I just bought Red Dead Redemption 2 last night and it was the only one they had in stock. It's already an 8 year old game, but it's new to me!

I still need to decide on a class.

I thought about hunter, then I remembered having to manage ammo...

[-] Noodle07@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

That's the thing, you're in melee !

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

Oh right! I did see people theorycrafting a no-pet, melee hunter build. That does sound fun...

[-] Noodle07@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

It's called a warrior 😂

[-] Axolotl_cpp@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 17 hours ago

I have enough MC mods to try out :3

Me: Haha, 20 year old games, huh? Like Super Mario Bros. and Megaman, right?

Them: Zelda Twilight Princess came out in 2006.

Me: (Benjamin Button gif)

Quake 1 is still rocking servers and multiplayer games are still being had, 30 years later.

It's still a great multiplayer gaming experience. back when games were made properly; with the sacrificial sweat of a demon's nutsack.

We're all Sanae on this day

Sanae from Touho with a concerned expression says "Huh? No, retro consoles are nlike the NES and SNES, right? The Playstation 2 and DS are still pretty new..."

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 day ago

The PS3, 360, and Wii are the 20 year old consoles now.

[-] SailorMoss@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago

PS4 will start being retro any moment now… my back hurts.

[-] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

But I just got the 360. It's the first console I got b/c I wanted to play Ace Combat 6...

FACK.

[-] gibmiser@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

How about an awesome expansion to a 30something year old Zelda 2?

ZIIAOL by HoverBat

Im on the 3rd palace and it feels like an expansion, same gameplay. Its really good.

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago

The explosion of expansions and general romhacks in the last decade has been beautiful. Not all of them are winners, but so many are. If gaming companies funded them and sold them, we'd be in a golden age. But we're just suing the kiddies these days.

Team Fortress 2 will be 20 years old next year.

you're welcome

[-] driftwood@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 day ago

Oh, the new one? I only played the previous 😬

[-] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 day ago

Feels weird to call it retro but I’ve been having a blast with Morrowind lately. 24 years old, so fits with the meme.

[-] fishy@lemmy.today 13 points 1 day ago

I will never forget going to the store in the mall and having Neverwinter nights in one hand, Morrowind in the other and the clerk waking up to ten year old me and saying "wow, great taste." offhandedly. I bought Morrowind that day and had never been so completely lost in a game. I ran around getting killed by everything for weeks!

Retro is something new made to look old. Vintage is something actually old.

[-] FunnyUsername@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

i started this recently on my channel. it's a bit rough, but the openmw modpack helps a lot for someone who doesn't have any nostalgia for it

20 years old because you finished all the NES, Super NES, and MegaDrive games already?

[-] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 day ago

Yep! Excited for that new PSP thing, can you believe youll be able to play ps1 games on the go??

[-] HouseWolf@pawb.social 8 points 1 day ago

No joke the PSP might be my favourite console of all time. It's the only console I've owned multiple of...I've had 4 in total.

I got my main Red 3000 model back in 2016 for £20 already jailbroken with a bunch of roms already installed. Sadly the retro boom has skyrocketed the price, I'd just tell anyone nowadays to emulate it. PPSSPP runs on nearly everything.

[-] welfare_wizard@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The PSP was my smartphone before smartphones were a thing, all the neighbors with unsecured wifis right next to the school hated me.

...20 years isn't far enough. Oh no.

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago

I'm still ploughing away at the 2600. I'll get that ET fucker out of that hole if it kills me.

My backlog is long enough to last me 20 years on it's own.

On top of old games I only just find out about and add to the pile. Still a few indie games I'm looking forward too but it isn't going to kill my next year of gaming if one turns out to be a flop.

[-] bluelander@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 day ago

Only 20? Y'all are missing out!

[-] TaeKwonDoh@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Why do I get the feeling they're British

Word, same playing Chrono Trigger for the first time. I now get the hype.

[-] scutiger@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Chrono Trigger is 30 years old at this point.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Depends on where you are in the timeline.

[-] scutiger@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

In many cases (not all) older music is better, too.

Who needs TikTok brainrot when you can just play dm_crossfire.

[-] Leviathan@fedinsfw.app 3 points 1 day ago

I pretty much only play grey Gameboy Tetris these days. I keep wondering why they kept making games after this masterpiece.
