I'm at world 6 in my warpless no savescum Mario 2 Japan playthrough
Congratulations anon. Your parents must be proud.
>>12897918Are you havin fun
>>12898152Yeah actually, I felt really accomplished when I did it. I also just played a round of NES Open
>>12897918>Actually playing a retro game awardthis always feels like some weird projection. Its bizarre when random people on the internet tell you that you dont play games as if playing games is some aspirational activity.
>>12897918this game just oozes soul for some reason
>>12898172This is definitely true. It's usually extremely nerdy people who are hyperdefensive about particular games or their hobby in general.
>>12897918>cheap chinky emulation station that doesn't even take any cartsAwards are reserved for prime players using original carts and discs.Fake software, fake hardware, fake plaudits.
>>12898185not to mention that he doesn't even use the correct color palette.
>>12898172I took it to mean that OP is playing a game instead of bickering with strangers over stupid crap that is very loosely related to games (for example the tedious lectures on ethnicity and race going on in the Street Fighter 2 Blanka thread right now). That is a nice thing.
What does "no savescum" mean? Cuz mario 2 doesn't save at all and you're playan on emu.
>>12898172It's generally said to people who talk about anything but videogames on a videogame discussion imageboard. Obviously it isn't intended to uplift gaming, but to shit on irrelevant bitching. I'm sure you understand that though.
>>12897918Congrats OP I will never beat this game in a million years without cheating
>>12898512Is using state saves really cheating though?
>>12898517Yes? And using warpsAlso save states are mostly unnecessary since you can hold A on the start screen on NES to return to the level you died at with your normal lives returned
>>12898518>save states are mostly unnecessary since you can just cheat to return to the level you died at with your normal lives returnedUsing that code is worse than using warps.If you game over in Sonic and then go: up, down, left, right, A+start on the title screen and go back to the level you shat it on, you're fooling yourself thinking you're beating the game.
>>12897918I do not like this game. Actually it's really just the maze levels I don't like, they can go to fuck. The rest of it is okay.
>>12898252Not savestating at hard parts to retry them a bunch. I savestate at the beginning of each world
>>12897918Good thread OP. I'm currently replaying Snatcher!Reminder that if this thread angers you, you're a faggot poser who doesn't actually play games, and you're on here because you watch trannycoded, essayslop videos on youtube and watch Metal Jesus spend his mom's wealth on game collecting.
I played Banjo Kozuki once
I just beat Metroid II. It wasn't good
>>12899042But it is good though
>>12899047It's not, and the Queen Metroid being a really lame boss outside didn't help with my overall impression of it. When I beat the original Metroid I wanted to play it again immediately to get the best ending possible. I don't think I'll ever play Metroid II again.
>>12899108>being a really lame boss outside*outside of its design
I’m playing Zelda II and I’ve just finished the ocean palace. I fucking hate this game so much but I’m still having fun somehow.
>super mario twinsNot retro
>>12899165Update. I beat it and I'm a real hero. I did NOT cheese Dark Link and I fought him completely legit.
>>12898185As the creators intended
>>12898795>I savestate at the beginning of each worldyikes
>>12898172>this always feels like some weird projectionit's definitely projection, maybe even an in-joke. it's a common phenomenon. you get old enough to finally own all the videogame shit you always wanted, but now you have no time to play games. or can't even get any real enjoyment out of it. choice paralysis also settles in. you set up an emulation box with every /vr/ game ever released and then maybe browse the collection every once in a while, maybe playing a game or two for a couple of minutes, if that
