>He says, "That game looks really old! Like hundreds and hundreds of years old"

Honestly, that's pretty funny, unless he actually thinks there were video games hundreds of years ago.

>8 year old has no grasp of normal human accomplishments

My 8 year old brother thought our $800,000 home was worth $1,000. It's normal

>Who else have had vidya experiences where kids have made you feel old?

Hasn't happened yet but who knows. My kids and their cousins only played retro systems because those are the only ones I would let them play when they learned. They now know a lot of classics and love them all and will most likely be appreciative and nostalgic of the old stuff when they are older because of it.

>DOOM 2

My dude. Played it everyday when it came out and I still have my original box.

>kid says they could never play AOE2 because the graphics suck

>kids have never heard of silent hunter

>electronic stores no longer have bargin bins

>You will never play tf2 after school with your mates agian

minecraft was released 5 years ago

Take me back niggas

"Hey have you tried this game"
"dude thats 5 years old, do people still play it?"

>minecraft was released 5 years ago
Nigga it first went public in 2009
You're talking about when it went out of beta

>minecraft was released 5 years ago

I'm surprised it actually got fucking released

well yeah but lets face it you could barely call it a game back in 2009.

>2009-10
>visiting relatives place
>their kids like 10 at the time
>plays GTA and CoD and shit
>mention him that I was busy playing Super Mario and stuff at his age
>"Mario...? -ooh that thing! I think played an online (flash) game where he has a shotgun once!"

>Mario
Why the fuck do they even still make mario? it wasnt great back then and it certainly isnt now.
It along with the legend of zelda have to be the most overrated games of all time.

lol holy shit what a faggot you are. Did you tip your fedora after you hit post?

This is some really shitty bait.
Try harder next time, you'll get someone eventually.

Wouldn't he be able to look at one of those walmart/target/best buy advertisement booklets that get stuffed in the mail and recognize how far off his sense of scale is, or am I being old fashioned in assuming a kid would do that to check prices?

nah it just bugs me that people big them both up to be something incredible when they are mediocre.

FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING KID HOW YOU CANNOT RECOGNIZE ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOGAMES EVER YOU THOUGHT YOUR SHITTY FPS GAMES LIKE COD AND FAGGOTFIELD WERE CREATED YESTERDAY? THINK AGAIN, SUCKER, THIS GAME IS THE FATHER AND IT IS ARGUABLY BEST THAN ANY OF THOSE MODERN SHIT, THAT'S RIGHT, NONE OF YOUR GAY BRUTAL DOOM STAND A CHANCE AGAINS YE OLD IDTECH YOU FUCKING FAGGOT DOUSHITE BOY ARE YOU CRYING LIKE A BIG SCARED BABY DON'T YOU EVER DARE TO TELL YOUR MOTHER OR I'LL SLIT HER THROAT

Their polish, craftsmanship and controls are anything but mediocre. Best platformers on earth ainec.

Because the people who used to play those games are the same people who play them now, except before they were kids, now they are fat greasy basement dwelling nostalgiafag permavirgins and Shitendo knows this, that's why they made Bayonetta. I mean you can only masturbate to Peach and Zelda so many times.

I hope you slapped the stupid faggot out of him if he said even one negative thing about DOOM

Uncouth little fucking brats deserve beatings until they stop being little faggot shits.

Bravo. This is the only correct way to respond.

>Best platformers on earth
Do you honestly believe that? there was plenty of games better than them at the time.

Damn kid. Must suck that no one shared mario with you as a kid. Now you're just an angry fat greasy basement dwelling fedora wearing permavirgin hipster faggot on an anime imageboard whose parents didn't love him.

You can't blame him, really.
I played Doom for the first time 2 weeks ago and was cumming all over the place.
Showed to my friends, who I grew up playing videogames...they said that it was ok back then, but today it's unplayable.
This is my post about your question too.

No there wasn't and I would know since I'm from that time. Now you can go ahead and post some good games and I will most likely agree that they are good games but they are not on the same level as SMB3 or even SMW for that matter.

>but today it's unplayable
anyone that thinks this about doom doesn't like video games

I understand how people wouldn't enjoy vanilla that much, but give them WASD+mouselook via GZDoom or some other sourceport and see how they like it.

You are delusional is right you are holding onto that nostalgia too hard. You are probably one of the people that would say pokemon ruby is better than pokemon alpha ruby.

>they said that it was ok back then, but today it's unplayable.
Take solace in the fact that your friends are retarded

Since when do games have expiration dates? I hate when people say that.

