/vr/ - Retro Games

23, i'll admit i only ever got into retro gaming as a kid because of poorfaggotry. My first consoles were Famiclones and a bootleg mega drive as far as the early 2010's, and in my teens all i ever had was old games and emulators up to N64 on a toaster PC. I was so autistically out of touch about modern gaming that sometimes i brought up semi-obscure shit like vib-ribbon or Freespace at school as if sane 14 year olds gave a shit about that, and it went about as well as you'd expect

That's not to say i don't like old games on their own though. I'm still replaying a shitton of old games such as Mechwarrior 3 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (not retro though)

The Infinite Height Question

>>6144207
>why do so many people like it
gives doom a breath of fresh air, was many people's first introduction to gameplay mods and gore is satisfying
>why does /vr/ hate it
a combination of "popular and new thing bad" contrarianism, spaghetti code with unused stuff that bogs down the game and the creator doing autistic shit like considering using digitized real-life gore for it.
