smart zoomer
Yes, those two statements aren't mutually exclusive. A game can have a good core gameplay loop and good storytelling while also being outdated technologically because of limitations at the time.

This is bad.
>The game not being an unplayable stuttering mess is bad because ...it just is, okay?!
>stuttering
Huh?
Gradius 3 on SNES is infamous for having severe slowdown that is highly variable by situation. So you get a game that stutters, alternating frame rate by the second in some situations.
It doesn't stutter though, the game still runs just as smooth but in slow motion
Why would you play a SNES mod over the arcade version? That's stupid.
Because the arcade version is genuine bullshit. Yeah I know it's a skill issue but I got hard filtered by it, specially at the stage with the ice cubes.
I grew up with the SNES version and it wasn't until it got released on the PS2 that I played arcade original, and even with multiple continues I couldn't make through it. And here I thought I was hot shit for beating the SNES port kek
?t=2472
Gradius 3 arcade and Life Force arcade are Konami's best shmups. You need AIDS.
Never said they weren't , I'm just not gud enough to beat them 🙁
Because they're different games.
There's no stuttering in the SNES port. The mod fixes the slowdown to be closer to the arcade version.
Here's a comparison between the SNES original and the romhack
There's no stuttering on the SNES period.
The game was intended to be run with slowdowns zoomer, by removing them you are increasing the difficulty a lot for no good reason
The game itself was already rebalanced to be easier than arcade by changing the layout of stages and number of bullets fired by enemies, with or without slowdown. There was slowdown in the arcade version, but it wasn't as bad as the SNES due to hardware limitation

deus ex kentie launcher
morrowind openmw
doom various doom source ports
quake various quake source ports
No one needs a launcher for Deus Ex. I've never encountered a single issue running vanilla GOTY.
ive never had a reason not to, the game worked as intended on newer hardware and i remember it helping me with some issues ive had. nowadays i only play gmdx or revision whenever i wanna replay it
most people need kentie's lightning fix, else the game looks extremely dark
also the launcher is literally mandatory for enabling a lot of modern standards for settings
1600x1024 is the highest resolution supported. What the holy frick.
add 1600x1200 as a custom resolution and use that with 2x hud scale
only way to play deus ex with proper HUD scaling
I guarantee you're just a mong who has never noticed any of the issues.
Kentie is still running the original game. It gets bad when people use things like the unofficial community patch that's let's you chuck grenades through windows and removes a bunch of cool sequence breaks.

Yes, zoomers actually play old games instead of complaining about zoomers in a vietnamese basket weaving forum.
>beats game using phone controls
Hmmm... I wonder why millennials are so obsessed with zoomers. Jealousy? I guess it must suck to get fat, old, and irrelevant. Also, why are old millennials still playing video games? Millennials really are the forever-juvenile generation.
Most millennials are approaching their 40's now and they're beginning to face the reality that they're getting old so they're lashing out extra hard at the younger generations to cope.
Don't worry, it'll happen to you too.
>implying zoomers will have kids
If I'm raising them they're mine, simple as.
Yeah, that's pretty much it. Except I do think Zoomers might be in a weird boat because they are lumped into the same places as Millennials online and have become excessively self-hating as a result (hence why they are obsessed with playing older games, zoomers are the biggest proponents of OLD=GOOD)
There's nothing wrong being self hating if you are a zoomer or non white.
I'm a zoomer, I just dislike a lot of the shit other zoomers do.
There are a lot of dumbass zoomers eating tide pods and whoring themselves out on Chinese spyware. Just like there are a lot of millennials getting vasectomies and being full-time manchildren. Every generation has a group of obnoxious dumbasses
It still feels like there's a far higher percentage of obnoxious dumbasses on the internet, I think it's because internet usage is a lot more widespread, but now there's barely any vidya community worth using.
>I think it's because internet usage is a lot more widespread
You answered your own question. I will admit that 24/7 access to constant entertainment has probably left zoomers a little bit fried, but it's mostly just easier now more than ever to instantly know that these people were dumbasses before they get a chance to rewrite things to make themselves look cool (like the hippies did).
>a little bit
Try "a lot". Zoomers will probably be the first generation that clamps down on the amount of internet time the subsequent generation will get.
>Vasectomies
That's based though, atleast they know not to spread their defective genes
why do the zoomers all look like the same person, are they not? genuinely can't tell
is that anthony jr on the right?
Zoomers are a comedy generation. Imagine growing up playing Minecraft and watching Pewdiepie scream at amnesia and expecting ANYONE to take you seriously. You are a joke.
>Imagine growing up playing Minecraft and watching Pewdiepie scream at amnesia and expecting ANYONE to take you seriously.
but those were the best parts of growing up as a zoomer
holy frick i want to go back
IMAGINE us references as old as playing minecraft and pewdipie and thinking those are zoomer things.
Bro I was part of that generation and I'm pushing 30.
You must be 40 at least, you should raise your own kids instead of caring what others are doing with theirs.
Aren't you millenials the same homosexuals who whined about Sonic having green eyes?

