Considering that the term nostalgia was originally the name of

One week back into school and the Psych 101 freshmen are here to diagnose us.

People get old. They have less time/willingness to get into something new. So they spend time on things they're already comfortable with.

Idk if I'd call that an illness. Seems pretty average.

I like old games and i don't give a fuck what anyone thinks about that.

I think you would be right if the only difference between older and newer games was graphics. Even /v/ complains that they hate most of the new games that come out.

So is nostalgia good now too? It used to be described as a source of great pain. And many of the people around here are in pain over it or depressed about the march of time. We have threads by them all the time.

At least something can be done to help you, but how do we help them?

Neh,
Trying to shove story into everything used to be Rpg territory. Ps1era (pre 64....by a year.) Was the rising of story in everything, the next gen cemented it. Everything since has taken a hit in quality due >muh graphics >muh story >muh multiplayer >muh online >muh constant connectivity
not saying it's all bad. Plenty of good ones still being made.
Been playing since 1943, the Crapcom game (not THAT old, well closer than most peeps here, but still far enough) wacthing the industry grow and evolve into the monster it is. The recent developement of it uber popularity is something I NEVER imagined would happen, ever.
Back then, apparently we were all sweaty, scratchy nerds hiding out in our closets, gaming with one hand and eye, whilr jacking it and looking at moldy porn with the other hand and eye.
Not sure what happened, but we're all awesome and edgey now, or watever. But the games and what soul they had have been contorted and twisted into so many forms and variations and society as a whole has changed as well, that it can never, ever be the same as it once was.
It's pretty routine now.
They have it down to a money making science machine.
People started remembering before, during and after te economic crash so that's good. Many more Indie Hero's and Emu Lords have managed to get that teeny, tiny ember back to warm, comfy levels.

So when I hear retro hate, I must defend. Alot of shit is spoken about our favourite hobby and I feel there isn't enough people from back in the day speaking up in defense of.

If that's a mental illness, than it's just another check on the list.

Also
Don't even get me STARTED on the whole gender bullshit that video games have circling around them.

new games are fundamentally different than retro ones. I prefer retro games, though I do tend to enjoy some of the newer games that hold onto retro game design principles

Well, if you're not bothered by whatever your disease is, it's not really a disease.

Unless you commit a crime and then later argue it was due to your disease and start trying to use it as an out, which will certainly involve court mandated treatment in lieu of sentencing.

I think there's also something else. The feeling that you've "missed out on it", you didn't play the games "at the right time", so you're binging on them now.
Like the whole Earthbound thing. It evokes the classic "Saturday Morning" feel, but 99% of the people who tout it never played it back then.

For me, I still have a lot of old games that I didn't play back then because I didn't have either money or the console. I never had a Gamecube or a Dreamcast, so I try to play as many of its games I can find.

I'm not a collector, though. I dislike keeping old consoles around, because I change houses a lot (business stuff), so I can't bring all of it with me every single time. I still have an old PS2 with a Network Adapter, and I've been thinking of buying a Dreamcast or Saturn and do the SD Card mod.

Hope you read this, OP.

Actually, for me it's not about nostalgia. While it's there with some games, with most of the retro games I play these days, there's none at all because I'm just starting to play them now. Games like Streets of Rage, Gradius, Thousand Arms, Popful Mail, ActRaiser, Rad Racer, Fire Emblem, Space Harrier....I could go on, but none of these were a part of my childhood. I enjoy them immensely now. Why?

>>4190131
I just like a few old games and most of them arent even considered to be /vr/ stuff.

Collecting junk you never use because muh nostalgia or replaying the same game every day for 20 years... Thats a sign of a mental disorder.

>>4190146

If you can continue to find new things about it that isn't a mental disorder. Then again this mostly applies to PvP stuff and not really PvE.

You bastards killed what was, and now you're trying to kill what can be.

Gaming's changed, people haven't..

>let's get back at it then. We been doing this dance for the past 30 years. Why stop now..

Emu Lords have been quietly plugging away, behind the scenes. Restoring the old games to what they should've been in the first. Plus as an added bonus, they remix things and make different versions of the original.
Indie Heros are out there, making new games and new games that are like old games.

