Thread 715620892

Why are zoomers so obsessed with games they’ve never beaten and maybe played a few times before Facebook came out?

@grok explain what this diddy ahh OP is yapping about in 10 words or less

They're not I've never seena zoomer talk about any of these. Beat 4/5 btw sonic is gay

im 30 years old and i love the fact that the internet gave this era a name, reminds me of how great we had it and how it should be celebrated by embracing it's aesthetics and music

>>715621046
Basically unc onto nothing, yappin mad for no reason.

>>715620892 (OP)
Beatmania IIDX 12 Happy Sky is the most soulful videogame in existence with this exact aesthetic

>>715621056
They usually call frutiger aero. They get filtered by the actual gameplay but they think the "vibes are immaculate"

>>715620892 (OP)
Stop caring about what other people think

What's rubbing me wrong is how people just started to love something because of le y2k aesthetic. It feels wrong.

>>715621328
>"vibes are immaculate"
Holy fucking shit literal NPC copy-pasted opinion: the sentence
I thought I was the only who noticed

I'm obsessed with nostalgic Japanese shit in general

>>715621262
Beatmania never really changed their art direction.
Stop basedfacing at everything with a bit of chromatic shading

>>715621135
Thanks cuh

>>715620892 (OP)
Everyone yearns to be a child. You shouldn't be so surprised to see new waves of people talk about life being better "back then". Also gen z had the misfortune of living in a post-9/11 world, devoid of creativity and 90s naive optimism.

>>715621608
At least they're beginning to move past having 30 different ways of saying "not joking, I'm serious", but they're now working through having multiple ways of saying "I think this is the best"

>>715621328
These games have NOTHING to do with "frutiger aero", stop using this retard zoomer term

These games came out when zoomers were kids why tf do you think they like them?

>>715621881
Sure they're frutiger aero. That's what you kids keep calling them right?

>>715620892 (OP)
Better than your ass pretending to be smart

>>715620892 (OP)
Never played WW. Should I emulate the original or the remaster?

>>715620892 (OP)
The people obsessed with this grew up in flyover country and have never seen the ocean so this is something they heavily romanticize. It's this every time. Any time someone posts this, ask where they are from. You'll never get California, Florida, New York, New England, the coastal parts of the UK etc. Its always zoomers in places like the suburbs of Detroit or farm towns in Nebraska

>>715620892 (OP)
The first time this image was posted was in 2018. Then Reddit and Twitter found it and it has been reposted since then here and there then on Facebook. This is what we called Ebaumsworld tier shenningans. Why can't you dipshits make anything unique and why do you obsess about our old 4chan memes? Take for example Sonic Adventure in that picture, it was a SEGA Dreamcast game and its something zoomers wouldn't know much about but talk about "missing out" on a game they've never played on a console they've never owned.

>>715621476
Reddit, Facebook, Twitter finds a late 2010 4chan meme. Proceeds to spam it. Just like the GameCube $99 ads, with zero context. The GameCube used to be cheap because it sold 10 million while the PS2 was at 100 million at the time, literally outselling it 10 to 1 so Nintendo got desperate to push units out the door. Somehow zoomers mentally deranged from social media think this was "classic nice Nintendo era". When GBA to GameCube link cables and Four Sword Adventures would cost you 100 dollars to play with friends and relatives. There's even a rule on 4chan about reposting the same shit over and over, unfortunately, the ADHD brainrotted zoomer mind can't read so they don't get it.

>>715620892 (OP)
Because rhe 2000s and 90s didn’t have a retarded constant political drama infesting every moment. Because people had opportunities to succeed in life in a traditional sense rather than grift their way into retarded amounts of money

>>715622129
Is that why coastal devs keep making games that romanticize the Rocky Mountains?

>>715620892 (OP)
the image is missing chrono cross, an iconic beach-like theme

>>715620892 (OP)
Zoomers are like 30 anon. Half of them grew up with it.

>>715622217
/v/ has had 00s summer threads since at least 2011, I want all zoomniggers to leave

>>715622126
the original the remaster fucks up the lighting so bad its criminal

i dont get what this thread is about, is it so wrong for people to love how older games used to look like? Why are you guys so worked up about this

>>715621616
Add Trigun.

>>715622563
Ok, thanks!

>>715620892 (OP)
>"Zoomers should play old games!"
>"ok"
>"Why are zoomers playing old games? REEEEE"
This board is so fucking boring.

>>715623449
OP's point is they don't play the games just post about them

>>715623449
Many such cases. My favorite is when people cry about the board only discussing AAA but also shout down anything smaller as being a shill

>>715621616
Haibane Renmei listed twice because it's double kino. I agree.

>>715623514
I think it's fine to post about games you like but don't play, but you need to specify the elements that draw you in. You can't say "dude vibes tho". Say you really like the color pallete or the visual clarity of simpler models and levels or whatever cause at least you can contrast those with current game trends. Obviously they should play the games so they don't sound like retards but there's still some value that can be gleaned. It just requires zoomers to actually articulate what they feel in specificity and that's something their entire generation is incapable of.

>>715623514
Yeah like MOTHER/EarthBound with lots of fans who never played the game

>>715622129
I'm a native Floridian and tropical levels are my absolute favorites. I like the look and the music.

>>715624475
same bro I need to get a pub sub soon its been too long. Go Panthers btw.

>>715622564
I feel like I'm in a timeloop and I hate it

>>715624610
What are you talking about?

>>715624461
that's because jrpgs are boring as shit and they're too long

>>715624680
I feel like I'm in a timeloop and I hate it

>>715624753
earthbound is literally the exception and I can play it any time and have a great time

>>715620892 (OP)
Their generation's games are all gacha and wokeshit

>>715624974
>Shit genres
>Big games are visual messes because of TAA and framegen
>Gameplay is either mobile phone tier mashing, rollslop, or aimbots
>Most companies are just resting in their laurels and aren't innovating at all
Unbelievably grim. I'd be nostalgic for 2003 as well

>>715624974
Likewise it's funny how PC gamers used to brag about Quake and shit on Halo and consoles and now they only play gacha and UE5 shit

>>715620892 (OP)
why are you obsessed over what other people play instead of playing anything yourself?

>>715621616
>nostalgic for something he didnt experience himself
kys zoomer vermin

>>715627464
This time period of anime has an inherent nostalgia, ya know? And I may not have watched like Ergo Proxy as a kid, but I did watch Yugioh and Naruto and that kind of makes me nostalgic for the whole time period of anime that looks like that.

>>715620892 (OP)
Not all vidya looked like this in the early 2000s.
There were plenty of other art styles and themes that you are just conveniently choosing to ignore.
There are plenty of blue ocean blue sky sunshine ass games coming out even today that you are choosing to ignore.

>>715629850
>blue ocean blue sky sunshine
Name 3

>>715629850
>blue ocean blue sky sunshine
Yeah that theme was also popular in the 90s

>>715628146
Yeah. Trendy fake nostalgia. I'm sure you were the kind of preteen who bullied all the weebs and alt kids, back in the day.

>>715620892 (OP)
>Sonic Adventure
>00s
The game came out in 98.
