Go shove your Saturn up your ass

>>14010157

it would be extremely painful

>>14010147 (OP)

I play them every fucking day, Segata-san.

>>14010147 (OP)

You might have to define where exactly you draw the line for "retro" (and then deal with the bickering over your choice regardless of what it is), but I usually have more interest in games from sixth gen and earlier, than seventh or above.

I wish /vr/ here wasn't dead.

Well I played the OG version of Skyrim recently, not that mainstream Enhanced thing, gotta say it was pretty retro.

fuck off.

SICKEST GET!!

>>14010170

>that ID

im 20, I grew up with an n64 and a ps2, I play tons of ps2 games and return to a few n64 classics

anything before that, I do play them but almost exclusively platformers and whatnot

yep, I play lots of older games. I'm 25. I also play them on my CRT just to make /v/ a little extra mad

How was the Initial D game on the Saturn.

>>14011039

>Sonic is shit

FTFY.

>>14010460

You are either extremely new or baiting.

>>14010147 (OP)

>how often do you play retro games?

At least as often as I play modern games.

>>14011044

better than the playstation game but the later initial d games are better.

>>14010166

Exactly. What is retro for a mustard rice like me? Anything published in the last century?

Oh man I love retro games like Mario Galaxy and Oblivion.

>>14011146

emulating console games and playing early windows 10 games

>>14011052

Woah you serious anon

I would never have guessed.

>>14010169

Segata will live on in our hearts.

>>14011052

Right back at you.

>>14011304

Is the Dreamcast retro? Is Shenmue 2 a retro title?

Right now im playing star wars dark forces, it has not aged well.

>Retro is now the games I grew up with.

Time is moving way too fast.

I played through the first section of the single player campaign for original vanilla Doom last night. Can't remember if I actually beat Doom or not as a kid so I figure I'll do a quick run. Doom 2 was always more my jam.

>>14011332

To kinda elaborate, I don't think the Dreamcast is retro, but it's definitely a classic, if that makes any difference.

>>14011357

Use the XL Engine.

Thanks anon, seeing enemies in the distance is difficult since they all looks like dark blobs in the distance that blur with the background.

I switched almost exclusively to retro games. More fun with minimal bullshit attached.

>>14011418

*tip*

platformers from that era like ninja gaiden are still a good challenge and rewarding, so I play those a lot. in terms of retro pc gaming, a lot of the strategy games from the early 90s were loads of fun like colonization. if you want to talk a little newer like late 90s/early 2000s, i still play those games constantly. i wouldn't really consider anything past '96 retro though, as >>14011344 pointed out

>>14011418

This, story in vidya is for fags.

>>14010147 (OP)

I play retro games a lot of times, if by retro you mean ps2 and older, but even if we go back a few generations, I am still interested in retro games specifically arcade games.

A little over 20. Why the fuck would anyone regardless of age play new shit? Its depressing. But i also was a poorfag and grew up with 2 or 1 generation older consoles and games since thats all we could afford.

>tfw 4chan's /vr/ board will NEVER EVER allow the trash that is Xbox and PS2

Feels gud lads.

>>14010147 (OP)

I just turned 20 a couple weeks ago and I play retro games a shitton. Some of my first games were Super Mario Bros 3 and Diablo 1/Hellfie. Diablo wasn't too old when I got into it, but Mario 3 was probably relatively old at that point. Zelda 2 was fucking awesome when I played through it for the first time and I adored my playthrough of it, and shit that uses older visuals like DF is right up my alley.

NiGHTs into Dreams is damn great by the way. Saturn was rad.

>he plays video games at all

>>14011525

>>>/cuckchan/

We don't ban for underage here.

>>14012221

If you liked Diablo, check out NoX. Damn good game. Damn good multiplayer too.

>>14012237

Fuck off if you're one of those "hurr /v/ doesn't play videogames" idiots. If you're just here to be a shitposting retard, gtfo.

>>14012203

>cuckchan

>>14012254

>We don't ban underage here

Yes, /v/ does. Lurk moar TORpedo.

>19

fuck retro games, stop living in the past old losers

I was exposed to old games when I was born, and I've stuck to them ever since. That said, I do still play new games, but I prefer the challenge that older games have.

>>14012406

pixel art is super overrated

it's a shame we don't see more 2d games like dragon's crown

>>14010166

/vr/ is dead here because old games are played enough they do get discussion going. That said it's only because of my tactical shilling anyone even gave a shit about some choice N64 games like Hybrid Heaven. Turok lost it's chance to shine when the non-Steam Level Editor was delayed.

>>14011535

Kids nowadays have less of an excuse. They most likely never played games from before the 360/ps3, so they could be playing a shitload of good games they never played before.

>>14012411

"pixel art" encompasses a thousand of different styles, Do you also say "Polygons are super overrated"?

>>14010147 (OP)

Is 10 years old enough to count as retro? I rarely play anything post-2007 nowadays.

Otherwise, I fire up my RetroPie about once a week.

>>14012299

Been here for years and years m8. That said, the /v/'s rules page confirms that apparently this board is special and bans for underage and the log confirms Mark just doles out 30min bans for this shit. I have no idea why considering that /b/ doesn't ban for underage.

>>14012575

>2007 is retro

>Crysis still looks better than most new games

Perhaps 2007 is a bit too soon, mind you.

>>14012593

>Been here for years and years m8.

You couldn't possibly have been on this site, longer then it's existed so 3-4 years tops.

