lmao

>>7227904
git gud

Take your ADHD pills and try sticking to a game for more than an hour. There's no way that in a week you put enough time into half the games you listed to even understand the controls, let alone appreciate them on any level. If you're only going to play the first 5 minutes of Chrono Trigger you might as well just spend the time jerking off instead.

>>7227904
>I tried Pac Man, Pong, Mr. Do, OoT, Thunderforce IV and V, FF IX, Crash bandicoot 2, Captain Commando, SoTN, Mega Man 2 & 3, Chase H.Q, Chrono Cross, Ninja Gaiden, Sonic Adventure, Daytona USA, Mario 64, and was so bored
>This week
No wonder, you just shot gun blasted through a bunch of meme famous games for 5 minutes a pop and gave up when something difficult or unclear came up. You'll never enjoy any of these games because your attention span is fried and you're looking for some instant dopamine button. Maybe retro video games really aren't for you. But if you're not just shit posting it would be better to pick a game you really want to play and just stick with it.

>>7227941
OP never said they are bad, just boring or maybe unexciting? which makes sense if he's played them years ago and better alternatives exist now
Not sure what he means

>>7227904
>hmmmm I hate playing vr....but am obsessed with the games
>lets play it anyway
>grr I really do hate it
>let us now complain together about these shitty games that we love that suck ass

how about no

>>7227904
you had a busy week

>>7227941
>fuck off and kys, one of the best games ever made
not really

>>7228427
If u don't speedrun you don't get it

>>7228434
m64 is one of the best games to speedtrans

>>7227904
how do you guys do it? This week I tried Last of Us 2, Uncharted 4, Breath of the Wild, Bloodborne, Red Dead Redemption 2, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, Splatoon, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Luigi's Mansion 3, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Gears 5, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Forza Horizon 4, Overwatch, and was so bored and felt like a waste of time thinking I could be playing my sick ass retro games (which I won't name here). But how do you do it? How did you force yourself to play this modern stuff long term?

>>7227904
>and was so bored and felt like a waste of time

That's where you're wrong, all video games are a waste of time, modern or retro.

>>7228434
Not him but
>speedrunning

>>7228507
This guy got banned from the speedrun scene for replicating /pol/ white supremacist talking points LMAO. Based goose

>>7228509
No, he got banned for cheating.

>>7227904
Early 3D games are jank save for a few. I recommend going to the 16 bit era, things are much prettier and most heavy hitter long games have save support.

I'd recommend the SNES and Genesis, choose what you like best, as 2D games were pretty much perfected there.

>>7227904
>mfw
You look pretty happy to me

>>7227904
Fortnite is a kino. Try dat bro.

https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/home

>>7227904
play the game for like 10 minutes, you either get into it or you don't, why force yourself to play a game you hate? nobody's going to be impressed or give a flying fuck

why would you force yourself to enjoy something you don't enjoy?
it's okay to be a zoom zoom

>forcing himself to play /vr/ games
>don't like them but still plays
>comments about it on /vr/ of all place
>retards trying to actually respond to him
Good bait. Well played op

>>7227904
by not being 12yo

>>7227941
lmao, Mario 64 is garbage

>>7227904
>Chrono Cross
don't worry, it's actually shit

>>7227904
why don't you stick to a game for more than 10 minutes you attention spanless zoomer

What are the chances that OP is a 20-year-old zoomer

>>7228804
lmao, pong is garbage

OP is right imo, time to move on and take the nostalgia diapers off

>>7227904
> I played fourty different games for five minutes each a didn’t enjoy any of them

Your attention span is the problem, not the games.

>>7227904
>How did you force yourself to play this retro stuff long term?
i grew up with it

>>7227904
>How did you force yourself to play this retro stuff long term?
Well for one, I didn't force myself to play the retro games I play. I enjoy playing retro games, so that's what I do. If you find yourself not enjoying playing retro games and are forcing yourself to play them, then they're not for you. Stop forcing yourself to do something you don't enjoy.

>>7229207
Pretty much this. I don't get how anyone with more than one braincell can listen to trap music all day, but I get that's just what kids get nowadays.
You're not different from anyone, OP.

