/v/ - Video Games

Lots. Pretty much all the ones I've played with my cousin in our childhoods (I don't talk with him anymore…). This one is particularly meaningful though:

- Beautiful intro song! Can listen for hours.

- Characters you can easily attach yourself to. Game has a pretty deep story, with cutscenes and stuff. There is even a story mode where every character fights his "enemy" at the end (and you can see the cutscenes then). I liked Yoko the most.

- The characters use fucking weapons! A rarity in fighting games it seems. Love the locations too - airport, rooftop…

In the end it comes down to the social aspect with my cousin though. All our failed tries to execute the strongest throws…Nostalgia is a double-edged sword, truly.

Thanks for the thread, OP.

Me and my female cousin use to play 3 games together.

>sonic adventure 2

We were the proud father and mother of an angel chao named Victoria. We loved taking care of her and raising her when we got back from school.

>harvest moon a wonderful life

We took turns in raising the crops and we both agreed to marry Celia and that Muffy was a total slut. Every time we walked past Muffy in town, we made hooker jokes about her.

>smash bros melee

We use to roleplay as the character and come up with different adventures. She always picked Sheik and I always picked Link. By roleplay, I really do mean roleplay. We got into character and played house in the hyrule level. Sometimes we went on vacation to other places, like the mushroom kingdom.

Good times. Yes, it was all sort of faggoty in hindsight, but that was the childhood I spent with my cousin. We're still close pals, even to this day.

I'm only comfortable revealing all of these to you because fuck it, I'm anonymous and I'll never be doxxed here. I'll never be embarrassed because you faggots won't ever learn my real name.

Runescape 2 will always have a special place in my heart and I'm not talking about whatever it is that OSRS has mutated into. I might not be able to recapture that feeling of adventure I felt when I played the game for the first time with my schoolyard friends, but I'm going to carry those sweet memories with me the rest of my life.

>tfw most of my childhood was Rollercoaster Tycoon, Delta Force, the demos of Freespace 1 and 2, Jane's USAF, Fighter Ace, and Pokemon

>>16553603

These three games are especially near and dear to my heart.

>>16553603

Heh

Kinda ironic that I would pick this

It's weird, I'm not even into card games that much, but Pokemon TCG for the gameboy and Digimon DCB for the ps1 were my motherfuckin jam

me my sister and brother played the this game together when we were younger. it's one of the few memories i have of us together having fun as a family, we each beat one part of the game where you play through a party member's story.

So many hours spend in complete comfiness.

I remember I used to go to my neighbor's house just to play Sonic Adventure while she watched. She always liked watching the Chao Races, so I did my best to raise Chao in between levels and pretend that it was part of the story to keep her engaged. She adored backseat gaming whenever I spent time raising Chao on her Dreamcast. Sometimes she'd call me just for advice on raising Chao so she could race in her spare time. Looking back on it, it was kind of cute. Both SA and SA2 give me flashbacks of this friendship founded on raising weird gelatinous substitutes for children. It's a real shame we moved away while growing up. Things were innocent back then.

>>16557548

Those are some good feels anon. Cherish them always.

I grew up with all of these games. The first three are how my father got me into gaming. The last two are games he bought me, but I feel like I failed him somehow.

I guess I have one? Since this topic seems to be about games you played with people that meant something to you, I do have one experience where I guided my friend through Silent Hill 3. At first, it was just on the phone. She'd relay information about what was going on, and then I'd tell her what to do, etc. Later on, I would be at her place and play for her, picking up all the items and whatnot along the way.

I miss her, terribly.

>>16557577

I feel you anon. A female friend of mine used to play vidya all the time with me when we were kids. And we drifted apart terribly tbh I was more attracted to her mother, but that's a whole nother topic

>>16557565

Man, do I. Even to this day I value that one friendship with her. It was truly the "girl next door" story, but we moved away before romance became a thing in our childhood lives. Every day we'd ride bikes, play Sonic games, or sneak on neighbor's property just to say we did. "No Trespassing" was a joke to us. There were other kids in the neighborhood too, but they didn't play games like we did. Kid down the street was playing Midnight Club, we were raising Chao. I once got in a fight with a kid outside the cul-de-sac about Destroy All Humans, and she had my back. First time I ever got a black eye, and despite losing the fight, she made me feel like a winner. Just because she stood by me.

Looking back on it, I can't believe I built such a bond over a Sonic game. I didn't even know about Sonic until meeting her, and now I hope Chao Gardens will make a beautiful return just so I can relive those high points of my childhood. I remember us being naive, considering making a YouTube channel dedicated to raising Chao before YouTube took off. We spent time in her attic drawing pictures and filming flow charts to try and help other people like how I had helped her in the beginning.

