Why are retro gamers so set on being against the grain or contrarian, if I say anything positive about Nintendo and say I'm a big fan of their retro library I'll get tons of replies with soijaks and people saying that uh actually mario and oot are overrated and this obscure ass mega drive/ ps1 game is better

such is the way of /vr/, no matter how good a game is obscurer means it's automatically better. Like yeah FFVI is alright I guess but have you played this one jrpg that was made for the sega ultracock 128x^2 electroballs expansion cartridge and it was only released in like 6 stores in Japan and there are like 2 official translated copies that were only released in France and Ireland respectively? No? Shit taste anon.

That's more this place specifically than retro gamers in general. 4chan is pretty contrarian overall, though /vr/ is particularly bad about it.

It's like claiming that you like good coffee but you only drink starbucks.

Nintendo fans can be the most insufferable loyally blind morons who don't really like retro games and know nothing about retro games they just like things with the Nintendo label on it.
Yes there are some great nintendo games, but they're not the be all end all of retro video.

But that is a reason for the /vr/ backlash against people who praise Nintendo

You're not supposed to "just have fun". If you don't feel the need to look at games through a modern viewlens and judge them as objectively as possible, you might as well just be a fucking shill. It's not my fault you enjoy playing normie s*y trash, it's your fault for not taking gaming seriously enough to seek out true hidden gems.

This entire site is full of people being contrarian at every turn. They think it's an actual personality trait.

Yeah Nintendo makes solid games and even they're not all to your taste anyone who likes video games in general recognizes that. But there's a difference it seems between people who like some games Nintendo has made and those who just like Nintendo games. That's where Nintendo fanboys come up and they're all insufferable, so when Nintendo is the first thing you talk to someone about people get wary.

>> No.7033374

Those people are a loud minority. Most people who aren't autistic console warriors understand that Nintendo have made a lot of good games, and liking them doesn't negate your ability to enjoy "hidden gems".

And the opposite is like being into movies, but refusing to accept that any of Spielberg's movies are good, just because he's the most well known director. Both ends of this spectrum are bad, and you should just try not to be a total faggot instead.

Those people exist for everything though. I've met a lot of people who are like that with Sony. The person who has only ever bought Playstation consoles and only ever will buy Playstation consoles is a very common thing, at least in Europe.

Only Americans give a shit about Nintendo games. Sorry, but it's the truth.

Spielberg is trash and hasn't made anything approaching a good movie in decades

You should have been here when the board was created, it was mostly a chill place. The only remnants of that is /doom/.

As others have pointed out, it's just the way 4chan is as a whole, which only gets worse as time goes on.

Mario and zelda is just entry level games that poseurs play. These people are incapable to widening their horizons
