Real talk, you should tell your son and apologize if you haven't already. Shit like this is what ruined my relationship with my parents, because they would do shitty stuff like this and then only ever act defensive/guilt me about whatever when later on in my life I called them out on it.

My mom bought me Doom 2 for $40 when I was eight years old.

I was too scared to play it for several days and just watched the prerecorded demo over and over again.

why is the guy playing in these demo vids always retarded? looks like /vr/ anon tier gameplay.

anyway don't feel bad anon. my friend had doom 2 on his computer when I was 8 or 9 and I whenever he left the room I would stop playing. Way 2 scary. I did end up going through all of Doom 1 alone on my aun't computer that summer... but the sound didn't work so maybe that's why it didn't phase me. By 10 I went through all of Doom 2 no fucks given though.

I think that the physics of most of the castlevania weapons is completely retarded

Seriously? Trowing fucking holy water on the ground? Throw it like a knife, idiot!
And what about boomerang crosses and a fucking whip that you can keep moving after you already whipped? What the fuck is that supposed to be? Am I controlling the guy or the whip? Is it alive? Is it supposed to be done with wrist movement???

GAMES I PLAYED AND ENJOYED BUT COULDN'T FINISH AS OF YET:

SMW - beginning

Castlevania - on Dracula

Ninja Gaiden - last chapter

Sonic 2

It's not gonna fly like a knife retard. But this way it creates a holy quake on the ground and fucks everybody who stands there.
> boomerang crosses
They exist. It's just trajectory would be kinda awkward for a 2d platformer.

>> No.3345772

I savestated my way through Sonic 2, after Casino Night the game gets more and more bullshit with every level

>> No.3346039

These days I start RPGs on an emulator, hack the save game to give myself maximum gold or whatever currency is used, then transfer the save to my ED to play. It's cheating as fuck but helps me eliminate a good portion of the grinding. Still gotta grind for levels, but at least not for money. I just don't have time to grind as much as I used to.

I can't enjoy most 3-D versions of 2-D series I loved. Super Mario 64, OoT, I just can't get into or enjoy them. I consider it a personal issue, since they are obviously fun.

I've played the shit out of Perfect Dark multiplayer, but I've never touched the single player game. Same with Goldeneye 007.

I've played through and beat Might and Magic 2, but I've never played any other Might and Magic game for longer than 30 minutes, even though I know 3-6 are all better games than 2.

I've played through and beaten all 3 Duke Nukem 3D levels(level packs?), but I have yet to play beyond the 2nd level of any other Build engine game.

I had a chance to get a fully working Sega Saturn with cables and a controller for $30, and passed because I didn't really have the room for it, and didn't feel I had the time to deal with it.

Me too, anon. I continuously buy Famicoms even though I have several working ones and a PVM, but I still play in Wii mode on my Wii U hooked up to a flat-screen.

I hate every single "simple" platformer.

SMB, SMB3, SMW, SMW2:YI, DKC, DKC2, DKC3.

I need some kind of action element to enjoy platformers. Games like Actraiser and Actraiser 2 will always be way better to me. Much more interesting and deep.

I'll concede that games like DKC are usually well designed and have good flow, but I hate them. Jumping on heads is a stupid and boring mechanic.

Same, really people hate more of who likes earthbound then earthbound itself. Pretty hilarious how many here like DQ but refuse to touch mother.

Actually the mother series is my favorite game series abd I bought a copy of earthbound for $200.
I use fast forward when playing older rpgs either for grinding or if the movement is slow.
I think limited continues in games suck. Only game I can think of that I completed with limited continues is smb1. Typically if a game has limited continues I don't want to play it.

Whenever I play a JRPG, I almost always end up falling in love with the playable female character that has the least amount of plot relevance or screen time.

Rydia from FF4, Quistis from FF8, the priestess chick in Lunar (Jessica?), Freya in FF9, Katt in BOF2, Medea in DQ8... the list goes on.

I hate exploration in 2D side scrollers. They should all be linear, with only branching paths that converge on the same goal. Metroidvanias are such a boring slog.

Exploration is only good in 3D and overhead view games with no platform hopping.

As a kid, I was scared of all action games (mostly PS1).

They just stressed me out. I loved Ape Escape, Spyro, platformers and puzzle games. I could play fighting games no problem, like Tekken, because they are fairly simple.

Aiming mechanics, getting cornered by enemies, realistic deaths, stealth gameplay and complicated controls all made me feel uneasy. I would've never played Silent Hill or Resident Evil back then, which are now my favorite games.

I agree. It's not a fucking arcade, so why the fuck should I start from the beginning. It's not like I can save anywhere either.

I don't mind both types of 2D platformers. It ultimately depends on the execution for me in these sorts of cases.

>Exploration is only good in 3D
This however, I disagree heavily. When it comes to the "exploration" factor of most early 3D adventure-platform games, I feel as if they're trying to justify making you walk around an array of empty, crudely designed worlds with hamhanded objectives and shit