When it comes to some things, it's not "nostalgia", it's just that the old ways were better. Gaming is one of those things.

I can't think of one game over the past 10 years that I would want to replay. Whereas I always go back to the NES/SNES Marios, Zeldas, Square RPGS, Playstation Resident Evils just to name a few.

Gaming nowadays is just tons of cutscenes, tutorials, qtes, hand holding, and generally lacking any challenge. They've even made sports games like Madden and WWE games worse over the years.

Yeah, and The Force Awakens is actually better than Empire Strikes Back, I just have to take off my nostalgia glasses. JJ Trek is better than The Next Generation. Today's music is better than 80's/90's music. Spider-Man Homecoming is better than Spider-Man 1 & 2. Sometimes what came before is better that what's come today.

Neither did. But what did I name that wasn't better in the past? Is Force Awakens better than Empire Strikes Back? Is Big Bang Theory Better than Seinfeld? Is today's capeshit movie landscape better than the movie landscape of old?
I'll say that there's consistently better TV dramas (although Sopranos is still #1).

Not him but that's serious cherry picking. Comparing the best sitcom of the '90's to one of the worst. Seinfeld was in a class of it's own, but Fraiser was just a solid decent sit com and there are still those. Shitt's Creek is at least as good as the majority of older comedy shows.

Force Awakens was a pile of shit, but that's because it's Disney trying to make a Star Wars movie. And as much hate as he gets these days, George Lucas is really the only person who could.

Star Wars is now just like Tomb Raider. The name continues, but that's it.

>>4191885

Ok, what about Star Trek? Are you saying the new movies are better than the old? Are you saying the new MST3k was better than the old? Are you saying the new X-Files is better than the old?

Can you name a few things today that are far and away better than what came before it.

Why bother? You've already shown you have an irrational bias which is what this whole thing is about. Anything I name you'll just poo-poo and whine about it. You can live in a nostalgia box where everything new sucks if you want, but don''t go trying to drag everyone else down with you.

>>4191994
>You mean like BBT is highly rated now?
Exactly. Today's "best show" is garbage to compared to the "best shows" of yesteryear.
>Yeah, we're done here.
You're claiming Schitt's fucking Creek, a show on for what, 2 years, is better than a majority of old comedies (Frasier, Cheers, Cosby Show, All in the Family, Honeymooners, The Office (UK)).
>Why bother?
So you have none. I don't have any bias, I just call it like it is. I think baseball is better nowadays. There's less steroids, and better stats to keep track of player performance. I like the fact that most TV shows are 10 episodes per season as opposed to 22 episodes. I like things like Spotify with the custom radio stations you can make.
>Anything I name you'll just poo-poo and whine about it.

>>4192008
>You're claiming Schitt's fucking Creek, a show on for what, 2 years, is better than a majority of old comedies

It's at least as good. That it's only been on for a couple of years is besides the point. It's like an SCTV sketch that's a whole sitcom, I think it's fantastic. If you don't that's fine, but I don't put any weight in your opinion.

>Give it a try, stop being a pussy.
And no, I won't try to change your mind. Why would I want to bother when your attitude is that shitty. Be sour all you want. Just don't expect me to be sour with you.

>>4192023
>It's at least as good
No fucking way. You just have numale taste. It's alright. I like Eugene Levy and that girl from 12 Monkeys but it's really nothing great.
>And no, I won't try to change your mind.
I'm not asking to change my mind. I'm asking you to present some things that you think are better today than they were in the past. You have none, that's the point.

I will readily admit I have some form of autism and the low poly angular geometric shapes and layouts of ps1/ps2 era games makes my dick hard. ps1 era capcom is possibly the best at this, it was when they were at their height in terms of design philosophy and willingness to try something that isn't guaranteed to print money.

The whole point of this was to get people to see that new isn't always better. ESPECIALLY when NEW is just OLD, but made by KEKS.
Cucks who don't ultimately care about the finished product.
If they did, then why is there DAY 1 updates!?!?! DLC!!!
Things used to come as complete as possible, no room for ANYTHING new. Yeah, a few hiccups, but that's cause the

No I don't. You can't name one fucking thing. If you said "I think there's better documentaries now than before", I'd agree with you.

