These are the gamers driving online gaming discourse btw

Are broccoli heads born that way or do they have to put product and shit in their hair to give it that gay look?

imagine being nostalgic of having wasted your teenage years playing vidya instead of going outside and having a real life.
>then why ur here hurr durr
i started playing games well into adulthood. i certainly won't miss them.

Every generation did this with different games and activities. There are kids doing this right now with fortnite, there are people in their early 20s talking about the days of doing this with original fortnite

>mfw /vr/ will eventually allow this crap and people will pretend shit's the same as playing Xevious

>>716452415
Wii sports does not fucking count.

>>716452335
Those are perms

>>716452361
thing is, I share that nostalgia with other people
meanwhile we have a coworker who didn't live that life like we did, so he doesn't relate as well to us
make sure your kids have experiences in common with the other kids, or they will become outcasts

Not bad, atleast they still know what pure gameplay looks like. Won't be long until the storyfags own the industry and think every single game needs to have a story more important than just being a fun game to play.

>>716452160 (OP)
That COD was actually good though, in like every way both MP and Zombies. After that game COD stopped being a fun arcadey shooter and basically turned into "advertisement/marketplace the game" from that one forward and lost ALL substance. Call me a boomerzoomer or whatever but modern COD is a genuinely unplayable, placebo, fake video game that only still exists because the past games were so good.

Oh.

>>716453372
Disqualifying Wii Sports because it was a bundle would also disqualify SM64

I love Call of Duty. Just because I play Elden Ring and Xcom doesn't mean it's wrong to want to unwind with some simple FPS multiplayer.

>>716454586
>playing decade old good shooters makes you a zoomer unless its CSGO or some other 3rd worlder 4chan approved one

Lmaoing at your retarded ass

>>716454876
XCOM is not fucking casual, are you insane?

>>716454874
Of it "killed video games" now. I guess I must be imagining all the activity on this board.

>>716455072
You are playing and discussing zombie games

>>716454726
No it wouldn't.

For me, it was Black Ops 1.

2006-2025 in order
havent played, good, good, good, good, good, good, shit

hrmmm i am nooooticing a pattern with modern video game releases

>>716455213
You obviously weren't around for the N64 release, and you've been misinformed.
Every single Wii came with Wii sports included, outside of two countries you literally couldn't buy it without also getting that game. Meanwhile no Nintendo 64 came with Mario 64 by default, that only happened if a specific store decided to do it as part of some promotion.

>>716452160 (OP)
>>716452415
you didn't manage to bait anyone in the Undertale thread with these images, so you needed to make a whole thread just to post them again
you're really driving online gaming discourse btw

>>716452160 (OP)
I don’t think this is so bad. I’m in my 30s and I played the original version of Modern Warfare 2 in 2010 afterschool with my high school friends. Let new generations of kids enjoy their games.

what school fucking lets out at 2:15?
2:45 at earliest

>>716455515
Either you count bundled games or you don't

>>716453232
COD 1 - 3 are already allowed because they're on 6th gen consoles. So is that shitty port of WaW, but I can't imagine anyone wanting to discuss that pile of garbage. I do wonder if the DS games are allowed though. Those ones are basically Medal Of Honor 1 with better controls.

>>716455649
I was let out at around 3pm. Never over 4pm. Wtf

>>716454586
You just hate CoD because its what replaced Doom clones. There's nothing wrong with it, at least not the 7th gen games.

>>716452160 (OP)
I was doing this but I was in college.

>remember this image often being posted to overwhelming mockery, protest, and discontent just 3-4 years ago
>now 90%+ of the thread is identifying with it
Holy fuck things got grim FAST

BO2 was the peak of CoD and I'm glad stuff like Plutonium exists to preserve it when Jewvision would never. Every CoD pre ghosts was fucking kino, it just hasnt been the same since

>>716455657
Sorry anon, it's too warm, I can't be bothered with this game right now. I'm just gonna call you a retard and move on. Maybe someone else can pick up the slack and feed you more (you)s.

>>716454874
Have you ever actually played CoD? Played it with friends?

>>716452160 (OP)
It's even worse when you realize a bunch of them are the ones crying about modern games while yearning for the AAA crap of their childhood. Genuinely hard to take any 'old good, new bad' arguments seriously after seeing tons of unironic posts on here getting nostalgic over games like CoD and personally knowing dudes that whine about modern games constantly, despite never trying anything non-AAA that other people recommend them, while being fond of Assassin's Creed and Fallout 3.

