Post the video game that always fills you with nostalgia to a time before your life turned to shit.
For me it's Wrath of the Lich King. Always loved the Scourge and Death Knights were fun as hell and hilariously overpowered.

i loved "g force fgt."
how old are you
I know it's sort of gimmicky now but I was 17 when it first came out and I bought a new computer that could handle it on it's highest settings. At the time, I felt it was such an accomplishment. An accomplishment I haven't been able to recreate for a long time.
old enough to remember g force fgt.
>tfw you're 30 now
For me, it's pokemon. Not only does it remind me of being a kid, it gives me a weird form of escapism that no other game can give. Imagine a world where there's no human violence, where a 10 year old kid can literally travel the world without any fears or worries, where you'll never be lonely because you have your pokebro by your side. Why can't I exist in the Pokémon universe, bros?
Yeah i also really like this, even though it gets pretty fucked up later on
TO MY SIDE
WoWfags actively ruined videogames. Glad you fags are finally dying off.
Every year, I have a ritual in which I play the sly quadrology. Not in one sitting, but every single time, when I finish 1, I boot up 2, just listen to my childhood and climp the pipe to the rooftops and listen.
That paris theme is eternal. I always run around in that level. I know every single location for each of the 30 clue bottles and get it in less than 4 minutes but I just do it, get the message saying I dont yet know where the safe is and just explore for a while longer. Reminds me of the better times, playing ps2 all day long, beating up guards, pickpocketing them, trying my best to get all the treasures back in time to the safehouse.
It's not one specific game, but seeing screenshots of colorful PS1 JRPGs can make me feel that way. I never even played many of them, but something about the look of those pictures gives me that feeling.
I'm so fucking depressed that I don't even let myself feel that kind of nostalgia, because I don't think I deserve it.
For me, it's When The Sun Hits.

Fortnite
when did TF2 stop being good?
>tfw I realized the other day I probably lived past a third of my lifespan already
I doubt I'll still be living in another 60 years. Im rapidly approaching half but I still remember when I was 7-8 as if it weren't that long ago. Is this what midlife crises are like? Im scared, bros.
Thanks for putting her name in the file title OP. She goddamn cute
She gave birth to a kid with CHARGE though, so i doubt you'd want to reproduce with her.
90s rachel is my wife :)
Her music is good too.
soon you'll stop seeing death as a danger, and start seeing it as sweet release
Max Payne came out when I was in college and it blew me away. Made me think what was possible with the medium, scratching that noir narrative and tight gunplay hybrid. I really felt like I was playing the future of shooters. It was just so satisfying, gorgeous, and fun. Me and my friend would talk about it all the time. Then he got diagnosed with a brain tumour and was dead six months later. My grades dropped hard, when they were otherwise good. Maybe I was sheltered a bit growing up (classic middle class), but looming mortality hit me like a ton of bricks and I couldn't reconcile losing my closest friend. Stopped caring about school. Stopped caring about school friends, and other people who wanted to spend time with me. Became angry and lashed out towards my parents, siblings, teachers, etc. Just became a defeated piece of shit. Got stuck into drugs for awhile, dropped out, ran off for a couple of years.
Life wasn't great. It was all entirely my own fault, I don't blame anybody but myself. But man his death just crushed me, and my inability to cope unravelled like a decade worth of living and growing. I'm still repairing the relationship with my parents. I've got no qualifications, stuck in a dead end job. No close friends or relationships from moving about so much and burning a lot of old bridges. Some residual damage from the drinking and drugs.
I try not to think about it but yeah.
Maybe in the spirit of the thread, but this song and the clip always give me both horrible and wonderful feels.

>tfw no early 90's parties with qt scene kids who are all convinced they are living in the end of history
I know that feel.
>max payne in college
how old are you, user?
>when you're life turned to shit
My life has only gotten better as I have aged and I only play old games
FF8.
I loved to hate it, and everything about the soundtrack brings me back to a simpler time.

