it's been a while since we had one of these threads

post poser-core retro games, bonus points if the game in question is a legit bad game not deserving of any praise

Final Fantasy VII & X
Half-Life
The Legend of Zelda
but... I think those are "normie-core" based on your SH2 example...
Earthbound
King's Field

>>12025652
>Poser Fantasy
>Half-Poser
>The Legend of Poser
>Poserbound
>Poser's Field

Whatever game of the week youtuber algorithm shit is making the rounds, is a poser game, until people move on who didn't give a shit about it before and latch onto the next shilled talking head game.

>>12025659
>>Poser's Field
Hey that's me. I learned about FromSoft only after Dark Souls (not even Demon Souls), and didn't look into King's Field until a couple of years ago (because of Lunacid). So yeah, I'm the definitive normie in that regard.

the goat. maybe 10% of the people who fellate this piece of shit ever played it

>>12025669
>because of Lunacid
anon... you should keep this to yourself...

>>12025652
Earthbound and KF maybe, but how the fuck are FF7, FFX, HL and any LoZ game "poser-core"? They're extremely popular games that were in the top selling games on their platforms. They're extremely normie-tier and have mass market appeal

Planescape: Torment

>>12025669
>didn't look into King's Field until a couple of years ago (because of Lunacid)

you are worse than a poser, you are ''may janny won't ban me for uttering this word'' a tranny

>>12025669
>I'm the definitive normie in that regard.
As long as you're not overly loud about it or shouting that you're a FromSoft fan or a hardcore Souls-like faggot or anything like that, it's all good.
There's nothing wrong about rediscovering games, but it is wrong to make it part of your persona and be so damn loud about it.

>>12025675
hl1 wasn't that much ahead of its contemporaries at the time, but it's the first and most favorite game any "boomer shooter" troon played as a first-party title on pc's biggest drm platform

>>12025675
Read the whole thing you dumb fuck:
>but... I think those are "normie-core" based on your SH2 example...
Are you stupid or just retarded, Anon?

>ANYTHING THAT ISN'T ON MY SNEZZ IS POSERCORE!!!
This shit is the same in every fucking thread

>>12025675
>how the fuck are FF7, FFX, HL and any LoZ game "poser-core"?
Because you can just say that you like those games and come off as a "true" gamer. They are the safest options.

>>12025675
popular and succesful games can be poser-core too
Vice City is a prime example, there is no way modern zoom zooms and underage faggots played VC from start to finish, many didn't even play it at all

>>12025692
but anon the poser-core game in OP pic is on the SNES

>>12025675
hl1's 1.5mil are not that much ahead of its 1mil contemporaries, but it's the first and most favorite retro fps that any "boomer shooter" troon played as a first-party title on pc's biggest drm platform

bonus poser points if they didn't care one bit about blood, quake, quake 2 and heretic before the nosedive remasters

Metroid Prime

>>12025749
wrong image sorry

>>12025741
Metroid Prime shares as much in common with Halo as Skyrim does.

Xenogears
Bangai-o
Jet Force Gemini

>>12025646 (OP)
any vidya RPG retro or otherwise with a "cult" fanbase (i.e. morrowind, vampire the masquerade: bloodlines, EYE, new vegas, etc.) tends to be full of posers who never even played the games and just meme/parrot whatever their favorite content creator said.

at least with DnD shit like baldur's gate or one of the pathfinder vidya you know it's all faggy theater kids & autistic munchkins.

>>12025716
>Metroid Prime

>>12025778

excellent choice, though the OST is fantastic

Morrowind

It's a good game though

>>12025719
I've played this and it's a pretty good action-adventure game. Sucks that people are so neurotic about it

>>12025769

>There's nothing wrong about rediscovering games
I still feel that I somewhat fucked up by ignoring their previous games for so long for no good reason. I did the same with original Thief games, and when I finally played them, I felt even more stupid.

>>12025715
i forgot how this overnight became the greatest game ever made just because of one youtube video

>>12025776
Tell that to '03 tendies.

>>12025780
Morrowind fags seem to actually know their shit, many of the memes they post are only comprehended if you played the game yourself
VTMB is a great game but yeah many frauds, poseurs and perpetrators jerking off to Jeanette without knowing the bitch disappears from the game after leaving the first city
EYE is a pseudo-core, but then again there is very little difference between pseudo-intellectuals and posers
Troon Vegas is one of the most modded games ever (far more than Oblivion or Morrowind) people do play it indeed, Fallout 2 is the true poser-core

Brian Fargo's Wasteland

>>12025808
>Fallout 2 is the true poser-core
B-but Fallout Sonora

>>12025795
this except the original

I dunno, maybe people just like different stuff than you. And you can't play a game without bringing part of yourself and your circumstances in with you, so while we are experiencing the same 1s and 0s, we're having vastly different experiences, and all those experiences are valid and what makes any discussion or community worth being part of is respecting that?

