/vr/ - Retro Games

>he fell for the contrarian bullshit of /vr/
heh

>>10404910
Looks like you own it, though.

>>10404920
Yeah I spent money on it, that makes it sting even worse. I TRUSTED YOU GUYS.

>>10404910
You can always emulate titles before you buy them? Confirm they're worth it? Rather than simply taking another's word for it?

>>10404910
Oh look you're trying to show off that you're good at burning money, you're also probably good at eating food, and shitting. YAY congratulations!!!

>>10404928
srsly everything /vr/ can be emulated easily by now, there is no excuse

>>10404945
Exactly. I don't see how this happens in 2023, with the prices the way they are.

>>10404943
You can literally see my slender-ass thumb in the frame, dumbass.

>>10404950
Because some people aren't poor and they have faith in their /vr/ bros.

>>10404952
I don't think he's calling you fat. I think he's saying you're good at doing normal everyday things that everyday people do.

>>10404956
Posting about games on /vr/?

>>10404910
Lol that's not a real game boy, what kind of bootleg shit is that

>>10404974
Analogue Pocket

>>10404954
>Because some people who browse this board are comically stupid.
FTFY

Bruh I was emulating shantae in 2004 you have no excuse.

>>10404985
People talk about it a lot and say it's really good and I found a deal so I figured why not. It's not my bad everyone has bad taste.

>>10404915
/vr/ is the most worthless shithole in terms of game recommendations

>>10405002
Yeah mostly because the only games the nu-posterbase likes are Zelda cause ZOMG, Castlevania because of the gay anime and Mega Man because tism

>>10405002
Remember seeing awesome threads:
On fm7 pc88 pc88 sharpx fmtownes even laser disc

The thread had a pic of deep forest. Intro
No question. Really good thread.

It's gone

>>10405004
I've never seen anyway say anything about the Castlevania "anime" here except that it's gay.
The games get brought up because they filter people and because the series is ripe for contrarianism (such as saying rondo sucks and dracula x chronicles is the best game ever made)

>>10404954
I have faith in my /vr/ bros but require verification, especially when dropping good cash.

>>10404910
>he bought a video game

How much did you get jewed on this lol tell us
I hope you learned your lesson forever

That's WayForward. It's a team of visual artists and no one else. Their games always look nice, but play like total shit.

>>10404910
You could say the same about any Metroid game. In fact they are worse.

>>10405063
Like $50
>>10405067
Wasn't Shovel Knight made by a bunch of former WayForward devs? I liked that. Also your statement doesn't hold up because Shantae looks bad. Or at least the first level does. Does it pick up later on?
>>10405070
Metroid is amazing.

>>10404910
the sequels are way better

>>10405081
Don’t ever spend money on video games. Especially not on a video game that’s like 32 kilobytes.
Why would you do this?

>>10405000

That sounds reasonable but I'm surprised you felt that /vr/ was recommending this game, since I seem to usually see people here dismissing it as a boring series that's only popular because it has waifus in it. I'm sure some people here like it though. (I am not taking any position myself, since I haven't played any Shantae game.)

>>10405082
Does this one pick up later? I only played the first level and it was like a walking simulator

>>10405096
Far enough into the game it becomes a sorta level by level “metroidvania” idk what else to call it. Puzzle platformer with exploration elements.

It’s alright.
It’s not the greatest game ever made and it’s not a heaping pile of stank. Like most things in this world the true answer is the boring one. It’s just aight

>>10405081
>Metroid is amazing.
Not at stealth game play or platforming or shooting or exploring or much of anything.

>>10405174
>stealth game play
It's not a game about stealth. There isn't a single Instance of stealth in the entire series. You've clearly never even played the games so your opinion is worthless.
>platforming
It's fine.
>shooting
It's fine.
>exploring
It's the best exploration-based game ever.
>much of anything
Filter yourself.

>>10404925
Cheer up, you can always go play fingerbox to heal those wounds.

>>10405189
>everything is fine
>game is amazing
nta but let's be honest the original Metroid is not amazing. In fact I'd rather play Zelda 2

>>10405189
>You've clearly never even played the games so your opinion is worthless.
>It's the best exploration-based game ever.
It doesn't even come close to Morrowind. I feel bad admitting this but I've beat almost all retro Metroids.

>>10404910
>pocket
You weren't gonna play it anyway.

>>10404910
If you don't like shantae then you don't like nes metroid. GB Shantae might be primitive but it is huge and varied. Make sure you spend money and buy and use lots of items.

>>10405189
Metroid zero mission and fusion have some "stealth" where you need to avoid and run away.

>>10405252
Pay close attention to the cart, it's the Limited Run reprint, not the original GBC cartridge (which btw, had different character art style)

>>10405295
So you spent $50 on a repro cart because you thought it'd look good on the shelf? That wasn't very smart.

>>10405230
Lol no NES games are "amazing". Least of all Zelda which didn't get decent until the SNES, and Super Metroid was better than that entry. Zelda is so overhyped. It's impossible to get immersed in the world because it's so bare bones and cartoony graphically, story wise, and character wise so it kind of fails at its main intention.

