fucking lucky faggot, you have family that loves you

way to make me depressed

/v/ are just filled with trolls and queers who don't even play video games, I thought the game was awesome.

>>30898387

Advent Children was a visual masterpiece. If you watch it without the volume on, it's beautiful.

>FF7

this. not many people will know the nostalgic rush of loading a tape and that is a great shame.

weird, the same thing happened with me as a kid but it was my cousin who beat the game.

DKC2. Played it religiously with my best childhood friend, who happens to be a girl.

Quest 64.

I saw the commercials.

I wanted it.

I got it for my birthday.

It was harder than I expected, trying to balance four elements. Eventually I just stuck with Earth and Water, and things turned out much better.

I remember the pain of Solvaring's Quartz Blast, since you had to be close for Water Pillar Lv2.

I remember slogging all the way through Cull Hazard(those dragons ;_;) and coming upon my favorite city in the game, Normoon. I remember the forest, I remember Zelse... and I certainly recall getting hit by Wind Horizon and losing 60 HP.

The rage involved in the Blue Cave, especially since I didn't know Brian turned automatically to face the direction he was before combat started after it's over... I remember putting some points into Fire for Nepty, and just spamming Magma Rock from afar.

They're all really strong memories to me.

I know the graphics weren't good and the game was mostly incomplete.

But I admired it. I also admired Shannon, who did a heel-face-turn and threatened to kill your father unless you killed King Beigis and opened Mammon's Dimension.

I'll keep on loving it.

>>30898387
That was fucking awesome.

THAT's how you enjoy a fucking game, not the screaming and bitching you hear from /v/ most of the time.

>>30898581
Now you fricking youngsters go and play some commodore 64 games and then come back and tell me your games aren't hard enough

>>30898387
>Back in 1997, I was in elementary school

ITT

youngfags with shitty nostalgia

shenmue. just totally blew me away.

>>30898387
Hate to burst your bubble, but your uncle wasn't awesome. As long as you have omnislash, in the final battle the limit builds up automatically and when you use it it kills him.

>>30898581
fuck it took a long time didnt it, You had to see out the game just to make up for the time you invested loading

Banjo Kazooie will always hold a place of honor in my heart.

Awesome dialog, awesome music, awesome locations. Just an awesome game.

IN the summer, I woul spend a month in a house with no TV.
Some years after we began vacationing there, I got a Game Boy, and eventually Link's Awakening. Every summer from then on, I would erase last year's complete file (all hearts, 2nd level sword) and begin anew.
It was magical.

StarCraft, Command and Conquer (the original), Diablo 2, WarCraft, and WoW will ALWAYS be special to me.

>>30898387
*tear*

>>30898649

..You're actually bragging about that?

>>30898731

Oh, I'm sorry I'm not a 40 year old loser who lives with his parents, btw I'm 20 years old now, do the math.

Playing Secret of Mana with my cousin back in the day. Better times anon, better times.

>>30898755
Fun fact: You do not need Omnislash to beat Sephiroth.

Hell, most people didn't know it existed without going to a guide. Omnislash is given to you automatically in that final fight, though.

C&C one. The mammoth tank, my god. Fuck you up, son.

>>30898809
>btw I'm 20 years old now, do the math.

once a youngfag always a youngfag

Conkers bad fur day - First ever game i had the most fun on, and whenever my cousin use to come and baby sit my little sister we would play it.

Being a Teddy bastard with the sniper rifle defending our base from the onslaught of french squirrels trying to get to France was hilarious. Also the campaign was a great laugh even though it was hard at parts.

My dad raped me after I beat FF7. I begged him not to but he just wouldn't stop.

"CLOUD WANTS YOU TO DO THIS FOR ME!"

;____;

A few years after my father was jailed, but it still hurts just as much as it did that day. I can never play FF7 again.

Tibia (played for 5years+)

And I own like 6 level 100+ and around 25.000.000 gp (all that shit in 1-2 year)

An RPG on the Sega Megadrive called Soliel... I think the American name was called Crusaders Centry or something.

Playing Super Mario Bros. 3 on a television outside, in the sun.

>>30898768
yeah. but it was well-worth the wait.
>>30898728
i made sure my youngest brother wasn't ignorant to it by putting a C64 emu and the dizzy games on his PSP. and he does play them.
i will let him use my real c64's as soon as i can make sure my tapes still work.

Crash. Team. Racing.

My fucking god, for 3 years I had a 6 or 7 friends and my sister play this shit every weekend. It never got old and we had a blast, whether if it was after going to the movies, before going to the park, whatever.

