/vr/ - Retro Games

>>6096221
Yeah you’re a tard and also can’t pick good games. If you can’t find any modern games you like, you really do have a mental deficiency. I grew up and love retro but saying there are no fun modern games is just asinine.

>>6096221
You are not retarded for thinking that modern games are generally less replayable.
You are retarded for making this thread though. Lurk more.

man it depends on what sorts of games you like. Games definitely aren't hard in the same kind of way they used to be, but I think if you look at a lot of indie games there's stuff that can scratch the same itch.

so yeah a tard

>>6096221
Modern games don't tend to be as well made, especially if they're high profile AAA titles, due to the fact that the game industry panders to the most casual of casuals in order to avoid having their games labeled as "clunky", which of course means that everything in modern games is streamlined to the point where it barely feels like you're actually playing the game. Hence why you have the recent phenomenon of "movie games" that didn't exist in the 64 era. Some indie games still stay true to the spirit of old games, but you have to actively look for them and rely on word of mouth from other people online who have played these games in most cases.

You know the game industry isn't solely making Mass Effect and such, right? I mean Street Fighter still exists. You don't play that just once. There are still simulations and war games and variants on the roguelike formula and so on and so on. There are indie games that aren't under much pressure to be movies, and there are big-budget franchises that for whatever reason don't try to be movies either. I mean yeah, there are lots of movie games, but you don't have to play those. Just, like, don't play them.

Do you even need to ask? As you're already been told, lurk moar.

Guillotine yourself.

If they are 8th gen games than you are enlightened. Congrats
>>6096229
Almost no 8th gen games are good soigoy

Indiegames are mostly pixeltrash

>>6096221
I prefer you're mom over your sister.

>>6096221
retro games are just better, I personally am an exclusive 2D gamer now even though I grew up with 3D games. it just means you have good taste in my opinion.
>>6096229
truly one of the most retarded things I've read here. kys

>>6096262
What the fuck are you talking about? the fifth gen was when cgi cutscenes became a thing with the PlayStation

>>6096221
It depends on the genre. Puzzle games, fighters, shmups and some others have high replay. That's the same then as now.

RPGs, adventure games and other story based stuff are usually only fun once through and that's the same then as now as well.

If There's any difference it's that there are more story based games now.

>>6096818
Really?

>Hence why you have the recent phenomenon of "movie games" that didn't exist in the 64 era.

well 2bh a movie game would be kinda hard to make for Commodore

>>6096262
Real talk, Super Mario is far more casual and accessible, especially to people unfamiliar with games than almost any modern release is.

>>6096920
So are sega arcade games

>>6096827
That isn't CGI...

>>6096232
Spbp - lack of repayability seems to be a design philosophy these days. I literally could not BELIEVE The Last of Us had no NG+ content

>>6096349
Imagine not liking video games.

>>6096925
Agreed on that as well. Outside of fighters it applies to most arcade games.

>>6096221
Your post is basically, "I have preferences and opinions, does that make me retarded?" and the answer is no. The fact that you felt compelled to ask strangers if having normal human thoughts is retarded, well, that makes you retarded.

>>6096931
Last of Us is an adventure game, most of them never did.

>>6096928
The CGI was the important part.

>>6096939
Indie games are shit the devs are half as talented as the programmers of yore, their fan games and there utterly derivative and interchangeable. i dont know how people get excited for indie metroidvania number 5720

>>6096262
>Hence why you have the recent phenomenon of "movie games" that didn't exist in the 64 era.
The first two games I remember people griping about being interactive movies were Final Fantasy X and Xenosaga. If only we knew how bad things could really get.

Old games were in part about making money but in contrast to today there was more leeway for folks to shape their labor of love in the style they wanted to... given they were fast and efficient.

Today the teams are too big, the official culture has changed and gayming has gone totally mainstream... all bad factors for having an awesome product and fun.

>>6096964
Kek

>>6096983
The opposite is true. Now many games are made as hobby projects that are more about doing what the creator wants to try out than making straight profit. That's why there are so many independent games these days.

