I know I'm old because I can't play a lame ass sidescrolling 2D action game in 2025. When I said this at work, some 20 year old defended this game like it "has really solid gameplay". I realize kids never played mario or any of this shit growing up. To zoomers, this game is "new". They never even played SotN.
My jaw dropped to the floor seeing the "big reveal" of this at ONL. It looks so fucking lame and vanilla, but to zoomers this is "epic" for some reason. I'm astounded this is some 'hype' game.
I know I'm old because I can't believe people are hyped for this lame fucking SNES garbage that's barely different than those 30 year old games. It's like metroid with DLC. WOOOOOW I could not care less.
There are entire new generations that never played certain genres.
>a 2D platformer metroidvania is hype in 2025
I watched a streamer play this game and it's seriously lame as fuck compared to something like Bloodstained. I'm too old to understand what zoomers like.

My brain can't even wrap my head around how someone could feel this way.

Some stupid fucking metroidvania gets this response. Zoomers don't have 30 years of metroidvanias in their head. They think this is something interesting, when it's truly a copy paste game.
The whole "silksong" hype is probably the most disconnected I've ever been from the group. I don't understand it even 1%. Can't wrap my head around it. To me it seems like a massive troll that I'm not in on.

Thanks, I'll leave the thread now. To you this will be like kids flipping out over a Minecraft clone or Factorio clone in 2045. You'll get it then.
