're both decentlmaosorry you got stuck playing barnes and noble core trash of getting some actual good games.
>he's serious
I wanna go back, bros...
>>11343534I enjoyed this game but I never made it past the second boss, that worm thing in the toxic sludge, despite trying probably two dozen times over the years. I would always lose interest after that for some reason.
>>11343534Dare I say, kino?
Spent a lot of time in the demo sliding down the slopes, hanging from the pom things in the trees, jumping from the highest point into the pile of leaves below, pretending to hide in the leaves. I miss creating my own fun in games like that.
>>11342448Melee Final Destination and Starfox level (the big ship one)cs_assault and de_dustTFC 2fort and Hunted
>>11342742M-M-M-MONSTER KILL-L-L-L
>>11343534I play it every few weeks on my WiiU
>>11342532No.
>>11342742Damn it's crazy just how few polygons that thing had.
>>11342483Very true. The music still takes me back to that time in my mind, though.
>>11342704PS1 is the best Chamber of Secrets game imo. Pure kino.
>>11343534>return to Oozla>half of the cool creatures in it despawned permanently
>>11342448Vanilla wow Stormwind. Home.
Every screen inside Edea’s house (FF8) is pure sovl
>>11346004
i never really understood why so many people praise metropolis so much
>>11342740Yes that fucking park in the background just blew my mind as kid, I couldn't understand why it felt like a world continues on back there
i played a lot of point and click games on pc as a kid. my favorite was probably this one.
>>11342448
>>11342740I've always believed I would wake up here after dying.
>>11347549damn this is a great answer. that chill song that loops really seals the deal. I wish the main game was less of a slog or id replay this all the time just for the garden.but for me nothing in vidya will top the sheer soul/comfy/nostalgia of picrel
>>11342718>Halo

>>11342718Did you do sweet flips in your monster truck too? Btw I knew girls in like 5th grade who played starcraft, the campaign/custom games were just as normie as Mario for a while
Ah, Farthing, home.
>>11342448Crystal Egg Zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Game Gear/Master System) is an oddly comfortable and downright beautiful final level to a difficult title, especially for Sonic standards, it's rough and this, the final level, manages to be one of the easiest, I'd say the only part that's a bit of a pain is right at the end, the final boss, because it's a one hit kill as you have no rings, BS I'd say, but it's fine.
>>11343536You never saved Red Ring Rico.... she's still out there anon.... she still needs your help.... Pioneer 2...
>>11344275more games need crunchy leaf pile physics
>>11345698Any cave in a pokemon game is a fucking pain in the arse>move one space>[BATTLE MUSIC]>get mouth raped by zubat again
>>11349993Just use repel
>>11343534Evil bitchy nasty cruel mexican democrat women destroyed video games They sure love to ruin everything for everyone
Metro city 100%Looks like a sick place to live - walkable, rideable, gorgeous views, at the base of the most epic mountain.
Descent :: Level 12 : Callisto Tower Colony
North Gustaberg from Final Fantasy 11, sure it's a pretty much a wasteland but the music is really nice to listen to on repeat.
>>11350351Damn... I still log in from time to time
>>11342748what game is this please?
Not breaking any new ground here, but as soon as you make it to Besaid, you know your adventure is about to start for real.
always found MDK's environs very relaxing despite how surreal they were
>>11342514a licensed game doesnt automatically mean its bad despite what your favorite youtubers tell you zoomie
>>11342448this is one of many of my favorite place in retro games
>>11351337you are joking right?
muh vibes
Peak comfy
>>11353669The demake massacred the vibes here. When I saw that the rainbow stairs were replaced with lifeless regular stairs I turned it off and returned it the next day. Unthinkable.
>>11342514>>11342532What does that even mean?
>>11353998The feeling of being disconnected from everywhere else was surreal. Pre-liminal. Perfectly executed.
>>11342483I never played the Spyro games but I've always liked how they looked especially the skies, it reminds me of an NES level I really like, the second level from Time Lord (an otherwise mediocre game). Again with that level it's mostly the area up top where the sky is visible but also the music. There's this style I can't quite pinpoint, a sort of medieval fantasy aesthetic but in a very childlike fairy tale kinda way, and I really am thinking it's the skies that do it, they often have these majestic hues, like purples, deep blues, auroras, all these often contrasted with the stone grey battlement spaces of a castle, in the case of Time Lord another castle peaking out of the clouds in the background. It's all so mysterious and comfy at the same time. The closest music I've found to capture the feeling is actually called comfy synth, a subgenre of dungeon synth. But I'm struggling to find other old games or media in general that capture the visual style. Is there a subgenre of fantasy this would fall under?
Traverse Town
>>11346361It sounds like the same feeling I had in the beginning of Mario 64 when Mario comes out of the pipe, and in Mario Kart 64 when you could drive up to Peach's castle. Melee also had some great shit like towns in the background if rainbow road and the zelda level.
>>11342718You've never seen a real goth, lil zoomie.
>>11351645Being cunty to someone for asking an honest question is something only really insecure people do.
>>11355669You're not allowed on this website unless you're insecure.
I would love to have a drink in this bar
>>11355610Brazil....home.
>>11355610honestly, do guys need anything more than this?
>>11355765Nope thats almost literally my house
>>11355752Ha! Nope. I wish the favela was this nice.
The shipwreck northwest of Seyda Neen, near the mouth of the river.When I play a thief/bandit type character, that's where I stash my fat loot.
>>11357296I like the boats and shipwrecks because so many of them have moon sugar, and I like to make my sugar stash as big as possible. It's actually a pretty decent "potion", and more fun thematically than other potions.
