>90% of the best games ever made run on less than a 100mhz processor and 16mb of ram
>90% of the discussion of modern games is about framerate and resolution
This needs to stop.
You're being gaslit into thinking that modern vidya will somehow become good if only you spend that extra $2000. It won't.
>90% of the best games ever made run on less than a 100mhz processor and 16mb of ram
by all means post your 3x3 so we can laugh at your taste.
Cope, zoomie
>make outrageous claim
>too shy to back it up
see
1998 alone had more great games than 2010-2023 combined.
>Baldurs Gate
>Half life
>Resident Evil 2
>Metal Gear Solid
>Ocarina of Time
>Thief
>Xenogears
>Rainbow 6
>Spyro
>StarCraft
>Mario Party
>Rogue Squadron
>Crash Bandicoot
I could keep going.
iwould have to agree
a number of games (not on that list) ive played were enjoyable and it was only after i looked them up on wikipedia did i find out they were released in 1998
A lot of those (every PC game) require a lot more than 100MHz/16MB
False. The highest requirement on the list is Half Life, which is the only one that requires more than that. You may be confused because you're a zoom zoom and don't realize that most minimum requirement pages are no longer valid due to re-releases or skewing the facts, i.e. Thief "requires a duo/quad core processor" despite launching years before they existed. Everything else ran fine on 100mhz/16mb, including Starcraft: Brood War, which also launched on the N64, a console with 4mb of memory.
Oh, I forgot everyone here is eternally potatoed and saying "12x9 pixels at 1fps is all you need." Those games required 3d accelerators and the higher end P166 or 200 or better, whether you realized it or not.
Wrong. But also good job missing the point.
>MGS1 is more fun than 90% of modern vidya
>BUT IT ONLY RUNS AT 30FPS ON 1mb OF VIDEO MEMORY
The fact that you're analyzing framerate rather than quality of gameplay is proof positive that you will always be a good goy.
I challenge you to run it on a PC with 1mb VRAM.
Lol. Try again zoom zoom. Certain 1998 games like Unreal benefited from better specs, but a PC with a 100mhz processor and 16mb of ram could run literally anything released for the platform in 1998.
Pro-tip: the most popular gaming platform in 1998 was the PS1: which had a 33mhz processor and 3mb total of ram, only 1 of which was for video.
I played HL on a Pentium 100 and 40MB of RAM, probably runs on less memory.
Yes and I would trade it all to play Dragon's Dogma for the first time again. Or Grim Dawn. I could go on. I mean that there is such a tryhard list. Mario Party? That's your idea of one of the great games of all time? Some third rate party game that had success only because of it's closed platform? You think that game would have rated half a shit on PC? Get the frick outta here you crippling Nintoided halfwit. You inserted your gimp left foot down your throat so deep your ass in now your face.
Yeah, PC has no good board party games, let alone genre definers like MP1-3.
>Your ass in now your face
Another Brazilian? Insults don't work when you do so while drooling.
What? You didn't understand what turning yourself into a comical pretzel will end up looking like? So you decided to create some imaginary Brazilians instead? You know that is a pretty strange reaction. I can only assume you're black. After all, don't Brazlilians literally use blacks as toilet paper? Like in all that porn out that place. It's always some mulatto niglet getting humiliated. It's like a national sport or some shit. Sucks to be you I guess.
*Out OF that place.
I appreciate that you really tried to use proper English to save face though.
Oh no! Anyway, so which scenes were you in? Tell us more. Just the usual tourist bukkake shit, or the hardcore cartel debt kind of scenes?
When did you forget?
weak
Your posts haven't vanished. Everyone can see clear as day that you typed like a child and when called out on it you doubled down by being an edgelord. Thank you for the bump though.
Well, no. I'll tell you exactly what that was. It's because any random can see IKYABWAI arguments are weaksauce. It doesn't take elaborate self-awarded victories against Brazilian shadow puppets in imaginary ESL classes to see you're a tryhard dumbfrick fishing for self-validation.
Is that the AOL game? If so, has anyone got it haxed and netplay emulated?
Don't know of any servers emulating it. But you can always just fire up a gold box game.