>>10404910
Imagine being such a shameless desperate attention whore that you buy a game to impress strangers on the internet and this shitpost shit on it to try to impress the strangers on the internet who weren't impressed by you buying it. I'm shocked you posted that pic instead of you crying in front of a fence with no games locked behind it. lmfao what a faggot.

>>10405298
I keep all of my games in a bin. The only thing on my shelf is books, CDs and cassettes.

>>10405338
It's funny how you guys always come out of the woodwork and cry about people owning things.

>>10405380
You bought a knock-off Game Boy, calm down.

>>10404920
it's the LRG bootleg anyway, who fucking cares
OP is double the fag for falling for not only internet cunts but then FOMO too

>>10405236
>picture
I remember that it was a funny moment in Morrowind

>>10405380
Projecting pretty hard there kiddo. You're attention whoring with a repro. Aside from yours, any tears in this thread are from laughter at how pathetic you are.

>>10404954
>more money than sense
everytime
next time buy a brain

>>10405470
How is it a bootleg if it's officially licensed or endorsed by WayForward?
And LRG repros have all Game Boy or Nintendo related trademarks scrubbed, for reasons.

Wonder if GBA collectors would mind about the Limited Run references once Shantae Advance releases for the first time? And I wonder how's the quality of LRG's repros?

>>10404910
came here to laugh at you

also, git gud zoom zoom

>>10404910
>shartae
kek
not even worth emulating
now you know why barely anyone talks about the gameplay and the threads are just /d/ tier shitfests

>>10404910
You mean to tell me Nintendo fans were over valuing the quality of their games? Again? No way.

>>10405601
Holy shit you’re retarded

Where’s the autismo who always bring up tg-16 in relation to this shit game? I hope he’s okay…

>>10405605
Holy shit, you're a fanboy.

>>10405610
Shantae isn’t a Nintendo game, ya stupid faggot. Cry about it elsewhere little bitch.

>>10405617
Neither is pokemon dumb reddit retard.

I've played it for around an hour, I'm impressed by how it looks but I don't see myself playing for much longer.

>>10405625
What the fuck does that have to do with anything, schizo faggot? I told your bitch ass to go cry elsewhere.

>>10405657
Piss your pants all you want, I'm not going anywhere. Nintendo fans overrated Shanty because it's on the gay boy.

>>10405672
Cry here then, faggot boy. Your mental illness amuses me.

>>10404970
You came here to complain that you made a poor decision in buying a game you now discover you don't like. People are ribbing you because at this point there's no reason at all not to try something yourself before spending money on a physical copy.

To save you the time, none of the other Shantae games are any good either. Cool graphics and good animation, but they're all as boring as fuck.

>>10405672
Shantae is overrated because it looks good and no one here plays games.

>>10404910
>He opened it
Based, that's one less out there. Now my sealed copy is worth even more.

>>10404910
You didn't even consider emulating it first just to see if you like it before buying?

>>10404910
I liked the game enough. Also Shantae is sexy and I want to fuck her.

>>10405586
>How is it a bootleg
>have all Game Boy or Nintendo related trademarks scrubbed
why fucking ask me when you answer your own question you dumb faggot

It's a very dull game. You're not the only person people have conned into playing it.

>>10406872
Good. That's the retro experience.

>>10406867

>>10404910
I don't care what an anal logue faggot has to say, you're a retard who enjoys pissing away money on shit he doesn't need, want, or really use.

>>10407332
Shantae came out in 2002. People were already emulating not only the Game Boy but also the GBA at that point. There's no way you don't know this if you're not a zoomie

>>10404954
I'm not poor, and that's because I don't waste money on children's playthings for clout on a Vietnamese comicstrip board

>>10405315
Your mind is fucked beyond recovery, just leave this board. There are over 100 amazing NES games, you just don't want to play them because you've experienced other generations of gaming first like the zoomer you are.

>>10405315
Holy shit, finally someone who agrees with me. 99% of all NES titles are shit, and Zelda is so overhyped it's incomprehensible, for the exact reasons you mentioned, brother.

>>10404954
>Because some people aren't poor and they have faith in their /vr/ bros.
Then he doesn't have to complain. A drop in the bucket for such a wealthy individual.

Shantae is one of those series that has good ideas, but right as it starts to get fun the game ends. Pretty much every Wayforward game feels like that.

>>10407431
Oh yeah? How'd they emulate warioware twisted then you so called non zoomer?

>>10407446
>I don't waste money on children's playthings
I mean, I see what you're doing, and agree that you're doing it right. Although, for the topic at hand,
>children's playthings
is a hysterical way of putting it, but subjective. anyone that still plays, likely appreciates nostalgia sure, but actually likes the games, I'd imagine. Not all of us are man children. Some of us actually revisit the games we played because of our kids.
>clout on a Vietnamese comicstrip board
Again, hysterical. I'm sure this is applicable to someone, maybe, Watafegs perhaps..

>>10404910
Just shut up and play through it you retard

>listening to troons who only play games to pretend they're female
you brought it on yourself anon. there are no good games where you play as girls
