and >>448734149. Roguelikes are the real programmer/artistic autistic genre of games. If I'm gonna play something new, I wanna appreciate the vision of some savant who thinks adding a pocket system is a good idea. Most of the time it's open source, so I like to read through it and get lost on how god damn messy it is.
And emulation because, LMAFO, contemporary culture is dead to me. You will never get a game like Lords of Thunder, that combines high fantasy power with power metal and have brilliant visuals.
You will never beat a modern game, just complete it. Games aren't about understanding the systems, reflexes and memorizing levels, it's just filler. Two hours of great gameplay that is balls to the wall is traded for hours upon hours of shitty filler that for all intents and purposes, gives two hours of enjoyment. I memorized Streets of Rage and Comix Zone's levels, but RDR2? I just remember cutscenes, not even game freaking play!
You will never get lost in a modern video game world. And not in the nu-lost way, of "I know where to go, but I'm just gonna get lost in the 'woods'", I'm talking lost as like in M&M 4 or Harvester or Dragon Quest, where you don't know where to go for the main quest, so you have to bumble around and stumble across areas, take notes on any clues in that area, and solve the game. In fact games are most worried about this idea of the player not knowing where to go and what to do. I can't think of a game that doesn't have easily accessible navigation and directions.
I don't give a shit about games by either dozens of people who don't give a shit about gaming, got into it cause "it's a hecking cool hobby by the way I love Omori, it's like Earthbound {they haven't played Earthbound} {and I'm referring to IRL PEOPLE IN MY SCHOOLS' GAME DEV CLUB FOR FUCK SAKE})", or indiefaggots who out of 1% who are geniuelly good and I would pay money for, rest are shallow faggots whose only "pitch" when selling a game is just copy fads or another games.
Sorry for spazzing I just hate being playing video games because I fucking hate modern gaming culture.