>It's outrageous that games considered classics can run on a toaster today
No.
The OP image is fricking Super Metroid. The 3x3 could have Super Man 64 and still be better than anything from modern "gamers"
not really no. You've clearly never played superman 64
I have and it's better than anything that has been released in the last 10 years.
I'd play Superman 64 over the last Spider-Man games and I'm not being hyperbolic.
you haven't played either
I rented Supes and pirated Söyder-Man, worst AAA I ever played.
electiongay trying to make the worst take possible: uhh bubsy 3d is better than half life alyx. send post.
I'd play Bubsy over that overcorrected gameplayless movie dogshit. Jumping Flash too, but I don't know if your parasocial homosexual idols informed you that exists and how you're supposed to feel about it, gay Black person from outer era.
True. But, you both type like Brazilian zoomers and thus will be viewed as such. good luck with the factory work.
Still the best jrpg. Disagreeing=contrarian for the sake of wanting an internet fight.
>play Chrono Trigger expecting GOTY JRPG of the Millenium

>has one of my top 5 video game bosses ever, that fricking robot on the bridge holy frick that fight is BADASS
It's a really fricking mediocre game and also this post got way longer than I intended because I do respect Chrono Trigger but Black person claiming it's the best JRPG ever is moronic. Maybe to you, in which case more power to you, but fans of it blow it the frick up way too hard. It has some really high moments, but it has its share of dogshit slop like every JRPG... nah frick that like every RPG.
the worst actual maps I've ever seen in a JRPG
>hasnt played chain echoes or SMT
Oh I forgot about SMT2's maps... and some of Nocturne's... and SMT1.... and the original Persona holy shit Fatlus cannot into RPG Map design.
Chrono Trigger is def up there, I distinctly remember the future because FRICK THAT ENTIRE AREA HOLY SHIT. FRICK THAT SECTION THAT SECTION SUCKS DICK WHOEVER DESIGNED IT CAN FRICK OFF AND DIE. The medieval era was peak though, good fricking shit.
mother 3 is far fricking better than chrono trigger.
CT is the most generic trash possible
It's generic now that its been aped so much lel
>The OP image is fricking Super Metroid
the only good metroid is the original. simply by the virtue of actually being nonlinear, something the sequels do not have, and having be an actual challenge to navigate those levels.
Super Metroid is linear because you're bad at the game anon...
NTA

>after I beat that part friend shows me I could have escaped this part of the game at any time with wall jump, but I hadn't "learned it" yet
They showed me a lot of sick sequence breaks after I had already done the sequence they'd skip. Especially at the end because I was having trouble with Mother Brain so they helped me find some more of the HP canisters. Fricking crazy what you can do once you know how the game works.
gay opinion
>GTA Online
With or without friends?
>angry zoomer soijak.png
actually most of the new games I play are indie games.
that graphical fidelity circlejerking you mentioned is mostly done by "AAA" studios.
Something that has to be said is that the last decade has seen a surge of absolutely awesome puzzle titles. Can of wormholes being an exceptionally wonderful puzzle game.
super metroid has clunky controls and is only enjoyable to autistic speedrunners that don't have a life
>This thread again
FPS was always a thing until 5th gen fricked with everyone and now people will defend trash frame pacing and low FPS just to "own" the chuds
Those games were some of the best-looking games of their generation and pushed their respective system's limit, don't act otherwise
The problem is that for having thousands of times the resources and an even greater tilt of investment into graphics and framerate, modern games still look and run like shit, and they expect us to pay more for it
Graphical fidelity will never translate into fun. No videogame has ever even needed more than 256 colors.
You say that like what you posted doesn't look good. Didn't I say to stop pretending?
What the frick are you talking about? C&C still looks great.
That's what
means. It DOES look good. Discussion of Graphics and framerate in modern games SHOULD be upheld and encouraged because retro games were the best possible product of their time. Modern games should reflect that and push hardware to the absolute limits in quality.
