/vr/ - Retro Games

Because arcade games are trash and Spyro is enjoyable.

>>5194152
Not an argument

>>5194179
I'm not even arguing, Arcades were scams to rip off quarters from retarded children and this is a simple fact.

>>5194187
Soul: golden age arcade games
Soulless: Spyro

>>5194152
Imagine the level of retardation you’d need to have to reach the conclusion that Spyro the Dragon is more enjoyable than, say, Galaga or Robotron: 2084

>>5194136
Post evidence of this or I'm assuming you're strawmanning.

>>5194213
It is. Fuck golden age cancer.

>he thinks zoomers can actually formulate their own opinions

Also, back to /shmup/. Its like no one over there plays videogames at all.

>>5194204
Not an argument

>>5194136
Because they grew up with Spyro and will never ever get to experience gold age arcade.

>>5194329
What a great loss. Sarcasm.

Because they grew up with them??? Who cares what people much younger than you like? I don't give a shit if some 20-something doesn't get my hobbies and neither should you

the fuck is this thread

>>5194213
Imagine the level of retardation you’d need to have to reach the conclusion that Spyro the Dragon is comparable to games of totally different genres like, say, Galaga or Robotron: 2084

>>5194136
I'm more nostalgic for spyro because I actually played it

>>5194136
this game is the reason alpha males are a dying breed in the zoomer generation. I’ve never met a zoomer who praises this game that isn’t either transgender or a faggot

>ever liking Banjo, Spyro, Croc etc. Anthropomorphic mascot guys collect-a-thon/shallow 3D platformers

They're shit and I'm glad they died.

>>5194136
Fucking excuse you.
I fucking love arcade games AND Spyro
I still don't know what the fuck a zoomer is though, back in my day we called our folk "millenials".

Imagine making the 90th Spyro hate thread. We get it. Some of us were young enough to appreciate Spyro when he debuted. Liking Spyro and liking 8-bit console games aren't mutually exclusive.

>>5194136
Yeah I see this a lot round here, people praising utterly forgettable fifth gen landfill like Spyro and Crash while shitting on the 8-bit era classics for being too “primitive”.

>>5195820
I have never shat on 8-bit games for being primitive, even once.
Christ, I even praise some Atari 2600 games where most people wouldn't.

>>5195816
>90th
the number of cocks the average Spyro fan has fellated

you were probably being breastfed when spyro first came out. nobody but other zoomers are buying this disingenuous act

>>5194136
The gaming industry is cucked by women now. Its not about age.

>>5195834
Stop projecting Spyro trans faggot

>>5194136
Guyro the Fagon

>>5195837
>"stop projecting" he says as he calls me the thing he secretly is for enjoying the wrong video game

this reminds me of that one guy shitposting about mgs and half life and getting touchy over thief

>>5195843
Your favorite video game stars an underaged purple dragon with a “sassy” attitude, just stop and think for a second how that reflects on your masculinity, or lack thereof.

>>5195860
what? spyro is headstrong and fearless. you not being able to see past that because he's purple only reflects on how fragile your non-masculinity is

i feel bad defending spyro now though because reignited is ass and people really need to stop pretending it's good

>>5195753

>>5195906
No, I genuinely hold that opinion. I'm sorry you don't like it, but I always prefered 2D platformers to these dull collect-a-thons. DK64 is another culprit. Boring, tedious pile of ooze.

It's okay if you like them. I don't have to.

>>5195908
Spyro is way better than DK64 and those other games you listed because Spyro feels awesome to control. Being able to gallop / run and glide was fun as fuck. Collecting those pretty gems was satisfying. Breathing fire on people is strangely way more enjoyable than combat moves in the vast slew of platformers I played in that time period.

>>5195941
you forgot to mention the part where you don't have to constantly backtrack to barrels and swap out your kongs

>>5195948
>swap out your kongs
This phrase really cracks me up

>>5194136
Because they're plebs with no taste.
>>5195820
Crash Bandicoot was actually pretty decent.

I tried Spyro 1 (PS1) last month. It was clunky but rather okay overall. Until the final boss. I spent 5 hours straight trying to catch the bastard before giving up. I came to be able to nail those key holding assholes with speed and ease. Devs had some big balls to not checkpoint you after the boss fight proper had begun. Respect for that, but going through the key grind after each and every death did nothing to help me actually succeed and win the game. Overall, pretty chill and easy-going game. Would recommend. And this is from someone who hasn't played/enjoyed many 3D platformer collectathons fwiw.

>>5194136
Shut the fuck up

Spyro has aged well though. Crash is purely nostalgia but Spyro holds up.

>>5196173
Just finished Crash 1 for the first time 2 days ago (not zoomer but dad was anti consoles and only had a pc) honestly pretty good game, solid controls, the only bullshit I found was some of the jumps in the breaking bridge and the shitty saving system otherwise decent game.

>>5196179
Controls and save system in the sequels are far better.

>>5196173

That's literally the opposite though. Spyro and Crash always went hand in hand because the two companies were buddies, but Spyro was never good.

>>5194136
Because furry pedo trans faggots are rife in the zoomer community

Lmao getting this emotional over video games.