It's shocking that you can't just say "X of today is better than X of 20 years". Of course you keep saying you're done replying, but you keep replying anyway.

>>4192191
Well I think Seinfeld might be the greatest sitcom of all time. I think Shitt's Creek is far funnier than either Friends or Fraiser, and I liked Fraiser. And it's funnier than most other sitcoms of the '90's and virtually all those of the 80's outside maybe SCTV.

I also think Orange is the New Black with the exception of the bizarrely shark jumping last season was one of the best mixes of comedy and drama since M.A.S.H. But I bet you have a slur of insults in response to that.

Solid 6/10 for baiting another reply though. No allcaps at least.

>>4192229
So you think Schitt's Creek is better than Frasier and Friends, but not Seinfeld. So the old still wins.

You think Orange is the new Black is the best comedy drama since MASH (you didn't say it was better than MASH).

So you still can't name ONE THING that's better today than before. Of course when I say "things were better in the best" you whip out the "rose colored glasses" and "nostalgia" lines.

>>4192354

>"Rosebud is more probably Welles’s intuition of the illusory flashback effect of memory that will affect all of us, particularly at the very end of our lives: the awful conviction that childhood memories are better, simpler, more real than adult memories – that childhood memories are the only things which are real. The remembered details of early existence – moments, sensations and images – have an arbitrary poetic authenticity which is a by-product of being detached from the prosaic context and perspective which encumbers adult minds, the rational understanding which would rob them of their mysterious force. We all have around two or three radioactive Rosebud fragments of childhood memory in our minds, which will return on our deathbeds to mock the insubstantial dream of our lives."

Not him but...

Sopranos always has been and always will be highly overrated due to how garbage dramas were then and before, and Breaking Bad was it's superior in every way imaginable. Fuck, throw in The Wire or Mad Men and Sopranos is metaphorically left on the floor crying like a bitch as it bleeds out.

No Country For Old Men is a better thriller than any film released before it and handled it's themes, characters, and action with a degree of expertise that couldn't be dreamed of in decades prior.

Action films in general are just plain better, the best of the 80's and 90's aged like dog shit.

The Amazing Spider-Man films were better than the Rami trilogy, and it's mind boggling that anyone could defend the corny Rami trash.

The more recent Planet of the Apes rebooted trilogy not only humiliates the awful sequels to the original, but even rises above the original itself.

Nolan's trilogy, while imperfect, is better than than Tim Burton's silly goth circus and the trash sequels.

Seinfeld is amazing, but claiming that "nothing is better therefore everything is shit now" is beyond retarded and outright self defeating because that means that Seinfeld was better than anything before ITSELF, so either you're an autist obsessed with certain decades or you need to admit that all high bars are raised eventually.

Sonic Mania is right up there with the classic 2D Sonic games and is proof that not only can good things still be made but that they can improve drastically considering it's undeniably better than any Sonic game since S&K3 (including gems like the Advance, Rush, and Generations titles).

Kid Icarus: Uprising is better than the original and GB sequel.

There's an endless stream of comparisons I could give, but here's the real kicker here; they're all just opinions like yours. Sorry you're so obsessed with nostalgia, maybe the past is waiting at the bottom of the bridge or the end of a rope for you?

I named something that I thought was better than almost every other older show, besides one of the best ever. Another that hadn't been bested in 40 years. And still you dismiss it as "NOTHING" and throw out more worthless insults. You might as well say Shakespeare was the greatest storyteller of all time so everything before and after is worthless trash.

If this wasn't all just trolling, you really are kinda nuts.

So you still haven't named something that's currently better than something from the past.

He wasn't. He was great. He had great prose. But from a storytelling standpoint there are better.
>If this wasn't all just trolling, you really are kinda nuts.

A great film, but it's 10 years old at this point, so it doesn't help your case. And it wasn't better than Fargo.
>Action films in general are just plain better, the best of the 80's and 90's aged like dog shit.

Yes I did. Are you this fucking dense? Yes, Seinfeld is a brilliant shining star, but part of what makes it shine so brightly is the Friends and Wings and Family Matters that surrounded it.

