Why are retro pc games so much weirder than retro console games?
also far less restrained
Gee, I wonder where you could have suddenly heard of this random 30 year old game from.
Because anyone can just make a game and release it on PC.With a console you need to get approval from Nintendo, Sony, etc. before you can release anything and you also don't expensive devkits or anything.There's a much lower barrier of entry. Which allows for smaller budget projects with less mainstream appeal.
>>12199957Based diligent anon keeping tabs on all the youtubers so he can efficiently complain about them
>>12199957Tumblr?
>>12199914Made by and for weirdo nerds. Honestly kind of a dumb question since the answer is implicit in asking it if you know literally anything all about games made before 2020, and if you don't then you shouldn't be on this board.>>12199957?not sure what you're getting pissy about. Tell me anon, what youtuber hurt your feelings today because other people in the world are aware of the things you are aware?
>>12200265>>12200336In this case it's actually double telling because it wasn't even a youtuber who brought attention to this game, but a streamer, so he's just telling on himself that he watches him, as I am by telling you this. Guess he feels the need to gatekeep?
>>12200336I'm not that anti-YT anon but I'll tell you on his behalf:They're like that prick to whom you tell something funny and very next day at party he's telling it to everyone and pretending he came up with it even when you stand right there. LGR and NostalgiaNerd are good example of this. They don't do anything of value, they just rummage through other people's work and present it as their own and make money on it. Fuck youtubers, they're cancer.
>>12200356They have never once presented someone else's game/program as being their own. Quit being a disingenuous faggot.
Because PC evolved faster than console games during that era. Once consoles got more powerful, there was a huge influx of weird shit. The Playstation's library is pretty notorious for that.
>>12199914Anyone could make them without some license, specialty sdk, paying manufacturing costs to the companies who make the consoles, etc. And without those added costs you could sell less and still make money so games didn't have to appeal to everyone to make sure you sold as many copies as possible.
>>12200361Hahaha, how fucking retarded are you? Yeah, LGR presented Windows 95 as his invention, that's what I said, you fucking cum stain
>>12200367...LGR didn't create windows 95?
>>12199914>Why are retro pc games so much weirder than retro console games?mainly because cololes that took cartridges were for retarded kids who could not use keyboards
>>12200356>>12200336>Fuck youtubers, they're cancer.based
Can we start hurting or banning half life 2 faggots?Praising an engine demo alone is enough reason for a public beatingCompared to this garbage, Painkiller is more impressive than this trash demo for several reasons.Crysis, tech-wise, made every FPS feels like a pathetic attempt in realism and gameplay mechanics.Valve and "gAbeN'' fanboys are the worst thing that ever happened to the gaming industry. Cultists deserve to be hurt
>>12199957>hurr durr youtubers bad>hurr durr gatekeeping good
>>12199957People like you really need to touch grass
>>12200490t. ebay scalper who wants the retro market to be even more overinflated
>>12200356LGR especially since he singlehandedly ruined the retro PC space
>>12199932What game?
>>12200534
>>12199914Real answer: console manufacturers had much tighter restrictions on what content could be included in their games, games on PC simply had more creative freedom. Those developers who wanted to make games that maybe didn't fit the restrictions of being a console game probably also had a stronger inclination towards more experimental game concepts as well. This was true both for Japan as well as western markets like USA and Europe.
>>12200336>>12200490?Not what I was getting at, I meant that I knew OP was only posting about this game because he saw the same streamer I did recently play it and not because he just happened to run into it on his own. This wasn't some anti-youtuber rant.
>>12200367>they just rummage through other people's work and present it as their own>present it as their ownYea, you literally did, you fucking inbred mutt. Learn how to write in English, or get the fuck out.
>>12200336NTA but youtube threads aren't an issue when they're not low effort spam. No personal input, image being random screenshot from google without even saying the name of the game, just a vague open ended question hoping people will make their own conversation. Its fucking grade school shit.On topic, Cyberia was a combination of a flight sim and a point and click while being crazy as fuck. Surprisingly not the weirdest, but its pretty fuckin wild. Apparently it did get a 360 release tho, so I guess it doesn't count.
