Thread 718614674

I am a zoomer asking for good older game recommendations. I like platformers and jrpgs. Dont really enjoy roguelikes or open world type games but ill probably try anything. 2000s maybe to early 2010s, not sure how big of a net to cast so loose rules.
Thank you.

Eternal Sonata

>>718614674 (OP)
might want to try megaman X then

>>718614674 (OP)
definitely should try chronotrigger.

Polybius

>>718614674 (OP)
>platformer
castlevania 1 for the nes. masterclass in game design
>jrpg
not a fan of the genre but i really liked chronotrigger.
none of them are in the time range you suggested but i'd say try them regardless.

>>718614893
Ive already beaten chrono trigger actually. Was fun. Frog and Lucca were my fave chars.

>>718614805
Heard good things about X, 7, and 11.

>>718614674 (OP)
Have you tried Fortnite? Theres also Among us and Five Nights at Freddy's. Minecraft is also a classic.

>>718615085
I think I played a bit of castlevania 1 on an emulator a while back, never finished it though.

>>718614674 (OP)
troonlennials don't play video games so this is the wrong board to ask.
Most actually good and relevant games had two remasters/remakes at this point.

>>718614674 (OP)
Outrun 2006, Crazy Taxi, Burnout 3, 18 Wheeler American Pro Trucker, Big Mutha Truckers and SSX3.

>>718615330
I have tried all of those. I am dogshit at fortnite because I have horrid aim, so I only really play sinle player shooters. Among us isnt interesting to me any more. I have had minecraft for a long time, but I only recently actually 'got' it when I played it a year ago, still got bored after I got a diamond set. I liked making a nice looking house but I dont care enough to build a mega structure.

>>718614674 (OP)
Mass Effect series
Command and Conquer series

>>718615385
you should finish it, it's really easy but it punishes not learning the game, it was designed in a way where there is little challenge once you play in the arcade sense of learning the game and not trying to blaze through it, it's great design

>>718614674 (OP)
Don't waste your time and don't listen to nostalgicfags. Old games feel like shit to play.

>>718615504
2020's
fuck that list.

>>718615413
all of those remakes have issues or changes made. shut up.

>>718615606
finally you post something relevant.

>>718614674 (OP)
Heretic/Hexen just got a rerelease that was pretty good if you aren't a sub room temp IQ brainlet. Palworld continues to get updates and is still a good time despite tendie cope. Vampire Survivors if you need something to just chill while playing.

Legend of Zelda, oracle of ages/seasons or whatever that pair of games was.
GBC era, they were paired set kind of meant to be played by two people with a link cable for some extra stuff on the side.

>>718616210
>2020's
>fuck that list.
cope retard
most of the games in that list are way better than your unplayable fossils that belong in a museum
>all of those remakes have issues or changes
re4r mogs re4

mgs3r will mog mgs3
shall I go on unc?
nobody gives a shit about your old trash because it's unplayable and it aged like shit, nobody will go back to it after experiencing modern games, enjoy being stuck in the early 2000s like a senile faggot
>finally you post something relevant.
both you and I know that nobody will play a single game from that list

>platformers
Super Metroid and Abe Oddysee if atmosphere is most important.

>jrpgs
Final fantasy 7 if atmosphere if most important.


If atmosphere is not the most important I don't have any old games to recommend you. Atmosphere is kind of what old games did best.

>>718617397
>kid
>zoomer (aka the generation that is pushing 30yo soon)
the mind of a senile boometroon pedophile, everyone
>gets told to fuck off
rightfully so because I'm also a zoomer and I posted that image you senile retard, while all you did is whining like a bitch because you don't like some games
kill yourself
>NEW GAMES GOOD
they are much better than your old fossils unc, sorry to break it to you but this is just a fact, nobody wants to play unplayable zero QoL trash that barely runs on modern hardware because it's obsolete
if you had your time with it then it's fine, just don't project it over literally everyone because that's retarded

>>718615385
Just play fucking Symphony of the Night, basically everyone who likes Castlevania will tell you that's the best one, it's practically 30 years old now while not being extremely archaic like the first one is, and it might even scratch your jrpg itch a bit since it has a level up and equipment system. I don't know why the other anon would recommend the very first game, not only in the series, but also basically the genre itself.