>>4192564
>It's the time, not the movies. If someone then revealed that it was a lie and some of them were made last year you'd then start saying they weren't that good.
Not true at all. Movies of the past weren't loaded with CGI, quick cuts, shakey cam, quips every 5 seconds, etc. If a movie without these things was made today and was good, it would get my praise.

>>4192609
>Yes, Seinfeld is a brilliant shining star, but part of what makes it shine so brightly is the Friends and Wings and Family Matters that surrounded it.
No it doesn't stupid. Seinfeld is still one of the top shows in syndication 20 years later and was sold for a boat load of $ to Hulu. That has nothing to do with the other mediocre shows of the era. By your logic any show isn't as good because it was surrounded by garbage.
>That really went over your head? Not the point.
You explained it poorly. Maybe if you spend less time talking about Shakespeare and more time talking about what YOU THINK is better today, this conversation could go somewhere. As it is, you're acting like an autistic faggot. I feel sorry for your.

It's not that Seinfeld is made less good because of what else was on at the time, it's that Seinfeld isn't representative of the era as a whole. It's an outlier. Saying something now is shit because it only eclipses 95% of what came before, or hasn't been bested in over 40 years is ridiculous.

>>4192646
>It's not that Seinfeld is made less good because of what else was on at the time, it's that Seinfeld isn't representative of the era as a whole.
That's why there's Frasier. And the Larry Sanders Show. And The Simpsons (seasons 2-9). And Cheers. And The Cosby Show.
>Saying something now is shit because it only eclipses 95% of what came before, or hasn't been bested in over 40 years is ridiculous.
When did I say that? I pointed out numerous shows that were better in the past, you brought up Schitt's Creek (but said it wasn't better than Seinfeld). So how does that not prove my argument that sitcoms of the past weren't better than they are today? As a whole the comedy shows of the past destroy the comedy shows of the last 5-10 years. (of course you think Schitt's Creek which has 2 seasons and maybe 20 episodes under its belt destroys Frasier).

>>4192656

>A great film, but it's 10 years old at this point, so it doesn't help your case. And it wasn't better than Fargo.
My idea of "modern" is 2000's+ but that might be because I'm not as young as you kiddo, and I respect that opinion but I believe No Country is the natural evolution of the Cohen brothers' work.
>Name an action film of today that's better than Die Hard, Predator, Terminator 1/2
Virtually anything, they were bad films that rode on cheesy one-liners and mediocre "action" i.e. shooting guns while yelling, poorly choreographed fight scenes, and gratuitous explosions. Also both Predator and Terminator relied heavily on dated special effects that yank modern viewers right out of the experience only to elicit chuckles. If you want a named film, any Daniel Craig Bond film is a better action flick than those you listed, that's how poorly they've aged.
>This can't be real.
I grew up with the original, and while it holds up surprisingly well it's still a very pulpy film, and keep in mind that I'm not including Tim Burton's embarrassing entry. It would be sad if you honesty consider defending the later sequels of the original though, they're fucking awful.
>Again, Begins is 12 years old and TDK is 9 years old. It doesn't fit into your "current" category.
See above kiddo, I consider 2000's and above recent just like how you prefer to lump the 80's and 90's together.
>When did I make that claim?
That's literally the basis of your arguments, that THING made then is best, so name THING better or else NEW is all bad.

No way either of those is better than Sopranos.
>My idea of "modern" is 2000's+
So 17 years ago is still "current to you". That's like me in the year 2000 saying that movie from 1983 belongs in the conversation about current movies.
>Virtually anything,
Name one.
>I grew up with the original, and while it holds up surprisingly well it's still a very pulpy film,
It's better than all of the recent Ape films. And the sequels were hit and miss.
>See above kiddo, I consider 2000's and above recent just like how you prefer to lump the 80's and 90's together.
80's and 90's are lumped together because of their similar style (not much CGI, no shakey cam, no quick cuts, etc).
>That's literally the basis of your arguments, that THING made then is best, so name THING better or else NEW is all bad.
I never said that. There's funny shows right now. But none surpass the 90's gems.
>Fantastic meme, I'm sure it makes you feel like a big boy when you watch daddy's VHS collection.
You're the supposed older guy who thinks 80's actions films haven't held up well and the action films of today are better. I bet you just looked up what a VHS is.