>>12025829
being a poser is about pretending to like stuff to make yourself seem more interesting or to fit in

Agreeable post, snesfags are their own worst enemy. Hard to forget that thread where someone asked for recommendations and it was just 60 posts of snesfags shitting on OP for daring to ask for some games on their favorite console and he should know them already. Funniest thing was when they were called out on it they said "sega and turbo fags would do the same thing" despite there being a thread with 40 replies demonstrating they don't do that and just suggest games and discuss them.
>I’ve never played the game but I always make fun of it for being an unfinished novel/slideshow simulator.
What you should know is it doesn't get bad on disc 2, it gets bad in the prison and never recovers. Also before that point it's never particularly good.

>>12025646 (OP)

and I actually like Chrono Cross which many put in the same bag

well yeah I don't watch anime, duh

Super Smash Bros. Melee, at least after EVO 2013

>>12025865
>you like that game but you never played it? it doesn't matter bro it sold MILLIONS you don't have to play it to be a fan!

How is Darkstalkers never mentioned on these threads?
Morrigan must be the most cosplayed vidya character ever, and exactly 0% of these cosplayers have played a single Darkstalkers game.
Anyway I don't really get most of the posts here, especially those claiming systems like snes are poser, you guys need to get off the console wars.

>>12025796
I played through all the Marathon series a few years back and I can safely say the only decent one is Durandal. 1 is such a fucking mess in the latter half and it never ends. Infinity has some great ideas but is such a chore to play.

When the multiplayer reboot comes out I think you're gonna get a lot of dorks pretending they were huge fans of the originals.

>>12025907

Dread is the best selling game, all Prime games struggled to break even back then and now after Prime's debut release.
We only got FPS Metroid because Nintendo was too retarded to just get their geniuses to make a N64 Metroid in vein of Mario 64 and OoT.

>post poser-core retro games
Literally any retro game either
>with a small but dedicated fandom/cult following
or/and
>obscure but aesthetically pleasing
The attosecond a remake gets announced or a popular streamer makes a video about it.
It's the inevitable fate of all obscure retro games that don't look like shit and are decent enough to be playable.

That said, you should try to not care too much about it.
Even if the new "long time fans" ruins the game's discussion or with the remake's sales numbers convince the developers to make sequels that betray the originals, NOTHING they do can tarnish the quality of the classic games or prevent you from replaying them.
Besides, new players (even if partially motivated by "status" within their discussion places) always bring the opportunity for the game gaining new fans who got genuinely hooked by it.

>>12026220
Besides, if you really want to be strict about it, ALL decent or/and visually appealing games get posers when they come out.
Most people who play video games are normies who play casually and who naturally like to tell their friends about whatever title they just bought and are playing. It's unavoidable, so the logical course of action is to not give a shit and just enjoy the games you like.

Based on OP's image, I assume he is using "posercore" to mean "games which have a lot of fans who have never really played the game itself, or at least not beaten it." As in, they like talking about the game and how cool and deep it is, buying memorabilia, looking at fanart, etc, but their exposure to the actual game might amount to nothing more than watching longplays or reading what other people have to say about it.

>>12026383

>>12025857
every nigger in this thread is talking about games that are mainstream, popular and a lot of people have played, and are even easily accessible to this day. If that's your average /vr/etard's definition of poser-core, every game that's ever existed is poser-core.

>>12026383

That's every single popular and semi-popular game since the hobby became mainstream, especially with a lot of people mostly from the newer generations choosing to watch Let's Plays of the latest releases rather than playing them.

How does the SH2 remake stack up against the original? I'd like to play it, but I'm too cheap/spend too much on old games, so I still don't have a PS5 or even a decent modern TV.

>Troon Vegas is one of the most modded games ever
buddy, it's not even the most played/best selling fallout.

NVfags are just a deafeningly vocal minority that has only gotten louder due to the TV show being set out west and no new singleplayer game in like almost 10 years.

>Fallout 2 is the true poser-core
this but for all the classic fallout games in general. most classicfags nowadays are just NVfags trying to earn grognard cred within their circlejerk spaces.

