/vr/ - Retro Games

Or maybe, here's a thought, you just need to play more games.

Do you have a degree in baiting? That's a heck of a lot of bait, very efficiently squeezed into just two short sentences. Impressive!

>>2569058
I disagree, japan made a lot of cutesy games like these starring little grills.

>>2569058
Tomb Raider was fantastic. Lara Croft was your average woman doing extraordinary things.

If you're serious about games with grull protags:

>>2569058
You're an idiot.

>>2569091
>Doesn't even list Jurassic Park
top pleb tier

>>2569058
You should play strip fighter. It has an all female cast. Very progressive game for the time.

>>2569064
But that won't make games good or new games exist.

Where can I even buy pop'n for an affordable price?

>>2569130
buy downloading the rom

>>2569130
Rare games are expensive, retard. Have you not figured that out yet?

>>2569130
The past.

>>2569130
Download it, fool, it's fun.

>>2569135
But earthbound isn't rare and it's expensive

>>2569123
>ugly fro girl
>ugly naruto mom girl
>okay kinda cool mohawk girl
>ugly generic girl
>ugly bird head girl
>ugly stripper

They should have made the girls attractive.

>>2569149
Non-rare games being expensive doesn't contradict rare games being expensive. Don't really know what kind of point you're trying to make here.

>>2569149
If EarthBound is so fucking abundant, then please show me where all the fucking copies are so I can get my hands on one. Oh, wait. You're one of those retarded conspiracy theorists who thinks every seller on eBAY has a million copies under their bed but only sell a few at a time so people don't catch on.

>>2569158
Maybe it's for niche tastes.

>>2569170
Esrthbound is common as shit you idiot. Nintendo advertised the fuck out of it and printed a ton of copies. Also the fact that at any given time there are at least 10-15 copies of the game on eBay shows it really isn't hard to find.

>>2569170
You can always go on ebay and buy one. Like the anon said, they're not rare, they're just expensive. If you don't want to pay through the nose for a copy of it then just emulate. It's the same damn game and that way you're not contributing to the problem you're complaining about. It's win-win!

>>2569058

>>2569181
I feel bad for collectors. If they liked the game and wanted to play it that would be one thing, but collectors don't play their games, they just shelve them because they like to see their collection. That's as far as their enjoyment goes.

>>2569170
I own 9 copies personally. Probably didn't pay 3 bucks for the lot. I collected in the late 90's however while I was going to estate sales and buying lots for my dad's antique business. I've actually paid 30 bucks for a console and 60 something games. You won't believe me and I don't really give a care if you do. I'm literally not hoarding them... I'm just financially comfortable and selling shit on ebay would cut into my free time. I've got like 50 copies of Super mario world or cool spot. At least 13 chrono triggers... Not shilling... just too lazy to sell this shit because I don't have to. They sit stacked in my basement.

>>2569207
oh yeah man you're cool so cool man so cool you just don't care about anything yeah so lazy so cool very wow much impress

>>2569189
>I feel bad for collectors.

Why? Most people who collect things like to collect rare and or expensive things. I look at it the same as someone collecting coins. Why would anyone want outdated currency? I haven't a clue, but if it makes someone happy then cool for them.

The only people I feel bad for are the ones who think collecting is the "correct" way to play old games and end up paying the kinds of prices that collectors do because of it. But really, it's hard to feel bad for anyone in 2015 who's too stupid not to emulate.

>>2569226
Collecting coins is about history, also coins are just cool

>>2569207
>You won't believe me and I don't really give a care if you do
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like... your opinion, man...

>>2569231
I assume that's how game collectors feel as well. This crazy world has all sorts.

>>2569058
>Metroid
>Sexualized

>>2569251
That's Samus, she's not sexualized. Metroid is.

>>2569213
Congrats on recognizing satire... Maybe you should just emulate that which is easily emulatable and not waste time collecting garbage like some fat hoarder woman. What are you seriously going to do with that cartridge other than masturbate all over it?

>>2569262
>i got caught being a fucking retard and now i'll say it's satire
before telling others how to not waste time you should practice not wasting time yourself

>>2569264
When I drive my ferrari in the hollywood hills... Look at these motherfucking BOOKS!
What's your paypal transfer info? I'll give you the money to buy that cart so I can post a video of myself doing it. You've caught me bored.