>>718617615
>"wah I ignored the premise of the thread and got laughed at"
cry more, retard.

>>718614674 (OP)
there are also some oddball story/puzzle games like the neverhood that might be worth trying.
nevermind the depths of the flash archives.

>>718614674 (OP)
Beyond Good & Evil and Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath are my #1 recommendations.
Fable: The Lost Chapters
Metal Slug 3
Dark Messiah of Might & Magic
They're all dirt cheap during steam sales.

>>718617615
Nobody in their late 20s calls themself a zoomer whether or not it's accurate, when someone says "zoomer" everybody else pictures a kid.

just because a boomer pedophile pictures a kid when someone is talking about people that are pushing 30yo soon it doesn't mean that everyone else is doing the same

>>718618026
>retard is still crying after getting caught out being retarded.

>>718614674 (OP)
have you also considered some old RTS games with fun sandbox potential, OP?
RTS, warcraft, command and conquer, etc?

>>718614674 (OP)
Vandal Hearts 1 and 2.
Valkyrie Profile.
Growlanser Wayfarer of Time.
Avalon Code.
Der Langrisser.

>>718618247
keep kvecthing, just don't forget that I contributed more than (You) and this is driving (You) mad
up your game unc, you are getting left behind

>>718614674 (OP)
A bit outside your net, but the Wizardry and Ultima series are a pair of older western-developed RPGs that were the main influences on the JRPG genre. Don't let people meme you into trying Wizardry IV first.

>>718618352
you just dumped some images, most of which weren't relevant lol
you are only whining about this because you know you fucked up and are embarrassed about it.

>>718614674 (OP)
anyways OP have you tried super metroid?

>>718614674 (OP)
Final Fantasy 5 is cool, everybody likes the job system a lot in that one. 6 has a better story or at least more interesting characters. 7 is also good but its 3D graphics are kind of shit and take some getting used to.

Megaman Legends is a fantastic game and imo still holds up to this day, though its platforming is a lot less complex than the classic sidescrolling games.

It might be a bit too new for what you're looking for, but Titanfall 2 has easily one of the best FPS campaigns I've ever played, and it has quite a shitload of platforming.

SMT3 Nocturne is a good JRPG but it's punishing, hard, and you'll probably go hours at a time without any real plot developments happening.

If you've never played them you should at least try out Super Mario 64 or Sunshine.

>>718618352
You are brown.

>>718618471
>most
like 1 image out of three, with that image having less than half of the games present on each of the other two images?
why are boomertroons so stupid? is this generational?

unironically the older Pokemon games are solid JRPGs, though of course their stories are pretty simple.

very different and yet very similar games.

what the fuck is going on?
why is the zoomer and boomer having a meltdown?

>>718619892
I am just happily contributing like the god I am while some kid has a melt down because his three images weren't much of a recommendation.

>>718614674 (OP)
Anon, the best advice I can give you for old games, install a ps2 emulator and just go through crocdb and download everything that looks mildly interesting. Even the shovelware for that console was good to waste some time. You'll probably find that you enjoy every genre but they just all suck now. Also gamecube and xbox. Basically any console from that generation. You guys really don't know how much better things were at the peak and it's cool to see that at least some of you are interested in checking it out. Plus if you hook up an old 1tb HDD you can pretty much fit all the good games from their whole catalogue on it and not have to worry about disk space and disk speed. There are videos on setting the emulators up if you have trouble with it.
Godspeed bro please spread the word among your friends that the games used to be bussin no cap so that more of you stop accepting the slop they usually put out now.

>>718619981
>kid
zoomers are nearing 30 my man

The best JRPG between the 2000-2010 is without a doubt FF X

Nobody is referring to a 28 year old man when they say "zoomer."