>>12025646 (OP)
Just popping in to read all the videogame scholars claiming games that sold millions and were critically acclaimed are for posers.

>>12026556
the main complaint is that they turned the gameplay into a combat slog, it loses the semi adventure game run past enemies element of the original 3 games that helped keep the pacing light. you need to kill everything and there's alot of stuff to kill.

>>12025670
It's good?

I think posers are either attracted to simple but hard games like shmups and beat'em ups to appear "hardcore", or to complex and boring games like CRPGs to appear smart

Me? I have no problem admiting I never 1CC'd a shmup and only play them once in a while for the music and graphics

I mean...I don't see how someone is a "poser" by playing popular slop. They generally have to be commercially failed titles, or titles that were only mild successes back in their day, while both still have to have some sort of appeal through excessive praise or niche oddity.

Cosmology of Kyoto is the most recent example of a poser-core game.

my taste morphed to match posercore. I like games with slower adventure pacing, 90s genre fiction writing, and that play around with connecting procedure and navigation instead of just streamlining all of it away in service of QoL. most of the games that fit that bill are poser tier.

It gets brought up due to the American film critic Ebert as well since he has mentioned that game.

The first three silent hill games could be considered poser core.
I would also say that the original Pokemon games (mainly gen 1-3) are poser core now with kids born after 2000. Lots of kids love Pokemon but few have actually played the games. Most only collect the cards or watch nuzlocke runs.
Sonic adventure 2, jet set radio future, animal crossing GC, and SOTN are also games I would consider poser core.

Ok, long story short, I have been calling it the PSX since you weren't even born and I will keep calling it the PSX until the day I die.

Age of Empires 2. I know it doesn't seem like it, but you see many people talking about the good old times when they would hear priests doing wololo sounds, except that's an AoE 1 thing, revealing they never played either. Or just in general telling you they loved the game, but if you ask anything about it, it's clear they only played it a few times at most, ages ago.

Add Garou to this too, as the new game has shown. Also add CvS2, MvC2 and, now that I think about it, the fighting game genre is really good at creating this effect. Definitely also add Melty Blood and Tsukihime (not really a game, I know) because Neco Arc has 10000% more fans than the games she's from.

>>12027230
fighting games are a special olympics discipline for troons, chinks and niggers

>>12027230
Fighting games tend to require more dedication and effort from the player than is usually required when it comes to other regular games all for the sake of skill, but their aesthetic appeal tends to put people into this caveat where they pretend they really like it when they don't even like playing it at all.
Shmups and SRPGs are pretty demanding as well for example, but normalfags just don't care about them because they're too nerdy.

>>12027272
Yeah, actually getting good at most fighting games requires a lot of time investment, but conversely they're also some of the flashiest, where even if you're not good, you can typically experience all the stages, characters, music, and design relatively quickly (pick a character, lose, choose another character, repeat), plus a lot of the plot and backstory is revealed in ancillary material, which you read without having to actually play the game.
>>12027187
>Pokemon
Yeah, I would not be surprised if a lot of late zoomers collect the old games, but don't really play them (or at least not legitimately), because they're too slow, archaic, and broken. I get the feeling that D/P/Platinum are the oldest that most of them are willing to go.

>game is rare because it doesn't sell well (usually) because it sucks
>game then becomes "good" because it's rare, e-celebs boost it, pretty soon it's 4 or 5 figures
There should be a name for this scam.

>>12025859
This and various version of Street Fighter 2.
Challenge anyone to a set in Street Fighter 2 when they start praising it as the best game ever, especially if It's some /v/irgin contrarian using the OLD GOOD NEW BAD shit, they'll instantly fucking fold.

That's what I love about fighting games.
There's no hiding.

If you are a poser about some single player videogame, I can't really call you out for it.
If you're a poser about fighting games, we can run the set and see if you're as good as you say you are.

You don't have to be a tryhard tourneyfag to enjoy a fighting game

>>12027498
You don't. But I don't want to hear your opinions on fighting games if you suck at your favorite one.
I'm specifically talking about people who call new fighting games casualized or some other cope, meanwhile they wouldn't even be C rank on Fightcade in 3S or SSFT2.

I suck at retro fighters and I can wash most of the retards who glaze them.

>>12025796

Modern fighting games are homo because they have become cancerous drip-feed games-as-a-service shit, just like fps.

The answer is always Touhou. Pretty much its entire identity as a franchise is based around a majority who like the characters, but are not even aware of what the source material is.

Fate/Type-Moon stuff also falls into this category.