>>7227904
(You) played all those in a week

>>7228804
Zoom zoom

>>7227904
Should probably go back to Fortnite zoomie.

retro is mostly for nostalgia and cope

>>7227904
Like what? There's no modern games that capture the same excitement of Ninja Gaiden. Hell, there's not even any 16 or 32bit games that do, other than the shitty SNES ports of the same game, of course.
I play new releases all the time, of course, but you absolutely cannot find platformers with the same quality as the classics, or else I wouldn't have to keep digging into the NES library for games to play.

>>7229350
>>7229350
>but you absolutely cannot find platformers with the same quality as the classics, or else I wouldn't have to keep digging into the NES library for games

>>7229362
Stop shitting up this board, faggot.

>>7227941
>too arcadey
yikes

>>7229376
>arcadey
means too short, not much thinking, just trial and error, with jank difficulty made to gacha your quarters not entertain or engage or give interesting challenge.

>>7227904
because I like legit like retro old games. Been playing roadwar 2000 the last few days going around and looting cities.
Sorry you cant do it anon and I wont give you shit for it but I just like old games. more content more things going on and they arent stuffed full of real life politics and sjw faggotry. Got a couple c64 rpgs on my list to play thru starting this week and it wont have tranny queers in it like cyberqueer 2077 and it wont try to force fag narrative on me and other disgusting shit that doesnt belong in video games.

plus old games werent made by diversity hires and "woke" lezdykes that hate men and anything sexual.
Old games also dont have fag romance shit in it hardly at all.
alot of old games also are just fun to play and cause me to use my imagination more than modern games.

>>7229430
now this is some funny cope ha!

>>7229362
every queer that saves and posts these is not only always a massive queer that loves nog dick but is always an underage and/or mentally underage shit poster thinking he's le funny le witty le humor man when all he does is look like a virginal geek that saves queer face pics to post after getting btfo in an arguement as a cope.

now fire back with more meme posting since thats what you low IQ underage and/or mentally underage queers do since talking in anything other than unfunny memes hurts your low IQ brain

>>7229438
>wants to play games without queer faggot shit in it
HURRR THIS IS DA COPE!
ok underage queer how is me not wanting faggot shit and political shit and sjw fag shit in my games cope? do explain with logic and reason. ultra hard mode cant meme post replies

>>7229438
buttbuster btfo. lol

>>7227941
Pong aged like shit?

I bet you fucking suck cocks at pong faggot.

What a crcrazcrazy thing to ask OP
Retro is old and old is as expected

>the quality of the board won't go down once the rules change!
>It'll be over in a week, bro!

>>7227904
>how do you guys do it?
By owning a CRT, not emulating, and having good taste

>>7229376
dont get me wrong, i love pacman, but having thing repeat level after level is not for everyone
>>7229656
>Pong aged like shit?
yes. sorry, gramps

>>7227904
>Didn't like Daytona USA or Ninja Gaiden
You deserve a horrible death.
>How did you force yourself to play this retro stuff long term?
The secret is to not force. Just play what you feel like playing and have fun.

>>7231321
>Fellow moderators of 4channel, /v/ is out of control and we can't moderate it because Hiro said it will harm the ad revenue, what do we do to solve this problem?

Yikes and cringe, yowza, yikesarooni

>>7229226
I never grew up with Rainbow Six, but I ended up loving the original games more than their newer counter-parts.

>>7227941
SoTN is not that good.

>>7231392
/vr/ has always been shit, it's just never been as active as /v/ to be as visibly awful.

>>7229362
>jannie deleted a wojack face
oof, hit too close to home??

>>7229413
>means too short, not much thinking, just trial and error, with jank difficulty made to gacha your quarters not entertain or engage or give interesting challenge.
this needs to be reiterated.

>>7227904
Try finding old games that are similar to what you like with modern games, what kind of games you like now?

>>7231740
its not the GOAT game some claim it is, but its still very, very good.

>>7227904
Man, Chase HQ is a fucking classic... No fun with that at all?

>>7231321
if you regular /v/. this board is perfect, all you have to do is ignore the few /v/ait posters, that was /v/'s downfall. don't respond to it, if someone does, it's samefagging to lure more people.

This is a bait thread

>>7231941
if there wasn't anything better to play it would be ok

retro games are fun side games, pump n' dump in between your regular stuff. Pretty fun throw away type games you can casually enjoy for a credit now and then

>>7229413
Holy fucming zoom.

>>7231752
Stop gaslighting.

>>7231815
Any board that cares about quality shouldn't tolerate wojaks or frogs.

