try the past decade
I feel like gaming is dying so fucking fast, considering that gen A have a gaint library of "old" free game so they don't have to consume anything new

Realism graphics is one of the worst things to happen to games

Ps2 library be like

Yes unironically. A lot of new games you can't even remember anything about them despite having a 100 gazillion budget and being perfectly optimized by a 1000 member team.

>if you say literally anything that isn't jerking off retro games then the thread is just "heh get filtered zoomer im so sick of zoomers zoomer zoomer"
>even something as innocuous as "hey any tips for this game? it's really hard", despite them praising retro games as being difficult, they seethe when i make a post or thread asking for help with difficult parts

kek I forgot that board existed, sounds like red*it without jannies

but for real tho, what "retro game" you find it to be really difficult?

But also just last night I made a thread saying nothing but "I'm having a hard time getting into Space Harrier", a pretty non-controversial thing to say, and of course the thread just devolved

I really missed that in muh vidya

Despite the polygonal graphics, the stylization makes this look incredibly appealing
Stylization and art direction is dead

Stylization is dead? Heh, not so fast

>>725096857
i remember this getting roasted en masse
trooncore

>>725095818
so it's exactly the same as here? not too surprising tbqh

>>725094045
games got so generic now

>>725094045
The only time games even remotely compare is when they're genuinely indie and they're made by one guy out of passion or whatever. And even then, it's just a different feeling to golden era triple A.

Fighting game and arcade fags are the absolute worst for this
>sigh yeah they just don't make em like they use to
Oh OK want to play some Third Strike literally right now?
>n-no im too tired and uh im too rusty but i was daigo tier back in the day bro trust me bro

>Stylization and art direction is dead
This. They just replaced style with realistic graphics and make no effort.

>urgh modern games are so soulless and boring and uninteresting
OK what have you been playing?
>valorant, apex, league, fortnite

god I hate this faggot so much

I recently played through Gothic and it was amazing. Risen was just on sale so I picked it up on Steam. Really looking forward to trying it.

The music and atmosphere of everything pre-7th gen is inarguably better. It's instantly clear even when you boot up some AA game most people have forgotten.

[GOOD ADJECTIVES]
>thing I don't like
[BAD ADJECTIVES AND POOP OR FOOD ANALOGIES]

Playing Titan Quest lately and years back I remember people bitching about it having aged graphics, and yet they're the peak of where we should have stopped. Games aren't a replacement for the real world and I really don't need detailed horse assholes to enjoy them.

>>725098815
Go into Risen with no expectations of it being Gothic, it's similarly structured at points but overall different.

>>725099183
Thanks. Really want to try Risen 2 because I like the piratey theme but I'm making myself play the first one first. Though I heard you don't really need to.

>>725099183
what
it's literally a gothic clone, same factions, same skills, same long distance travel system, same combat,
if a different company made it pb could sue them for plagiarism

>>725099343
>same combat

>>725094045
>play modern sequel to a game, it sucks
>play an entry in the same series from over a decade ago, its good
this is the case for literally every nintendo game, especially mario spin-offs