Fuck, now I feel like playing Sonic Adventure,

The first game I ever played, and one that would make me love Star Wars forever fuck I wish I could go back to when that was true

Why can't there be good arcade-style dogfighting games anymore?

Zelda 2. First game I ever actually got lost in, both literally and figuratively. To this day I still love big open games where I can explore at will. I played this before Zelda 1, since Zelda 2 was my brother's game, and I didn't own Zelda 1 until I got the NES for Christmas as a hand-me-down when my brother was given a Mega Drive. Both games, and the NES itself, is special to me.

>>Raising kids

>>Playing house

>She wanted your dick

Seconded. You should definitely have played doctors and nurses with your cousin and given her the shota d.

I used to put on Rogue Squadron and put on the music player while reading the EU books as a teen. Whenever the scene in the book changed I would find appropriate music. So Luke's chapters had his theme in the background, Imperial scenes had the march, battle scenes would get something like Hoth or Endor depending on the setting.

Theres just something about this game. Also got it as a gift to keep me busy on a long car ride to a scout camp.

Gen 1 pokemon games are one of a kind and they got even better after jojobear13's hack fixed all of the bugs/ai.

Clonk Planet's a real-time strategy game of sorts, in the form of a 2D platformer. Kind of wonky control system until you get used to it, as most actions, like walking or digging have to be manually stopped. Beyond that quirk, you are rather limited in making characters do things without active control or intervention.

With the sheer amount of customization and modding involved, it has sort of that Warcraft 3 custom maps vibe, mixed with Stranded 2 and Terraria.

Collectan shit, minan shit with explosives, buildan shit, fightan shit, zauberan shit, accidentally droppan shit down your mineshaft where the janky physics makes it plow through most of your dudes and carries them along, gaining ludicrous speed and climbing any vertical walls as horizontal movement slowly gets translated into vertical movement.

I think Clonk Rage is the latest iteration on the game, but it's still more than a decade old. The prerendered 3D sprite thing really doesn't do it for me, but the gameplay hasn't changed much at all.

>Sitting down on a summer evening with 3 bros all with gbas and link cables, ordering in a shitty mom and pop pizza or some kebabs and playing into the late hours of the night.

I'm so excited for it to come to the Switch and so are they.

>>16558684

I know that feel, I remember my liltie and my friends playing this game.

>>16556554

>games will never be that wholesome again

>all will be Soyney shitlord-free PC-police approved oppression-olympics-taxed abominations

Anon that story warmed my dead dead heart.

>>16557548

Yours, too.

>I feel like I failed him somehow.

Kirby forgives all failures, so long as you submit to Him.

>>16557628

>want to play again

SA2B emulates very acceptably on Dolphin dev editions.

>>16558684

>i never had friends to play this game with

>I still don't

It hurts. It really does. I just bought the soundtrack though, after listening to it non-stop for the past few months. Fuck it, I'll upload it and post it here.

Well, the game will have online, so now you may find some anons and play with them. No the same but I'll wager it can be a pleasant experience.

Me too, I still remember fondly when I played this with my sister (Clavete) and my little cousin (Yuko). I played as a Liltie and had a blast. The soundtrack and art direction was top notch, and the gameplay while simple was really fun,

To contribute to the topic, and seeing how many of my beloved games have been poster, I think I'll contribute with pic related. Remember playing it when I was younger, being unsettled by the eerie atmosphere and intimidated by the difficulty and the limited saves, yet at the same time fascinated on how unique it as. It wasn't until a couple of years ago that I decided to give it another try because of what some anon said about it and finally beat it. It is unique thing for sure, and I find its design and how it combines gameplay and narrative fascinating, while having a lot of heart. I will hold it always as an example of good narrative in videogames, not because it writing is great, as it is actually simple and nothing to write home about, but how the gameplay reinforces the narrative and viceversa, while still being one of the most fun and strategic JRPGs I have played. The fact that it was responsible for the death of the Breath of Fire saga is hearth-breaking for so many reasons.

I can't think of anything.

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga is my ultimate childhood game. I've somehow wasted hundreds of hours playing through that game multiple times. It was just too good.

These 3

I have moved house 10 times in my life and I'm barely twice that number in age.

When moving out of a house that I loved at the age of 14, I was so heartbroken about it that I sat down in a corner and played the Pokemon TCG until the moving truck was fully loaded. I've replayed the game every time that I've been forced to move since.