>>718619884
keep posting your ancient fossils braindead oldtroon, it won't magically become any more relevant and your time is up unc

>>718620325
People here call Scott the Woz a zoomer all the time and he's 28.

Same shit I almost always say
>There's a Steam Sale
Get the Orange Box if you don't already have the games, it's still a really fucking good deal
>I have friends who are willing to play vidya with me
Pick up worms armageddon and mayhem, you don't need to buy multiple copies these days, you can use remote play.
>I want something niche, butt fun with no real preference for if it's good for multiplayer or single player
Pick up the Serious Sam games. They're seriously good and you can play them single or multiplayer

>>718614674 (OP)
I'll throw some suggestions, not just nostalgia goggles but actually decent games.

Guardian Heroes (sega saturn gem) - unique beat em up with multiple endings, characters, and a great soundtrack. The skeleton knight that helps you can nuke the entire screen. You can beat it in one sitting.

Megaman x4 - was a fun playstation game, haven't tried many others in the series but I heard X was a good one too.

Chrono trigger was already mentioned and you played it, great!

Zelda a link to the past

The first three sonic games, and sonic and knuckles expansion were definitely memory makers for a lot of kids. Great soundtrack

Metal Gear Solid (playstation) was very unique for its time.

Legend of the dragoon (jrpg)

Starcraft 1 and brood war. Real time Strategy with a great soundtrack, voice acting, and decent story. May as well throw in Diablo 2 for the same reasons.

Age of Empires 2. The definitive edition did alright with it. Command and conquer 1, red alert 1 and 2, and tiberian sun are all great. All strategy games with basebuilding. Lets throw in Warhammer Dawn of War because fuck yeah warhammer, and a good way to get into the universe.

OG Halo series (1-3) for your christian scifi mythology fix

Some anons already threw in some good suggestions since you like rpg stuff. There weren't as many good platformers as there are today, i can only think of a handful from an earlier era: vectorman, comix zone, one of the kirby games, that star one created by treasure games, any super mario game.

>>718620229
dont care, he is a kid throwing a tantrum as I shit on him using his own game.

>>718620391
sorry, WHO contributed more to this thread?
pretty sure I suggested a thousand titles.
you didn't even break triple digits.

>>718620408
I don't know who the fuck that is because I'm not a gay retard.

>>718620428
Ammending this post to say they don't let you remote play armageddon anymore, but it's like a buck on sale.

quality > quantity, boomertroon, I know that your kind has a hard time to understand this

>>718620835
not him but there are 90s games of quality
you just hate them because they are a decade too old for you
which is silly

>>718620893
>not him but there are 90s games of quality
fair
>you just hate them
I don't but whatever

>>718620956
then what's this about fossils and museums?

>>718620835
you mean the argument I made prior?
right here?
>>718616210
because you were trying to recommend a bunch of new shit?
only for you to start bitching HERE >>718616994
and then start crying and coping about how you "contributed more" >>718618026 ?
>"I contributed way more"

If quality counts you didnt recommend shit besides the one image.
meanwhile I linked my own "best of" list and kept making personal recommendations.
if quality DOESNT count like you originally bitched about, I contributed WAY more.

get shit on, kid.
>b-but 30
get shit on, KID

>>718621064
he thoughtlessly dumped some random image collections of games, most of them too new to be relevant, and threw a tantrum when this was "politely" pointed out to him.
so now he has to try and preserve his fragile ego by making up excuses.

>>718619202
Based and cultured.
Also go play G-Darius, Gaiares, and Blast Works (more polished version of Tumiki Fighters w/ 4-player co-op)

I (>>718621324) neglected to mention: Similar mechanics to Einhander. Stealing enemies' shot types (in the case of G-Darius and Blast Works, stealing entire enemies themselves, kek)

>>718614674 (OP)
iji

>>718614674 (OP)

If you're going to play old games, at least use shaders in Retroarch to mimic a CRT otherwise these games are going to look like hot dogshit. They look quite nice once you do. Retroarch is a bit weird to use at first but once you get the hang of it, it's the best and has the most features, like killing input lag. Watch tutorials if need be in setting it up.