>>5194354
Imagine the retardation of levels you'd have to need to conclusion the reach that Mario Super World is better than 64 Superman since difference is totally genres.

>>5195941
>>5195948
Spyro is definitely better than DK64, I'll give you that.

>>5196390
you don't make any sense brainlet and we don't care about your glorified slot machines
there is a reason emulators for arcades exists and nobody talks about those shallow moneygrabber excuses for a game
you can call me a zoomer all you want, you are a minority and you are going extinct very soon, I'm enjoying your tears and lmao thinking at your allowances being drained by shitty games while I was pirating superior console and pc games and emulating portables since the late 90s

>>5196407
>being this mad about Spyro
Relax. You might not like the arcade model of gobbling quarters but that doesn't mean the games are bad. Galaga is a good game.

I'm not the other guy btw, I just felt you needed some perspective. Over here talking about extinction and shit because of a damn arcade cabinet.

>>5196421
it's ok, just a little tired of contrarians in this board, allegedly one of the "best" but in reality full of scalpers and idiots spending thousands in ancient toys in the name of authenticity (or worse they buy $300 evermeme and get salty if called out on their retardation)
I'm out, enjoy being fucked by nostalgia

>>5195908
That's fine but using harsh language implies you look down on people who do.

>>5194136
>zoomers
>arcade

Because when these little faggots grew up, the 'lame rip-off' arcades had already been replaced with the glorious Gaystation(s).

You're the cheap soulless piece of garbage why bother shitting such a colorful pastel-y cute wonderful game. You just glide around and torch dudes and ram em it's so relaxing.
I'm sure you have something better to do.

>>5194136
Zoomers are retarded.

>>5194136
Zoomers have a hardon for sandbox/open-world bullshit for some reason, perhaps it's autism.

>>5194213
Galaga's the sort of thing you play for 10 minutes and then never again because you've already seen it all

>>5195941
>>5196396
>Spyro is definitely better than DK64, I'll give you that.

Spyro is a game you can tell it was made with little children in mind. DK64 required lateral thinking and figuring out where all the collectables were.

>>5194136
>zoomers
>soulless
I wish everyone who used these terms would die. Same with kino.

>>5196828
Open world games and exploring in general are actually pretty good.

>boomers shitting on spryo
>retards shitting on arcade games
Faggots, the lot of ya.

>>5196847
he started first, I actually like arcades (when I infinite credits)

>>5196842
>use the red kong to press the red switch
Truly the highest lateral thinking of our times.

>>5194213
Imagine the level of retardation you'd need to reach the conclusion that what is enjoyable is not subjective and that people simply have different taste than you.

>>5194136
Jewish brainwashing. They are slaves. rats in a box earning RNG cheese from their overlords.

>>5196847
this
if you didn't have and enjoy both namco museum and spyro on your ps1 don't fucking talk to me

>>5196843
soulless is okay, but zoomer and kino fucking boil my blood.

>Spyro: A Fun and Easy Game
ITS NOT AS HARD AS CRASH OR 8-BIT GAMES WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE IT REEEEEEE. When will this difficult=good meme end. I guess I should know by now everyone on this site is fuckin autistic and hates fun but Jesus Christ you people really love to hammer that fact home.

I love Spyro, I love Crash, I love 8-bit, I love 16-bit. Fight me you assblasted faggots. Real retro fans enjoy video games.

>>5194136
>buzzwords
fuck off back where you came from

>>5196843
It's what those kids like to say nowadays. Not a lot you can do about it unfortunately.

>>5195754
Zoomers are "newer than millennials"

>>5195820
>utterly forgettable fifth gen landfill
Seeing as how they are beloved enough to get remakes, you are just embarrassing yourself with those half-assed pot shots.

People who unironically use “Boomer” and “Zoomer” are the cancer of this site

>>5194136
Coz that's what they played when they were kids.
>>5194187
Standard no talent zoomer opinion.

i liked spyro, but it feels like it's missing something, there's no objective you just collect "coins"

>>5199790
You're also supposed to collect other things such as dragons and their eggs.

>>5199808
exactly, that's why i said coins instead of gems. There's no real point to it, it's a nice fleshed out world.

It feels like if sm64 had no stars, and just were levels with coins.

>>5199817
how dragons and eggs are different than stars?
>just were levels with coins.
so exactly like every previous mario game?
I think I'm getting baited in a bait thread

>>5194136
Arcade games are so far removed from modern game design that zoomers literally don't understand what's happening in them.

To them, Spyro is at least recognizable in content even if it's primitive.

>>5200114
>insert coin
>ding ding boom
>you died
>insert coin
pretty sure the only thing happened is that your allowance disappeared
now try to prove me wrong opening a thread discussing good arcade games instead of shitting on good games and calling everyone a zoomer

>>5194136
They were raised on Spyro, not Legend of Zelda II. Simple.

>>5194353
It's the entirety of today's 4chan, in-micro. People pretending to be retarded because they heard that this was the popular place to pretend to be retarded, except they were too retarded to figure out that pretending to be retarded is still retarded.

