ITT: stupid shit from the -00 generation

i was talking to my cousin (who was born in 2000 and who i shall henceforth call M) earlier today and he mentioned he likes RTS games

>me: Have you played Command and Conquer?
>M: No, who made it?
>me: Westwood. One of the greatest game developers of all time
>M: They can't have made very good games then, since they aren't around anymore.
>mfw

I swear, this is the closest I've come to strangling someone in a fit of pure red-hot rage.

Good goy. If it isn't funded by a multi-billion dollar publisher it's not worth any of your time.

You didn't for a second think to maybe explain it as "It's one of the predecessors to Red Alert 3" or maybe "Westwood, an old company that later became a part of EA"?

You know, things he might have actually heard of, being 13 and all?

I was born in 89, love RTS games and didn't know Westwood made C&C. Honestly never liked that series, and can't think of any other Westwood works worth mentioning. Did they make Lion King for Virgin? If so, that's the only thing they churned out that I enjoyed.

I say there's no need to rage over someone else's opinion. If your cousin thinks a company sucks because they went out of business, just accept the fact that his views are different from yours and move on. Of course, that's just my suggestion. You don't have to take my advice if you don't want to.

They also made Nox which isn't a bad first-attempt at an action-RPG.

I always admire when companies make something that's totally outside their comfort zone. Renegade's poor netcode showed that although they can make a fun game, FPS netcode is seriously hard.

Not particularly offensive stuff, your friend sounds like an average normalfag.

>> No.1242269

He kinda has a point though. Usually when a company goes out of business it's because they barely did anything worthwhile or made some incredibly dumb decision to drain their money away. Granted Westwood is the exception to that rule but I doubt a 13 year old knows just how shitty EA is.

Oh I've got a story from the mid 90s people. I'll refer to this man also as M.

>me: So you like games, huh? Which games do you like?
>M: I love playing Dark Souls and Skyrim, particularly Dark Souls, that game is perfect in every way possible. What games do you like?
>me: Oh, I'm not so much into newer games at the moment, I'm trying to play through some gems I missed out on on the SNES. My favorite game right now is Super Metroid.
>M: Oh my god, you're a console gamer? Why haven't you joined that master race? (No joke, he constantly says he's a member of the PC master race)
>me: I do have a gaming PC, but I'm not using it that much at the moment because I have a large backlog to finish.
>M: All those old games? Why bother with them, they suck.
>me: What do you mean?
>M: New games are more enjoyable because they're technically superior. I can't stand old games, they're terrible. They might have been good FOR THEIR TIME, but things have changed by far for the better. Also, you shouldn't bother with that SNES anon, just use an emulator. If it isn't on the PC, then it isn't worth it.

This. If you could go back and time and see your 12 year old self, I bet most of the people here would strangle themselves. Getting mad because some kid doesn't share your opinion is a pretty silly thing to do.

Also I get the feeling when I read these threads that most of the stories are exaggerated, in the style of those "rage comics" or whatever where one guy is incredibly calm and rational and the other person is a gibbering moron.
