the old gamers are honestly the most frustrating to watch. seeing people trying to chase their own nostalgia is really sad. People will never get their first time experience again

And modern gamers make me sad because they don't give old stuff a chance.

that's important to remember tbh

I tend to forget it when setting up oId experiences

NO MY CRT NEEDS TO BE IN THAT ROOM

YEAH WELL YOU KNOW WHAT?! MAYBE I'M FED UP WITH BEING DISREGARED! YOU'RE GOING TO LISTEN TO ME WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT! I REFUSE TO BE SILENT!!!

[Liftea 11]

it's like people actively trying to prevent themselves to be more open for things they might like

[Snakeskin94 13]

Yeah dude same- they're completely jaded and cynical- they don't have the wonder or excitement for the medium still but thats all they know.

Either it was their childhood or it was their job 🤷🏽‍♂️ its frustrating- and they think they're the only ones with valid takes and opinions.

[Noleen#7811 3]

atleast you are motivated

[Sam N 10]

I just...HNNNG GOD WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!? I have gone through twelve agonizing years of being overlooked and outcast! And if you think I'm going tolerate one more firetrucking minute--!

[Snakeskin94 13]

Sam its ok- you're taking it too literal/personal; ain't your fault. You're good bud

[Liftea 11]

it's crazy to see all these old time FF fans playing XIV for the very first time and expecting to hate it for being a MMORPG and then they reach Heavensward and it turns into the 2nd coming of Christ for them because they can't believe that they are getting this feeling again they used to have as a child with their favorite game. And then they realize that this feeling is not necessarily tied to their nostalgia. It's something new and exciting

[Sam N 10]

NO I AM NOT GOOD! DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME HOW I FEEL!

[Snakeskin94 13]

Yeah its crazy what trying something new can do for the pallet lmao

[Noleen#7811 3]

ffxiv

[Snakeskin94 13]

I meant like-- it's ok, just.calm down, you're having a moment, I get it, it's fine

No one here is attacking you

[Sam N 10]

fine

[Noleen#7811 3]

sorry bro

prob my fault

[Liftea 11]

and I experience this currently again in God of War Ragnarök. I absolutely didn't like certain segments of the start but I gave it another chance and I absolutely love it now

says a Iot tbh

sometimes patience pays off

it can pay off BIG time

[Sam N 10]

Well...I would have appreciated you not making the comment that I don't matter

[Snakeskin94 13]

He didn't mean it like that-- he meant, as a gamer- to the company

The corporations

[Noleen#7811 3]

yeah i guess, that wasn't a personal attack tho sorry

[Sam N 10]

That doesn't improve things...

[Liftea 11]

the next game I will try and expect to hate it is Genshin Impact btw I promised a friend to play the entire story

[Sam N 10]

Apology accepted. I guess.

[Snakeskin94 13]

The story, and I'm not being sarcastic, is pretty good.

There's ways they tell and write I'm not a fan of, but, it's pretty solid.

Now the exploration/finding-all-the-shit aspect tho- that blows lol

[Noleen#7811 3]

they went a bit too hard on collectibles that aren't really fun to get, and the arena thing just grindy for no real reason