Where did you get that picture of me???
we used to make fun of other for having hair like pubes
why did this become the new hairstyle for the new generation?
Zoomers love imitating Black person culture, whether it be in music, speech or appearance
Black folk have naturally curly hair == zoomers now perm their hair to imitate Black person hair
Zoomers actually get perms to hide their receding hairlines
I was wondering why so many zoomers have curly hair.
Mostly inherited from their millenial/Gen X parents doing a frickton of weird shit destroying their bodies during the 70s and 80s
All the men in my direct ancestry were premature balders. My dad was bald by 25, both of my granddads were balding by 30.
I don’t think premature balding is becoming more common, I think it’s just becoming more visible due to the internet
I've shaved my head since 4th grade. I got locked up in 2009, and in 2011 (I was turning 30) I decided to grow my hair out. Thinning hair. Went back to the skinhead look.
Replace zoomer with typical pcgay and you’re spot on
As soon as someone mentions using a fan mod I instantly know their opinion on absolutely any video game is completely worthless.
Widescreen patches are acceptable though.
Sometimes, some games are not designed to handle drastic resolution changes properly. I usually just play old games windowed anyways.

The fan hack to fix the border only came out like two years ago. It's easy to not think about.
literally me whenever someone mentions GMDX in deus ex threads
YOU LITERALLY CANNOT MAKE ME INSTALL IT
Who plays Deus Ex with mods? It literally still works fine to this day.
I can understand playing a game with overhaul mods AFTER you played it in its entirety once, the only mods that you should install on a first time playthrough are the ones that fix bugs and that are basically glorified unofficial patches. Deus Ex technically doesn't need mods ever but GMDX is a nice overhaul for people that got tired of the base game and want something fresh.
weebs dont have worthwhile opinions either, so that kind of nullifies your disdain.
Same but literally for anyone who uses an anime or brony avatar.

Zoomer moment
Yes.
Unironically this. Games like Doom 2, Half-Life, Warcraft 3 and Counter-Strike wouldn't be the same without all its custom mods/wads/campaigns
Companions aren't really necessary to beat Fallout 1, by the time it is too dangerous to have them around, you should already be a god.
It's a matter of playstyle I guess. Never liked just getting the purple robe and sneaking in and out both bases. Doesn't matter if you're god either because those super mutant miniguns and their crits don't care.
>Doesn't matter if you're god either because those super mutant miniguns and their crits don't care.
You're not wrong, it's basically who gets the insta-kill first. But ultimately companions aren't really going to help that much.

