Are you playing new slop or the old classics?

new classics

I can count the number of post-2010 games I've played on one hand

Just recruited Byleth in Fire Emblem Three Hopes since it's 60 FPS on Switch 2. Bought a new PC but barely touched it since non-Nintendo games wait until the Christmas sale.

zoomers not alowed

I am playing hgss and some mmo from 2006

Lots of good games come out every day, that being said right now I'm playing new classics like fpbp because I'm playing system shock 2, dread delusion, and project warlock 2

>>717189949
don't you have any PC frens that could share their Steam library with you?

>>717189648 (OP)

>>717190975
tempted to try tq2 but the first game was boring as fuck

>>717189648 (OP)
I'm playing old slop

>>717189648 (OP)
Mostly new games. I played most the old classics back in the day. I have no desire to go back to replay them. I haveover 600 games on steam. I've only played around 100-150 of them so always new games to play. Right now I'm trying to finish Trails to Azure and probably play FF7 Rebirth or SMT5 Vengeance. Maybe I'll go back and finish Yakuza Kiwami 2 idk. I don't feel like playing the third Yakuza game and I kinda want to wait for a remake. I haven't heard anything good about the third one outside of the soundtrack.

MX vs ATV Legends
it's pretty fun, like a rollercoaster version of dirt rally

>>717189648 (OP)
Been playing some new indie titles, Labyrinth of the Demon King, Mortal Sin, and Eye of the Commando currently. The latter is crazy as shit, a kind of turn based roguelike shooter that's a parody of 80's action. EA currently but I really like it, it feels very novel.
Thinking about another Mountain Blade playthrough as far as older games go.

>>717190975
tempted to try Neverwinter Nights. Thing is I guess I should start with the vanilla campaign but i've heard it's kinda shit.

>>717191606
You heard correctly. There's nothing redeeming about the base game's campaign at all. Shadows of Undrentide and Horde of the Underdark are pretty decent though, and there are gorillions of high effort custom modules

I play both new and old games. Ive been hooked on fire emblem the past couple weeks, played the 3DS games and am now emulating 3H
if the switch 2 FE is actually good I'll buy a Switch 2 and the game on Amazon and return them both within the return window

>42
Still playing Edens Zero. I will finish it this week. Got 60 hours of enjoyment out if it.
I want to play Stellar Blade, but don't normally enjoy playing same genre back to back. Thinking of playing Sakuna or Garfield Kart next.

guess I technically don't belong here yet but

this week is the first time I haven't felt shitty about the prospect of turning 30 in a few months. anyway faggy blogpost over, I'm playing:
>risk of rain 2
>warband
>oblivion
>emulating PS2 racing games

I'm currently replaying Divinity 2 because I realized last night that I haven't played it since just before it was released in NA.

Damn kids don't know how good they have it. Back in my day we had to translate cyrillic install instructions from a russian rip of a game with german audio and MTL subtitles.

>>717189648 (OP)
I swear threads like these are just faggots trying to raise the prices of retro games and line their pockets.

>>717194317
Yeah you don't belong here faggot, nobody asked for a blog entry about your weak ass mindset, nobody asked for a fucking diary entry, yeah sorry you were patient 0 for new vaccines that fucked you up and gave you autism, but us 30+ bros here are discussing video games not typing out diary entries like Anne Frank or some shit.

>>717194317
>op
whats games you playing
>anon
uhhh well you know i tried to kill myself and now i work retail and i have a degree and i have some friends sooooo

>>717189648 (OP)
Playing ffxiv atm, pretty excited for the patch in a few days

I've been playing a lot of Grim Dawn recently. Wasn't ever really into Diablo like games as a kid but Grim Dawn clicked for me. It's easy to make a build, if you fuck up, it's easy to reset your skills, the only thing you can't reset is your classes but from what I understand, every class combination is viable on the hardest difficulty. Really surprised to find out that they still plan to release another expansion later this year apparently.
I might give the new battlefield game beta a shot, if I like it and my friends pick it up I'll buy it since I really been in a mood for a shooter. I haven't played one in forever aside from TF2 on occasion.

Just got around to Monster Hunter World on my backlog, nice they removed denuvo.

>>717195178
Based wuk lamat enjoyer

Mass Effect 3 is ok

>>717195481
????

The more I visit /v/ and especially /vr/ the more I realise that most posters literally do not play games
It's hard, I want to keep posting with the bros on /v/ but at the same time my enjoyment of games significantly increases when I don't care about it

Playing NOTHING, waiting for PIGFACE but the release date is just listed as 'August' so it could be another few weeks.