>>2569264
>>2569280
I'm not kidding. What's it go for like $250?

>>2569292
Yeah

>>2569115
technically the dinosaurs are sex changing trannies

>>2569058
As a feminist who hates sexualized protagonists: how sexualized a female protag is has no bearing on how good the game is.

>>2570037
But people are willing to look past flaws or put up with more shit because there's some eye candy. When your boner is doing the thinking you're more immune to bullshit, that's how men have dealt with vapid cunts throughout history.

People unironically like the first Tomb Raider games even though moving is a chore, there is no way somebody could even say they LIKED that backasswards way of turning around.

>>2570051
indiana jones and the infernal machine is essentially tomb raider without tits but the cart still sells for a lot on ebay

I wouldn't say so.

>>2570051
Which is why everyone praises Bubble Bath Babes, Beat 'Em and Eat 'Em, Yakyuken, and Gals Panic, right?

>>2570104
>Beat 'Em and Eat 'Em
>Yakyuken

you're grabbing at straws here.

>>2570104
I unironically love pipi & bibis

>>2570051
You're retarded, they traded smooth controls for jumping accuracy.

>>2569058
>Tomb Raider
>Super sexualized

Yes, because those 4 polygons that made up her breasts were REALLY distracting during all that exploration, platforming and puzzle solving...

Oh hell, let's drop the fecade, and I'll just tell you outright to shove it up your ass you fucking tmblr scumbag.

TR was better than Magical pop'n which was a very generic platformer, and basically just pedo bait, honestly

TR actually moved gaming forward and MP was just a game. So blow me.

>>2570051
TR's controls are stiff for all of 5 minutes, then you master them (very easily, might I add) and theyre as smooth as anything else. They made the controls that way so that you could have accuracy. Not just in jumping, but in run start up and slow down, back hops, turn around tumbles and ect. You always knew exactly where you were in relation to everything else, unlike say... Mario 64, which HAS smooth controls, but you had to guesstimate too much for my liking honestly.

As some other anon said, TR traded smooth controls for accuracy. If that's not you thing, fine, but don't say that its just a boner bait game, because that's false.

Even back then, 14 year old me laughed at how ugly the graphics were, and then just enjoyed the GAME.

>>2570174
You are so mad that it's ridiculous. And it's "facade" not "fecade" you idjit.

Just because you're bad at mario doesn't make Tomb Raider a good or intuitive game. You dealt with the bullshit for her breasts. You don't have to lie and say your kiddie boner didn't quiver at her huge hooters as if that will make other people say "huh, I guess Tomb Raider DIDN'T suck shit"

Regardless of why they did what they did, it was bad.

>>2569178

>>2569149
Earthbound is uncommon, but common NIB. The only reason it's so expensive is because the demand for it since apparently it's a fun game. That's also a reason why Contra is 30$ and not 5$, it's got the demand for it.

>>2569132
Severely underrated post.

>Metroid
>sexualized
Wait, what? 99% of the game is spent in bulky power suit and even in Other M, you spend most of the game blasting various shit into pieces and even get opportunity to THROW A GIANT LAVA WHALE INTO THE WALL. With nothing, but Grapple Beam. Said lava whale is big enough to be able to hold Ridley in its mouth.

>>2571393
Esrthbound isn't fun at all though. It's literally a meme game with a horribly written story.

>>2571526
Did you really think OP was serious at all?

>>2569158
You should have made your tastes attracting.

>>2569170
Not to be rude, but the store I work at doesn't go two weeks without a copy of earthbound... it sells because Nintenbabies, copies come in in lots that people are getting rid of from their childhoold pretty often.

Compared to something like MMX3- which I haven't seen come through in over a year yeah... Earthbound isn't fucking rare.

Don't you have a picture of Iwata to jerk off over and cry in front of?

>>2569231
Old coins often also have some amount of gold or silver, so they're at least worth the value of the metal. With other collectable, it's really hard to tell what's going to happen down the road. At one point not so long ago people were spending tons of money on Magic: The Gathering cards and Beanie Babies. But what are those things actually worth now?

Youkai Buster

also know as that Jetsons game in the great US of A.

>>2569127
It will make you realize more games exist than the few you know.

>>2569259
Damn right, the things I'd do to this thing's soft jelly body... hng
