How did you get into gaming?

Kids are loud, full of energy, and annoying. Parents stick Nintendo into the electric jew- kids now very quiet. Kid now addicted to dopamine from gaymin'

My dad got it for mario bros, and then i played it for myself.
He then got a space game(i think it was metroid, but could also be an alien or terminator game) and the dark backgrounds scared me shitless.
Later still, i played zelda on my brother's game boy and the shopkeep killed me, so i hid the cardridge.

Come to think of it, i was a little faggot

Has PC gaming evolved from the 90s? Is it the same as it is now?

How would many of you describe it?


So the legends ARE true.

Way more evenly optimized, way less buggy. thanks to consoles...
Cyberpunk 2077 is a good example of how it used to be, it wasn't unusual for an ambitious game to be riddled with bugs, big and small. People might not agree with that because they remember it not being so bad but that was just because the pain tolerance was much higher at that time. Ultima 9 was worse than Cyberpunk and Daggerfall was more bugs than game. One annoying bug as described by a guy on reddit "Entering a dungeon, turning around and realizing it didn't generate a fucking door to exit the dungeon."
Dungeons were scary and I got trapped so many times. Getting launched across a city after climbing/jumping was also common.

PS2 was very popular at the start of the millennium. Your parents knew that they were doing. Favorite PS2 game?

Sly 2 Band of thieves. I do have a lot of nostalgia tied to it but it's the one game I played to death and had fun so many times with it. Granted there are other games from that generation I played but was way late to the game. As a kid I'd say Sly 2 but as an adult I'd say maybe Devil May cry 3.

When I was three years old, my parents got me a Gameboy Pocket for Christmas. My first two games were Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle 2 and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. I still have them in my closet somewhere.

A while later, they got me Pokemon: Red. That's where video games became a hobby that I still enjoy.

Nice choices. Sly 2 is great for all ages. My favorite is the Digital Devil Saga duology. Very unique setting, interesting story, best boy Gale, great soundtrack, and great gameplay. The PS2 era was Atlus's golden age.

As a kid, it was Ratchet and Clank Going Commando. I'd spend hours breaking stuff for bolts and turning enemies into sheep.

At my grandma's house, there was a PlayStation 2 and Xbox downstairs.

I was 4 or 5 at the time. There was NASCAR, Stuntman, Splinter Cell, and Max Payne 2. I remember. The most I've played was GTA 3 and Vice City. Those two games was what got me interested in video games.

Parents had an NES. As far as I remember, that was my first experience with a videogame. Played Super Mario Bros and Legend of Zelda probably when I was 5 years old, but it really picked up when I got my PS1. Crash Bandicoot, Brave Fencer Musashi, Tekken 2, Ape Escape, Megaman X4. These were the games of my childhood, and they have formed a lifelong addiction from which I may never recover from.

Parents had a SNES when I was a baby. When I grew older after a few years I started using it. Few years more and my dad got himself a Playstation to play games like Medel of Honor (he loves his ww2 shit), likewise also picked it up.

I remember he used to kick me off of it so he could play it. He dropped off of gaming around the time dual joysticks became standard, never understood that you can move both sticks together at the same time, he played them like you would play an old resident evil game. Walk straight, stop, turn to face new direction, walk, stop, turn, peak from cover, take 2 minutes aiming, fire, miss, repeat until kill target.

Frontline?

I remember playing FPS on Ps2. I did not like them. They don't feel like shooters today.

Yes, I started with MW2. I'm spoiled.