JRPGs: FF1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, Chrono Trigger, DQ 1-5, 8, Lufia II, Earthbound, Suikoden II

Platformers: The Marios, Castlevania 1, 3, Rondo, SotN, Aria, Ninja Gaiden, Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2, Megamans and Megaman X, Super Metroid, Warioland 1-4, Kirby's Dream Land, Sonic 1-3 + Sonic & Knuckles, Revenge Of Shinobi

Other misc great games: Most of the Zeldas, LTTP, Ocarina to start. Resident Evil 1-4, Silent Hill 1-3, Kingdom Hearts, Dark Cloud 2, Banjo Kazooie, Streets Of Rage 1 and 2, Altered Beast, Golden Axe, Star Wars Rogue Squadron, F-Zero, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, LotR TT and Rotk, Warioware, Harvest Moon, Gunstar Heroes, Parasite Eve, Paper Mario 64, Star Fox 64

no argument there, just buzzweords and ad hominems as expected from a senile old fart
>only for you to start bitching HERE
as I said later, all was well and fun until you came up and started whining, again, thanks for ruining the thread but you lack the self-awareness to admit that you started it all, as expected from a senile old fart
>and then start crying and coping about how you "contributed more"
because it's literally true? it's a fact, undeniable fact
you then went into full meltdown and started dumping random fossils unprompted whereas that image had a curated selection of games, objectively best of the bunch in each year
you threw a tantrum just like a senile oldfart would do, congrats, sorry for hurting your fragile ego I guess
>If quality counts you didnt recommend shit besides the one image.
I know that literacy and education in general wasn't as popular with boomers but you count to two at least?

why are senile old farts so obsessed with kids? creep behavior

Yes, I'm aware of the irony in my replying.

>>718621768
>kiddie tears as he is forced to confront the reality of his own posts
cry moar, child.
I contributed more by both of your opposing metrics.

>>718618247
Id be down for some rts. The only 'real' experience ive had with it is the space and tribal stage in spore and what little ive heard of starcraft, I dont actually know much about the genre.

>>718621840
be an adult and hide the posts and recommend games then.
I was able to keep putting in recommendations while toying with the kid, you should be able to just ignore us and post.

>>718621892

he doubles down, as expected
kids out of nowhere, again
man you are fucked up fr

>>718621975
>hide the posts
I'd be hiding most of the thread, then.

>all this unironic spoonfeeding
Huh?

>>718618471
I havent tried super metroid, no.

>>718620462
>but actually decent games.
>lists incredibly bad games

>>718622134
Let's see your list

>>718621964
the competetive side of RTS is much more intense than the campaign side, so it can actually play VERY differently between the two.
I would try old old warcraft, starcraft as I said, and some others.
starcraft battlechest is available as an ISO file on internet archive in its original form
before blizzard fucked with it, before the map editor was removed, etc.

>>718622037
cry more, kid.
you never once posted your own recommendations. only some screencap someone else made.

>>718622112
oh dude DEFINITELY try it.
thats one of the more influential games on platformers as a whole.
feels fun.

OP, if you end up playing Gunstar Heroes and liking it, I'd recommend the following:
Bleed 2
Spectacular Sparky
Astro Boy: Omega Factor

Silent Hill 3 and the first three Metal Gear Solid games are honestly must plays, in my opinion.

The original Spyro trilogy will likely scratch your platformer itch.

Borderlands 2 for more modern game, the peak of looter shooters.

Not all of these are retro but, if you have local friends, I'd recommend most of these. (well, some are dead, like Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, but I put it in this chart because of nostalgia)

>>718622043
if you are gonna be contributing, does that really matter?
seeing what OP replies are is more important.

>>718622270
oh, isn't there a thing you can get to downgrade bl2 to before that strange patch with the new EULA about spying on you?
probably some ISO's out there of its release version as well.

