I was 12 in 2003. I'm 31 now.

>>9119378
People born in the mid 90s are in their late 20s now, anon.

>>9119378
anon, I was 9 in 2003, though I think i played wind waker when I was 12,

>>9119371
I'm 30 now anon.

>>9119384
19 year olds are still kids.

>>9119393
They didn't play WW when they were 0, dummy.

>>9119369
I can't imagine trying to play this as a kid. I'd probably just start crying.

>>9119341
I was gaming happily up until I tried out this demo disc that came with MGS...

>>9119660
still looks nasty

>>9119341
>>9119341
Even on replays I somehow still manage to fuck this up repeatedly. People who say windwaker is baby easy confuse it's difficulty for it's aesthetic!!!

https://youtu.be/9doT02nWzSM
I would run turn the volume down all the way and hide my eyes. Whoever thought this was okay for a kids game has some problems

>>9119341
Ever since I played this game as a toddler I've been afraid of double doors, trapdoors and wood floors.

Can't remember anything particularly traumatic, but I guess I really hated chocking hands in Blood, especially before learning that you can, in fact, throw them off.
Played it when I was around 4-5 years old btw.
Unironically great parenting.

>>9119341
Jesus Christ this awful thing.

>>9120015
what the fuck

OP here, the trauma can be from difficulty or scariness, btw.

>>9119341
still wanna find the fuck that said "yeah, make this a chase sequence with a rear facing camera with a bunch of tight web zips with the abomination screaming in garbled speech saying that he'll kill you. The kids will love it."

>>9119594

I was 6 and wasn't used to hearing voices in games so hearing that part over the already-frightening music kept me up at night for a couple days.

hits like a truck and you can only hit him some of him at a time

>>9119341
Wind Waker was so bad it made me stop being a Zelda fan, so I guess it is a traumatic game in some sense of the term.

>>9121493
Super fucked

Had trouble with those triforce shards, huh?

I just couldnt beat him

Watched my Dad play Alone in the Dark when I was like, 6. This creature gave me nightmares for months.

the whole story was building up to non-symbiotes being corrupted by it

>>9122138
Yeah, it really made everything that came after seem worse by comparison.

>>9122205
It’s gotta be up there with the guy I saw on here calling someone else “birthday boy” at the end of an argument a little while ago.

Anon, I..

I can hear this fucking image you complete cunt

>>9121190
Classic

>>9122069
They laugh at your pathetic fears.

I played a demo of blood when I was 7. Game itself was scary but what made it more traumatizing was the ad it showed to buy the full game at the end of the demo. I cant find a picture of it anywhere but it was a very realistic looking axe zombie

Why do zoomers pretend to be scared of Mario and Zelda games?

>>9124479
Why are you obsessed with this topic?

>>9124191
>ayo where da white fairies at

>>9124479
better than being afraid of a winter cold snap old man

It's amazing how to this day, this sound byte can unlock such deep rage in me.

>>9119392
>>9121417
I'm 30 also but by the time the Gamecube was in its last days and Wii was out I was a teenager. I'd consider the fifth gen and fourth/fifth drippings more of my childhood, by sixth gen I was reading reviews for games and watching more "Adult" media and generally not acting like a kid anymore. When people say Childhood I think 3-11, not 12-17.

My older brother knew I was absolutely terrified of zombies, so he insisted I be in the room whenever he played RE3. Brad getting an improvised tonsillectomy from Nemesis terrified me.

>>9125735
>people can’t have nostalgia for things from their teenage years

Bad take, anon

>>9126114
I mean, are you getting trauma from a video game at 16? Really?
Unless you're getting dicked down by your stepdad while you're playing Pac Man World I fucking doubt it.

>>9126118
You can experience trauma at any stage in your life

Video games, less likely for teenagers, but still possible I guess. By “trauma” I assumed OP meant things that freaked you out or made you uncomfortable.

I’m almost 30 but the giant squids and the weird tree on pawprint isle from wind waker freaked me out when I played it as a kid. Looking back, I can still remember those feelings.

troll move on the part of core design for starting a level like this

>>9126126
Uncalloused hands typed this post.

>>9122213
Sauce? Source now gives nothing

I’m wracking my brain and can’t really think of anything scary enough to really call traumatic. I didn’t really have free reign to play M-rated games until I was around 13 so I think I missed most of the opportunities for genuine trauma.
Closest thing I can think of it when I begged my parents to let me try their copy of RE4 when I was around nine. The music and all the Spanish I couldn’t understand was too freaky and stressful for me to deal with at the time. I didn’t actually play RE4 until like last year.

honestly i thought by trauma op meant somethin really hard in a game (well at least as a kid), not something actually traumatic

>>9126164

There is something very unsettling about this game.

>>9126198
He did, anon is just being a nitpicky fuck. It was even specified here >>9120331

I guess most here are in their late 20s/ early 30s? We're getting old bros.

>>9126198
>>9126203
Oh well shit, my bad. Sorry, anon.
Can't say I ever really got too worked up by intensely difficult games either. I mostly played JRPGs, CRPGs and FPS games growing up.
>>9126226
27 is uh actually still pretty young man I have like two thirds of my life left. Yeah

>>9121417
Wii came out in 2006 so you'd be a high schooler then nigga. 14/15 isn't exactly childhood.