>>6096982
That's because you're young.

>>6096353
>pixeltrash
wrong board

>>6097001
People here are literally too stupid to find games they enjoy. How do you think they can find new games to play if they don't even know how to acquire ROMs?

>>6096221
it's not that weird. i was born in 1997 and my favourite game is super mario bros 3.

>>6096221
Modern games are more cynically made, they want one game to keep you paying forever, where as back in the day, the home game had to justify 50 bucks worth of arcade tokens, so it needed to be really tough or really long

Games back then were made replayable in lieu of being long. Video games were still expensive back then, even more so if you account for inflation. But the production scale was diminutive compared to now. So in order for a consumer to get their money's worth, they had to be replayable, or take a lot of trial and error, or time to figure it out. Today, people have the means to make games straightforward without compromising mileage, by comparison.

>>6096221
nah it's not abnormal man. zoomzoom here also and I spend more time trying to get thru retro games then modern. Dont get me wrong I like a bit of the loot and shoot of games like fallout 4 (its ok with mods) but man some of these retro games go oh you think your good and just slap you down for it... well me at least since im still learning alot of the older mechanics of the systems. Just enjoy it and if your friends give you shit try to show them games to play. I recently got my one friend to sit and play some super mario world 2 player with me and we tore into the game for like 3 hrs straight trying to unlock things. Had a blast. He even said bro we are def playing that next time I stop in. Alot of great games our generation missed out on or doesnt know about waiting to play. Keep at it man and keep enjoying the worlds they present. I recently started checking out these things called roguelikes (there's modern ones so that helps) but today im trying the dos version of Rogue. Quite excited to see how that goes for me.

>>6097087
Ohh I don't. The retards here who whine like the game industry is in collapse and there's only AAA games and Free2Play phone trash anywhere are my comedy goldmine.

>>6096229
fpbp

>>6097127
Once the microtransaction model was successful games began to be designed to facilitate that system. Look how games are made now with the dlc planned out from the start. Everything is designed around generating revenue. Money has always been important but the initial purchase was all developers could really worry about in the old days.

This really changes the experience.

>>6097142
>but today im trying the dos version of Rogue. Quite excited to see how that goes for me.

Let us know, I'm curious. Rogue was my first real video game love.

>>6096965
Its a survival horror game

>>6096229
ok zoomer

>>6098272
I thought it looked more adventurey, but also didn't play it. It varies by series still. Monster Hunter gets loads of free dlc as always.

>>6096804
>truly one of the most retarded things I've read here. kys
This response is my pick for dumbest shit I've read here

>>6096221
You probably just have awful taste

>movie style games didnt exist before the modern gen

uhh... What is D, Enemy Zero, Corpse Killer? there was an entire studio devoted to making movie style games 20+ years ago, and that's before i mention the don bluth games.

goddamn tourists.

>>6099410
Most of the people here who pretend to be all about old games are actually only talking about Nintendo and occasionally arcades. They're pretty clueless about everything else.

>>6096221
Posting this like it's something to brag about is retarded as fuck, yeah. But you'll never be as absolutely retarded as this thing >>6096229.

>>6096221
boomer is a state of mind
go play some quake 3 and listen to 80s metallica

>>6096221
No, you're actually a smart guy. Modern games are extremely derivative and seek audiences that are either too broad or too narrow. Enjoy whatever you like, by the way. Regardless, it's nice that almost every game worth playing is now free and easily accessible.

>>6096974
imagine using they're wrong 2 different ways in the same sentence. absolute brainlet. opinion discarded.

>>6101968
you are an angry gay, though, so his opinion is still valid and alive

>Indie games are shit the devs are half as talented as the programmers of yore, their fan games and there utterly derivative and interchangeable. i dont know how people get excited for indie metroidvania number 5720
I like metroidvania and a lot of indies pay homage to the great old games, like binding of isaac, shovel knight and hollow knight, they're great
