Can't think of any at the moment, but thanks for reminding me I need to finish YKK.

>>7278393
It’s a goodun.
>>7278398
I agree, but I’ve played them a ton. Still adore Umihara Kawase though.
Fresh was a bit disappointing but the rest are the perfect amount of challenging and comfy.

>>7278375
what's the second-fifth generation of vidya?

>>7278452
Basically, anything from Atari up to PS1 era.

>>7278462
Umihara Kawase is retro

>>7278375
Silent hill 2

>>7278375
I never lost my love for it. But there are still old games I keep playing or going back to.

Windjammers is pure ludoporn.

>>7279197
Looks really neat. It also looks like it got an updated vita release

>sort of rekindled your love for vidya
I love discovering and playing classics that I never had a chance to when I was growing up. Within the last couple years I've been able to play Startropics, Ristar, Link's Awakening, and Silent Hill. Playing those for the first time gave me that feeling I got back when I was a kid.

First Dragon Quest. It is so simple and straightforward, yet it is such an adventure. Just going around exploring, it is unburdened by some shitty edgy story and needless time sink bullshit mini games/systems modern games are fond of. It made me feel like a kid with a video game again, a feeling which I thought I lost being jaded asshole for so long.

How’s the new one comparatively?

>>7280872
If you have played one DQ you played them all. They never really change except in presentation

>>7278375
Looks comfy, what game is it?

>>7280954
Its an animu ova. Yokohama kaidashi kikou . Its actually pretty comfy despite the fact it takes place on the post apocalypse.

>>7280979
Thanks, I'm always in for some comfy 90s OVA animu.

>>7279769
Play old vidya in general tends to wash away the rust new vidya leaves you with. It reminds you that games still can be amazing, even if it’s only in the retroactive sense most of the time.

>>7278375
This one. It reminded me that there are games out there that I will still fall in love with despite growing old and jaded.

>>7278375
I think people saying "vidya" destroyed my love for vidya

>>7278375
Chrono Trigger is making me love jarpigs again.

>>7283115
It's a toxic relationship anon, learn self-respect and get outta there

Playing old fighting games via figthcade has done this for me. I wouldn't say that I was falling out of video games but in general I was feeling less desire or motivation to try new things and just kept going back to stuff I played a million times already. I got into fighting games though rather recently and playing these older titles online with people has been a ton of fun, I play daily even and can find myself playing a set for like an hour or two when before I would maybe play a single player game for like 30 min at best.

>>7283117
What should I play instead? Games where all you do is hold down a button to fire and avoid projectiles? Sounds like fun.

>>7283117
The only toxic relationship here is the one you have with your homely wife and her black boyfriend.

>>7283528
Most shooters take more effort and thought to play than CT so yeah. I recommend Gunstar Heroes.

That and Death Stranding are my go to comfy games... which is probably the opposite of what SH2 was supposed to be. There’s just something so damn relaxing about it.

>>7283356
>Pinball Actions
Explain this

>>7285434
Same here. The first Silent Hill spooked me but the second was was super relaxing. I think the second one made the atmosphere more deppresing than tense so its just moody and oddly calm and comfortable.

>>7281909
Its good to be able to go back and cherrypick. Not every game was gold back then but we can retroactively select the very best. I personally also like going to the simoler origins, is a good reality check to kinda assimilate the time passed and all that was inbetween then and now.

>>7278375
Ocarina of Time never fails to make me happy. No matter how many times I play it I always find myself not only truly engrossed in its lovely world but also highly engaged with its classic gameplay. It is timeless fun. It brings me back to those feelings I had as a child exploring the world while also playing on my adult sensibilities with interesting narrative themes. It's quite exemplary that the game is able to make me experience this child/adult dynamic outside of the game as well as inside of it as an actual game mechanic.

>>7285440
meant Pinball Action

>>7281027
The manga it's based on is really good as well, I highly recommend it. It's a classic for a reason.

>>7278375

No. I'm forty. Why would I have my interest in this medium REkindled by Mario 3 or whatever? I had my interest kindled by that stuff to begin with. And also there's the fact that it never died away.