And before you mention Transformers or Avatar, the only thing those movie franchises are notable for is the height that they achieved stacking shit.

Nostalgia exists because its who we are. All our hopes, dreams, inspirations, fears, doubts, pain.
We're surrounded by it. Family, friends, media, architecture.
The past is there to learn from, you don't have to LIVE there, but if you want to make it? You have to learn from others, yourself, within. If you forget about the pasy, you forget yourself and everything you wanted to do. Past, present and future really do exist together. If you stamp out the past, what's left of the future?
If life is too hard or difficult, look to the past and remember who you are.
Or pull the trigger.

No, by your definition that's already part of being ill.

That being said, I'm not chasing the past I'm chasing the present and future by playing things that are better from the past. I do have fond memories of stuff from the past but I play retro games like I would any other game. I play more retro games because they're many of them are simply better games than modern games and I play games because that's what I do. I'm just as likely to pick up a more modern game if it's not shitty - but most of them aren't.

Retro video arcade games didn't have "gamers" so much as they had "every fucking person on the earth who could basically move and had quarters to spare." The first video arcades were curiosity to everyone and everyone from various age and various demographics essentially played them. It was sort of like carnival rides or shooting galleries. People who were gamers would come out of it, but for the majority they were novelty fads at the arcades. Amusement arcades which predated video arcades with mechanical attractions, electromechanical (like pinball) and which many grew into video arcades. None of those people were "arcaders" the way in which "gamers" came out of video games.

It's similar to also gamers in board games verse the fact that everyone has fucking played monopoly (albeit almost always absolutely incorrectly). But there are people who literally spend almost all their time, testing, making, creating, and or playing various tabletop/board games. The way there are people who do similar with video games. Pixels is the equivocal of saying you're a tabletop gamer because you played monopoly when you were kid.

That's not to say non-gamers can't be good at games, some are, some of the best players come from non-gaming backgrounds to dominate a single game and still don't care about games.

If you think any if this was against enjoying old games you're completely off base. There's never been anything wrong with Liking old games or enjoying playing them. It's about the people who use them as a crutch for engaging in nostalgia. The ones who make topics lamenting about growing up and how everything now is worse than it was when they were young. It's that the sense of nostalgia used to be described as so unpleasant and disturbing to be considered an illness. But now it's a sensation that some actively chase.

Partly it's that it's fascinating the way things change, there was a time when many of the things common about today's culture are seen very differently. But also it clearly brings a lot of people hete great pain and unhappiness.

I know what you mean. I've ALWAYS known. Read the Bugenhagan thing above (right above Yoda, careful).
Some people listen to that, lonnnnnng before it was in any video game, and it's what I believe. I didn't WANT for this to be a big war. I don't like being an asshole, yelling and screaming an shit. It takes resources I'd rather put into other endeavours. Shit's tiring. It took a couple days for me to calm down before I did the Bugenhagan thing. But I HAVE to getthrough to people about BOTH topics. They are bound together. Right at the hip. To make fun of or hate either, is huge disservice to allllll that was sacrificed in the past. Slap in the face really.
But yes, no one can live in tje past. Just visit. And if you think people only play for nostalgia? You gonna need wayy more tuition money, kid.

If people are making threads it's 'cause they're looking to reach out a bit. Do you know how lonely it can be as gamer? NO ONE knows what you're talking about.

And when I do, it's a mix of "yeah, whatever faggot" and "fucking rights, eh faggot". But I'm not HERE alll the time. Besides, books and what not are fine foreading, but here is like looking into other peoples' heads a lil bit.
Nostalia will always play a factor in all we do.

Oh yeah, I don't use FB or twitter or any of that. And I just came here for some memes and to see what the big deal was, originally.

