Thread 12020962

Gen Xers had Donkey Kong
Gen Yers had Super Mario Bros.
Us, Gen Zers, however, had 2Battle.

I'm sorry.

I don't about that but I only just tried this game for the first time and I can see why so many of these guys drew or commissioned porn of Rouge when they grew up.

>>12020962 (OP)
There was more than one game released per generation...

>>12020962 (OP)
I had a PS2... so for me it's Sonic Mega Collection Plus and Sonic Gems Collection.

I was a late millennial and grew up with this game. Actual zoomers were 4 or younger when it came out.

Just recently tried to play this game again to have fun with the Chao garden, but really realizing how fucking terrible the actual gameplay is. Soundtrack and boob physics are banging though

Still seems dumb as fuck that SEGA never capitalized on the Chao garden somewhere else, it seems so obvious

Thinking back to it Sonic stole Mario's thunder this generation, the blue blur hitting the cube and gba was like 9/11 for the plumber.

Ya this game shits on sunshine

Damn i love this game. Treasure hunting stages are fun.

>>12023724
It also helps there's 2 compilations and 3 other 3d platform games to play.

SA2 mostly a zillenial game, not a zoomer one
The most zoomercore games are probably Minecraft, GTAV and Fortnite

>>12023720
To be fair, platformers weren't the zeitgeist anymore on 6th gen. The "new mario" that gen was GTA3 or one of those

>>12020962 (OP)
>Zoomers had All-stars racing transformed
FTFY

Who decides on a consensus for these?
Why is 1996 the cutoff for millennials? Why not 1994 or 1997?
I think it would make more sense to segregate people every 5 years max, someone born in 1981 would be comoletely different from someone born in 1996, who would be closer to someone born in the year 2000.

>>12020962 (OP)
How would you even have SA2B when you were a toddler?

>>12020962 (OP)
I had OG SA2 though.

>zoomers desperately trying to colonize late millennial culture because they realize how barren their own era is
Sad!

Oh don't be so naive, they absolutely were. Platformers were omnipresent. Sony made a point of it by having 3 major franchises get over a dozen games on a single console. They started to fall out of relevance shortly into the 7th generation. If anything the generic game of the 6th gen was still the platform action game, usually with a 3-hit-combo attack.

>>12024728
'95 and can confirm.

>>12024965
It's *somewhat* arbitrary but is defined by age groups, events and technological advances. I personally think that post-92 are proto-zoomers, they got social media as they got into secondary school.

>>12020962 (OP)
>2001 game
>zoomer
Millennials were the audience of this game

>>12025717
Naive? Do you know what that word means?
Anyway, by 6th gen platformers started mutating into 3rd person shooter hybrids, the genre just wasn't what kids wanted anymore. Kids didn't want to jump around surreal landscapes, they wanted to run around and shoot people on gritty urban settings.

>Gen Xers
>Millennials

Lmao, literally all the millennial autists grew up playing this game

>>12026647
>all the millennial
> grew up
Oldest Millenials were in the range of 14-20 when this game came out. They weren't growing up with this.

>>12026750
You don't think 14 year olds played Sonic?

>>12020962 (OP)
It do be like that fr

>>12026753
They played Sonic. They didn't think highly of it, though.

>>12026753
Not really "growing up" with it.

>>12021634
She's a shortstack.

>>12027410
She's a bit too big to qualify

>>12023724
have you played both games recently? sa2b has aged poorly to say the least. as a kid I genuinely liked sa2 way more than sunshine but replaying them now its the exact opposite.

>>12028650
She qualifies perfectly.

>>12020962 (OP)
Console games didn't vanish from shelves after the next generation ones came out, nor did old cabinets disappear from arcades when more modern ones were placed at the lounge.

I get what you mean however (that each generation was specially impacted by certain games), but you'd also have to take into account that generations operate in ranges.
E.g. Older millennials and younger gen X grew up with similar stuff, while older millenials and younger zoomers enjoyed more or less the same games and cartoons.

>>12028929
>while younger millenials and younger zoomers
Fixed.

>>12028929
>while younger millennials and older zoomers
Fixed.