>>12025669
Found KF through Lunacid too. Lunacid is fucking awful in retrospect. Never played a Souls

>>12027513
>I'm specifically talking about people who call new fighting games casualized or some other cope, meanwhile they wouldn't even be C rank on Fightcade in 3S or SSFT2.
That means nothing. By casualizing games they make them less fun even for casuals funny enough. For example, I only ever played GG locally with friends, mashing in my PS2 Accent Core copy. A cool thing about that game was the super fast air movement. And I liked to play Sol because he has a command grab that launches into a combo, and even a simple follow up looks and feels cool. But I also know that if I watch a tournament, I'm gonna have my mind blown by seeing things I don't even know are possible. Now you pick Strive and sure, I will still suck at it and a pro will still destroy me no matter what. But they severely slowed air dashes, and Sol can no longer combo after his command grab without spending meter which is not even top 10 among cool moves that got removed or simplified. This means I don't want to buy it even to mash around. And in terms of combos, I don't want to lose to another casual who was doing the same combos to me that I saw the day before at a tournament, that makes it less special.

>>12027595

Not Future. They renamed it Jet Set Radio in the US halfway into development so they could get the JSRF abbreviation. Also the in-game radio station is still Jet Set Radio in all versions of the original.

>>12027669
A lot of people like to wax poetic about Outrun c2c, moreso than any other racing game. That's a big tip off for poser-friendly territories.

What a boring and miserable concept for a thread.

>>12027661
>That's an improvement over buying the same game over and over again like how it used to be.
Hell no it isn't. Companies expect you to pay more for an unfinished release that they are constantly tweaking, yet rarely ever getting a truly satisfying result in before they inevitably drop it and move on to a sequel, while also trying to get away with doing the bare-ass minimum when it comes to features that ship with it(or ever get added) and charging for little pieces of content where they can of stuff that would have just been features or unlockables in a game that doesn't have an online connection to fall back on. I will take the old yearly SNK model or occasional Capcom revisions any day. Atleast it gave each of them their own niche of fans and let the devs try different ideas without fucking up what worked before.

ps2 og Silent Hill 2 at 4K with aa is an incredible experience. And best of all, not censored, no DEI.

I have no mouth and I must scream
It's a pretty cool game if you haven't played the hundred other 90s point and click games with a sci-fi bent.

>>12025646 (OP)
This thread makes no sense.

Who would care about impressing g*mers?

>>12028075
Actually it's still cool even if you have. I can never have too many cheesy 90s point and clicks. But it is overrated.

>>12028056
I had a friend over who wanted to play on my hacked PS2. When he saw King's field 3 he was like omg we gotta play it it's like my dark souls. Cue the slowest piece of shit in all of video gaming.

This is a 90s hidden gem! I miss when they made epic badass games like this! :0

>>12028056
idgi, at least she's actually playing it and not just pretending to?

>>12028075
the intro gorrister section and the basic premise of the game are very strong, actually good dark horror settings weren't exactly common in 90s adventure games, you'd usually get something a lot goofier and whimsical or cheap.

>>12028075
my impression dabbling in adventure games for the last 20 odd years is that there wasn't a lot in the way of dark thriller type settings, at least not quality, stuff tended to be alot more whimsical and goofy then you would necessarily want. I'm not the biggest fan of IHNM overall but the source material and premise are very strong.

>"I don't want to play SF6. Don't they have a mode where you just press a single button to do combos? Give me Third Strike any day of the week."
>OKAY, YOU FUCKING FAKE-ASS GLAZING POSER. 1CC ARCADE MODE WITH Q, GETTING A PERFECT EVERY MATCH WITHOUT SUPERS, THEN BEAT DAIGO IN HIS PRIME. CAN'T DO IT? THEN YOU'RE JUST A FUCKING LIAR.

This is why people hate the FGC.

>>12028405
People hate the FGC because you'll get called out for being a poser?
You don't get to complain about casuals when you are a casual. I hate modern controls, but you don't get to whine about it, you don't know what makes it toxic for SF6 (game design and character balance) and instead cry about it because you can't beat it (because you suck, Modern players are garbage so should be easy work).

Get that scrubby shit out my face and continue pretending you can play Third Strike when I'd fucking wash you.

>>12028417
Answer the question. Can YOU 1cc Arcade mod with Q getting perfects every match without supers and stand toe-to-toe with Daigo? If you can, you need to get in the back with the other casuals and shut your mouth. The only people allowed to play fighting games are people who can already automatically get into the Finals at EVO.

