what are your most controversial retro gaming takes?
N64 and GC were shit consoles and Reggie saved the studio by bringing american sensibities to the idiot baby boomer company.
>>12836962I think platformers like Mario and Sonic are pretty boring as games go. Aldo, Catcher in the Rye sucks. Holden Caufield is a probably autistic insufferable little piece of shit who does nothing of value and just bitches all day long about how phoney everyone is. He would have been a 4chan incel had he been real.
>>12836969the wii was a underpowered peice of shitmade n64 and gcn look like the gold standard
Tomb Raider and cinematic platformers as a whole are not fun.
>>12836992Its marketing was genius tho, and it literally saved the company - which is a point i try to make.
Why the fucking fuck can I reply to any thread I want but I can't post my fucking ownI keep getting "upload failed"
>>12837018Ask on IRC.
>>12837018webp?
>>12836992despite this being true the wiimote/nunchuck combo for fps games absolutely shat on the competition in its day.
Zelda OOT and everything after are gay games for faggots
>>12836962Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask are the best games ever made. I know, it's a hard pill to swallow, but it's true.
>>12836979Phony detected
>>12837051Lol did you post this after you read my hater comment or was it just a coincidence?
>>12837053Coincidence lmao
7th gen is now retro
>>12837018we don't want your posts
>>12837051>critically acclaimed 97% rated games>"they're actually masterpieces!"this is a hot take thread, normie
>>12837073It's a hot take on /vr/.
>>12837080>"I'm gonna be a contrarian to those contrarians and end up with the most lukewarm take ever, that'll show 'em!"
>>12837084I think it is YOU who is mid
>>12837084You're acting like a phony.
i play emulators on a 4k tv upscaled and think CRTs are obsolete crap with the sole exception of having better input lag than LED tvs do todaythose stupid CRT filters do not remotely look like a CRT did unless you had your face two inches from the screen and only zoomers who didn't grow up with the tech think it's cooldepending on the game i use HQ2x or just upscale the pixels
>>12837107I mean that's all reasonable, but they aren't "absolute crap". Sour grapes mf over here.
>>12837102
>>12836979Confederacy of Dunces = 4chanCatcher in the Rye = Reddit
Good is bad.Bad is good.
>>12836962The n64 and GameCube weren’t shit and Reggie fucked up the great land of nippon with his American pig beliefs.
>>12836962Retro-inspired modern games are better than actual retro games. Most games that are pre-6th gen are unplayable dogshit and saying otherwise means your nostalgia goggles are firmly glued to your head.
>>12836969>by bringing american sensibitiesAs far as I know Nintendo stayed Japanese. What american sensibilities? Did the Wii get nigger simulators?
>>12836992wii isnt retro.
>>12836962Banjo Kazooie is gay bullshitSo is Conker for that matter. Besides laughing at the edge lord jokes the game itself is dog shit
>>12837126>your nostalgia goggles are firmly glued to your headExplain how this is possible if you play a retro game for the very first time in current year and like it.
>>12837136Stop liking stuff from before I was born
>>12837136you don't play games. you post on /vr/ and pretend
>>12837148nice projection
>>12837148That's projection if I ever saw one
Some games are only playable on adderal.
>>12837151>>12837152
>>12837160not retro
>>12837018You need a 4chan pass now to post threads. Didn't you know that?
The ai upscale of gta that renamed a store guitar retard is just as funny as anything intentionally written for the gta series.
>>12837161thank god
>>12837018Have you tried upload succeeding?
>>12837159Which ones? I would like to run some experiments... Are there a specific genres that tend to need adderall more often in your opinion, or is this on a more individual basis?
>>12837159Sometimes I genuinely wonder if modern media seems so bad to me because everyone who makes it is doped up on methamphetamines and SSRIs but I'm not, so it's just created for a headspace I can't relate to.
>>12837175Dynasty warriors
>>12837116obsolete and absolute aren't the same wordthere are some quality CRTs out there but they weigh like over 9000 pounds
>>12837186I misread the post. You're still a faggot though.
