My friends used to come over all the time and play games, until cost of living got so high that my friends all had to move out-of-state.

>Doom 2016 turned 5 years old a month ago
>2016 was 5 years ago

Where did the time go?

Damn I hadn't played the game in some years and had completely forgot about the outer space shmup segment.

Dude you sound really fucking young.

Anyway here's some stuff I like. I'm a big motherfag and quite like jrpgs, or at least some.

Dragon Quest series: This was the main inspiration for the mother series. Gameplay is similar in that it is simpler first person turn based with no gameplay gimmicks. I think V is the best starting point but most seem to like VIII the best as the starting as its probably the easiest game in the series.

Breath of Fire series: Series of jrpgs by capcom. I reccomend starting with III or IV and going back to I and II after. They have pretty good combat (IV is maybe my the best jrpg battle system I've ever found) and beautiful art.

Shin Megami Tensei: I still need to play these myself but a lot of people love them. It's not retro but alot of people say SMT: Nocturne is the best starting point. Play that then try the retro ones.

Metal Max series: These are post apocalyptic sci fi jrpgs with a very comedic and silly tone. They're more open world and involve your party being bounty hunters. You take up jobs and slowly progress to new areas where new bounties become available. Also notable is that you will tanks your party traveks in that you are given customization over.

Now go play some fucking video games.

Most suitable for a gore thread but it fits cringe as well.