Not at all, I fucking hate pokemon and I have all modern game systems and a nice collection of those too. My opinion still stands as fact though and SMB3 would transcend past best platformer of all time to one of the best games period of all time. You must have been born in the 90's to not comprehend this.

>My opinion still stands as fact
Sup Forums everybody

>today it's unplayable.
what? how?

>kids nowadays don't draw moustaches and horns on the photos of celebrities in their moms magazines
>kids nowadays don't draw little stick people on those house plants in estate ads

yeah spiral knight still gets content updates well sort of. so there is still a good player base. An example of a game that did "expire" was alien swarm. I logged of then came back a year later and the only player in game was myself. fucking valve not giving it workshop support.

This is what fucked me, mate.
I know these guys for at least 15 years. They play videogames to this day, not only your average CoD and Fifa.
I really don't know. This maked me more fond of Sup Forums.

After hearing these words, yes. This is a fact.

Most because of the graphics. They can play Mario Bros 3 and Chrono Trigger today, but the "simulation" of 3D was too much for them.

Also, I played on Xbox One and showed the PC version for them. I just wanna die.

I know I didn't have much sense of scale when it came to amounts of money outside of my own scale.

Still waiting for your opinion to list something better. I'll keep waiting....

>Mother forces me to let my 4 year old nephew play melee with me
>First round I destroy him beyond comparison
>Set him to a lvl 7 cpu
>Play the game like I always would
>Parents don't catch on and neither does my button mashing nephew

>playan destiny
>join fireteam
>kids are remembering being 5 and playing Killzone 2

Even I think mouselook makes Doom more enjoyable but being unable to play it because of the graphics sounds pretty retarded. The sprite work has aged well too.

Its almost no use even replying to you I dont know why I bothered the first time. You are so deluded you think your own opinion is a fact and believe super mario 3 is the best game of all time.

Its time for you to grow up, you are at least 28 so you should be able to accept the concept that better tech means better games can be produced as they arnt as limited by storage and processing power.

Not that guy but mouselook always made doom worse to me. It feels so unnatural, it's like, I dunno, adding a double jump to old mario games or something. Bad analogy I know, but adding a mechanic a game wasn't made for never jives with me.

>Playing Destiny
>Find out a guy who is real cool
>He invites he's cousin to play who was 14yo at the time

I don't know, God exists. This kid is really funny without the memes and was playing F-Zero GX at the time.
He told me that after he knew he lost so much he picked a year for each generation.
Really nice guy today.

And you should be able to accept the concept of more work=better game. Just because these games look better doesn't make them quality. Only a few will make the list 10 years from now and they will be behind games like ocarina of time and SMB3. Get over it.

A child definitely understands the prices of regular consumer goods but children don't buy houses and they oftentimes just pick the largest "feasible" number for something like that. They know houses are pretty expensive but they don't know just how expensive they are.

I suppose that makes sense. It also lets you make some shots you shouldn't be able to, like picking off the jailed Demons in Doom 2's E1M3 before they're released, but if you're a bad enough dude you'll jump down there.

I felt this too. I felt much more confortable with the Xbone controller than the mouse and keyboard, but I don't play on PC.
I showed them the PC version cause they play on PC today.
So I wanted to cause the best possible first impression.
And it happened.

>but if you're a bad enough dude

>ocarina of time and SMB3
You are now deliberately trolling. You can sit in your dark neckbeard basement and go "ha i sure showed him" because you are too stupid and desperately gripping onto your childhood to realise that 28 years of advancement and market expansion has produced many better games your personal favourites. good night you tragic nostalgic idiot.

>Playing Doom 2 in school
>Kids a couple of years younger than me walk up and watch
>One of them says "Is this game from the 19th century?"

Kid was like 16, kek

>Shotgun Mario
>Instant cringe when I remember I played that crap too

>I still have my original box.

>Video games will be 100 years old in your lifetime.

you got the sauce for this?
I tried searching for it once but got distracted and jerked off to one of the other videos i found

>our $800,000 home
Fuck you.

I bet he'd like Brutal Doom.

Bleh.

Nope man, sorry,
Just saved it.

>You can sit in your dark neckbeard basement

Actually I'm sitting in my living room looking out over a lake in my 3300 square foot 2 story home, 3 car garage with a basement. Which is also quite nice I might add and I renovated it so it isn't dark anymore. Let me know when one of your new age trash games makes this list you little annoying 90's faggot knowitall orphan/foster child who wasn't loved.

>Shitendo knows this, that's why they made Bayonetta

I didn't showed them Brutal Doom...now I really don't know, but I think this would please them more.
I like Brutal Doom, really. Been playing this week and was a fresh new experience,
though Doom was too.

>compensating for Odor 1886 buyer's remorse this hard

The fuck chart is this?

