I not only make inflammatory posts about games I know nothing about, I also respond to myself on the opposite side of the argument just to rile up both sides. Farming (You)s is more fun than any game I've played.

Most people are unable to change their opinion, even when presented against constructive criticism and facts.
Out of those, from my experience about half of them are unable to form their own opinions and just "feel" and "think" what they've been told to from one source or another that feels legit to them.

The sooner you realize that the better off you'll be. It's just how human beings are about most things and also an educational issue, as most school system never teach people to think for themselves.

In the case of video games some shit started by journos 20-30 years ago that are unfair or even outright false are still plaguing some games' reputations these days. People complain about e-celebs but in a way I think they're better because at least when they go overboard you can call them out directly and publicly.
Let's face it, out of all the people that complain about people eating up e-celebs shit, a good portion probably ate up the same kind of shit from journos in magazines in the 90's.

but i'm sharing my opinions on retro games i play day in day out.
Long time ago i just decided to lay back and only replay my favorites I.E get better at them and discover new shit. I buy like 4 new games at most each year. Looking for ones that can enrich my life instead of being thrown into my collection and never being touched again.

the trick is to discuss the GAME and not it's quality or how it made a person feel. If he thinks the game is trash then that's where the discussion ends. Thanks buddy, i can live with your opinion. But let me talk about it's content with other anons in peace. We really don't need to have yet another debate wether or not people are allowed to enjoy the game in question

That's because the public education system was never about thinking. It was about training the next generation to do what they're told. Teachers love to talk about "critical thinking" until a student actually does some.

even worse than that is when zoomies try to tell us about games relative to the time they were released--how good they were, how they were received, what it was like playing them, etc. If you weren't already a gamer at least by the time the early-mid 90's hit, reading game mags, drooling over screenshots in the previews section, then your retrospective opinion that you formulated based on youtube videos means nothing to anyone. Feel free to lurk, but keep your fingers off the keyboard unless your posts are all prefaced with "I'm just a stupid fucking zoomie, but..."

I only talk about games I've actually played and I find it astonishing how obvious it is that most posters here are 20 years old or younger, and haven't played even half the shit they talk about, and are content to just parrot things they've heard or read others say.
Even threads about extremely popular easily accessible game series like Resident Evil minimum half the thread posts will make it blatantly obvious they have no or extremely limited experience with the games.

Just a whole generation that doesn't enjoy playing video games, they just do it because they saw someone else having fun.

Some words and phrases really date the poster, but not as much of an issue as long as they're not being dumbasses.

I'm a relatively new poster here that's under 30 and make a point to only weigh in on things that I've actually played or experienced. And if I haven't, I'm asking questions. I hope that brings you at least a little solace.

there is a very real, well-organized, and well-funded effort to fill /pol/ with shills who are there to shift the narrative. The guy you're replying to is probably from /pol/ and is paranoid from his experience there. Personally, I haven't noticed any "bots" here on /vr/, just a bunch of uninformed zoomies who are just as stupid as a bot, and I'm not sure how anyone could benefit from filling this place with bots other than to promote some indie project or youtube channel or some shit like that. Again, zoomies who are too quick to share their shit opinions are the real plague of /vr/, not "bots."

No, I'm actually completely opposed to using save states, and I'm really autistic about it. I've just had a lot of free time this year, and I'm patient as a motherfucker. Here's everything I've beaten this year:
Kid Icarus
StarTropics
Klonoa: Door to Phantomile
Mega Man

Mega Man 6
Mega Man 7

Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Vectorman
Earthworm Jim
Earthworm Jim 2
Kirby's Dream Land 2
Super Mario Land
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
Tekken
Tekken 2

Metroid Fusion
Virtual Boy Wario Land
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles
Knuckles' Chaotix
Jumping Flash!
Gex
D
...all that, plus eight more non-/vr/ titles for a total of 60 games.
The ONLY time I used anything resembling a savestate was when I was trying to save the girl at the end of Comix Zone—I got fucked by the RNG item at the very end, so I used the rewind feature to get better RNG. But to me, that's fair, because that was after I had already beaten the game once and gotten the bad ending. I just wanted to see what would happen if you saved Alyssa or whatever her name was.

Currently. I'm trying to beat Bug! (Saturn), but since my Saturn's internal battery is dead, I've been starting from square one every session. I could beat it in one sitting if I just totally poopsock it, but it'll probably take a week to memorize all those long-ass levels, and I don't wanna deal with that shit, so I'll have to see if I can't replace the battery.

It isn't the same thing, retard. No comparison like that will even make sense anyway because a movie is a passive experience that is the same every time while a video game can be played in a million different ways. There isn't a "wrong" way to play a video game and if you think there is you're just an elitist faggot who needs to learn how to stop being a retard
Nobody actually cares if you "beat the game correctly", you just want to have some excuse to shit on others because there's nothing in your life