Ah, so this is the power of nu/vr/, full of unironic faggots who don't even like retro video games in the same way /v/ doesn't like video games. Now I understand why allowing 6th gen was a mistake.

>>7232235
I think we like retro games appropriately, take off the nostalgia goggles and see they are a bit o' quick pump n' dump fun

>>7227904
all those games you listed suck ass. play some sim city 4 my nigga.

>>7232258
>sim city games
I sleep

>>7227904
>But how do you do it? How did you force yourself to play this retro stuff long term?
Zoomers don't enjoy real game. All they care is to see pretty gay colors in the screen moving in the highest resolution possible. This is how they have been raised to praise visuals more than gameplay. Their poor mind can't see beyond visuals. If they did they would realize that gameplay have decline to give place to better visuals to satisfy them. Just look at openworld zoomer games like Cyberpunk and compare to GTA San Andreas and Vice City that came ages before.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3Nvx8zhq2A

>>7232327
this but replace Zoomers with Boomers

I think the opposite. How can people suffer through modern games when they're slow, require updates and have terrible writing/story that the devs want you to suffer through?

Just came back from a vacation where I took my Switch and I spent most of my time playing Sonic Mania. I had to quit Oninaki and Deadly Premonition because the writing was so terrible - even the Puyo Puyo Tetris game has an adventure mode with terrible dialogue. It's crazy. Just get to the level.

On the plus side, I am enjoying Cyberpunk immensely. But yeah, I can jump into one of my 8-bit or 16-bit games and have a decent time.

>>7227904
You won't name your "sick ass modern games" because you play a cuckold simulator all day called your life, faggot.

>>7232379
I'll do that when I post that on /v/

>>7227904
I think that everyone likes games diferently. I like old games, but not because they are old. Playing games just cuz theyre old/just cuz theyre new is pretty stupid. If a game is good, it should be good no matter when you play it

>>7232464
>If a game is good, it should be good no matter when you play it
problem is better alternatives are being made so old games can't keep up

>>7232595
>better alternatives
All they do is clone the same gameplay and add better graphics

>>7232616
If that. most of the time, they just half-ass an unfinished game, and fill it with microtransactions, and always-on DRM

>>7232616
They make the gameplay a lot worse usually, but it's true modern games don't innovate in gameplay at all.

>>7232635
In fact, most of the time, its worse than the older one "in order to appeal to a wider audience"

>>7227904
>ass

>>7232595
>problem is better alternatives are being made so old games can't keep up
not only this but they have thriving communities, people to play with online co-op, player against player, actual leaderboards people compete in not dead ass fuck fake leaderboards you force people to populate lmao

>>7227904
>forcing
That’s exactly it. No one enjoys the actual good games anymore, because they are trying to force experiences that could only be had back in the 80s and 90s - by children.

>>7232770
this cut me DEEP

>>7227941
fuck up nintendork

that shits just a fucking crutch. if you need all that shit outside of the game itself to enjoy it, its a piece of fucking shit game. Who the fuck needs a community for a Mega Man game accept for faggot try-hard speedrunners

>try to convince myself that nobody can actually like pre-6th gen games
>all my hipster friends who are my age (19) pretend to like shit like NES and Genesis
why

>>7233076
>Who the fuck needs a community for a Mega Man game accept
>accept
it's EXCEPT not accept

>>7233092
hipsters will get shitty tattoos for the same reason they force themselves to play /vr/

>>7227926
Fighting games were mostly ASS until the very late 90's

Why did the janny delete that post about /nuvr/ being a bunch of kids who do not even like old games since 6th gen was allowed? This thread is a shining example of why 6th gen should be banned.

>>7233137
do you play retro in between your crying sessions?

>>7233137
The new jan/mods are kids themselves.

>>7227904
Tell me more about these ass games of yore.

>>7231752
When will 4chan stop pretending that if something is bad, it has always been equally bad and didn't get worse?

>>7227904
Only kids describe things as "sick ass" so opinion discarded

>>7232707
Oh yeah those leader boards are amazing, with everyone in the top 50 only there because they have cheated. Really appeals to me that, either needing to cheat to get on the leader board or if its not overrun by cheaters, having to constantly play the game to keep your position. Sounds like great fun lmao

>>7233542
cope is deep here

>>7233542
how do you cheat to get highest rank in Tekken 7, SC2 and Hearthstone? share tips

>>7233568
Is cope the first thing that comes to your mind when something begins to challenge your tiny brain? Do you scream "cope" when your girlfriend starts to cheat on you?