>>718622184
No? If OP really cared what he should do is this
https://archive.org/details/snesromsetcompleate
I played every single one of these games. Just went through em and played em all. You can't just spoonfeed people nonstop, a lot of these threads aren't even genuine. There's no guarantee OP intends to play even a single game in this thread and its odd how desperate "boomers" are to groom the younger generation into retards. To me, there is no value in discussing a game I already discussed to death 20 years ago with someone who only understands it on a superficial level anyways. It is more valuable to me for people to play new games. You can play 1000 old games, but you'll have less value to me than someone who went on the new releases page on steam and downloaded a random game.

>>718622191
>you never once posted your own recommendations.
just because I didn't type the specific name of the game in a post it doesn't mean that it's not my recommendation if I agree with it
it's just a more effective way of conveying information
>some screencap someone else made.
as opposed to... articles wrote by someone else? what's your point unc

besides why are we pretending as if any other recommendation wasn't alrady included in that image if it covers the best of the bunch anyway?
are there only 20 games each year worth playing? absolutely not, but you should start with those first because why wouldn't you play the best of the best
and no saying
>muh shit games
is not argument as to why they are bad or shouldn't be included
just like
>normieslop
is also not an argument
the ps1 sold 100 million+ units, how is it not mainstream and peak normieslop, by that definition?
if you keep latching on the old good new bad then there's nothing to talk about (notice that the opposite is actually true)

>>718622512
I imagine there is a mod or something like that that could help bypass all that weird spyware shit.

If not emulating or playing on older hardware offline would probably work.

>>718614674 (OP)
Red faction 1
Red faction guerilla
Half life 1
Half life 2
Deus ex.

I recommend immediately playing Half life 2 plus episodes 1 and 2. Probably one of the best games of all time. Red faction guerilla is a sleeper hem that nobody knows about. No games have ever achieved that level of physics simulation since.

>>718622638
So you're here to just shitpost you anime avatar faggot? And you're autistic enough to play EVERY GAME, including the shittiest ones? Yeah don't share your stupid list and fuck off. You already assume the worst and brought yourself here to waste time.

>>718622824
>cope cope cope cope
don't care, I contributed more than you.
both in personal recommendations, best of lists, and overall.
stop crying about it kid.

and stop inventing things I never said to you to argue about. its fucking pathetic.

>>718622882
the mod I am thinking of that does it specifically downgrades BL2 to the version prior to the update.

>>718614674 (OP)
Legend of Zelda link to the past
Super Mario world
Starcraft brood war

>>718622982
>You're autistic enough to actually play video games!? No, OP should play what youtubers told me to play!

>>718623008
zero cope keep kvetching
zero self awareness and profound mental retardation
btw I didn't invert anything because you pointed out your own posts, if you want to dismiss your own words then go ahead you are welcome

>>718621613

I forgot to add PC games. Blood, Duke Nukem 3D, Half Life 1, Opposing Force, Blue Shift and Half-Life 2 /w EP1 and 2, Bioshock 1 and 2(some like Infinite, I don't), System Shock 2, Deus Ex, Doom 1 and 2, Quake 1 and 2, Star Wars, Knights Of The Old Republic 1 and 2, Starcraft Brood War, Diablo II, Warcraft 3 and TFT, Max Payne 1 and maybe 2, Portal 1 and 2, Serious Sam TFE and TSE, Return To Castle Wolfenstein, Thief, Stalker series

>>718622982

You know, there's merit to deciding what's good and what's shit yourself instead of having others curate your entire life for you.

>>718623189

its amazing how I kept contributing this entire time
and all you have done is cry like a bitch.

oh fuck OP definitely should try KOTOR.

yawn he doubles down again

The GOAT if you haven't already played it

I had to get a drink. Thank you all for all your reccomendations. I dont know why people are arguing about the definition of zoomer but if it helps im 23.

>>718623124
Lol what?

>>718614674 (OP)

System Shock 2. Nightdive just released a remaster of it as well. One of the GOATs.

nah, just that one kid who has no contributions of his own being salty.
if you hadn't played stuff from the 2000's it was obvious you were on the younger end of the generation, but nobody caring about it had the brains to think of that.

hope you have fun with your games, bro.
remember though if you go for starcraft, go for the battlechest ISO.
you get starcraft, broodwar, and the map editor blizzard removed.