>>9122068
>11
You delayed or something?

>>9126114
He didn't say that, you just conflate adolescence with actual childhood.

>>9121418
This nigga knows what's up.

>>9126341
NTA but I was 2 when the Wii came out O_o

>>9119393
You are a faggot.

>>9119341
how is this traumatizing at all
i say that as a person who got filtered and stuck here for 2 hours and said "i'll get back to it later when i'm less frustrated" and just never played the game again (its been about 20 years)

>>9119369
getting put back to 6-1 got me to master this shit and now i can beat it with no hit in like 30 min.

>>9120015
brutal lmao

Then it sounds like you were traumatized

>>9119594
Yep, there it is.

>>9121780
How do you feel about this boss coming back to it on replays where you know the quick kill trick? You do know the quick kill trick, right?

>>9128028
I do not

>>9128182
You can hit it with an egg before the cutscene plays. I think you need to hit the wall and let the egg bounce off that, but maybe there are multiple ways to do it. Don't remember exactly.
That mage fag will screetch about it too. It's funny the first time you do it but I actually like the boss fight so I usually do it regularly.

>>9128209
What does the egg smell like

>>9124512
I love that their reaction to Abe attempting to escape is to immediately set people to painting an anti-escape billboard in this random area, yet despite that confidence that he'll escape from exactly this spot they don't quadruple the guard count.
It did make me feel bad as a kid, because they design the area well. Unless you are already skilled at the game (i.e. not your first playthrough), you are only going to rescue like half of the workers, so they guilt trip you right from the start. Not enough games make the player feel guilty for playing naturally (yes, I know about Spec Ops).

This whole game. Why was it so fucking hard?

>>9126132
What is this even supposed to mean

>>9128723
He means you've never done an honest days work in your life

>>9128820
That’s a strange thing to assume about someone based on their experiences with a video game.

what's it like thinking that your best years are your adolescent years?

>be me, 4th or 5th grade
>have 90-100 or so nes games I had received as hand me downs from multiple cousins
>start seeing ads for kirby 64
>convinced I don’t need my nes games anymore
>sell all of them with the exception of Zelda for like $80 at a rummage sale to some older nerds, never see them again
>go to toys r us, buy kirby 64 and sonic r/ sonic and knuckles/sonic cd pc pack

Admittedly kirby 64 is a great game but I still cringe had at this, good story about that Zelda cartridge too

>few years later, summer of 6th grade, borrowing Zelda to friend since I have no nes
>a week later he told me he sold it
>couple months go by, he flashes his dick at me, I never talk to him again, end up bullying the fuck out of him in highschool
>after we graduate (2010) decide to fb creep
>see him posting about a rummage sale he’s having that weekend
>picture, see some nes games, it’s the same fucking nes Zelda game, there’s a crack in it so I knew it was the same copy
>pay a friend $20 to message him ahead of time and ask if he can scoop that before the rummage, he sells it to my friend for $5


I still have it, it’s passed hands around my friend group since then a few times but I have it now and am never letting it go at this point, a hand me down from my cousin when I was 3, pic rel

>>9132417
Yes, I realize this isn’t exactly what this thread is about but trading all your nes games for Kirby 64 and metal sonic is pretty fuckin traumatic

Puberty delayed for you?

I used to be so scared of these things when I was 5. I couldn't stand the noises, the howling they made when they attacked so I would always get my mum and Dad to play the crypt levels for me instead haha.

Still creep me out today.

>>9126132
Sure thing, everyone likes to larp as the tough guy when it suits them. What most people forget is that all it takes to kill anyone instantly is a random stray bullet to just hit you in the wrong place, you don't even have to be a target of anything.
Now you think you're prepared for anything, but you will come to this realization if you ever find yourself in the heat of a battlefield with bullets flying all around and anything could be rigged to kill you like the pathetic government pawn you are, then you won't be so brave.
Even if and manage to survive you will remember all the people you killed and the people you could have saved, you will remember your cowardice and arrogance, and you will know that you are a pathetic and limited being regardless of how tough you are or will ever get, and you will live in pain for the rest of your miserable life.

Drop the act, it'll pad the impact of the great fall we call life.

This, or the last level of Turtles 1 on the Nes.

No. 12 to 18 is adolescence. Even then, some countries have 15-17 for adulthood. Some have 19-21. 18 isn't completely universal.

>>9132374
Legal childhood isn't the same as actual childhood you actual retard. Grow up.

>>9132374
So if a 10 year old were somehow emancipated and goes to college, he is magically an adult? This is the ultimate extension of your paltry logic.

I came home one day to find that my brother had sold our NES, PS1, PS2, Gamecube, Xbox, and Xbox 360 - with all games, memory cards, and controllers - to one of his drug dealers as a way to get quick cash.
Been purely a PC gamer ever since. Thanks, bro.

>>9133896
Also, age of (automatic) emancipation is 21 in some states. US immigration policy considers under 21 a child. The age of majority in some places historically was as high as 30. Maybe taking the law literally as a place to draw the line between childhood and non-childhood is actually absurd and retarded. Childhood is traditionally considered to end with the onset of puberty, and adolescence often continues past legal adulthood and into your late twenties/early thirties.

Maybe 15 year old you was still soiling his sheets from playing the Wind Waker, the rest were busy with high school life or working their first jobs.
