I don't play much vidya these days because I only have a shite laptop and a Wii. I do more tabletop gaming than anything these days. Every once in a while I'll boot up a roguelike such as Brogue (pictured) or putz around with flash games on Kongregate, but that's about it.

I like board games much more than video games lately. But I suppose that's /tg/ and not /v/. As for video games, my favorites are probably Katamari Damacy,
Mushihimesama Futari, Espgaluda 2, various other CAVE shit, Age of Mythology, Empire Earth, Nier, FFIX and Okami.

[Anonymous No.3474294]

FF3, Link to the Past, Breath of Fire 3, Lufia: Rise of the Sinistrals, Super Puzzle Fighter Turbo, and Puyo Puyo

Mother 3 is possibly the most beautiful game ever made.

The plot is so simple yet so full of subtext.

[Anonymous No.3474307]

Final boss battle had me crying like a little girl. True story. Lot of jagoffs these days, especially those on the indie/hipster tinge, like spouting off about their shiet games being art. I love the vidya, believe me. But only Mother 3 in my experience is real art; an experience that forces you to contemplate not just the game itself, but life in all its vastness.

>>3474294
Which FFIII do you prefer? Famicom or DS? Nice choice with Lufia, by the way. Ah, nostalgia...

The level of detail in the game is amazing as well. So many little things to check on and go back to. Every little event causes new dialogue for every NPC in the game, practically.

yess. i knew, you'd deliver /lit/. i really don't mean to hyperbolize, but Mother 3 takes the advantage of this 16 bit medium in a way that is integral and inseparable from the story. this is really the only game i could begin to consider literature. it sets the bar HIGH.

[Anonymous No.3474357]

>>3474349
>this is really the only game i could begin to consider literature. it sets the bar HIGH.

Agreed. The game, like any great literary work, has so many layers of meaning; One aspect of Mother 3 that I found very surprising was its trenchant critique of economic materialism and the emptiness and corruption it engenders.

I suck way too much at video games. I'm not even fucking joking, it's like all of my joints suddenly reverse themselves the instant I take a controller into my hands.
That's why I just play RPGs and collect stuff.
I like Sword of Mana, Zelda and Pokemon.

Except people in the arts become rich and famous, even when they don´t merit it (Warhol, DFW, etc etc.)

Nobody becomes famous for playing vidya, nor even making vidya.

Those fucking things that requires like the least amount Of shitty arsed around skills:
Vidya obviously isn't the new Director of our times
As the Director was of last Century;
The Opera Composer was the most polymathed
Of the Arts before the fag with a camera showed up;
And now what requires the least thinking with the most Results, should be shunned as a passing interest.

LoZ series
KOTOR series
MGS series
Chrono Trigger
Fable

All of these Games suck, due to the fact that they're
Mainstream.
Better not stream them in the least
Since you flew with them to the feast
Of your virtual rituals to praise
The God of numbers to freeze
Your screen.

I play a lot of adventure games and action adventure games.

I recently had to stop playing Ni No Kuni because it was sucking precious time out of my life and not giving me much reward in return. You know what I mean?

I know this will sound pompous (and on the humble /lit/ too!) but tbh these are mainly things I remember enjoying in the past several years. I was a big vidya gamer but rarely play anything now. The only big releases I'm looking forward to atm are Wasteland 2 and the next Starcraft instalment.

[Anonymous No.3475384]

>>3474993
OP here. Link's Awakening has never gotten the respect it deserves, I feel. Such a strange, bizarre, and gently melancholy game. Unlike anything else in the Zelda series.

Same here, man. If I do happen to play the vidya, I rarely venture beyond the PS1/3DO/Saturn era. The only games these days that grab my attention are old games that I didn't get to play in the day or Japanese games that never made it to Amurrrica. But every now and then I'll play something new. That's very rare, though.

I'm really picky with my video games.

I also am really nostalgic about NES, SNES and N64.

My two favorite 'old games' are probably Super Mario Brothers 3 and Legend of Zelda: Majora's mask.

My favorite game that I played recently was probably Far Cry 3, and I don't even like FPS.

Fire Emblem 4, 7, 8 (hopefully 13 too, but we'll see)

Chrono Trigger, Paper Mario 1+2, Mario and Luigi RPG+Superstar Saga

Super Mario Bros. 1+3, World, and 64.

...and that is all I can think of. Majoras Mask and 999 are my favorites of all time, and the one's I consider to be excellent examples of how video games can be art (they tell a story that only a video game could tell)

Those are tight games, brah. You should get yourself Steam, it's a spectacular gaming platform, and even shitty laptops can at least play a few games on it which have few graphic requirements (e.g. point-and-click games like Machinarium/Samorost, puzzlers like Braid, platformers like Limbo).

I tried TWEWY, really disliked the characters and story too much to get into it. Running around to save hipster ramen shops isn't really what I care about doing in J-RPGs. I give credit to SE for trying to do something different but to me it wasn't good enough.
