What's with all the guys on here who are like "cartoony games are for babies, I want my games to be dark, edgy and mature because I'm an adult"?

I presume that if you're not already invested into a 'kiddy' franchise then you'll naturally gravitate towards other games, which tend to be more mature. Not saying cartoony games are bad, but some of them really only appeal to younger people.

"Mature".

You mean gory. Full of miserable people. In miserable places. Living miserable lives. As if joy is something to be looked down on.

most people don't care about aesthetics, when they say kiddy game they are referring to the gameplay being too ez

Guys who go into threads just to say "kids game" or imply they're "too mature" for X game or say it's good X series died/got replaced by edgier sequels. Another common refrain is that it's "a natural progression" for people to leave behind "kiddy games" and move onto darker mature stuff. There's at least one in most threads on the board right now. They call everything colourful "bing bing wahoo".

I don't like gay faggy kiddie things.

Why is that so hard to comprehend?

This is like asking straight men "why do you like tits more than penises"? We just do, okay?

Insecurity from man children.
Thats why you always read "hope next x game is darker". They want to be perceived as something they arent by just showing they play mature games.
I remember when we used to mock "I am a mature gamer so I play mature games for mature gamers such as myself.
Those people will probably get filtered by most old Mario games and go back to play movie press x button to win slop.

Would you rather wear a digital spongbob watch that talks to you when you push a button or a rolex

Spongebob watch. At least it might bring a smile to my face when I remember I'm wearing it, the Rolex is just for insecure normalfaggots who are slaves to the opinions of others.

In this fake glasses wearing hipsters filled word you could take the SpongeBob watch and still be respected because everyone is a epic geek nerd anyway

Actually I just thought the topic was interesting enough to merit its own thread.

Are you here JUST to get into arguments and try to "troll" people or what? Because I'm here to have interesting and fulfilling discussions about retro video games and the culture surrounding them.

>>12689640
I would chose the Rolex and sell it to buy games

I mean, Nintendo has been very open about how they target young children with their first party games. Nintendo has always been the safe console for kiddies. Always.

As a PC gamer I always felt very sorry for Nintoddlers. Imagine getting excited about Starfox YEARS after Frontier: Elite 2 came out. Literally a children's company.

>OP decided that the best way to rope people into this discussion of his was to call out the entire board as a whole on having a shit take no one has had for 30 years
Is it better to be disingenuous if it gets more replies? When I make a thread, I *think* I make it with only the topic in mind and not with how many anons will respond to it in mind. At the very most, I try to find a relevant image that is likely to be noticed in the catalog.

Am I doing it wrong? Or is OP's lack of integrity genuinely a *bad* thing? If so, then why does he value more replies over the replies of people who actually care about the topic he wishes to discuss?
