i wish i could sleep here

>>9226339
Wait, where is that?

>>9226347
it's in the east side of the sewers, you need the ultra boots to be able to reach it though

>>9226326
Based!

>>9226350
I don't particularly remember that spot. I want to play TTYD again, but every time I load it up I realize that I remember almost everything about the story, even though I only played it once and I was definitely drunk the whole time. Maybe I should do some sort of badge challenge run.

little tiny character sprites, giant dinosaurs, comfy as fuck

>>9226365
more specifically it's where you fight the blooper
i don't think you ever have to go back that way though so i see why you'd miss it

>>9226319
Treasure trove (Beach stage) from banjo kazooie

Just at that point in the evening where the lanterns turn on and the sky is a deep rich blue... My soul is truly at peace.

>>9226450
similar here. enjoy the kino brother

>>9226319
For me, it's the cemetery in medievil. I wish skeletons were real.

>>9226339
Literally sleep in a shed with a bunch of boxes.

>>9227112
You have one though.

What game

>>9227317
Better quality

>>9227313
Did you find your mother?

>>9227112
>I wish skeletons were real
good news, anon

>>9226319
Looks like Morrowind to me.

i miss the old days

>>9228463
that big green thing in the middle reminds of the early 3d sonic games

>>9226346
the old loch modan was peak comfy

Comfiest game I've ever played.

>>9228796
What game?

>>9226319
Love purple skies in any game.

>>9226450
this is maybe the most comfy area in a video game ever

>>9228985
FF11
You can still play it but it's not very fun to actually play nowadays. Neat game to explore though. But a lot of hoops to jump through.

Water ruin- jet force gemini

>>9228501
it's from Sonic Adventure

>>9226450
Jak & Daxter was so good.

>>9226349
Portent?

>>9227265
Col/XD are the only good pokeman games

>>9229862
digimon 1

>>9226356
I could never sleep comfortably on a small island floating in the sky. I get vertigo just thinking about it.

>>9226319
Played thousands of hours on this map in Custom Edition. Now we play it in MCC customs. I will never be bored of this map.

>>9226326
>"got ring"

who thought that was a good idea

>>9226331
I always fucking loved the courtyard part of the Forest Temple, shit looks fucking nice, especially seeing the sky from within a dungeon.
Ignore the HUD stuff, was playing the PC port.

>>9232181

>>9226319
Yeto's kitchen, take me back....

>>9226356
Always reminded me of Roger Dean's Close to the Edge artwork.

>>9226341
I always played Mid, but /salute

So many fond memories.

Absolutely adore the aquatica track from NFS III - it truly captures the essence of what the series the series is about (cars you can't afford driving through locations that basically only exist in film).

Stardust Speedway is beautiful

>>9232584

>>9232584
Beautiful? Seriously? How much dick do you suck on a regular basis?

>>9226339
>bitch, you live like this?

>>9232501
Great track. Are the menus as annoying in High Stakes?

>>9232795
Depends which version you play if you are talking actual usability.

>>9232803
The interface must make more sense on PC but it's funny to have a slow elaborate ui on an arcade racer. It's a bit annoying when you have to manually load a file (often hidden in the settings) on a racer as well.

>>9232862
woah, it's like resident evil but you are the zombie?!

>>9232585
I love this.

>>9228504
All of WoW 2004 was just comfy, nice vibe. Classic didn't have the same feel. I played for two months, but the meta destroyed the community feel that 2004 had.

>>9230473
I went to Sega World in Darling Harbor 3 times. Jealous? It was great.

>>9233625
I played wow for the first time with classic and I got that
>just comfy, nice vibe
you can't recapture your first impression

>>9226319
>Favorite retro vidya areas
I read it as 'favorite retro vidya asses'
/v/ has broken me :(

>>9230469
It’s a genuinely perfect arena.

>>9232181
>>9232191
What game are these from?

so comfy under the bridge

>>9233651
Same. I actually feel nostalgic this time of year because of it. It’s no surprise so many people became Blizzdrones after playing that shit— the game is fucking marvelous.

>>9226368
I loved those big doofy dinos so much

>>9226569
Honestly, I never found this part comfy at all, it was actually quite uncomfortable. Especially at the end when all the scientists left and they just left the machine on auto pilot while you had to hold off soldiers.

One fuck up and Barney is dead and even though I knew that was impossible due to HL2 I still wondered if something was going to happen to him here and he'd have to keep searching for a way out of Black Mesa by himself.

>>9233746
Well for me it's not about the events of the game but the overall context of the location: A -relatively- small underground lab underneath a post office/freight train station.

>>9233771
Ah, in that case I can see it. Kinda like how locations in Resident Evil/Silent Hill are comfy but not in context of the game.

>>9233689
This, the Kakariko tavern, and flute boys clearing are all max comfy areas. Also the fairy fountains, especially the one next to Links house.

FFMQ - Fireburg. Dat music. Pure nostalgia

>>9233862
Also (samefagging) pic related for more GOAT music.

>>9226362
hhnnnngggg right in the nostalgia feels. The hours my sister and I spent making angel & devil chao, respectively (and threatening each other with "I'll say goodbye to your chao!" every time we fought lol).

>>9226331
>EH REH

>>9233862
its amazing seeing images like this of the entire picture of the full town that you never actually see in game. as a kid it felt so much bigger but as you can see its just 4 of basically the same building .

>>9229121
Egyptian levels are kino.

>>9233689
LttP was the true birth of comfy town RP

I remember after I beat the game as a kid I made a 2nd save file called "Home" where I got all the Pendants minus the last one just so I could get as many items ask I could without getting the Master Sword and ruining the comfy fog of the lost forest north of the town.