>most zoomers are either playing games (albeit incredibly shitty ones), being dumb, or busy whoring themselves out TikTok to even care what morons do here
Unironically who keeps making threads about zoomers, millennials or is this just typical gaslighting bullshit from glowies?
Its probably someone coping with the fact they were born on the late 90s so they qualify as a zoomer
Late 90s as in 97-99 or like 95-99? I legit don't know what the actual cutoffs are because it feels like they get changed every other week
1997 is the most accepted cutoff nowadays.
Although you'll see late 90's born anons try to pass themselves off as "Zillennials" to cope about that.
'97
But I class '92-'96 as proto-zoomers.
95-97 is usually accepted as the years gen Z starts
The majority demographic on Ganker is zoomers anon. I wouldn't mind it so much if at least people bothered to lurk and try to fit in. Whenever someone posts a tiktok thread I can't imagine anyone other than a brown brazilian posting it during a class in school/highschool.
WTF Zoomers are this based?
Maybe that's why I couldn't fit in with dumb millenials, they are fricking stupid
Finally one of these posts are accurate
Why is making a game better looking and easier to approach a bad thing
Old good, new bad
It isn't, OP is just a moron
a lot of old games are made with sovl. why would you play a game painted over by a diversity hire intern who doesn't care about what xe/xhey are doing? i'd rather see the passion that went into the original by pure, straight-thinking white men who had a good time.
>sovl
Have you thought about killing yourself? You are part of the cancer.
It isn't. Zoomers are just trying to gain control of the narrative....even though millennials aren't controlling the narrative.

Based zoomer putting in the effort in his quest to appreciate the classics without degenerating into a snobby puritan hipster over it.
Are 97 kids zoomers? I feel like late 90's kids are too young to be millennials but too old to be zoomers
They're probably about the oldest zoomers, yeah. 97/98 is where I'd draw the line
people born in '95 - '05 are considered zoomers. this is nearly universally agreed on.
also, everyone born in this timeframe are now old enough to post here.
98' to 08'. Basically if you remember 9/11, you aren't a zoomer.
Nice try, zoomer. What are you, '96? '97?
99, why would I want to be old?
For me, if you're young enough to have no memory of the millennium (some would say muh 9/11 is the event), you're a zoomer.
Nothing about superior or inferior inferred, by the way. But you should have been there; 2000 was wild.

Hold on a second. I unironically do this and I'm in my 30's. For me, the reason WHY I modify an old game because I already played and beaten the original. Why play through it again the same way?
I feel like it's just zoomer fascination for them to play the vanilla original experience than modifying it.

That's because you're both Zillennials.
Someone's going to reply saying "Zillennials aren't a real thing, it's just zoomer cope" but objectively speaking it's more accurate to use 5-7 year ranges for grouping people than 15 years. People who were in elementary/middle around the same time are a more reliable way to measure generations than lumping in people who were born when someone else was in high school at the same time as being the same generation.
Zillennials are accepted enough to have a Wikipedia article at any rate.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zillennial
How about none?
How about NO fricking age ranges for grouping people?
I'm so fricking sick and tired of all this bullshit, and the fact you morons can't even settle on established definitions for these categories just goes to show how fricking meaningless they ultimately are.
That actually makes a lot of sense. This word needs to catch on, because I'm pretty sure 99% of "millennials" on Ganker are just zillennials who do fake nostalgia routines for actual millennial stuff.

This isn't quite zoomers but zoomers are bad for it, what triggers me is shit like calling everything with permadeath a roguelike and general similar ignorant shit that they do unapologetically
Mods are just another avenue for discord trannies to weasel their way into communities at this point. Most of them are worthless or change arbitrary things.
I'm not even gay but I bet this guy has a very cute little wiener
>mod that allows you to play in 4k
Nothing wrong with this. Frick everything else though. The only valid texture packs are AI upscaled and even some of those have wonky parts.
Using the SYW mod for FF7. Restores the digital music (PC version used awful midis), 4k support, AI upscaled textures, non-SD-blockyfist-parachutepants field models, 60fps battle. Not consistent, but much better than original.
That looks fricking atrocious. Is this seriously how zoomers play old games?
Well, I'm Gen X, but I like to crank up visuals if possible, and it looks better except for the texture tiling issues in battle. Sorry I can't be all "kino" playing the PSX version on a 14" CRT via RF with a vacuum running nearby to cause interference.
I can deal with a stretched HUD, but I hate Deus Ex anyway. I just illustrated the problems with the default EXE.
Nostalgia clouds your judgement. If something is good, it will always be good. I liked Filmation's shitpile cartoons as a kid. They weren't "good for their time." They sucked, and my taste matured.
>I just illustrated the problems with the default EXE.
i mean not saying the default exe is perfect/issue free i am not too educated on deus ex, but the original game can easily have an .ini changed to run at any resolution
but i always prefer to leave a game as vanilla as possible including only using community patches when completely 100% necessary