Lineage 2 this game in southamerica and russia is gigantic , you americans have fondness for WoW , well lineage 2 its like wow but for us thirdworlders i spent thousands of hours with friends playing this game people i still talk people who left and people i want to see again someday , this game was my childhood and adolescence
Suikoden 2.
I replay it all the damn time, but every time I love or just as much. It's so comfy to me, getting a castle and expanding your forces... the story is great too, and I like to random my parties every time to use people I normally don't. It's so special.
For me it's Secret of Evermore and some other old SNES, PS1 and C64 (yes C64, not N64) games. I usually watched my big brother play them, sometimes I also played. Reminds of better days, when life was good.
Chilling with my friends from high school before we stopped talking to each other
For some reason this picture reminded me about Slowdive.
Persona 3
right in the nostalgia, fuck
i remember thinking MW2 was pure cancer and how it started the downward trend in shooters, but i still am somewhat nostalgic for it
dunno why youd think that
That's pretty odd user
She’s cute for an anglo
Black ops 2 was peak CoD anything after that was shit. that's what's disappointed me about this generation the shooters all are shit and the closest one that gave me that feeling of adrenaline has been Overwatch or Fortnite and they are both shit
Mario Kart 64. But only for about 15 seconds as I soon realise all the good memories came from playing it with family, and I realise even further that I live thousands of miles away from any family I have.
never
it's just oldfags complaining. TF2 is still about 9 idiots beating up each other
Any 90s game, but especially the SNES mario games and yoshis island. Reminds me of when my parents were still back together, when my grandparents were still alive, and i had no care in the world.
>Reminds me of the better times, playing ps2 all day long, beating up guards, pickpocketing them, trying my best to get all the treasures back in time to the safehouse
Where the fuck did you grow up
the bronx
Rise of Nations
Artstyle is god-tier and comfy as fuck.
Not them but I'm already there.
Now that I'm older there is just too much shit that requires my attention so I hardly ever get to do what I want to, and when I do finally get a break I just end up thinking about whatever project I have to do next so I don't get to fully enjoy my relaxation time.
I remember when I was younger I would always find it weird hearing older people talk about death so nonchalantly, but now I understand that it just means you finally get to have a nice rest from all this bullshit so there isn't anything to fear from it.
Alison I'm loooost
Alison i'll drink your peeee
RuneScape from around 2004-2008
I wear your clothes, when we're both high
You're out of touch

Also Rise of Legends is highly underrated
ah so thats what shes saying
I thought I was the only one...
Why don't you say fuck it and do completely different stuff ? You have a family ?
I'd say Dofus but it looks so different now. Otherwise Monster Hunter FU and Tri.

Best song.

Little Big Adventure, when I still had hope of a successful life...
Is that game really good ? I've seen pictures of it since years and years but never tried to look what it was.
To be honest with you I don't think it's aged well...
never, but the community definitively died in 2016
I only played the second one as a kid and I loved it to death. Very impressive for its time. It's pretty big and actually feels like a long adventure. The movement and combat are finnicky and dated, though.
For some this game does, even though halo 1-3 was the prime time of my childhood.
>Halo 2/3
>Animal Crossing
>Mercenaries
>Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere
>Super Castlevania IV
Too many to fucking count
I played Silent Hill 3 the summer before going off to university, oddly enough it felt like a fitting game to play when I look back because of how Heather is forced to take care of her own and to leave her father and home town. I'm now in my third year of uni and I'm still uncertain about my future.
the fuck happened there
justnoticed the crocs
picture ruined
murder
The guy probably got a nosebleed while eating that girl's pussy.

