No that's why I don't take BotW/TikTokgays seriously
based
>t. Casual morons who can't beat the original Zelda but think their OoT harem slop is a good game
i've beaten OOT multiple times and TOTK is my favorite game, seethe
Based.
What more do you need than bombchus, chu jellies, wells, caverns and random quests?
Plus rpg allies? Womf
I repeat: WOMF
What's so special about it? It's a piss easy kids' game with over an hour of unskippable cutscenes. What makes it a gamer essential? Because it sold a lot and you played it as a kid?
I just tried to and found that I am physically unable to call myself a gamer so there may be some truth to this
If there a reason why I want to be called a gamer? t. Been on v for like 15 years. Ocarina sucks btw, play a real fricking game.
>not a real gamer says play a real game
as if he'd know what that even is
why would i want to brand myself a gamer in the current year
have you seen the average gamer?
if a normal gay asks if i play games i say no
Who the frick cares about what some acquaintance of some rando on Ganker has to say?
Absolutely, to each their own. There is no game for everyone, no matter how good it is.
So I've beaten the og zelda, alttp, and minish cap. It seems that Im a fake ass gamer
When I was a kid my friend bought this and it had a 100% and all we did was explore the completed world and do the fishing mini game
The requirements have been recently updated actually. In order to legally call yourself a gamer, you must perform the shibuya terminal loop in jet set radio 100 times In a row.
not falling for this again
Link isn't 6'8 how am I gonna get my zoomerhole wet?
>T. An actual highschool friend of mine who is 28 now and based his life off being a 6'3 lanklet and watching Mordhau twitch streams
I understand the sentiment. It's a legendary game, but the industry is so vast now that most younger people aren't going to bother playing it. You also have a large demographic of people that only play online shooters or sports games. Whether or not they are "gamers" is subjective.
I will say that if you enjoy adventure games that you owe it to yourself to at least try the game. Especially since we have a great PC port and so many other ways to play it.
Even hipsters who are around 30 didn't play it cause they have so many homosexuals steam games to make them feel special
Zelda OOT was back when gaming was gaming not this trendy hobby
>that only play online shooters or sports games
Those games have a lot more mechanical depth and challenge than OoT. What makes OoT more of a game than something like Fortnite or Valorant or hell any CoD?
That’s not interesting tho
Why would you ever want to call yourself a gamer?
Because that implies the gamer word and misogyny which women need to hear when they're freaking out at their minimum wage job
If I ever have a kid, I'll make sure he plays OoT and MM first
Why would anyone be proud to play this fricking garbage?
I'm a gamedev myself and this is quite impressive despite what trannies say
It's not as easy as say..putting your dilator in the freezer and calling it a ''chilldo"
>Choosing to play in the most unfun way possible. Also incredibly cherry picked and doesn't work in most other context, Probably had top restart the recording multiple times.
OOT's only issue with combat comes with it being the first game to have good 3D swordplay - there just aren't enough enemies designed to duel you properly. There's a reason so many games copied it beat for beat, controls and all - like the Souls games.
Yeah bro its so good great swordplay.
You think a regular player will discover that? I'm more impressed at the hitboxes.
Yes I think a normal person with a functioning brain would figure out that OoT is a shitty game where you can spam buttons to kill brainless sandbag enemies. Yes I also expect lobotomized OoT cultists like you to find this to be some unbelievable feat of skill.
>avoiding the question
How many of these videos do you have? lol you really must hate this game.
How many tries did that take you?
>vigorously humping the leg
bro, check yourself before you wreck yourself
oh boy, it's the oot barneygay. i'm legitimately surprised you haven't reee'd about bleeding british scum yet
Thanks for posting these webms all the time, genuinely. You've legitimately helped me in patching these exploits so that I can really make the the game's combat shine and turn it into what I wanted it to have been on release. Seriously, keep doing this and finding the dumbest shit you can do to break the game, it's a great help to me.
Yes, because growing up in the 90s I thought people who played Zelda were queer.
Then you died in Iraq and praised israelites with your dying breath as Tyrone blacked your wife
>"can you even call yourself a gamer if you haven't beaten Ocarina of Time?"
yes you can lol
lol
Nei
You're a closeted normie who needs big strong men blowing out his butthole
Why would people even want to call themselves gamers to begin with is beyond me. Let alone gatekeep the term. You waste the finite time you have in your life absorbed playing children’s toys, and I get it, it’s a fun waste of time, but being proud of it? As if there was any intellectual merit to it, or as it it contributed to your personal growth somehow instead of being a distraction from it? Jesus
Do you feel the same way about movies and TV?
About many movies and tv yes. Luckily there are films and Tv series that I’d consider do add to your growth, intellectually or as a person; they say give insight into the human condition or look into themes that can be intellectually stimulating. Video games however are basically like the Marvel movies: fun scapist waste of time. And I like video games don’t get me wrong, but it is what it is.
You are such a pseud holy shit
Anon I enjoy masturbation too and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. I just don’t get wanting to belong to an elite masturbatory club.
understandable
It's an escape from clown world and that's well and good enough
Also gaming is associated with racism and misogyny which women secretly love because ultimately it's their key to stop toiling and dealing with shaniqua on the tram but they're too dumb to realize so they only instinctually understand
OOT is an easy game
Apparently they significantly nerfed the difficulty late in development. I'd love to see the harder builds.
that should be a toggle on ship of harkinian for as much as we all want that
I see where he's coming from, I've come back to the series after a long time and now I see the influence of Zelda, OoT specifically on so many games I like. The Souls Games, the Witcher, Shadow of the Colossus, the Elder Scrolls, etc. I'd even go as far as to say Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption have a little of Ocarina of Time's DNA in them. Frankly I'd say Zelda as a franchise was incredibly influential on the gaming landscape as a whole considering how even Ocarina's predecessors in it's series were very influential. Yeah you can say better games have come out since Ocarina but it was a trailblazer in it's genre and for 3D gaming as a whole. So if you have more than a pedestrian interest in games, I'd say you should play it in the same way you should watch Yojimbo or Seven Samurai if you have more than a pedestrian interest in film.