Before you get mad again, this is a joke. The joke is that the FGC's absurd level of gatekeeping makes them all seem like assholes.

>>12028450
It's not absurd levels of gatekeeping to say if you're representing a game so hard, you better be good at it.
If you say Street Fighter 4 is trash, Third Strike is the best game ever, I better not be able to hop on Fightcade and wash you in your own game. If I can do it despite only being C Rank, you're what we call a poser, and your opinion is value-less.

>Dragon Quest V & VII

>>12028469
>it's not posercore if i like it!

>>12028458
That's not even what was said. The scenario is that someone says they'd prefer to play Third Strike because SF6 has one button combos and someone from the FGC challenges them over not wanting to play another game.
There was no assessment over actual game quality or their own proficiency.
They just didn't want to play a game with one button combos.
That's it.
It is genuinely absurd that you need to be a top tier player to simply say you don't like a particular mode in a game. Literally no other fandom does shit like that.

The average /vr/ user unfortunately grew up with gen 6 as their first consoles. People love to meme on how older generations were retarded, but in reality it's the opposite. The gen 6 zygotes here are absolute retards and will probably destroy the board as boomers, xoomers and moomers get too old and crusty to care about posting here anymore. And God help us if gen 7 ever gets introduced here.

>>12028476
Go play whatever you want, I'm just calling a poser a poser.
You're criticizing the new game for having a control scheme (that you don't have to, and shouldn't touch because It's inferior) while pretending you care about Third Strike, but you suck ass at both.

People like you aren't worth having a conversation with.
Poser-ism is ingrained in your blood. Your daddy was probably a poser too. Don't talk about fighting games.

LMFAO shut the fuck up retard. You literally couldn't be further from the truth.
The average Morrowind fag redditor is only capable of parroting "muh epic chim man", "muh mantling" and "muh save files", when not a single one of these things is in the game. Not even one. It's all just internet fanfiction bullshit.
And you would also know this had you actually fucking played Morrowind yourself.

Again, this absurdity is why the FGC has the reputation that it has.

>>12028534
>but you suck ass at both.
A casual can hate a game for being casualized, and can prefer a game they suck at. For example, I've seen IRL once people dropping MvC:I because it had autocombos turned on by default that they didn't know you could turn off, because they concluded it was a game of whoever mashes first wins and just pressing buttons to have things happening was not fun. Meanwhile the same people playing SF4 were giggling when they managed to pull off a special move more complex than a fireball.

>>12028605
Stop feeding the troll.
Anyone who genuinely believed what he's claiming would demand you play on original hardware and not an online emulator.

>>12028608
>Stop feeding the troll.
This is a literal troll thread

>>12028605
The reason why the casual hates a casualized game is because they suck at it (or because they're even bigger posers who just want to appear knowledgeable by saying OLD GOOD or are just flat out nostalgic for the time they were younger).
The reason why actual fighting game players hate a casualized game is for reason they can actually articulate that don't come across as sour grapes from being trash.

They are not the same.
I don't want to hear the casual bitch about Modern controls because they got hit by an ultra-damage scaled inoptimal auto-combo.

>>12028608
>Le play on hardware where no one can prove I'm trash
And I'm the troll?

>>12027864

>>12028615
>I don't want to hear the casual bitch about Modern controls because they got hit by an ultra-damage scaled inoptimal auto-combo.
Isn't that a valid complaint though? Being hit by a long combo that didn't take any effort to do isn't fun. I might prefer a game where my fellow noobs can only do button button special to me as I can do it to them. In which case 3rd Strike is better for the casual than SF6, due to SF6 being casualized.

>>12028458
>i dont like this game and its mechanics, i prefer this other one instead

>>12028617
Something Something You're Too Much of a Casual to Understand Why That's a Bad Thing.

>>12028617
Prefer all you want, but don't speak on fighting games like you're some beacon of knowledge.
That's my biggest problem with posers who point to 3S as being the "best" fighting game. You guys don't even play 3S, so why should anyone care about your opinion on it?

>>12028624

Nah blood fucking sucks, shitty weapons, shitty enemies and genuinely some of the worst level design only surpassed by Shadow Warrior.
The only thing it has going for it is voice acting (all of these games have good VA) and the general aesthetics which admittedly are great and easily the biggest selling point of the game.

>>12028615
>Le play on hardware where no one can prove I'm trash
If you don't have an actual arcade scene near you, you don't play fighting games. You just pretend to.

