/vr/ - Retro Games

No such thing as manly tears while playing video games. Only pussies cry over video games. You are crying bitch tears.

neo-/vr/ pls go

Discovering a plethora of great videogames that I had not had the opportunity to experience growing up. I had no idea I was missing so much, and seeing so many friendly gamers here to help me get involved was the most touching thing. Nevar change, /vr/.

When I first beat Final Fantasy. It was a hard and long battle, but in the end I won.

Final farewells in Planescape: Torment.
Only retro game I remember where I got a little misty eyed.

Zen, Ninja gaiden, battletoads and dozens of other games like to do that.

I never was good at side scrolling fighter games.

There was this Blades of Exile (a little indie game which was basically a gigantic RPG scenario editor) scenario called Falling Stars.

I won't bore and/or spoil the plot for anyone, but on a very general level, your country is at war, and you're losing, and your high command comes up with this RIDICULOUS longshot plan to knock out a kind of major magical support center right as the enemy gears up for the final offensive.

It's one of these things that as he's laying it out to you, you're thinking, Oh god, this will never work. Still, orders are orders, and you're kind of railroaded into making the do or die attempt.

And as you stumble through obstacle after obstacle, you're always waiting for the other shoe to drop. It doesn't. You kill the lich, the undead garrison falls apart, and it looks like all the dominoes fall right into place.

And then it all goes wrong, the entire BASIS for the plan was flawed from the start, and there actually are tiny little foreshadowed hints that were nagging at me earlier, but I didn't put them together in time (the game has a way of sucking you up and putting you in a frenzied state)

You lose the war right then and there, the badguy offensive tears right through your capital. I raged, I cried, I was despondant for over an hour. Alcritas really sucks you in.

Anon, you were playing the game right. When the war is over and you lose, does that mean that you lost the game, or just completed it to reveal an unhappy ending?

>Beating the fucking YELLOW DEVIL
>Beating Dr. Wily without cheating

>crying over video games
>manly

choose one.

I am pretty sure he means figuratively, or tears of joy.

Either that, or hes talking about frustration with a game while you are a child.

When my red square gets devoured by the purple blobs in centipede 2600. like dis if u cry evry tim

No,it feeds into the next scenario in the series, you don't lose the game, but you can't win the war.

(The next scenario scrolls away a few months and you're part of this basically guerrilla resistance that's formed, with a lot of the leaders being big NPCs that escaped)

Chrono Trigger gave me nostalgia tears last time I played during multiple occasions.

The ending of Klonoa.