>>718623462

Modding is usually just a matter of following instructions. As long as you can use a PC even semi-well and aren't a complete retard, you should be fine.

>>718623248
Of course, I was curious to see what this nigger would suggest. Many of us had played what I have in the past, I certainly did not think they were garbage. I had a good childhood and played some good vidya, and I suggested what I had played, thats that.

>>718622970
Ive beaten half life 1, not half life 2 yet. Not sure what red faction is. Heard good stuff about deus ex.
>>718622347
Ive played catherine and catherine full body, i have tf2 but im shit at aiming.
>>718622270
Ive played all metal gears up to five. I dropped 5 2 whatever its called, I didnt really like the open world elements and having to wait irl time for upgrades. I havent played any spyro or crash yet.
>>718623515
I played and finished Luigis mansion 1.

>>718623551

Sounds good on paper. Problem is, I might be a complete retard kek.

>>718623751
>I played and finished Luigis mansion 1.
Did you enjoy Luigis Mansion? What did you like about it?

>>718623406
This is the proto-bioshock right? What is it like in comparison? I enjoyed bio1 and 2 and even infinite kinda.

>>718623895

Yes. This is the progenitor of BioShock and countless other games.

>>718623845
I enjoyed it. It was more linear than I was expecting it to be than what ive heard about it in discussions vs 2. I liked the feel of slowly clearing out and collecting the whole house of stuff, finding secrets. The combat was a bit meh but its servicable.

>>718623895
>This is the proto-bioshock right
It's basically ground zero for generic action adventure slop

>>718617673
>basically everywhere who likes Castlevania will tell you that's the best one
Well that's just fucking wrong even if we aren't talking about CV1. Classicvania is an entirely different beast from the sotnlikes and even if I do enjoy those games I would 100% always say I prefer the classic gameplay with Rondo or CV3. CV1 is still a great game, even as a zoomie I never felt the oh so clunkiness besides the Death fight, but it's not like you can ever be set back too hard in those games when you have infinite continues, besides bloodlines.

>>718624153
Did you know that it was inspired by a certain famous mansion exploration horror game which received a very highly praised remake on the very same console

wow this thread just keeps getting worse

>>718624324
Re1? Yeah ive heard about it. I always put it off because I dont really find Chris or Jill as interesting as any of the other protags.

>>718624741
Might want to not put that off any longer

>>718623273
Is KOTOR good enough standalone even if I dont really give a fuck about star wars?

>>718624868
its pretty good, yeah.
you don't need to know starwars to get it, and its set deep in the past to avoid getting into what starwars lore was around at the time.

>>718624868

Definitely. I think Star Wars is kinda dogshit, but KOTOR was genuinely just a great game.

>>718616994

Oh no.
He's retarded.

>>718624205

You pretty much said what I was going to say to him but decided not to. Ya, to me 1, 3 and Rondo are the best Castlevanias and I prefer the old series of games before SotN.

>>718617298

>>718624868
Hell no lmao, it's barely even a video game lol. You can literally drop your controller and go make a sandwich during combat and it will resolve itself. This is part of the problem with asking for recommendations, because a lot of those answers are going to come from idiots.

>>718614674 (OP)
JRPGs and platformers are things I never played back then since I just played PC games and they didn't seem particularly popular on the platform, so I'm just going to rattle out a bunch of games I loved in the 2000-2010 period, simply in the order in which they come to mind.