The guy under the bridge was my best friend just chilling, the witch was my grandma that I would visit once and awhile and I worked at the blacksmith using my sword to "poke" at the smelting process he was hammering at

>>9233862
I love towns that have neon signs glowing and flickering (specially at night), do we have any other examples of that in retro rpgs or adventure games?

>>9234000
Saga Frontier and FF7 come to mind.

>>9226354
is that.. Ringworld? There's a game of that?

>>9234102
>Saga Frontier
Oh wow Thank you!

>>9234000

>>9234125
Also looks interesting, thanks anon

>>9234158
it's a reference to Landstalker, their previous game

>>9234000
>>9234102
yeah ff7 has a lot of this

>>9234191
The neo glow and Tifa's tits are exactly why it was a success. None of that PS1 fancy RPG mumbo jumbo

>>9233915
I feel the same way, anon. Even today I love seeing huge maps of sprite based vidya worlds because it's just so cool to see the entire thing. I had a Pokémon Gold guidebook back in the day and loved how they had the map in the book, even if it was just routes seeing the whole thing was mind blowing to me.

I remember playing Link's Awakening as a kid and my version wouldn't save after you turned it off (you could hear the battery rattle around in the cartridge when you shook it) so I would try my hardest to get as far as possible but never knew what to do after the 2nd dungeon. Sometimes when starting again I would go to the library and just stare at the map the game had and just wonder what each location might have in it.

And now I can google it and attach the whole thing to my post and stare at it for as long as I want. A few years ago I actually calculated how much of the map I saw as a kid and I was surprised to learn I saw around 70% of it but it always felt like I barely saw any of it.

Gothic 1 was responsible for much of the growth in my testosterone production

>>9234000
The hub city from Phantasy Star Online

https://youtu.be/lE6JoFg0G4M

>>9228997
Hell yeah

>>9233682
>>9226319
What games?

>>9230469
I might of been to drunk at the time and thought I saw it happen; But Could you link 4 Xboxes together and get 16 players together??

All I remember from that night that my fat friends girlfriend needed a raincoat to sleep in the same bed as him because he was sweating that much.

>>9235292
it's nice to see this area when it's not being squashed by the splitscreen effect

>>9227031
AoE2 has some incredible tactile quality to it, like you can really feel the materials and the textures, and combined with the OST it makes for one of the most amazing game experiences ever.

Anyone know games with aesthetics and locations like Wonder Project J2? That ocean vibe combined with a relatively modern tech yet still somehow subtly fantasy feel.

>>9235424
skies of arcadia?

>>9235258
Hell yeah bro. That shit was nuts. My friends and I could only get 3v3 going on two boxes regularly, but you could totally do 16.

>>9235542
You can tell they made the game in under a year.

>>9226358
Which game is this?

>>9235749
tenchu

>>9235219
the snowy area is from Perfect Dark emulated at 60fps. I dont know what's the source from OP.

i think i gotta replay. not 3 tho

>>9235542
Game?

>>9235885
Doesn't one have to sexually identify as german to truly appreciate gothic?

>>9226319

>>9236092
Timesplitters 1

>>9230995
This! Man i wish they would have finished the 3d remake

>>9229081
>>9228796
If they sucked it up and just packaged a single player version I'd buy it and play it again. The story is one of my favorites for JRPGs hands down. Legit sad that so many players still don't know the feel of running through Jugner or Valkrum. Or the first time you fly to Yuhtunga and actually flying there. Or the music starting as you zone in Xarcabard.

>>9233846
idk the tavern's kinda melancholic, what with the drunk guy mourning his son

>>9235648
Sounds kino

>>9236758
I've finished up to the end of Chains of Promathia and the story itself never really blew me away, but the writing is good quality and a lot of the characters are great.

For me it's the atmosphere, even compared to singleplayer games I think it has one of the strongest, comfiest atmospheres of any game ever made. Whenever I go back to it now I just get sad that the golden age of MMOs and the internet in general is over.

The outdoor walkway that serves as a mid point in Grout's Mansion (VtMB). It's such a peaceful and comfy break from the creepy mansion.

>>9236127
the english voice acting is so bad its no wonder only us germans liked it

>>9234108
i know it's bait but its still hard to not take it

>>9233682
That mission was so weird and all over the place. Absolutely loved it. It's incredible how the levels in PD expand at higher difficulties, this one is a prime example. Feels great dashing around in this on the hoverbike.

>>9233689
I always just wanted to chill with this guy. Look at him, living the life. Doesn't the music even turn quieter at this spot? The very fact that you could go "under" the bridge blew my mind when I was a kid. And then you found this, a haven of comfy.
Right beneath the centre of power in Hyrule, there is this guy, free, living his life according to nobody's law but his own. And then he hands you a bottle. What a champ.
>inb4 Dude that's just a hobo throwing a bottle at you lmao.
No, thank you.

>>9234000
Blade Runner of course

>>9236650
Very comfy music.

Melee's All-Star rest area is so comfy

the ranch

>>9228796
>>9236758
>>9237089
I picked it up on sale recently.
If I only care about the story which class should I pick?

>>9239182
I usually hear THF recommended. I went with that and subbed DNC for Spectral Jig for the sneak + silent and it worked pretty well.

>>9228498
ask me how i know you are german

>>9239382
Game?

>>9239389
wizards and warriors

>>9239395
Oh that's the Bradley game?
Cool, looks like i'll have to play it sometime.

>>9235181
You read my mind. This whole game was comfy.

>>9228796
i still play FFXI daily, on Valhalla server. It has TRUSTs

Nice

>>9236650
Cosy

absolutely cozy