Gotta get gravy with the meat
I discovered Shoegaze this year and it's quickly become my favorite genre. There are a lot of asian bands/musicians that really nail that sound.
I'm out of timeeeee
gears of war 2.
Pretty much all LucasArts and a few other classic point & click games. All my most favorite games like Thief and DX came later but mostly past the point of no return. I've replayed one or two years ago but somehow I can't justify replaying games when I could play other/new ones I haven't played yet and that goes double for p&c ones that I largely remember by heart.
And maybe some of the console classics from 5th gen but other than WipEout 2097/XL I've not bothered to replay any of those yet and I don't really see any reason to, the past's only real relevance is how it relates to the present imo.
lol
What Lucasarts games in particular?
My life was always shit lol
this
nothing beats the 360 days
L2 definitely had its run in the US, I played it. I think just after going f2p and sort of after 2008 it fell out of anyone's interest. And mmo's changed to keep up with WoW.
I remember that i went to a friend to play GoW and we went to see The Dark Knight later that day. Good times, wish i was 16 again
>Post the video game that always fills you with nostalgia to a time before your life turned to shit.
For me its Halo 4 and Black Ops 2. Now here me out. Before I get called a Zoomer, I'm 27. And before I get called a normie, its cause I was. Those games are the last ones my friends and neighbors all played together before shit happened and everyone split apart. Like 10 of us would all hangout every weekend just playing games, smoking weed, partying, hanging with girls and stuff like that. It was honestly such a great time. But now I dont see them anymore and since I've found this place my life has been a constant lull of mediocrity.
he said while everyone is hyped for classic.
what an idiot.
WoW Classic, layer 15, shard 4... home
exactly
for US zoomers that may be the case.
For me? It's rolling my ass around in katamari while listening to some baller fucking tunes like youtube.com
and
youtube.com
Before I went to college and fucking tanked trying to get a shitty vocal music degree and I realized too late that I wasn't that interested in teaching terrible fucking kids.
My life just turned to shit yesterday so I guess all of them before that.
what happened user
Team fortress 2, hands down. Not my most played game, but the one that brought me the most amount of enjoyment in my life overall.
Turbo zoomer alert.
I'm being cucked behind my back. They said they'd always protect me and that they love me, but they're seeing their ex in secret. I always set my standards too high for these beautiful women then I'm surprised when they want more than what I can give them. It hurts so much.
She stabbed her boyfriend
BFBC2, Dungeon Siege, WoW TBC, Red Faction 2, Tomb Raider I/II/III, Crash Bandicoot Warped, CTR, D2, Halo, Morrowind, Driv3r (played it for the bugs), Syphon Filter, Pokemon Red and Gold, FF Tactics and Advance, hell even Radiata Stories
Mario 64, LoZ wind waker, Sonic adventure dx/2b, pokemon red/blue/gold/silver, banjo kazooie/tooie, diddy kong racing, DK64, etc..
for everyone it should be the case unless you're a pleb
Maple Story in the Ant Tunnel with some goth synth rock on the background. Just farming exp.
Shenmue, Sonic Adventure 2, Super Smash Bros Melee and Brawl. If I could go back then with the knowledge I have now, maybe I wouldn't be a suicidal mess with a stab wound in my chest from my girlfriend whom cheated on me despite us knowing each other since we were children.
I want to go back bros, can't keep doing it.
Hmmm how can this be
Ocarina of Time or Pokemon Blue
>there are some people that think MBV is the superior shoegaze band
This. 1998 was right before I went into high school, and while that was still certainly better than adult life, it was also the point where most students start becoming insufferable, sociopathic cunts, and staff and faculty are overbearing assholes that start selling you on the college meme and trying to give you anxiety over every fucking test score when in reality none of that shit fucking matters. In a way, high school was very much the primer for how bullshit adult life is. Middle school was the last time I was relatively carefree and school seemed like a place to learn just for the sake of learning.
Loveless is pretty good tho
Slowdive really is a quality band. When anybody can enjoy most of the songs on your albums you're doing something right. They really capture that aimless restless feeling, just listening to this brings me back to hanging out with my dog on a windy day at the park youtube.com
Yep, that was exactly the impression I had as well. Middle School was still kind of crap but, about that point everything else started getting even worse