There has never been a good 3d sonic game they’re all terrible and the series doesn’t work in 3d space
>>12837191stay mad zoomer. the mark of a QUALITY crt in the 80s and 90s is that you couldn't see the rgb pixels unless you are too close to the screen. only super low quality CRTs from junk companies had that mesh effect. the kids pining for CRT filters are like vaporwave where they're pining for something that didn't ever actually exist
>>12836962Hardware specs between consoles don't really matter. Are the games fun? If the games are fun I don't care about much else, the rest is a bonus. The emotion engine for the PS2 really is insane though, I gotta say. I mean hardware discussion in and of itself is fun, it's the console warring direction a lot of people go into that is the problem. Simply making observations and comparisons is one thing. But I don't see the point of doing so with the sole intention of disparaging other consoles. Up until the 7th gen, each console kinda had its own recognizable style based on its hardware, and that uniqueness between them is more interesting when appreciating a machine for its capabilities rather than used as console war shitflinging. Also console wars were always lame, there's fun to be had in every library. It's a weird expression of childish tribalism, made even more childish by the fact that it's usually just based on what your dad brought home from toys r us when you were like five. Totally unnecessary as well when you can just get more consoles and enjoy more libraries. That being said I have to contradict myself a little and admit, the console wars between the (not retro, whatever) Wii/PS3/X360 were really, really funny.
>>12837128San Andreas ported to the Wii would be kinda awesome. Wagglin controls for every time you went to the gym, flying with gyro controls, aiming your gun with the Wiimote.
>>12837228Aw fuck I almost forgot the wiimote speakers. Radio stations and phone calls playing from your controller...
>>128369623d zelda was always gay
>>12837278But he has the most amount of bitches.
>>12837403He's GAY, the bitches are irrelevant
99.999% of stuff before 4th gen is completely worthless and not worth playing. all you need to know are the big systems and that's about it.99.999% of PC games before DOOM are completely worthless and not worth playing.
90's gfx look like shit.Yes, that means Doom too. Doom is shit.Pokemon is a boring boomer game.
>>12836979He was 16 and lost a sibling, why do people judge him as if he was an adult?
>>12837471This. The whole point is that he’s a child and the system and his parents failed him at every opportunity
>>12837440I don't get it, Zelda isn't in this picture.
>>12836962I dont know, but that book is mediocre shit
>>12837018you made one too many sega system threads. we're each allowed 4 per month
>>12836962Resident Evil 4 is the scariest/creepiest game in the seriesthis is actually a common opinion but in the internet circles populated by the loud minority the self proclaimed ''RE fanbase'' it's very controversial and goes against their ''RE4 is not survival horror game!'' narrative
>>12837018When you get images from google they're often .webp files these days, which can't be flipped on 4chan. There are also some .jpgs that 4chan won't upload. I'm not sure how that works but it's getting more common.>Copy image >open paint >CTRL-V to paste>CTRL-Shift-X to crop any extra whitespace>CTRL+S to save. Now you can upload that pic. You get to a point where you can mash it out in seconds, it's second-nature to me at this point.On a phone you have to edit / adjust the image and resave then it'll upload.You're welcome.
I hate anything pre-ps2
>>12837084The absolute state of this board, huh?
>>12837148>>12837160I play retro games and I post on /vr/.