>>716455962
>Played it with friends?
Normalfags fucking LEAVE

>>716455165
There were probably more Wiis sold explicitly for the purpose of playing Wii Sports than SM64 copies sold total

>>716455430
Then you played the only ones worth playing. Everything after BO2 is garbage or an inferior remake of something better.

>>716455649
Mine would let out at 2:30, but the drive home meant we usually got home bu 2:45 or 3:00.

>>716455902
What do you mean? Things were already grim then.

>>716455902
I actually remember before that the image was about MINECRAFT

>>716452415
Normalfags were a fucking mistake. Jesus Christ.

I'm a neet who spends his free time browsing 4chinz and e6 on a 20 year old computer and I still have friends to play split screen modern warfare with.

>>716456125
2022-2024 was the biggest drop in board quality in my 15+ years here

>>716456206
Those children are not welcome on /v/retard, they were obviously old enough to have nostalgia for COF and make that image back then but they weren't on /v/, now they are

>>716456025
The games industry as a whole has been getting steadily worse for the past 20 years. Yes, there are still good games coming out, but a good AAA game is incredibly rare. Compare that to 2007 when a bunch of decent games like CoD came out (no its not garbage, people just have no sense of nuance) and master pieces like The Orange Box came out the same year.

Its 2013, you graduated college two years ago with a bullshit Journalism degree. The warehouse you were working in closed down. Mortgage and due, and your mother is "tired of wiping your ass". You have a stack of 50 PS2 games and 25 Xbox 360 games to drop off at the skeezy pawn shop and adult video store that you will miss dearly, and nothing but time.

>>716452415
>best selling
>isn't including FIFA
Look, dude, I know you're trying to make some "quality" sort of point, but you're just plain lying.

>>716456359

You're a newfag too. And you always will be.

>"You don't understand bro that shit is peak and retro"
Gen Z have no idea how good it was I feel bad for them being shoveled slop after slop each year

>>716456591
I admit it, at least I'm not defending fucking CODslop or Halo

>>716456359
You’re an election tourist since you don’t think the worst decline in board quality was 2016

>>716452415
Who the hell bought the PC version of Madden 2007? Who buys sports games on PC besides streamers?

>>716456667
I had tons of good threads on /v/ while ignoring the political war shitflinging every year since 2016 (just like I did during GG) UNTIL 2023, when having a good thread became literally impossible, it's literally incomparable

>>716456663
You call it slop, yet make no arguments as to why its slop.

>>716456563
Do you have any numbers?

>>716455902
Has been for the past 15 years
It's amazing how each year gets more worse and worse
How in the fuck is the world not imploding

>>716452160 (OP)
Who the fuck gets off at school at 2:15? You went to school in the middle of the night?

>>716456808
Imagine asking for reasons why COD is slop on /v/, this was unthinkable just a few years ago

>>716455657
WOW!
The Nintendo 64 ALWAYS came BUNDLED with EIGHT DIFFERENT games!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Just like the Nintendo Wii: Wii Sports!!!

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You must be a genius for posting that Wikipedia screenshot of semantics!!!!!!!

>>716456905
This lol. Happens. Gen Z & A are in charge of this board now after all

>>716452415
Gamers are the worst.

You niggers are a bunch of contrarians who hate things because they're popular. I've seen you time and time again call great games shit because you don't like that normies play them.

>>716456853
It kinda is but just really slowly. It also won't get better.

>>716452415
Kind of shocked oblivion and Skyrim weren’t the top of their respective years

>>716456893
My high school classes started at like 7:20 am, shit sucked.

>>716456893
I graduated high school as Class of '06.
NEVER did I get off that early.
Grade school, middle school, high school, military, private, public... I got to school sometime before 8 a.m., and the EARLIEST school ended was maybe 3:15 p.m.

BUT THEN
I went to CLUBS.
Music, orchestral, football, track& field, swim & dive, rowing, theatrical, journalism, student governing body, bowling, film, you name it and I tried it at some point. None of my schools had combat clubs, but I did attend more than a decade of different martials arts, too. Those clubs lasted HOURS and I didn't get home until after sunset most of the year.

And I loved it.
