/vr/ - Retro Games

Dont watch them. Aint no body got time for that.

>>4250005
Why are you still watching them?

>e-celeb
>00s

>>4250005
>early to mid 2000's game reviewers

For me there was only these two, and they were fun, until they took the skits away, and went full blown sjw.

>>4250005
Never watched them, not even once. No idea whats going on with millenials apart from them typing AUTISM every few minutes on this very board.

<-- I watch these old dudes. They aren't funny. But they remind me of the 90s american magazine scene..In a good way.

>>4251720
Game Sack are millennials, you idiot.

>>4251761
Sorry, sweety, but no - they're Gen-Xers.

>>4251697
God damn I miss TechTV, before G4 TechTV and later just G4 shat everything up.
>>4251720
I hate how they try to play up their fanboy acts at times, but for the most part they approach games with a very open minded nature and don't try to exaggerate issues they have with the games like AVGN does.

>>4251761
progeria perhaps?

>>4251813
the gaiares cover episode was hilarious though

This is still their best episode in my opinion.

>>4250005
>Why they still acting like mid 00s cool millenials?
Could be worse, could be CGR Mark acting like a total doofus.

>>4251872
T-T-T-T-TRUXTON :D

>>4251872
Holy shit, I'm only really familiar with LGR and AVGN but they pegged them so well I almost regret not watching more retro focused Youtubers to fully appreciate this.

>why is X youtuber doing Y?!

Monetization is killing youtube, these chucklefucks are just doing whatever they think is going to get them ad revenue. While that guy that just wants to make an interesting/funny/informative channel is bogged down by the algorithm.

The only people doing decent stuff are the "old" guys with substantial legacy subscribers that they can still crack the algorithm.

>>4251697
>triggered by sjw

Poor babies of vr can never catch a break :(

>>4251813
But they have shit worse than a donkey's ass.
The bald dude hates Fire Emblem because there's actual strategy involved and his units are always at risk.
And always looks uncomfortable at the camera, he can't act or even look natural, always sounds stiff and fake.
The other dude is also bad but way better than him, at least can act and be natural at the camera, but drools over parallax scrolling more than he should.

>>4252168
Also, if you want to watch actual content and good youtubers, go watch Ahoy, Jeremy Parish, StopSkeletonsFromFighting and Chrontendo.

>>4252170
GuruLarry and Ashens too (when he talks about game design and bad games)

>>4251697
These people like to pander to nostalgia fags. It's their whole schtick and sometimes they can even be self aware about it. Also the man in that image is not PBG.

Also, not /vr/.

>>4252190

I meant to reply to OP

>>4250005
Reminder that e celebs will always ever be pathetic friend simulators.

>>4252170
Jeremy Parish is fucking awful.

>>4252237
No.

>>4252241
Hi, Jeremy.

>>4252249
Hi.

>>4251771
Are they really if they act like a millenials?

>>4250005
Ecelebs weren't around in the 2000s, champ.

Also not retro.

>>4252267
They were in their 20's when the genesis came out.

>>4250005

>>4250005
nothin worse than these two losers. hard to look at and impossible to listen to

>>4253149
but mike is legit pretty cool

>>4253157
hi mike

>>4253157
>but mike is legit pretty cool
he's good at editing around the save states that he uses

>>4253149
I think that mike matei is clinically retarded. Any game that requires basic reading or thinking he struggles.
Just watch him playing mario+rabbid or breath of the wild.

Really?

Mike is too pure for this world.

>>4252237
Bro, Jeremy Parish aka Toasty Frog aka GameSpite has literally been writing about old games on the internet since before the fucking N64.

I feel like he's grandfathered in. Besides he speaks Japanese and has done several very in depth analysis of retro games. Also the only guy worth listening to on Retronauts.

He's the OG.

>>4252170
>patrician taste

Until We Win was like a poor-mans version of GCCX.

>>4253471
>Besides he speaks Japanese
I never got the impression he did, but then again I haven't browsed his site in over a decade. Maybe he got better.

>>4253483
>Uses save states
No thanks.

>>4252168
Someone not liking a game you like isn't a bad thing unless they treat their opinion as fact like Babbage's Gramps and anything 64 related, something the Game Sack guys don't tend to do unless a game is really awful. Also maybe you've just adjusted yourself to expecting an overabundance of forced showmanship from Youtubers because he (Dave I think?) comes off as the more mellow and natural of the two, not "stiff and fake".

>>4253487
I mean, yeah, if there's something good I can say about them is that they're being themselves and not overly hyped and ALWAYS SCREAMING as, say, SpaceHamster (god I hate that guy).
They might be awkward at camera but at least that's their real selves and I can always appreciate that, but when your host feels awkward, you feel awkward too.

>>4253484
Mike Matei uses save states too. He was caught during one of his pointless playthrough videos, and during a Mike and Ryan video too. No doubt in my mind he was using save states during his Silver Surfer walkthrough, it was so obvious. He won't deny it, he's just letting that dumb fan base think he's better than he actually is

>>4252168
>But they have shit worse than a donkey's ass.
Indeed. I saw their recent TG16 retrospective and they recommend the English version of Last Alert over the Japanese original. Fuck that shit. I take Kenshiro voicing the MC over the shitty dub actors anyday.

>>4253498
That's weird. I always thought he only played on OG hardware.

It may be controversial but I think that James Rolfe is actually pretty good. Too bad he feels compelled to keep up his retarded "nerd" character. His reviews of Swordquest and Street Fighter 2010 are great and in general his gaming history bits are entertaining.

If only he weren't verbal-spamming "fuck" and "shit" and adding unnecessary acted bits. If he had a show that was "James Rolfe Showcases Retro Games", that would be great.

I also love Chrontendo but I think he has the opposite problem, he needs at least the basic level of fucking editing in his vids.

>>4252146
>complains about complaining
Found the tumblrina

>>4253471
>OG
You wanna know how I know not to take anything you say seriously?

>>4250005
I think Jeff is funny, but his choice of review material lately has been pretty shitty.

>>4252146
Well yeah, complaining about people that are preachy moralistic bitches is pretty common in the real world. It's the same reason why no one likes evangelicals or progressives: they can't enjoy life's good things without going into a rant about "MUH JESUS" and "MUH DIVERSITY" and not being moralistic prudes 24/7

>>4253508
Not anymore. How else do you think he can beat difficult games unless he uses save states, edits together the video, and then pretends to play over the recorded video? He says he uses emulators now so the picture quality is better, but we all know why

>>4253597
Sounds more like
>stop complaining and let me be a typical gamer jerk without consequences
As usual.

>>4253694
>stop complaining and let me be a typical atheist sinner

>>4253694

More like:
>Stop being a bitch and don't tell me how to live. Also, mind your own business you nosy piece of shit.
Which is a perfectly sane way to live.

>>4253708
Yep, typical gamer jerk logic.

>>4253714
Typical moralistic prude logic. They have to get themselves involved in other people's lives because they're warriors for some grand cause and don't have enough sense not to be nosy for no good reason.

>>4253157
>has to use the pause glitch to beat MM1 bosses
>cool
nah

>>4251872

hah