>>12838182is that diarrhea soup
>>12838182post address, I'll buy you some plates
Dragon Quest 2 is a masterpiece and unfairly treated. Most people's points against this game are either wrong, or things which DQ3 doubled down on and that nobody complains about in DQ3. Final Fantasy II is also a great game and way ahead of its time, what it did in gameplay, coming up with an interely new game system the player is supposed to learn and master little by little, and what it did in terms of story, being more down to earth and the fantasy elements being merely a backdrop, are things that would become standards for PSX JRPGs.The NES/FC have the best library of any system, at least 40% of it, so between 400 and 500 games, are worth playing assuming you like every genre.SNES Sparkster is the best in the seriesDracula XX is one of the best in the seriesAnyone who assumes "rental difficulty" every time an old game is challenging and every time a game has balance differences between region is a complete retard who doesn't know shit about the context these games were made in, the kind of players they were for, and old game design in general.The 6th gen is, for the most part, soulless and devoid of creativity. Budgets exploded, a lot of dev studios got bought by conglomerates, shattered in pieces in the process, the only place smaller devs could shine was on GBA, magazines started being written by kids from journalism schools. There is barely anything worth playing on XBOX, maybe 5 games at best, with 3 of them being ports. Later generations are better if only because online services like Steam / Virtual Console etc allowed creativity and devs not run by commitee boards to be back.
>>12838562It's goulash. Beef and bell pepper.>>12838590I have plates, I was just tired after cooking soup all day and said fuck it.
Final Fantasy 6 being the best FF game of all time feels like mass psychosis and nostalgiaIt's not even the best FF on the SNES
The gameplay of Adventure games is not fun.>Can't solve this one puzzle? Sorry, you don't get to play the rest of the game!>Why are you trying to solve this puzzle? It's impossible until you get (item from completely different part of the game you haven't been to yet)>What do you mean you didn't brute force combine every item with every other item? Are you stupid?>Softlocked? Sorry, you should have made a separate save after you took every single action!Walking around and exploring the worlds and talking to the characters is fun and great, but the actual puzzle-solving gameplay of them is just frustrating, and whenever you aren't making progress it feels like you're wasting your time.The best Adventure games are the ones that are really easy like Pajama Sam so you don't spend the whole game stuck on one part and not even aware of why you're stuck.
I continue to not like this game. There's just something about it. The way it sounds, specifically. I hate the music. I hate the sound effects. I hate the way Mario looks. I hate Yoshi. Fuck Yoshi
>>12837778Nothing beats the ogonly on Gamecube
>>12837228>>12837237Rockstar Japan would've ruled the world
>>12838673Based take and I agree with you completely.
>>1283696290s games aren't retro, just old
>>12837128It had like 5 cawadoodies
>>12838182>>12837160Cozy setups, we should make a "/bst/ - Battlestation" thread on /vr/ sometime so people can post their setups and how they play their retro video games.
>>12839158>I hate Yoshi. Fuck YoshiWell, which is it? Do you hate him or want to fuck him? Maybe you want to hatefuck him?
>>12837126>Most games that are pre-6th gen are unplayable dogshit and saying otherwise means your nostalgia goggles are firmly glued to your head.Most retro-styled indie games are also dogshit, and those pre-6th gen "unplayable dogshit games" are a tier higher than those dogshit retro-styled indie games, meaning that pound-for-pound, there are still more actual retro games which are good, meaning your statement is both fake and gay.>>12837128>As far as I know Nintendo stayed JapaneseIs that why they started appealing hardcore to the American demographic with all of their games, turning Metroid Prime into an FPS, focusing more on action games and sports games over JRPG's and schmups, and relying more on American developers for their first-party titles?
>>12838876>The best Adventure games are the ones that are really easy like Pajama Sam so you don't spend the whole game stuck on one part and not even aware of why you're stuck.>anon literally admits, openly, he's a retarded manchildYou probably shouldn't be playing Adventure games at all. You should be playing in a ballpit.
>>12837213NTA, but can you shut the fuck up, you disingenous nigger?Fact is that majority of CRT displays in 80s and 90s were not QUALITY as your faggy, purely performative ass claims. Nobody knew what the fuck was a PMV and Trinitrons were expensive and rare. Most people did not even knew how to properly calibrate their CRTs.You're either a fucking zoomer or an Indian trying to stir the shit where they don't belong.
>>12837213Jesus Christ, what nonsense.
>>12842238What is your favorite adventure game, and why is it better than Pajama Sam?
>>12836962Due to early 3d over time looking like ass/nostalgia wearing off the Saturn has surpassed the 64 and is now the 2nd best 5th gen console.