Nah man, a person's first exposure to Doom should be as vanilla as possible, though sourceports with more modern features added like mouselook actually are fine. That way the person can better appreciate what different wads change and shit as well as become accustomed to the Doom formula. If they start with a wad that changes a lot of shit they won't really get what's so great about it. Though I don't like Brutal Doom myself.

When people say games released in the early 2000s are too dated on Sup Forums

I assume that is meant to say the order 1886, I've never played it so I don't know if it is good or not.

nintendo fanboys make lots of charts.

Because most retards on Sup Forums and normies growed up with a ps2.

You just had to post Spiral Knights right? Fuck you man, fuck you

>nintendo fanboys make lots of charts.
>squaresoft
>valve
>sony
>capcom

Holy shit you both are fucking retards.

Congrats, at least he didn't say that it looks shit and must be a pretty boring game.

>you little annoying 90's faggot knowitall orphan/foster child who wasn't loved.

>Letting someone online get you this mad

Poorfags gonna poor

The ride isnt over for me until those elevators stop running.

>calling someone acting like an annoying faggot an annoying faggot means someone is mad

Call em like I see em. It's clear that loser wasn't loved as a child.

Show your faggot nephew Wolfenstein 3D and then Quake 3 and tell him that a single man brought the industry from the former to the latter by himself in a 7 year span.

> fuck, even Commander Keen was impressive as fuck in 1990 given the lack of a hardware tiling and sprite engine in PCs

I stopped playing after the Apocrypha Halloween event, have they added anything interesting or just more reskinned cash shop cosmetics?

you'll be a great dad user.

>projecting this much

>a person's first exposure to Doom should be as vanilla as possible
I think this too, but as I stated, I played for the first time two weeks ago.
And I respect your opinion on Brutal Doom. Maybe because I am not used to mods.
F

>and tell him that a single man brought the industry from the former to the latter by himself in a 7 year span.
Romero?
>inb4 Carmack

That's the standard price for a halfway decent home on the West Coast. There's even shitty, decaying houses that run six figures.

children interpret time very loosely

We have, shroud of the apocrea, black kats and march of the tortodrones rotate fairly regularly along with the Halloween and Christmas stuff. The latest addiion was slime casinos that pop up every now and then through out the year. There hasnt been and new weapons or armour apart from very rare shit you can get in boxes and reskins.

The game has changed hands so hopefully we will get some new stuff soon.

Ultima Underworld is more impressive than Doom and Wolf3D desu

>he's still responding to me but acting like he's someone else and still not posting a single game better.

Guess i'll be here forever. I think they have some programs called big brother or big sister in your case that can help you with your anger and depression.

>apocrea
Yeah, meant that one. Hope they start adding more stuff, never got my Divine Avenger to lvl10

I am not american and have a really nice house in a really nice neighborhood, but now I am curious.
This is a really, really rich house or a NICE house in USA?

its still no less fun unless you have done every boss but yeah new content would help.

>today it's unplayable

Not him but it depends where. West coast it would probably get you a nice ish house

Only thing left for me was paid content (Shadow lairs, Crimson hammer thing), used to get carried a bit in Firestorm citadel but I still managed to get by with that piercing gun everyone used. Got an Obsidian Edge from the event too

Some of the features in UU's engine were even better than Doom's (notably the sloped floors) but it still only did 45 degree angled walls, used a 20 foot dim-fading sight radius pretty much everywhere, had a max viewport size of a third of the screen, and still ran slowly on the hardware of its day.

> Watching little cousin playing that Skylanders game a while back
> see Spyro
> tell them that I played Spyro back when I was a kid, and I think I still have the CD somewhere
>"What's a seedee?"

Yeah iv not done the show layers, I got crimson hammer while it was on sale by using steam wallet shit from selling cards lol. The blitz needle is still the firestorm citadel staple even though the "new" Callahan its a bit better.

Huh, thank you user.
The nice ish helped a lot..

>I assume that is meant to say the order 1886, I've never played it so I don't know if it is good or not.
You'll love it. It's super modern and high-tech.

Please, tell me this is bait.
I fell for it, yeah, but please, TELL TO ME THIS IS BAIT.

its newer than 2012 so I wont be bothering I'm abroad for half the year and only had an old laptop with me so I will be sticking to AOE2, world of tanks and dark messiah.

>tfw sound quality of music release formats will go backwards once CDs are phased out

>mfw my 8 year old nephew said
>"That game looks like minecraft"!

it was hard to explain that videogames used to look like this

My cousin refers to Street Fighter IV as an old game. She's 10, so I should have expected that, but it still feels weird.