>>7233092
It just means your friends are superior to you

it's something we all go through
replaying shitty games

>>7233683
would explain why they have a gf and I don't. but still fuck retro (ancient) games from before gen 6.

>>7234135
Lol please go back to /v/ if you hate 5/6ths of this boards content

>>7227904
You're a victim of your generation. You shortened attention span simply isn't capable of enjoying anything that doesn't provide instant gratification every 5 seconds. Go play some COD, might be more your speed.

>>7233581
Hax and trainerz

>>7233581
If you read my post properly then you basically play the games constantly 24/7 to keep your rank up

>>7233568
How is this coping? Did you pick that term at random from your list of cool Internet buzz words? Anon has just explained why they don't like leaderboards and don't see the benefit of them. I agree, unless your autistic or have no life then I can't see the appeal

>>7229430
>they arent stuffed full of real life politics and sjw faggotry.
this is how you know someone underaged posted this. shut the fuck up and grow some balls faggot, just because you didnt see it then doesnt mean it wasnt there. imagine being so fragile you make a point to kick and whine about politics in video games anyway

You just don't like video games, OP

OP makes a fair point something we retro boomers need to come to terms with in our daily COPES

I would rather play mr do than cyberpunk. Also I’m older now I don’t miss wasting my life addicted to modern games that make you play for 5-7 hours a day. That helped me miss out on getting a gf or pussy in general. Don’t waste your life zoomers improve it.

>>7232228
>>7233454
Yes, it was, quit lying to yourselves. You had the faggot autistics that were autistically autistic about what was considered retro that had an implosion after the rule change, you had people bait posting about beloved retro games non-stop in order to gain any traction in their threads, you had resellers starting threads and rabidly defending and textually assaulting anyone who criticized them, you had people getting into virtual fist-fights over which port was best...The whole site is a shit show that rarely ever has a thread anywhere not devolve into petty bickering and degenerate name-calling.

>>7234309
t. OP, and a zoomer tumor

>>7234309
well JRPGs still hold up fairly well , but everything else specially brain_dead arcade platformers and shooters are super boring

>>7233092
>try to convince myself that nobody can actually like pre-6th gen games

Why would you try to convince yourself of that? What do you get out of it other than being contrarian?

>>7234287
>how how is this c-cope? how???
it just is
cope (you)

>>7234309
100% agreed

Anyone ever notice how when you criticize a zoomers opinion on something, rather than try to counter your opinion, they revert to a primal "meme defense mechanism" and begin spewing cope, seethe, dilate, or just generally some sort of template meme from /v/? These new posters don't actually say anything, their minds are just completely warped by the internet. It's fucked.

>>7234681
>anyone ever notice how
stopped reading, please refer to pic related.

>>7232869
man April was so hot back in the day, even on the NES game all pixelated

>>7232595
>problem is better alternatives are being made so old games can't keep up

Better alternatives stopped being made around 2009-2011. Since then we've only been getting low-grade movie-games. I have yet to see a better alternative to Tomb Raider or Turok or Sonic come up.

>>7234694
You are a living meme.

>>7234290
t. some rabid hgh homo who've never played a game in his life without the intention of writing some shill ameripolitical article to market his failed website.

>>7227904
Well, you have to like the games your playing. Not every game is for every person.

>>7232595
>problem is better alternatives are being made so old games can't keep up

People use this excuse all the time for modern movies, but anyone who's actually seen an old movie knows that it's just an argument to justify your own biases. Cape Fear 1962 and Cape Fear 1991 are different movies, just like X-Com 1994 and XCOM 2012 are different games. They both lack features from the other.

A remake or sequel that's trying to reproduce and improve upon the original is rarely better than the original, movie wise or game wise.

It's just how things are, and how things always will be.

>>7234681
Zoomers are afraid to be genuine, fearing they'll get memed on or seem "cringe".

>>7234706
>You are a living meme.

>pong aged like shit
it's two lines and a dot, and plays identically to ping pong, this has to be bait.

>>7227904
If you tried that many games in a week then you probably haven't played more than like an hour of each. I'll bet you're the same nigger who happily scoops shit every day just to come home and suck off ea by buying all of the season passes, subscriptions, loot boxes, dlcs and coin packs.

>>7236827
most of those games are really short, an hour long besides the rpgs. So that's more than enough time to know if you like them