No. Horizon zero dawn looks nice. It's a shit game. Graphics mean nothing.
pretty much this
Master of Orion still have great design and style
just compare the OG MoO to Remnants of the Precursors
>"retro" indieslop
>DUDE THE OLD GAMES LOOKED LIKE SHIT LMAO SEE?
none of these homosexuals never keep in mind the absolute soul that went into old games and beauty they produced within their limitations. It's always dog shit on purpose.
>'retro-inspired' indie game
>1gb file size
>muh good ol' days
Shut up, homosexual.
Why even make the thread?
You know that this will always fall on deaf ears.
The things that make games good are passion and polish, which is why you should always play indie games.
It's unfortunate that so much talent is taken by AAA studios.
In the hopes that a zoomer or two will realize that they're being tricked. Pointless, sure. I don't care.
It's a testament to the quality of those games that what I remember most is "recon by fire" and listening to the awesome MOD soundtrack while waiting for the screams to die down, moreso than the awful control scheme.
Remember when game devs courted the consumer, instead of insulting them and crying about how hard it is to sit at a desk?
Boy do I. If I'd known the way PC gaming was going I would've kept more of those old boxes around. I especially miss the weird trapezoid box Thief had, but by far the weirdest was for this relatively obscure mecha game called Ultrabots: I can only descibe it as a loose collection of shapes attached to one another.
Super Metroid ran at 60 FPS on original hardware
And that short game was the downfall of all the man hours spent on New World Order in the real world.
Based and redpilled. Any modern toaster can play more good video games than you can experience in one lifetime.
>90%
id like to see how you came to this conclusion
super metroid is a mediocre game that attempts to take credit for the innovation of other games in the genre when they are nothing like it
And I'd like to see you use punctuation. Guess we're both disappointed.
I still play Master of Orion(the first one), UFO Defense(mods actually) and Master of Magic, Shogun(1), Medieval(1) and Rome(1), Majesty(first one), Populous 3 and Kohan(1st+expansion) and Mount and Blade(Warband and with Fire and sword)
This is why i appreciate stylized games more than ever.
AAA and PBR shit is just lazy.
100% right but graphicgays will cope and sneedth
but SM is a graphicgay game
Anyone who cares about grafix is a casualgay moron. Grafix are the most easily and obviously improved aspect of a video game; that's why they're so appealing to low-IQ idiots. It takes someone with, at the very least, a midwit intellect to appreciate the unique aspects of a video game: gameplay, presentation, immersion, etc. There's a very strong correlation between the increasing ease of assembling a PC and the rise of dipshits whining about graphics. This rise in dumbfricks polluting the audience has resulted in a decline of fun and unique experiences and an increase in fatfricks crying about visual fidelity.
>mfw discovering tons of ps1 games ran at like 15fps
Super Metroid is so fricking good.
I’m always suspicious if a game doesn’t come in a box with a cloth map and dice.
Graphics get worse the "better" they become. I will always prefer PS1-PS2 era visuals over the realistic goyslop we get today.
Actually, scrolling screens like in Super Metroid were the beginning of the end. The best games load one screen at a time.
Very few sidescrollers did that. If they did pan over to another screen, it was something like Mega Man doing a boss door.
I hope you’re not implying that piece of trash is a good game
How is it trash?
He probably got filtered at the glass tube. Or gof forbid the crumbling bridge where you have to run.

>doesn't remember the bit wars and zomggraphics shit from the early 90s
Normies came with the Genesis and SNES. Sports games in particular brought new and horrible audiences.
A normie in the early 90s getting into gaming is a much different beast than a nu-gaming normie, you moron.
No, it started everything, just like the cool kids drifting over to the D&D table because they see how much fun the nerds are having. It sounds like a good idea, because your hobby is now not stigmatized, but you end up dumbing it down and ruining it for popularity that will never come.
> Implying graphics didn't sell games on the Apple II, C64 or Amiga, etc.
Stop posing. You look like a fricking clown.
The game you posted runs at 60fps, why can't console games do that now
Those aren't 6th gen specs
>anti-semitism outside of /misc/
>the best games ever made
why did you post super metroid then
There's a reason the Big Mac is the most celebrated burger. Everyone has wrapped their lips around one. Behold, the actual best game ever made.