Definitely fond memories of it. Oh and of SMB3 since I had a neighbor who'd come to play everyday. Damn, I'm just realizing how much free time kids have and I sort of miss it.

FF8

Being a teenaged depressed stoner really let me identify with squall.

Morrowind. Best game. Period. /thread etc.

Grim Fandango. I played that for about three years, I know the entire story by heart. Some of my favorite memories as a young teen were of me sitting in my room with my only friend, who eventually became my nerdy anti-social girlfriend, and playing Grim Fandango. That game brought us together, and now we're still dating years later.

FF8 IS BETTER

playing runescape classic for 5-6 years , shit will always have the best pvp system to me. Every other game was padded with bull shit about how you dont lose items when you die. In my opinon it was even up there with Diablo and Ultima.

this game was prob the best of its time.

>>30898943
>depressed
>stoner

Something doesn't add up here.

>>30898925

>sister

Mmm. Ever eat her out?

>>30898943
FF8? Morrowind? You best be trollin boy

>>30898951

>implication any female has ever been interested in Grim Fandango or any other shitty Lucas Arts game

>>30899014
>implying Super Star Wars is shitty.

>>30898996

What? Those games were great! Morrowind actually got me laid, and ff8 just plain kicks ass.

>>30898990

What? All stoners are happy go lucky hippies?

i fukkin halo all fukkin day cunts an me boys all lovin the game young boys n we halo masters only 13 fukkas even on street no me still as halomaster cuz we wur so fukkin ace onit

>>30898992

Mega Man Battle Network 2. I made so many friends over discussion of that game...

Man, I love final fantasy, though my favorite of the series has to be five. The job system was fun!

This. I never got past level 2, but it was such a fun game that i kept on playing it even though it consistently kicked my ass over and over again.

I can still play this and have a lot of fun, it also got me into Mech anime.

>>30899082

WAT
FUCK THOSE GAMES

>>30899051

>>30899014
>implying sam and max, Day of the tentacle and full throttle are shit

Dead Space...
I know it's but a year old, but goddamn, I played that game with my bro from start to finish completely stoned out of our minds, it was just such a solid, thrilling, and endearing experience.
Keep in mind we would spend like 20 minutes in every hallway and room, soaking in all the detail, all the bodies, all the writing on the walls, so much death, and we would constantly wander and imagine how each body we came across met its doom.

>>30898986
>In my opinon it was even up there with Diablo and Ultima.
> up there with Diablo and Ultima.
>up there

>>30898387
Here's to your uncle, a true patriot.

Anyway, I greatly enjoyed the game, but I still enjoyed IX and X more. And we don't mean to be mean, we're just grouchy and lonely. Sorry /v/ ;_;

Anyway, the game that's special to me is the first Diablo since it was the game my dad taught me to play, getting me into gaming. A gift or a curse? Time will tell.

Soldier of Fortune Gold Edition.
I know, i know, shit game.
but my father and i would spend many a night in this setup.
I had the house, for shooting. he had the joystick, for movement.
we would spend evenings shouting NO LEFT A BIT! GET BEHIND THE WALL! NO STAND UP I CANT AIM! GOT HIM! AHH HIS HEAD IS MISSING THIS IS AWESOME.
platforming sections were some of the best father son bonding we hvae ever done.
shit was immense.

>>30899049
Generally, smoking weed doesn't make you fucking depressed, so yes, they are all happy-go-lucky hippies. Have you ever seen a fucking genuinely sad stoner?

there are so many games that are special to me.

>>30899193

FF9 FTL TBH...

8 and 10 sure, but 9? no ty.

>>30899214

Yeh, I was one for years actually.

>>30899236

9 was the last decent Final Fantasy that isn't handheld

A Link to the Past.

My mom had been playing it for a long time. I would sometimes come in and watch her play, she was pretty good. I remember she made it up to one of the later dungeons with the help of a guide we found while browsing around in Borders. Yes, back then, there was no gamefaqs, or at least I had never heard of it; I doubt we even had a computer at that point anyway. Nintendo Power offered little insight. So we stumbled across a book that gave hints for SNES games and she got past a part that she had been stuck on for a long time. But then disaster struck. I decided to try playing the game myself. But in my foolish youth I somehow ended up deleting her save file, and starting a new game over it. When she realized what had happened she was so sad. I felt terrible when I realized what I did. It ended up being the final blow that made her give up video games. I promised myself I would beat the game in her place. I was so young I had to learn everything about the game by trial and error, it took me months to finally complete it. But as a result, I know the entire game by heart and can beat it in just a few hours.

