2018 is classic

New ones yes I could see that

But old school ones like Super Nintendo super Mario and donkey Kong country are immortal, of crash trilogy too

Eh, I was bored as hell.

I understand, I liked it a lot but it’s a completely different experience from the old school games in every way

Tekken peaked at tekken tag 2

Everything after caters to button mashing dorks that just want cool stuff to happen when they mash random buttons

Hard ones are incredible but Astro Boy was fire tho

Yeah they said bosses Spongey which concerns me but no game I want til phantom blade zero

not a take but i get why some oldheads are obsessed by arcade games

No bullshit. Straight gameplay probably.

the standards for writing in jrpgs are so low even the classics are written worse than a colleen hoover book

a lot of hand holdy game design is good actually

high fantasy f***ing sucks

definitely my least favorite out of the first 4 gens, something about the vibe especially in the early game is off to me

all fantastic games btw

Didn’t like elden ring

Yes fantastic games but still generic picks

Consensuses tend to be generic, what did you expect

I am saying while that was voted on you ask most people their favorite game its a bunch of games soley from the last 10 years which most of that list is

From Software make the same game everytime

Bloodborne Dark souls series and elden ring are all different to me and I dont even love their games like that

?

Don't get the obsession with roguelikes in recent years. Success in these games depends on luck/RNG a lot more than player skill. All you need is that one run where the game blesses you with great resources and you can finish the game. Playing the same levels over and over until you get this isn't really appealing imo

People not having favorite games that are from early 2000s or beyond is baffling because people have a case of recency bias or not seeing the foundation blocks of games that got us here.

its like if I said my favorite stealth game is hitman recent trilogy when it took blood money to even get here

chaos theory and so many other games that these modern games learn from is part of what i am getting at. Many of which people never played the games that got the current "top list " to where they are now in the first place

Rogue likes, extraction shooters and genres like that have to be experimented with for new design elements to be learned but yeah i get you they are not long term genres for me

What if people prefer the newer games which have had time to iterate?

Do I have to think NES Mario is better than Wonder just because it laid the foundation