>>5200126
>zoomers can't even afford to play arcade games
Rofl, stay butthurt that I have a pension and you never will, kiddo.

>>5200172
Jokes on you I'm actually just being my normal retarded self.

>>5199981
Mario 64 has actual objectives, you keep reentering the level and it changes or you need to do something different.
Spyro has good levels. But all you do is collect different types of shit. Dragons aren't different than collecting gems, at least the egg thieves move. But again it's like if all you did in sm64 was get coins. You could say well there's red coins and blue coins.
It doesn't matter it's still just the same shit. There's just a core gameplay element that's missing, the game feels incomplete.

>>5200971
can you breathe fire in sm64?
checkmate retard rofl shuya rise up

>>5200126
have you considered not being bad at games?

>>5201019
Have you considered playing good games instead of gambling simulators that try to rip off the player?

>>5201025
good and better are relative terms

>>5201025
>good games
Such as?

>>5200951
>implying you cannot emulate these games with a toaster for free but still nobody is playing them or talking about these shitty games
the only threads about arcades here are for the aesthetic of cabinets, not the actual games
>>5200971
have actually played the games? they are full of minigames where obtaining an egg was nothing like collecting gems
>>5201019
>git gud
and how this is relevant with the discussion exactly? how much money did you spent before 1cc a shitty game?

>>5201041
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKeoPSPm4kw

>>5197858
kotaku was right

gamers fetishize 'skill' too much

>>5201075
I've played one. Collecting an egg isn't unlike collecting blue coins.
I said I don't dislike the game, it just feels like it's missing something.
The only minigames in the first game are the flight levels and i guess figuring out obscure super jump paths?

>>5194136
because spyro isn't lousy with cheap deaths, artificial difficulty inflation and janky early game design

>t. 30 y.o. boomer still in denial about stealing change from his parents to play galaxian

>>5194213
What's your favourite level on Robotron:2084?

>>5196480
When did the world become all about people's feelings and how virtuous it is to not hurt them? People are idiots, and how they feel about things are idiotic too, fucking fantasy bullshit.

>>5197314
Thank fuck I have never played that game.

>>5195839
I made this exact same joke at my buddy's house like 6 months ago and everyone was just stoned enough to completely crack the fuck up at it, thanks for reminding me.

>>5201714
:-/// brrr.

ITT: Boomers seething.

Kids have shit taste.

I should know, I was one once.

>>5199387
>doubling down on ad hominem
wew

Stop the boomer vs. zoomer divide and conquer shit. Anything made by talented, passionate developers that push the boundaries of technology fits the definition of soulful. A lot of classic arcade games fit that description and so do the original Spyro series. I haven't played any of their recent titles, but Insomniac was a top-notch dev once upon a time.

>golden age arcade games
Yikes! That is some strong sunk cost fallacy going on here. Just because you wasted all of your milk money on them doesn't make them genuinely good games. People prefer games like Spyro because it is legitimately a good game with sound game design and not a glorified skinner box like coin up arcade games.

>>5205198
All videogames are skinnerboxes, stupid zoomer. Just because arcades are pay to play while consoles are a one time purchase doesn't change the fact that you're just pushing buttons to receive a dopamine hit.

>>5196847
The final redpill is that OP is a scheming zoomer who wants to divide us.

>>5205492
>Z Will Not Divide Us

>>5205198

>>5205492
>>5196847
This. OP threw out such blatant bait. He literally took two random fanbases that have no rivalry whatsoever and created some madeup argument between them that never existed.

And retards actually ate it up.

Behind every shitpost: The eternal zoomer.

>>5205512
Hating is so much fun though.

>>5195748
>isn’t either transgender or a faggot
these are the same thing

>>5205520
You're an idiot.

>>5205724
All transgenders are faggots.
But not all faggots are transgender.

>>5205230
don't be ridicolous, almost every psx I used was modded, only faggots and who didn't know better bought games
I got mine already modded and with 10 games and I had a pc with a burner (less than 50% success rate, but at least CD-Rs were cheap)
I literally own only two original games and more than a hundred burned games
now call the police loser

KYS ANTI HL1 SPYRO PRO THIEF ARCADE BARNEYFAG

Why do zoomers prefer collectathons instead of hardcore action platformers?

>>5208563
Keep seething fake boomer.

It's barely okay to play video games once you're out of high school, but to care what other people play and be """"elitist"""" is just sad and embarrassing.

>>5194187

>>5194187
Because an arcade is a magical place that can transform ignorant, whiny kids into fucking ninjas. It's just how it works: you walk in a trash-talking, limp-wristed, Final Fantasy-playing, useless idiot, and you walk out finally humble and respectful towards skill-based games and the players who take them on.

>>5209207
OBSESSED

>>5209297
Arcade games are all about the adrenaline rush which kicks in within a couple of minutes of starting one, and doesn't let up until you are either dead or managed to beat the game.

As a low-T basedboy, you're unable to withstand this level of psychological pressure so you puss out, sputtering "muh quartersuckers" and resign yourself to lethargic collectathon platformers; the sort of games used to pacify 6-year-olds at the dentist's waiting room.