>>12199914PC games were much more nicheLet's be honest if you were playing PC games in the 90s you were a genuine nerd while most normie kids and young adults were playing consoles like Nitendo or Playstation or Sega
>>12201163>3603DO. My stupid dyslexic ass...Anyway, might as well bring up Die By the Sword was another awesome one, which actually did get a console sequel Draconus years later, but DbtS used the number pad for directional swinging which was cool as shit at the time, and predated shitty waggle controls by almost a decade. It also gave body parts health for some stupid ass dismemberment in combat.
>>12199914to release a game for pc you basically needed blank disks to write and mail out. to release a game for a console... convince a corporation it will profit enough. its a one million cartridge run, or zero
>>12201236Also no ratings board requirement
>>12199932I really don't care how "gentle" someone's gonna be with my corpse after I'm dead...
>>12201180I had PCs and Amigas and 8 bits I also had a PS1
>>12199914They were for the cognoscenti. The intellectual elite, if you will. Dare one say - in fact - the master race.
>>12200502Don't scalpers make gatekeeping worse?
>>12201236>>12201248this - the lower bar to entry
>>12199914You just think it's weird because you're used to Jewish media, and early PC gaming was largely absent their involvement.
>>12202658Yeah Jews controlled Japanese console games...retard
They had puzzles and were for an older audience.
>>12200356>>12200505What did LGR do?
>>12200490This, but unironically.
>>12203342Nearly 100% of Japanese media uses Jewish media as a template. They are good craftsmen, but incredibly unoriginal. Even anime is based on Betty Boop, a Jewish cartoon.
>>12203448Talk about retro stuff on Youtube, apparently that's all it takes as far as people here are concerned.
>>12201180you were rich and white. the way it should be. once we started letting poors and browns on the internet, everything became awful
>>12203452Good point.
>>12203452
Fewer content restrictions, adult user base, burgeoning "interactive art installation" movement, some attempts to turn FMV games into "the next home video frontier" by casting high-profile actors in adventure games, the huge success of Myst meant adventure game devs could throw money at big ideas, etc.
>>12199932>also far less restrainedToday, i will remind themhttps://tcrf.net/Hisou_Kihei_X_Serd
>>12205546tecknickalleepc engine is a pc
>>12205546This reads like a comedic snuff film but I'm trying to imagine this song as catchy 80s jap music
>>12203452>Even anime is based on Betty Boop, a Jewish cartoon.and Snow White isn't?
>>12205557don't you guys got the ai slop for this now?
>>12203550Yes talking about retro stuff on youtube is what he did, if you can't see why that's damaging to the hobby then you're either retarded or willfully ignorant.
>>12203448He does what every other youtuber does: he gives you shallow poor information that still gives you that dopamine hit of learning something new, fooling you into thinking you have a real understanding even though you know jack shit in reality.So then you get zoomers or consolefags high on dopamine, fresh from watching a youtube video, annoying you with their half-knowledge and dunning-kruger arrogance.
>>12199957this sure triggered all the zoomer anons kek
>i hate youtubers so i'll keep naming them and giving them free attention
>>12206974I like his Christmas videos, I watch all of them every year :)
>>12200490>gatekeeping goodAbsolutely. After I find an obscure game from a Youtube video with 2000 views I never share my finding with anyone unworthy
>>12199914Game name?
>>12210039Ms. Metaverse
>>12206138I don't care about the retro pc hobby landscape. I hope LGR destroys it more.
>>12208000Gatekeeping is ok. It's necessary to keep things relatively in check, otherwise things just get really fucking chaotic and whatever was being gatekeeped will get flooded with things unrelated to to it.
>>12206985I didn't notice and even if I did I doubt I'd care enough to seek out their videos
