Which are the most pretentious retro games?
Pretentious just means smart btw
Another World and Ico. The pseud favorites.
>>12806527Another World and cinematic platoformers are so fucking shit>look it's dragon's lair but it looks 10 times worse
When did 4chan go from "we aren't normalfags" to "we must become better normalfaggots"?
>>12806504True. Calling something pretentious is just basically admitting you've been filtered.
We had this thread multiple times already, get new material
mother 3
>>12806551Normalfags (millenials) love pretentious slop though
>>12806527Ico is a real game just with a interesting premise.
Stop making this stupid fucking thread you stupid fucking retard
I love pretentious games, recommend some rare ones so I can pretentiousmaxx
Killer7
half life
You haven't tasted TRUE pretension if you haven't played A Mind Forever Voyaging. A text based adventure game (think Zork) that's filled to the brim with such... awful and just yuck writing and the setting is just... Needless to say, I couldn't finish it myself.
>>12806527ico is able to accomplish what it sets out to though. I would assume a pretentious game would fail at lofty goals.
Pic related.
>>12806531Completely retarded take. Dragon's Lair plays absolutely nothing like cinematic platformers. That's like saying Halo is a lightgun arcade game. Jesus you're a cancerous retard.
>>12806502Countless JRPGs.
This board is too stupid to play pathologic.
>>12807016Thanks to this cover, every time I hear the word Mars, I immediately think of people screaming. I'm OK with this.
>>12806502everything by peter molyneux
>something something we're killing Mother Nature
>>12806502>fortlift racingnah it's kino
>>12806502what's funny is that, if Shenmue is ever able to finish its story, it will end with Ryo and Lan Di summoning ancient dragons and flying through the air for their final battle. lore stuff mentioned in the series so far more or less confirms it.and I don't really care about that. Shenmue is a game about Ryo walking around a town and asking random people what Ryo should do next, preferably in Dobuita but the other towns are okay. any time they stray from this formula and put actual gameplay in it the games suffer.
>>12807016Is this even good? Always saw it as a Resident Evil clone.
>>12807001Handmaid's Tale was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual, chud
>>12807873it's supposed to be an absolute pain in the ass to play. you should probably just watch the Ross's Game Dungeon ep
>>12807904>the game may be difficult>why don’t you watch someone play it insteadHey zoomie
>>12807923"frustrating" and "tedious" are not synonyms for "difficult"
>>12807928Then use those words next time faggot
>>12807809Nah, chances are the dragon stuff was all just metaphor and the series would end the way most people think it would've ended: Ryo finally defeats Lan Di but he realizes revenge is le bad so he spares him, something something Wude (like SIFU), then becomes the dojo's new master.Then again, Shenmue 2 did end with a cave with literal magic and a floating sword. Then again then again, that was effectively retconned by Shenmue 3.
>>12806714Fuck you, I liked it, and I'm mildly retarded. So just how pretentious could it be?
Most Human's games
>>12807992Killer7 is Suda51's least pretentious and best game by far.
>>12807158I second this. I still remember playing Black & White for the first time after all the hype leading uip to it's release. So fucking boring and pretentious.
No one said LSD Dream Emulator or MGS2 yet?
>>12807997Is Mizzurna Falls any good?, I remember seeing it popping up all the time in jap hidden gems discussions, but after the translation dropped I haven't heard about it again, a bit like what happened with Policenauts.
>>12806502omikronmessiah on psxblack and white on psx
>>12806502>picture of what appears to be a forklift simulator with a clock in the corner so you know when to begin and finish worknothing pretentious about Shenmue after all
What is an old 1983 computer game called In Search of the Most Amazing Thing for MS-DOS?
>>12808520MGS2 is Kojima at his most earnest, which is why the reaction to the game affected him so hard he was still coping about it by the time he made TPP fifteen years later.>>12808582It's janky and clearly unfinished during the second half of the week, which makes it so you either get the first few days perfect (by looking up a guide, defeating the purpose) or absolutely nothing happens for days because you've long missed the trigger for all story events and you don't even know it, as you're railroaded to a bad end. It then gets incredibly fucking kino during the last 5 minutes of the plot. If you don't mind using save/load states to experiment with time and places you can visit early on to try and not get yourself locked out of 70% of the plot then it's certainly an interesting game to have experienced, if only to know firsthand what's it about whenever someone brings it up given how curious people were about it before its translation.
>>12808632Thanks for the qrd, anon! I´ll put Mizzurna Falls in the backlog.
>>12806504i'm sure lifting boxes is a mentally heavy task for you
>>12807904Ross is an absolute fucking moron when it comes to game design.
>>12808582It's a game that was mythologized because it was never translated and created a mystique about it, only for fans to translate it and then realize it was dogshit and untranslated for a reason. The Twin Peaks-y theme of it helped.
>>12808520>MGS2 That game is a given. It's like going to McDonald's wondering what to get only for someone to say, "How about a Cheeseburger?"
>>12809312Ross makes video games?
>>12806557>We had this thread multiple timesWe've run out of new old games to talk about
>>12811572No excuse to resort to this thread again
>>12811152No, but his criticism and recommendations for how he would "change" certain things are pants-on-head retarded.
Gay thread made for the millionth time. This shidder needs a new fuckin hobby, even his bait is stale as fuck. Do not bump this shit
>ctrl+f>no Majora's Maskreally?
>>12812850People should learn what the word 'pretentious' means tbqhwyf
>>12807937>pain in the ass to play
>>12807001Yeah. Credit to Infocom for trying something different, but oh boy that one did not work.
>>12808632I saw an LPer go through it blind last year and he got the true ending, but it required him (after getting all the other endings first because he 100%s his LPs) having to write down in Notepad a chronological list of timestamps and everyone he encounters doing something at that hour.Also the fighting game is so hilariously rank.
>>12806502Well it's not Shenmue. I'd go more along the lines of Half-Life, Resident Evil 4 or Yoshi's Island.
>>12807902Well the libtards are certainly on their way to making it a reality by importing all these turd world mudslimes.
>>12813278Inshallah brother, works for me.