>>14012272

Call me when more than five boards on 8chan aren't dead as fuck.

4chan still has this place beat when it comes to the more niche stuff.

>>14012642

I have indeed been here for 3-4 years.

>>14012719

3½ to be exact, I guess. Been here since around June 2014.

>>14012203

You're the type of cancer that killed that shitty board

>>14012692

>4chan still has this place beat when it comes to the more niche stuff.

Probably because you let cucks and neofags in who spend more time whining about stupid shit and incidentally posting niche stuff. Stay there >>>/cuckchan/

>>14010147 (OP)

Sadly i can't play sega saturn because too poor for an SS or a video card with DirectX11

>how often do you play retro games

pretty often. I don't care when something is from if it's good

>if you're 20 years old or under, are you even interested in them?

yes, unless I run into severe compatibility issues, extremely clunky mechanics that are used for the entire game, or the early 3d graphics give me motion sickness. I was excited to try descent because I've played red faction but I can't even look at it for 5 minutes without getting nausea.

I play trough fallout 2 every single year at least once. I tried the never ones but i get bored after like 4-5 hours and deinstall. There will never be a good atmospheric fallout ever again.

>>14012800

newer*

>>14010147 (OP)

19 yo here. Admittedly haven't played much shit before 7th gen but I'm slowly working on it.

I mean, I have played numerous PS2/GCN/GBA/N64 games and a few miscellaneous retros from before that but the bulk of my gaming experience has been with 7th gen shit unfortunately.

Games like Planescape Torment, Thief, and Fallouts 1/2 are at the top of my backlog.

>>14012692

>>>/tech/839692

lol

>>14010157

t. (((Bernie))) Stolar

>>14011332

In terms of graphics and hardware capability, i think PS2, and maybe even dreamcast is where retro ends. That's where videogames were more capable of somewhat realistic 3D graphics.

>>14012735

>You're the type of cancer that killed that shitty board

By… not wanting non-retro filth there? Alright then.

>>14012843

>not using noscript and ublock to counter gookmoot's scummy monetization schemes

lol

>>14012898

>not staying on cuckchan

lol reported

>>14012898

there's probably an overwatch thread up, you can go be a faggot there on halfchan

>>14012876

make sure not to miss newer stuff like eye and stalker

>>14012976

I own both, I just need to find the time to play them, Stalker especially.

>>14012976

Never even played overwatch, in fact most of modern vidya disgusts me. I'm only here to gloat about how superior /vr/ is to either 4chan's or 8chan's shitholes which you call /v/.

>>14012572

shut up nerd boy

>>14012385

n64/playstation are definitely retro at this point.

i'ld even consider ps2 retro at this point if the industry had gone anywhere except the synagogue afterwards.

Every 2 or 3 days, i'm 32

>>14011446

I'll bite because I want to rant. Why? Because I want to just run a game and play without online, clients, updates and long install times? Games nowadays are subpar movie wannabes with no fun allowed, and they have too much bullshit attached. They're not worth the time, money and frustration. I'll play a newer game once in a blue moon, but that's becoming more and more rare.

haha i love retro games like skyrim and fallout 3, when they were released I wasn't even 10 years old :))))) i can't wait to share them with my kids when I grow up, we can play it on our holodeck!!!

Older SSF builds runs on 1st gen dual cores at full speed.

>>14013452

I know, but they fuck up with some key games i want to play like shinning force 3

>>14013490

Aw fuck, I think I remember that, I was playing through scenario 1 but got sick of it, couldn't remember if it was because it crashed or not.

Stay there then.

>>14014356

That's not the emulator's fault, Sakuraba is shit.

I was hoping to make more time to play them on my PC but I'll have to stick with my Gamecube, GBA, and fat PS3 for now since I accidentally installed malware when trying to download and open a torrent from FitGirl's site last week when I barely had any sleep. I feel so ashamed.

>>14014079

Would be really nice if it got more than 2 posts per day.

>>14026070

Nothing's better than finding great old games that you missed the first time. I just marathoned the Wario Land games this year. I'd only played 3 when I was 10 and it was new, so it was more fun than I've had in games in a long time to play through these fresh.

Wario Land 2 is the best.

>>14011076

The first of the children born in the year 2000 will be able to vote in a few weeks

I don't like threads like these because it implies that the majority of people here don't play old games and the occasional newer ones.

Sage due to misery.

>>14026610

Or at least equal amounts of old and new games.

>>14012692

Obviously. The reality is that if you want to talk about an obscure game the OT threads on neoFAG or the boards on gamefaqs are a better option.

Imageboards are not conducive to intelligent debate.

>>14012692

Shit, there's as many as 5?

Please, name them.

Christ, I'm nearly 22 and I'm starting to see why there's many bad opinions on 8chan.

I like a lot of retro games but at this point I only play ones that I'm nostalgic for. Mostly SNES and N64 if anything.

>>14010147 (OP)

I'm trying to play more classic games as I've never played them before, and if it's a series that has extended into modern times it doesn't feel right to start with a title so late in the series.

Recently I've played Final Fantasy 1, Knuckles Chaotix and Resident Evil 2, and each one left me more appreciative of classic games.

I only play pre 2007 AA+ studio quality games.

Anything after 2007, is usually just some good indie games.

games were good up to SNES era.

PSX era is good if you wanna talk about 3D games.

PS2 era is like a silver era.

PS3 is the start of the decline.

Anything post 2007 is trash beyond indie games.
