DEUS EX

With the greeks

>>381916078
This. Space chem is probably the easiest of the video games. If you can't beat spacechem then you may as well not bother with the hobby

Play Tetris and go from there.

First post best post.

When you're a little more experienced, try Aurora 4X. It's one of the easiest ones as well.

this is a decent place to start

>spacechem was originally denied sale on steam
Where does the time go, lads?

>>381916556
Really? That's retarded. I honestly think it's a 9.5/10 puzzle game.

>>381916021
How much are you willing to pay? Do you want more light Nintendo-esque games or darker games?

Shenzen I/O > SpaceChem. Fight me.

note: don't start with anything 3D

>>381916021
I mean id say get a ps2 for some really good classics or even the 3 (you can find it kinda cheap these days) or even an xbox one since it will have retro compatibility. You can also get a pc and emulate almost everything that came out before this generation, but im pretty sure you would need a really powerful pc for that

>>381916428

Someone should really give this an update, although the recommendations aren't bad.

>>381916021
Super Mario Brothers 3.

>>381917023
Read his post again, carefully.

>>381917024

If you want to play videogames with substance, pic related.

>Fallout 2 at 42nd
>Halo CE right about Silent Hill 2
I can forgive that since SH2 doesn't have as good gameplay as Halo CE, but still.
>Half Life at 23rd instead of swapping places with Half Life 2
>God Hand that low
This has to be bait. It looks more like the shit /v/irgins talk about a lot and then some random guy gave it placements at random.
Also
>implying you can get a good amount of people here to honestly agree on any game being better than something else
Its more just a good list of games to play than a ranking.
Nice bait image.

>>381918659
no...... no way......

>>381918743
So /v/ is filled with plebeians who like mainstream garbage?

okay, guess I'll ask infinichan /v/ instead

>>381916021
The Metroid series in proper order.

>>381918512
>dwarf fortress on /v/ core
Wew
Never actually seen /v/ talk about this game, and when I bring it up no one ever answers.
Its probably my favourite game ever

I didn't expect the thread to take off.

I heard that Super Mario Brothers is a good starting point.

>>381919538
Seriously? There were a good amount of threads a year or so ago, though yeah I haven't seen it talked about it much recently. Maybe they're over in the general?

>>381919863
Sounds good to me.

>>381919143
yeah why can't they enjoy contrarian garbage like us real gamer's?

>>381916021
Go hang out with your normie friends and play whatever they're playing. Then get back with us and tell us what you liked and what you didn't like. Then we can give you actual answers.

>>381918512
one the best lists this board has made

>>381916021
Play the Mario games.

>>381916021
Certainly not reading about them, what the fuck. Imagine watching a docummentary that taught you how to read a book.