Warcraft 3
Half Life 2 (1 as well but it's before 2000)
C&C Red Alert 2
C&C Generals
C&C 3
VTMB: Bloodlines
GTA: San Andreas
GTA: Vice City
SW: Knights of the Old Republic (1 & 2)
Quake 3 Arena
Unreal Tournament 2004
RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 (1 is amazing too, but it's older an 2 basically has everything 1 has)
Guild Wars
World of Warcraft (I played up to The Burning Crusade)
Diablo 2 (1 as well, but it's older)
Mass Effect series (3 is after 2010 and kinda the worst in the series)
Dragon Age (only the first)
Battlezone 2 (1 is also good, but before 2000)
Rise of Nations
Heroes of Might and Magic 5
NFS: Underground 1 & 2
Team Fortress 2
Portal
Ballance
Doom 3 (not as good as the classics, but I really liked it as a teen)
Serious Sam series
Dawn of War
Left 4 Dead
The Witcher
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (the entire related trilogy is alright)
BloodRayne
Empire Earth
Neverwinter Nights 2
Dungeon Siege
FEAR
SpaceChem (not sure whether this was pre-2010 or slightly after)

I can probably spit out more games if I think about it longer, I probably forgot some good shit too, but that's a pretty wide selection of games and genres already I'd say. You can probably find something enjoyable from the time period.

>>718624175

>generic action slop
>System Shock 2

2000 contrarian credits have been deposited into your account.

>>718621613
I forced myself through ff1 and it was pretty rough for me. Ive never heard of Lufia. Ff and DQ are on my list since I played ff7 normal and dq11. Ive played all the zeldas up to minish cap, spirit tracks is my favourite from childhood. Ive been meaning to play ttyd and paper mario as well.

A friend gifted me the his kh discs but ive never been able to get into them since I was never a disney kid.

>>718625507
Thank you. What makes rollercoaster tycoon so great? I hear a lot of nostalgia about it. Personally I had zoo tycoon as a kid, which was fun. VTMB is also on the list.

A friend of mine reccomended me fallout and mass effect and I didnt really like fallouts open world roaming style so I never really followed through with mass effect.

>>718626363
I genuinely believe it created the framework for every modern goyslop today

>>718626593

Okay, I'm willing to entertain the notion you actually believe that. Color me curious. How exactly?

>>718626407
I wouldn't force yourself to play rpg crap, man. Those people are nuts. I also think limiting yourself to 2000s and 2010s is a mistake, a common misconception about how old things work. The very first thing I would do, if I was a clueless newfag, would be to set up GZdoom immediately. This is something everyone with PC should have. OpenRCT2 is okay to fuck around in as a sandbox if you want to build rollercoasters from hell, but honestly OpenTTD is far better and an actual video game about logistics and maximizing efficient throughput through industry chains, and if you like that you can wrap back around into modern games and play factorio.

>>718626407

FF1 is rough and requires grind. The early DQ games are like FF1, they are more jrpg'y so you may not like but idk. Try FF6 or Chrono. The grind in those games is basically non-existent and are heavy on story, unlike FF1. Lufia 2 has zero random encounters, monsters walk on the map and the game has crazy puzzles. Very fun game. Paper Mario for 64 is great. Not very hard or anything but just comfy and a good time. Kingdom Hearts can be a bit cringe with the Disney stuff but underneath it is a solid Squaresoft game.

>>718625507
oh fuck yeah
OP try out Dungeon Siege and its expansion, Legends of Aranea.
that stuff is up in ISO form on archive as well.

>>718625345
Thats a neat list, i see you removed some games like Ultima 5, Red Alert 2 and Jagged Alliance 2. And if i remember you had Path of Exile 2 instead of 1.

I wonder how your list looked like lets say 10 years ago, would be interesting to see.

Anyway i will treat this as a recommendation list, if you don't mind i want you to tell me which games i should play from your list if i want games with good level design, atmosphere and freedom to play. for example i see a lot of platformers in your list and while i enjoy some of them i tend to not care that much about them, just overall not my type or those anime games either. But i see some games that i never played and i may buy them if you recommend them to me.

Here's the games i liked from your list.
>Doom
>System Shock
>Portal
>Stalker
>Deus Ex
>Serious Sam
>Souls
>Thief
>Sekiro
>Resident Evil Remastered
>Baldurs Gate 3
>Half-Life 2
>Hollow Knight
>Counter Strike

Here's games i didnt like or felt meh about
>Cave Story
>Celeste
>Ace Combat
>Quake
>Path of Exile
>God Hand
>Devil May Cry 5
>Donkey Kong Country


The rest i didn't play
Based on this what games i should consider from your list?