>>12028662
Nah, because most people who talk about DQ8 now are people who have played it, it's more normalfagcore.
DQV is the big pick for posers because it's the "deep" one, and VII has also picked up steam as a poser game. I imagine that was partly pre-emp marketing for the remake, and now you have a lot of people acting like it's the greatest game ever in ways that obviously out them as having not played it (especially when they talk about the "story").

you see the most annoying obnoxious posers are not those who never touched the game it's those who played it for an hour or two and dropped it
it's like the faggots on Steam giving a positive review consisting on one line praising the game without elaborating and half the time it's a joke or a meme, but if you look at the play time counter it's under an hour lol

>>12028674

What's deep about DQV?

>>12028701
Game is structured around the main character's life, from childhood to being a father.
Watches his dad die, becomes a slave, loses his kids and wife, suffers a lot.

>>12028674
I look forward to the near future where they're all placed in newly built asylums along with the rest of their kin.

>>12028708
It's just basic Japan fetishization you'll see all the time.
Japan loves DQ, so if I want to be a weeaboo faggot, I have to love DQ.
DQV is the deep one with the story, so that has to be the one I say I like, that kind of thing.

Lmao so the entire series is for posers now??
>>12028724
The gameplay really is shit compared to the other games in the series, I'll give you that

>>12028726
Honestly, yeah.
Talk the series with a lot of self-proclaimed "fans", and it's very obvious most haven't played a single game. People just do it the most with V and VII.
The biggest claim that baffles me for how often it gets used is "Every game is the exact same". Nobody who actually played all the games would say that, there's more mechanical and narrative distinction among DQ1-9 than there is across FF's "golden age" (4-10).

>>12028734
>The biggest claim that baffles me for how often it gets used is "Every game is the exact same"
That genuinely doesn't make sense because anyone who claims to be a fan would never say something like that

Again, fucking posers, (You).
1-7 are not "the same", unless you believe every Final Fantasy before VII was also the same game.
All seven games are completely different structurally in gameplay and in narrative.

>>12028757
they are the same in being 2D games with first person Turn Based combat, open world with cities and shit, and you navigate the overworld map in the same way since DQ1

NTA but that's funny considering according to the Tekken 8 beta stats from Harada, North America is the region with the biggest amount of wi-fi users. Makes sense, because me being an actual 3rd worlder, my house has always been wired, since wi-fi devices didn't arrive as early here. Meanwhile I imagine first world countries fully bought in the high tech hype of wi-fi as soon as it was available and a lot of people discussing fighting games online always complain about having to drill holes or whatever to get their cables into their rooms.

I'm glad this was shilled because it's actually a good game with some cool mods

/vr/s obsession with Kings Field is pretty hilarious. If you came to /vr/ without ever playing a video game you'd think that KF is one of the most popular games of all time, but in reality this board is just about the only place where you can mention the game and actually have people know what you're talking about (and even then a lot of people here ask questions about it).

The way some of you act like it's some highly trendy cultural phenomenon is legitimately hilarious.

You overestimate how little raw repetition can equate to skill. Sometimes it does, and it is part of the equation, but some people simply do not have the memory, reflexes, and/or "creativity" to ever actually get good at certain things, fighting games included.

>>12028980

that's because fightcade anon is one of the biggest posers on this whole damn board and he tries to pick fights with anons who laugh at him as a way to prove otherwise which only leads to more anons laughing at him.

i quite frankly don't know why he's trying to pick fights for a match when i'm almost certain fightcade has some sort matchmaking/server browser or at the very least some type of community discord space for players to meet up.

>durr you don't need to be good a at fighting game to say this one is the best, i dont play my favorite games at all, that doesn't mean im a poser

Retards.
Makes me wonder how many posers are on this site pretending to like other games.

>>12029056
In that case they only like those games because of nostalgia, and nothing deeper.
They don't know the difference between SF2 and SF3 other than that their nostalgic childhood characters aren't in it.
They don't know anything about SFV, or what made it bad at launch, outside of maybe what they saw in an easily digestible youtube video, they just pretend hate on it without having touched it, while fellating nostalgic games they only liked because they touched it a couple of summer weekends as a kid.

That's the definition of a poser.

>>12029073
>They don't know anything about SFV, or what made it bad at launch
They know it well enough. Many pros would be satisfied with a game that had only training, local versus and online. Casuals were the ones refunding the game for having no arcade mode, no story mode, no local vs cpu and, a short while later, because of news articles telling them the game came with a harmful rootkit. They wouldn't be able to criticize the gameplay but they would be able to tell you the old games were better and have a good argument for it.