>>717195796
most people do not play very many games, they'll stick to like one, which makes for poor discussion. thus the state of /v/.

>>717189648 (OP)
>43
Among new games I mostly play Elden Ring, Resident Evil remakes, Zelda, Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest.
Other than that it’s retro games and their remasters.

>>717189648 (OP)
I emulate 90% of the time nowadays, modern titles are too expensive, bloated and often agenda filled, I miss when video games where shorter and objectified women, also emulation's free no matter how much that makes Nintendo seethe, so retro it is for me.

diablo 2, FFXIV, warcraft 3 custom maps, and friends slop

The classics

>>717195186
Grim Dawn is pretty fun. It's a is a spiritual successor to Titan Quest, so I hope Titan Quest 2 winds up being really good.

>>717194734
?

Stardew, BF4, Distance, Trackmania

>>717189648 (OP)
I cycle between Red Alert 2, Quake, TF2, and Persona 4

Just turned 30
TF2 on the weekends mostly, or whatever the Party /v/an decides to play on Sundays. Occasionally UT04.
Every so often a single player game gets my attention. Finally 100%ed Death Stranding after 5 years.
Feel like my love of video games has tapered off, but I still like talking about them.

>>717189943
i want a candy cab so much

>>717189648 (OP)
Both actually.
Great time to be gaming at the moment

>>717189648 (OP)
It's a classic to me.

Old slop

>>717190975
How old is your son? My kid loved co-op pikmin 3 (he's 6)

>>717201212
>>717201682
DS is one of the few boomercore games released in the past decade.

>>717201682
>>717201212
>character is named sam porter
>he's a porter
Oh come on

How do I enjoy Death Stranding? I started it, absolutely adored the atmosphere and beautiful world, but the weird schizophrenic story and easy gameplay turned me off

>>717201824
Guess what kind of beer he drinks when he's not unleashing the beast

Just beat Jedi Academy over the weekend.
Also finished the Union campaign in Ultimate General: Civil War.
Started the CSA campaign on the next higher difficulty right away and it's so much harder it's not even funny.
Also still doing the Trade Federation campaign in SWGB.

>>717189648 (OP)
playing death end re;quest so new slop or whatever

Is Baldur's Gate 3 considered a new slop? If not, then only old games for me, 1998-2005 was the golden years. I still play newer games, like League of Legends, Skyrim and The Witcher 3, but those are as old as my daughters.

>31
elder true boomers what were ps1 days like? I enjoyed sh1 and would like to get into ps1 jrpgs

>>717202064
>is a game that came out last year considered new?
You're one of those Idiocracy tards who make a million kids, aren't you?

Playing Death stranidng 2 mainly. Trying to 5 star all the places and get the platinum.
Also playing Oddsparks and I just started Farming Together 2.

>>717201868
Play on Very Hard, and whenever you do standard orders, be sure to select Premium Delivery so you get actual requirements to your deliveries. A lot of them are actually challenging and require a ton of pre-planning to get done.
Don't take the story too seriously.

>>717202213
All this and you can play offline if you really want so you don't get any help from any other players.

>>717189648 (OP)
RIGHT NOW I am waiting for matchmaking in DESTINY 2, 11 players needed, fuck.

>>717202105
True boomers, like actual boomers, are people born from 1945-1950, i.e, the baby boom after world war 2
For some reason people born in the 90s who would now be 30-40 are called boomers for some reason

>>717189648 (OP)
I'm currently playing a fresh charmless and bell demon run in Sekiro.

>>717202387
some
>that 30 year old boomer
threads were constantly spammed on almost every boards a few years ago and here we are

>>717202387
Boomers were born 1946-1964.
My mother's a boomer and she got an Atari 2600 when she was in high school. She has a Nintendo Switch now and really likes Animal Crossing and Mario Kart 8.

>>717202531
Is she single

>>717202105
Everybody I knew had their PS chipped, so they could play pirated games. JRPGs weren't that popular in my social circle, it was wrestling, Tekken, Gran Turismo 2 and Toca racing. Syphon Filter for fans of shooters. But if you liked JRPGs and was bit of weirdo and social recluse, there were some awesome games, like Lunar 2, Xenogears, Legend of Dragoon and Vagrant Story - and the obvious FF and Suikoden.

>>717202597
No. My father is a first year gen-Xer (1965) and really likes Portal 1/2 and The Talos Principle on the Switch. He introduced me to Myst as a kid, puzzle games have always been his thing.

Heroes of Might and Magic 2. Roland campaign. I've spent the last 3 days (real life days) on one and the same mission. It's intense. I love that old school game experience where completing a single mission takes 10+ hours of your time, carefully planning every move. Slow your roll.
