wanted to play a certain game as a kid but couldn't for whatever reason
spend years fantasizing about it and what it contains
decades later realize I can just go and play it right now
afraid of ruining the idealized image I have of it in my head
will never be able to play it with childlike naivete for the first time
Have you ever experienced this
A little with vidya but shows and older anime tend to hit me harder with this kind of feeling. I find it really difficult to start watching because of it.
The commercials for this made me want it so bad as a kid. I ended up emulating it with Dolphin a few years ago and got bored as shit. I legitimately remember nothing of it despite beating it too.
I'm sure if I did play it as a kid I would have liked it though
go back to your AIslop thread
Me with Chrono Trigger.
How the hell does this have anything to do with AI?
Yes, with Too Human. As a teen this looked like the coolest game in the world to me and for years I dreamed of playing it and never did. I'm sure it's mediocre as hell but my imagination went crazy at how cool it probably was. Have not even seen a single screenshot of gameplay to this day, I'm sufe it's absolutely nothing like I imagined
Yeah, and then I told my friends I did play it based on what I imagined the gameplay would be like.
Yes, I find myself going through game like a king goes though prostitutes.
It's a one off thing and then i never touch that particoular one again and move to the next the day after because I like it while i think about how much time it docked from my duties.
And sometimes I think to the "back then" when i didn't have everything at my fingertips 100% of the times, when having fun was sweet and carefree, when I would play with one over and over because I liked it and there wasn't much else to do.
I can't relate to idealizing a game without ever playing it
will never be able to play it with childlike naivete for the first time
it's a mindset, not something you lose
i've found myself appreciating games a lot more recently, you've just got to look for that personal touch that seeps through
Sneed
he was never a kid poring over game magazines looking at screenshots of games you can't get for whatever reason (no money, parents don't allow it, don't have the console, the game simply isn't available locally etc)
Sounds sad desu
I played it as a kid and don't remember anything except using cheats to unlock the bonus costumes.
It's a mindset, in cases where it can be a mindset, I've played some fantastic old games that made me feel like a kid again, but I've also replayed some nostalgic childhood favorites and realized they suck
There are tons of games you would've thought are the best thing ever if you played them as a kid, that you aren't able to care for as an experienced adult
Yeah, I've been going through that. My inner child wants to complete and beat so many games but my outer adult is very much moved on and thinking what's the point?
Like every day I get cravings for SNES games. Back then, in 90s we didn't have enough money for games, I ended up with probably 4-5 that we owned and rented a lot though.
i did that with final fantasy 7. i was a kid when it came out, but i had an n64. i first played ff7 at 25, and it exceeded by expectations in every way. it absolutely is one of the best games ever made.
Drawn to Life DS and Code Lyoko Wii
play old well regarded classic for the first time
it's as good as everyone said
Feels good
Had a surprisingly decent time playing this on Dolphin but if I had played it as a kid in 2003 it would have bricked my shit up
Same happened to me with FF7, it's an amazing feel when an overhyped game actually surpasses your expectations, it also happened to me with Chrono Trigger
Yeah I loved it as a kid, but realized it was kind of sparse and slow when I tried replaying it recently
I liked how difficult it was though, made for a lot of memorable moments, haven't gotten that far in my replay to confirm if they're actually difficult or if I was a shitter as a kid
I was just playing Mario64
A friend had it and I played a little so it had a mysterious quality to it, I had this image in my head that the castle was endless with hundreds of mysteries.
The trouble is that now I just get annoyed with how cryptic some of the stars are.
It's a shame because when I was a kid I used to like exploring and discovering secrets, I wish I played it when I was younger.
eat feet eat feet eat feet
fuck yeah! i played this and the third one with my dad as a kid and loved them
>eat feet eat feet eat feet
Lmao yeah that's the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about the game, also SLICE N DICE
I forget Americans are a minority on Anon Babble now
honestly it's pretty bad, very dull and repetitive pretty much the whole way through
I remember the sequels being better but they might not hold up either. Ironically the GBA version is way better.
You think every American kid played every game they wanted?
He thinks its about AI Claude playing Pokemon because he didn't read
I wish I played Pokemon as a kid because I just can't get into it as an adult
Yeah, Digimon World. Still never played it. DL'd it a bunch of times and just can't bring myself to play it. People say its shit but I don't care.
Yeah, Pokemon's one of those games that you have to play as a kid for the first time to "get". For a lot of people you can also only really play one without the magic being lost. Nothing compares to your first Pokemon game when you're 10 years old.
lel, you genuine fucking retard.
just smoke weed
it brings back that feeling of wonder
It doesn't bring back that childlike wonder at all. Sure its fun and I like doing it, but its a completely different feeling to that childhood amazement when playing a game you're gonna remember for the rest of your life.
Nothing can bring that feeling back.
Maybe when you first start smoking weed. Weed also loses it's magic after a few years of smoking.
I experienced this with the Sims 2 but it turned out to be pretty much exactly how I expected. Would've put several thousand hours into it though if I had been able to grow up on it lol
Me with the entire PS2 library (went from PS1 to PC and never looked back to consoles until recently)