>>30899302

Now I know you're joking.

>>30899236

Don't get FF9, that was absolutely terrible

I loved playing Wurm Online with /v/ earlier this year. That was such an experience. Mining with the bros, exploring that huge game world, and even though I was lost, confused, and starving I still had so much fun in that game. I remember I was separated from the initial /v/ group that was going to the town, and I was walking down a path in the game completely lost, and a scorpion attacks me. Suddenly as I'm trying to run away, I see "GET HIM BROS!" start spamming in the chat log as three people run out of the forest and attack the scorpion.

Of course they were all nearly killed, but it was funny to see two of them run away as the third was limping after them, his legs broken from the scorpion.

>>30898387

Your story made me shed a manly tear, thank you for that anon.

pic very much related

>>30899371

I was working at Blockbuster when it came out, had to try being an FF fag. Yeah, I suffered through it to beat it, and was left wondering... why?

>>30898755
Even if you didn't get Omnislash previously, you'll still have it for that battle. It's the canon way Cloud beat Sephiroth.

>>30899372

>>30899214
you must not know very many potheads, they're all fucking depressing individuals

>>30899500

Good times. Good times. ;_;

I remember playing Zelda on a train to see my grandparents. True story.

>>30899522

don't get too drunk to fuck, average bro DARE fags

The Tenchu series is pretty cool too.

I love rikimaru, he is really brave guy who doesn't afraid of anything.

>>30898387
>But the reason that I love FF7 was because of that time period. Back in 1997, I was in elementary school and my uncle would

>Back in 1997, I was in elementary school and my uncle would

>Back in 1997, I was in elementary school

>1997, elementary school

WUT?

>>30899193
It's a gift.........AND a curse. It's a GIFT... and a curse.

>>30899193
>Patriot
>Good person

GTFO, and you don't even understand that MGS condemns patriotism

Crash Bandicoot 2+3. My Mom used to watch me playing and getting all that crystalls and gems. together we puzzled for such a long time. it was awesome, brings back memories. moreover CB 2+3 were my first games. bring old times back again....

>>30899495
And that's not even a REAL final battle. That's in his friggin head, considering that if you don't use the limit Cloud counterattacks and OHKOs him.

>>30899634

What's really weird is people born in 1991 can buy cigarettes now.

I know what you mean, OP.
It's 1999, and I'm a kid with short hair. I'm in Swansea with my parents one day, and we decide to go into Toys R Us to look at the N64 games.
I find a small crowd of people, and wonder what they're doing. Slaloming between their legs, I happen across...this sight.
This image is one that will stay with me forever - Sonic the Hedgehog, in glorious 3D, running away from a giant killer whale. The Dreamcast whirred happily in its pod, and after much waiting I eventually got a go.
My first hands-on experience of Sonic Adventure was of moving around Station Square (Speed Highway section) as Knuckles, finding emerald shards, and since, it's been possibly my favourite game ever. The Orange Box and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask stand alongside it proudly in my mind.

way too many games I'd have to mention. I don't feel like choosing one in particular.

BUT DAMNIT WE GAMERS ARE THE LUCKIEST BITCHES IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

>>30898387
NOP!
I found it better to play with myself

I remember renting the original Sega genesis with my dad and going home to play some Madden football. Yeah we rented the console a couple of times. Shit was cash. I always loved when a guy got hurt and the ambulance came out and ran everyone over.

>>30899306

>>30899095
This game is impossible

>>30899634

What's strange about it? Im same as OP, turned 8 in 1997, as I was playin sum ff7

>>30899763
Oh and my sister used to play sonic 2 with me and my bro.

MGS, of course.

And then there's Cyberdogs, which I played my my bro and my 2 cousins. Shit was so awesome.

Same for SSB every single christmas day dince the day it came out. Still played it all night last year.

You know... it's really when you remember those times that you realise that FUCK CALL OF DUTY AND HALO

>>30898858
haha oh my lord, what a colossal faggot. Seriously, I'm smiling and laughing as I type this, by god.

>>30898739
second

>>30899829

I know right? But it had great mechanics.

>>30899657
And you're a kid teeming with impotent rage which blinds you to the fact that's a light-hearted quotation, not a profession of personal ideals.

Silkroad Online.
:'( I was a sad little boy.

I'm probably the only person who thinks this, but I was completely obsessed with Ultima: Exodus for the NES. It was one of the first RPGs I ever played, and I thought the format was very innovative at the time. Now, I think I would just be scared off by how tedious it was.

Still, for the time it was a pretty kick ass RPG.