Even though i started to develop problems in high school, it was also the last time i truly felt that the world was exciting and i had any optimism regarding the future. Now i see everything as lies and realize that this world is rotten through and through.
>brother and I rented it from blockbuster over and over
>parents still together
>life filled with good friends and mostly play
>optimistic view of the future
>characters find out the future is shit
>go back in time before anyone had any idea of how bad it will become
> youtube.com
lol
Same. Middle school was a pretty great time for me. Lots of hanging with friends, and cool stuff like South Park, N64, FFVII, and Pokemon which were all fucking custom designed to drive directly into a 12-year-old's pleasure center. Just like my dick.
Age of Mythology, in a time when I was the best in class for knowing stuff thanks to games and books.
Spyro also was my jam as a kid.
Finally Pokemon, up until emerald I used to play it non stop with my friends. I remember the day my mom bought me Pokemon silver an I played all day long. She died a few months ago. I miss her. I miss my childhood friends. I miss myself and how I used to love life instead of hating myself.
>I miss her. I miss my childhood friends. I miss myself and how I used to love life instead of hating myself.
Dragon Quest 8.
What a good fucking game. Replay it once a year, sometimes more.
DQVIII is one of those games that reminds me of a time when I was nostalgic for better times. Like, 2005 when it came out was just after I had gotten my driver's license and I was working most of my free time. Life was starting to suck, but I remember going over my friend's house on weekends and watching him play it a lot. I didn't have a PS2 at the time, but I loved the game's art, music, and voice acting. The whole presentation was charmingly nostalgic, especially compared to what most JRPGs were at the time. I finally played it for myself, several years later and loved it. DQVIII is now one of those things that pleasantly reminds me of a time that reminds me of a time when things were getting worse, but I had no idea how much worse they'd get.
Fucking end me.
stop calling me fgt
the one minute mark = chills...
that being said, pic related is my game.
If only we knew how bad things would get
The Feels. So much better than anything else at that time. MBV was good but didn't have the Umpfph.
Lol.
Yeah... Even Rachel Goswell's.
lol
youtube.com
please do not make shoegaze mainstream like you did to gizzard
Didn't know somebody did a video for this. Pretty cool.
God tier album.
Contra.
The Lucas Arts games were fun. The Indiana Jones stuff et, al...
Karateka.
And Wings of Fury.
You need to listen to the Sisters of Mercy stuff, bro. Stuff like, "More" and take a lesson.
Loveless is good. But it lacks the feels that Slowdive delivers. Mojave 3, even.
It wasn't any different in 1992, either.
Hanging with your dog on a windy day and listening to Slowdive?. Jealous!
Dang. I'm sorry. Do something creative, it helps. Well, it did for me...
not while listening to slowdive it's just what that song reminds me of
I remember seeing the Final Fantasy movie in the theater. It sucked. The animation was so stilted... but the story was good.
ocarina of time, banjo and halo 2 for me. everything pre 360 basically
Oh dang! Timeless. There was even that hiccup in the Nintendo version.
>Ordered Pokemon diamond on amazon
>release date is 2 days into our 1 week family vacation
>Get it 2 days earlier than expected because Amazon gives no fucks
>best vacation of my life, no dumb wannabe cool niggers I was surrounded with all my school life back then for one week.
That relaxation back then. Like finding an oasis in the desert.
youtube.com
Gotcha. The sentiment remains. I can't hang out with my cat in the park, per se. He's too skittish.
The most recent game that still fills me with nostalgia
Coincidently, it's the last great western RPG too
Alsison, I'll drink your wine.
*Alison
It was always shit.
No, Pong and Space Invaders were the shit. We used to gamble on those games.
time can be so fucking cruel to women
When I learned that she lost hearing I felt very sad. I do like her solo album and her live performances are great but I've gotta wonder. How do you deal?
only in 1 ear
She'd still look okay if she wore a more youthful outfit and ditched the grandma glasses.
Pretty much any game from GBA era and earlier where you play as a child. Pokemon, Minish Cap, the Harry Potter gameboy colour games.
This. That outfit is being way more cruel to her than time itself. The pale face with bright red lipstick isn't doing her any favors either. She looks like someone's aunt Gertrude.
Smoker
This game helped me learn how to be cool with myself.