>>718624550
It's always the same deal with these guys. Every flashy open-world, checkbox-filled AAA release gets shilled into oblivion day one, and then three months later nobody's talking about it anymore. Meanwhile, actual timeless games just sit there unplayed because they didn’t get a photorealistic trailer with sad piano music. “Favorite” to them just means “most recent slop I didn’t refund.”

>>718628624
Firstly, if you haven't, go play community Doom wads. Sunlust, Scythe 2, Speed of Doom, Ancient Aliens, Plutonia 2, 10x10, Overboard, Golden Souls, Going Down, etc. There are too many people who say they like doom and haven't really played it. Secondly, and I keep saying this again and again, people need to play different genres. The brain is elastic, if you don't use it then it will become brittle, stiff, and unable to enjoy things. Its wrong to look at games like "I enjoyed this game, what are other games like it", anyone can easily figure that out themselves and trying to chase identical highs arbitrarily is a grave error. Rather, you should be looking at genres you don't play and figuring out how to get into them. For example, Unity of Command 2 is a good entry point into wargames, touhou is a good entry into shmups, etc. The more genres you play, the higher the likelihood there is that there will be something new for you to get excited about.

>>718629683
Wow thats a list of Doom mods that i missed, i enjoyed playing the games but i never thought about downloading mods or alternative versions. I will definitely try those.

I do play different genres, but over the years i found i have a preference for certain ones. like i enjoyed Super Mario Galaxy games and i liked a hat in time and ori games, but i never found a platformer that made me enjoy gaming as much as other genres like roleplaying, fps and horror.
Maybe you are correct that i didn't play the best ones from those genres yet, but im now at an age that i have little time and while money is not an issue i still dont like spending money on games that turn out to be disappointing.

Is there any platformer on your list that will probably blow my mind?

>>718630506
>Is there any platformer on your list that will probably blow my mind?
Well I guess you like FPS games so play Neon White because its an FPS/platformer hybrid that's pretty straight forward about the actual appeal of platforming.

>>718630649
I appreciate the recommendation, thanks

I had my eye on Legend of Grimrock 2 as well and Arx Fatalis because i enjoyed Dishonored and this is from the same developer, but you said something interesting about trying some new stuff, so i will go with that for now.

>>718614674 (OP)
Don't bother kid.

>>718614674 (OP)
Dark Cloud 1 & 2

>>718626407
RCT is just a very well-made game. I suppose at its core it's like most building games, it's free-form to a large degree and the fun comes from the satisfaction of building something cool and beautiful that also works well in the game's systems. The game has a crazy amount of rides and attractions, it has beautiful music and beautiful, charming, highly detailed graphics. It's cool to make a rollercoaster which gets high ratings, then constantly has a full queue and prints money for you, or synced dueling coasters, 'secret' park areas only reachable through underground tunnels (loved these as a kid), rides that stretch throughout the entire park and intertwine with everything else you built, little areas that serve no purpose other than looking aesthetic and pretty much everything you can imagine. It's a beautiful game with amazing atmosphere and it gives you a lot of freedom.

The different scenarios and levels are also, as far as I remember, pretty decent at giving you different objectives and challenges to beat that make you play the game differently. It's not all pure sandbox.

>I didnt really like fallouts open world roaming style so I never really followed through with mass effect
They're not significantly alike. I tried Fallout 3 and dropped it quickly as well. I always thought Bethesda's open-world games are largely bland and shallow, thought that's not a very popular opinion. Didn't play 1 & 2 at all, not for any reason, they just passed me by. Mass Effect isn't much like Fallout 3, it's not a huge open world or anything like that, you just fly your space ship to different planets or space stations and such, it's a lot more focused than Bethesda open-world games.

honestly op youre best off listening to mahirofriend
hes the only actual og 4chan anon on this site anymore
i wish i could play vidya with him but sadly he doesnt wanna interact with anons outside of 4chan because of a dumb situation