So yes I agree with your friend. The Zelda games are the Kurosawa films of gaming. Fight me.

Oh I'll fricking raze your race to the ground and make sure OOT is never mentioned again
Goy
Don't test me
Yes? It's a what, 25 year old game at this point?
It's autism directed at criticism of BPTW's combat. People have expressed that they like the feel of OOT's combat over the dumbed down slop of BOTW's weapon combat. Therefore, spamming webms of someone exploiting the 25s year old game's hitboxes and balance is their response. It doesn't really make sense either, given that we have examples of how OOT's combat evolved in games like WW/TP which is what the people who criticized BOTW's combat wanted an evolution of.
>People have expressed that they like the feel of OOT's combat over the dumbed down slop of BOTW's weapon combat.
OoT is the one that's dumbed down.
frick those knight c**ts. that game was so frustrating
If anything BotW made it way less dumbed down even if it is still easy. OoTgays really have to reach hard and come up with insane logic to defend their trash game.
Wow, you really suck at games.
Sure. It's a great game but that's like saying you're not a gamer if you haven't beaten Contra or something.
Why would I want to call myself a ((gamer)) even if I have beaten whatever gatekept game is the treshold?
I'd rather hide my power level.
That's so beta
A Super Saiyan never hides his power level
You okay there?
i didn't grow up with nintendo consoles, i had playstation instead. i'm 31. i played ocarina for the first time last year sometime. it was pretty good but it wasn't some incredible experience. at the time it was influential but you don't need to play it today. you've probably already played 100 games inspired by it. it's like lord of the rings, you don't need to read that shit, cause you've already read, seen, or played 100 things inspired by it and nothing is original about it anymore
What is a gamer?
someone who plays (good) games
An er that gams.
Of course you can.
However only a cringe Black person would call himself gamer without irony.
Anyone I've found that refers to themselves as a gamer has been a spergy homosexual
Found the spergy homosexual
>No argument
>No argument
>No argument
Now, I'm not saying it must be a STG. In fact, I barely enjoy STGs beyond the technical challenge, I much prefer rally racers, rhythm games and even blobbers. Indeed, on a raw difficulty scale IWBTG fangames are also significantly more demanding than CAVE's entire catalog. That's not an excuse. If you are bad at shmups, you are not a gamer. If you can't process information at that level and react accordingly, you are no better than a casual who grinds League and CS:GO matches all day every day, or who plays Sony movie games, or the zoomers who watch ecelebs and streamers 24/7. Either grab an M2 / City Connection port, install MAME or just download fricking Touhou 08 for all I care, the point is you owe it to yourself and only stand to benefit. Thank you and have a nice day.
Wrong. I await your argument, but it probably won't come.
I'm not reading all that. But good luck with life.
>No argument
I am fighting monk maz koshia
tldr. you picked some random shooting gallery arcade game as your ultimate "gamer" test. That enough stupid for one day, and im a shmup enthusiast. frick off.
>Mass replier
get a load of this butthole
If you play video games you're a gamer. Everyone in this thread is moronic.
I play games, but please don't lump me in a category with these butt faces.
calling yourself a gamer without having played the most mainstream "greatest game of all time" contender in the history of vidya is like calling yourself a cinephile and never having watched citizen kane
either way you're moronic for trying to make a hobby your identity
Only beat Master Quest, does that count?
you can only call yourself a gam
>call someone the N word
>money stolen
>send appeal "it's OK, I beat Ocarina of Time"
>appeal granted
I've only played VNs the last decade. I challenged myself by pushing through a large amount of aweful writing. Am I a gamer?
Why are shmuptards the most insuferable not shitposting "on topic" people on this board?
>That's not a real game, ever tried to weave through a bullethell and hold fire at the same time?
>Hurr durr speedrunning is for babies check out score runs!
>No you don't understand, playing against human beings in RTS or Fighting Games indeed has a lower skill ceiling than my Touhou leader board!
>Well but all these scifi races are shit and would job to the multidimensional Bydo empire!
>You didn't beat the game, 1cc only!
Frick off.
To call yourself a gamer, you must beat the following quintessential Zelda games:
LoZ
ALttP
LA
OoS AND OoA
OoT
MM
BotW
TotK
To call yourself a patrician gamer, you must do the above, call out the DS games for being a steaming pile of dogshit, and rightfully declare TotK the greatest Zelda ever made.
I played up to the Deku tree and it was so different from every Zelda I'd played up to this point (Legend of Zelda, Link's Adventure, Link to the Past) that I dropped it and never looked back.
you're full of shit, what a homosexual
I'm not tho
15 dollars my ass, this whole reality is fake, illusion satan world
15 dollars 23 years ago
I am a very old homosexual
yeah well
my brother thinks the games are too slow as well. he asked me how I can even play them.
What is "STG". Also give a list of the games to play
Unironically I feel that way about pic related.
Seriously, whether or not someone actually knows what Ocarina of Time is is a pretty good litmus test of whether someone is a 'serious gamer'. Anyone who really cares about games will at some point have been curious as to what the "best ever games" are, and checking lists or discussions of this will quickly make it clear how highly regarded the game is.
So people who aren't even aware of its existence can be generally assumed to have a casual interest in games overall at best, even if they might be decently skilled at one or another.
a mass replier that isn't a complete moron? that's a fricking first
you're not 100% off the hook for actually having decent taste though, moron