Ok, think about it this way: you like learning, right? All the things you didn't know about you're favourite subject seemed like an exciting new place to dicover, right? But the world get's a bit smaller, lil stale. So you advance, to the next level of the subject brcause again, it's an exciting new world, filled with challenges and experiences. Then you meet other people with the same interests, and you all share your stories about that one question or calculatuon that just kicked your ass. You all talk and have a good time, but eventually you part and go your own way. For a time. Then you come back again. Looking for help or a laugh, simething. So you go to the people you "know." aAnd it's all powered by recapturing that "feeling."
Nostalgia, babeh.

Or maybe people just want to play old games because they like them?

HMMMM

>>4200593
Of course, they're not the ones who have a problem. But that doesn't help the ones who do.

This is like in a discussion about the perils of alcoholism you feel the need to chime in and say some dudes like to share a pint with friends. Obvious and really beside the point.

I wasn't even alive when these games came out, so how can it be nostalgia?

>>4190934
No thanks, I'm not into real lolita shit

It was fun to buy old games for cheap. Back in the golden days of early 00s living in an area full of crackheads and pawn shops was great for a gamer kid.
Ps1, snes & n64 games at 5$ a pop.
I'd get a new game every week.But then they caught on to ebay prices and pawn shops just stopped carrying retro games.

Do you even READ the credits? I do. The entire thing. There's alot of names there. More than there ever was now. So let me say thank you.
Alright. Done.

>>4203298
You need to go back

You're the one on 4chan using retard terms like virtue signaling and talking about other websites.

>>4203331
Your point?

>>4203335
You're the one who sounds like an outsider.

I'm not telling you to leave, but running all over the site saying "dur hurr go somewhere else" is super weak trolling.

>>4203346
You thinking I'm sounding like an outsider is all the proof I need. Why not just be honest and admit to it?

You think I cared about your opinion. This isn't reddit. We don't rate things here.

yeah, and that's ALSO a hobby. Anyone who thinks they HAVE to be an alky, is a coward. Running away like videogame nostalgists. There's better games and a hell of alot more to do in this world. But I still play some old ones. Decent collection of old and new.If I had xbox gold on 360, I'd be playing L4D2 with the dlc which makes 1 AND 2. Sweeet.

Because that's what nostalgia IS. Friends, family, NEW people to make MORE memories with. I already look back on this thread. Trying to learn how to keep defending. My MEMORIES will make it so I can draw from the past. Why do you keep posting on this.
I REALLY thought I was done here. Fucksakes.....

Just consider for one moment that you lost your past? Where would you be? What would you be doing?

I know in a way, I lost mine. I grew up surounded by white people. Try that. Being minority. The LEAST of the minorities. In North America anyway.
And other Natives don't trust OR like me. I'm STILL alone in this. A LOT of Natives are still bitter about things.
I'm too strange or too "white". Especially when I was a kid.
But I still have my MEMORIES. Except for a few consumer goodies, my MEMORIES are all I have.

And it sucks all kinds of balls when the asshole memories start lurking, but I try my best to counter THOSE with the happy ones. There ain't many, but thanks to /vr/ and 4chan in general, I've been able to make MORE funny memories. You're allll helping me here. Yes, evn the assholes in this thread.
That's NOSTALGIA, BABY. The elemnt that won't cop out when there's heat about.

I had to adopt a buncha other cultures and look on awesome people for inspiration. You know how much that sucks? Yeah I'm slowly learning about my actual past, but I'd like to talk to some older natives. Hopefully some of the bitterness will wear off If I ask in a nice way, hahaha. I'm sure it'll be alright, just gotta go ask.
This whole 'living in 2 worlds" one foot in each, is a pain in the ass. It's 3, if it's anything.

You should be paying more attention to them and less to the funny ones.

>>4203884
>Where would you be? What would you be doing?

You'd be wherever you are and you could do whatever you want. The past is a shackle.

I don't care if it is indeed mental illness.

I find comfort and happiness playing retro games that I don't get from modern games. I remember reading something during my early days on 4chan about how people reach a limit at a certain age where they just can't grasp the present. They're not interested in the hot new gadget or technology and to them it's stupid and unnecessary. So they stick with what they know, what they enjoyed when they were young. I think nostalgia is part of everyone's life, everyone thinks fondly of some part of their childhood.

It's just stupid people though. That's the joke.