This game was fucking peak video game. I feel like every single arcade and console experience from the '80s and '90s was serving to get us to this point. Viewtiful Joe was the apex. It's been all downhill since.
>sequel to the most popular game in the series is much less known, but secretly the best game in the franchise
never played it, whats so good about it?
ah my patrician nigger
40 Days is underrated. Like both of those tracks but I wished fans talked about it more.
Childhood would not be the same without wc3. neither would the entire industry
Back when I had a 4.5inch crt my older sister had a PlayStation 1 I would watch her play Resident Evil 1 on, years later when I still had that same 4.5inch crt I got a GameCube with Resident Evil 1 Remake. As a kid it made me nostalgic for when I watched my sister play, and now it makes me nostalgic for times when I had no responsibility. In fact when I play Remake 1 all my problems just go away. That said I don't play it often.
Monkey Island series and Full Throttle, Grim Fandango, Sam & Max HTR.
Blizzard were untouchable then
Yeah theyve gone downhill so hard it's depressing. It used to be that everything they touched turned to gold
It's proven that that perception of time is slower if your heart beat is faster. That's why as children days seemed to last eternities, because your overall heart rate was faster. Then as an adult we perceive the passage of time much faster, because our heartbeats are slower.
how do they measure that? By comparing someone whos jogging to someone whos browsing the internet? Because i always feel like time is going slowly when running, but that's because i fucking hate running.
All things decay. No empire ever lasted. No game company is ever going to maintain it's golden age status. Valve only does because they stopped making games and just kept their digital sales platform relatively fair and stable.
>the college meme and trying to give you anxiety over every fucking test score when in reality none of that shit fucking matters
What. That's literally all that matters. It may vary from region to region but where I'm from you'll be lucky getting something other than cleaning toilets without a diploma, degree etc. even menial jobs like sorting packages or (food) service requires years of schooling here. Not that degrees are a guarantor of success, but not having it is most definitely a guarantor of failure. Even if it's mostly about networking, good luck sidestepping this fact of life when you have a great network but no degree. Don't fall for the "college is a meme"-meme, that shit only works if you build the next Big Thing in your garage, in which case go for it but still, if you're that much of a genius why not pursue some type of schooling to fall back on if you can just breeze through it.

Honestly Nintendo games wanting to hold your hand constantly makes it nice to play Mario with an eight year old without wanting to spike my controller out the window.
Bully.
No Bully
hell yeah brother, this, the level creator and Joint Ops Typhoon Rising was the fucking shit.
I can tell you're a good man user. The X-series were fun on the ps1, good memories
>Pretty much all LucasArts and a few other classic point & click games.
My nigga.
Arguably some new indie point and click games do capture that kind of magic now and then.
Dragon Raja, the first MMORPG i've ever played. This game actually required socializing unlike these newer MMO's but i cba with that shit anymore. You could even steal stuff from people and PK anyone, anywhere.
I always feel bad for MMXfags.
Because i'm a MMZfag myself, and while MMZ is dead, technically, the spirit of Inti Creates still lives on to the modern era and they're still making good games.
But for MMXfags, what's left?
I can't think of something modern that they would enjoy, they're basically fucked right now.
Damn, i tried playing through the sly games again recently but couldn´t get past the inverted controls in the second game. First game was fun though. Why did they make the damn camera inverted brahs...
I almost fucked my semester because of it. Based PVP and dropping your items when hunted.

Basically all the N64 classics like Banjo, Mario etc.
