I'd never thought I'd see such high effort nostalgia trolling.

I can almost see the crusty polygons and awkward walking animations
oh and the camera hates you
and you spend an hour trying to progress because apparently there is an invisible trigger spot for a cutscene

Isn't that a multiplayer game?

I have the sinking feeling that we have lost Minecraft and culture surrounding the things that were like it to the new normies the nermies if you will. For example the core of Minecraft c418 has been gone for some years now and the majority if not all of nermies can't really tell a difference. The new music isn't even necessarily bad it's just not it and you know what fuck you yes Minecraft does have a specific feeling to it so by playing music that sounds like it's directly out of terraria. Anyway it wasn't the bad graphics or the lagg that gave you the absolute Nirvana. It was the boldness of mostly jeb and a little from notch and not being afraid to add something so small like a fucking firefly. And that's pretty much it I don't feel like doing anymore I just had to purge all of this after hearing all the nermies on cucktube and queddit.

Whats?

>>62129
what will you do now?

"Well, I'll wait for someone to share their friend code for Nintendo Switch and play. Let's see if someone shows up."

>>62131

Unrelated but I hated that Ape Escape stage in your picture where you're inside the dinosaur, the environment disgusted me and made me feel physically sick.

I really wanted Blasto to be good but literally every magazine said it was trash. I should just play it and see for myself.

Another game I should play is Pitfall 3D: Beyond the Jungle. I remember enjoying the demo that came with Playstation magazine but never got the full game.

Learning new card games and variations of games is a casual way to get you noggin jogging.

I got this solitaire game that has like 100 variations of solitaire. Some pretty standard while others work totally different from anything I played before so takes quite a bit of effort to understand. Then even more to get good at. Plus it has a timer and point system to keep track of progress and push myself.


Or another example is poker. The basic rules are relatively simple but to actually get good at the game takes massive brain power since you are ether constantly running odds or memorized full on books worth of knowledge that you have trained to access in seconds.
A good middle ground is getting good at video poker.

Obvious I am not recommending you play card games for money though. It's quite fun to play for free both solo and online against other people.

You have a false dichotomy in this thread. Reaction time (what you call reflexes) always corresponds to general intelligence. In fact, reflex timing is the one way to have a cross-cultural iq level that doesn't depend on education. In other words, working on your reflexes will help your cognitive ability. Furthermore, the older you get, the more pronounced the effect is. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5608941/#:~:text=Highlights&text=Both%20simple%20and%20choice%20reaction%20time%20are%20strongly%20correlated%20with%20IQ.&text=The%20correlation%20increases%20with%20age.&text=The%20underlying%20relationships%20are%20different,is%20complex%20and%20non%2Dlinear, I'd say the great Metroid-Vania style games would keep you sharp without being board to death. Especially the main two, Super Metroid and Castlevania SOTN. WarioLand 3 is one of my favorites. That one has some great puzzle solving in it Metroid requires you to recall areas that you couldn't visit before because you lacked the power-ups. Getting one always triggers the memory of that area then you go back.
Personally I believe the best thing to stay sharp is to master different games. It could be anything, a platformer, shmup, puzzle, strategy game or whatever. Old games are very much about repetition and are short; try to overcome them without using features like save states or rewind, without worrying about finishing, just play them. Once you get really good at something, move on to a different game, And yet I specifically suggest a forgotten game called Locomotion (Kingsoft) A good mental workout, I don't think the premise is that accurate. On the surface it might seem a puzzle game is more about problem solving and cognitive skill, but there's no reason to elevate it above others.

Most games that you think are about reflexes are a combination of short-term decision making (problem solving), long-term decision making (strategy) routing (memory), and fine motor skills. I'd even argue the average arcadePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Interesting

>>62102
>master many games

Although I agree, my idea is to find a good game that give the best cognitive training with the least amount of money spent on multiply games.

>>62105
brain training on nintendo DS

>>62076
To be fair every single character in that game was a piece of shit, Swansea very much included.

>>62042 (OP)
normal life made me realize I was happiest being a NEET and staying in my room all day, yes

the fuck is this game about

Long haul space truckers crash, get stranded, and slowly turn on themselves and each other as they can't escape the issues they had been avoiding.

>>62086
sound intrrsting thank you

>non-competitive online games

What's even the point? If you want to talk, then just talk to people. There's VRChat if you really need to jump around a 3d world while you do it.

Roblox, Garry's Mod. GTAV online

You can play Paradox Interactive games like Europa Universalis IV in multiplayer with an agreement that you and the other player don't attack each other. You instead stay allied and help each other out in wars. I can play with you like that if you want to.

I second this, helldivers is pretty good.

People can't even kick you out, which is briliant. If someone decided to kick you end mission - you would just end up solo (they get out and you continue).
Rarely encountered any griefing. Amazing game, 100 hours flew by.

The entirety of Helldiver's and II's Gameplay/Reward loops can be experienced in 15 miniutes. It's Destiny 2 with crappy flat maps

that game was disappointing after reading so many praise it as the best thing ever when it came out. too long, too repetitive and too easy.
and the sidekick sucked too, and i can't remember or pinpoint why exactly but i found the game world particularly lifeless and dull

still the best wolf game of 2006 but that's not saying much

>>62065
what made me like the game was the weapons. I found it cool and I hope there will be more in the sequel

what an odd announcement, is this official?
"okami sequel" huh ok

>>62067
yes it is even if they add the 'sequel', '2' would have been much more weird

>>62065
it was a signifcatnly above average action adventure game for it's time with a art style that still looks good to this day, and a story that didn't suck.

It's also more of a game then all the cat games that got attention recently, like Stray.

I played geometry dash for like a hour then played something else and never returned to it.
I have no clue what you are talking about, but it sounds like a bad time.

I don't think creating on GD was a bad time like you say, I mean i've always disliked elaborate gameplay but I like creating

>>61876
ohh…I'm dumb

Next game I'm getting is Mario & Luigi Brothership.

>>61878
Is there anything particularly interesting about it or is it just repeating the Super Star Saga formula but with minor gimmicks and better graphics?

>>61879
That's a good question.
Most of the reason I'm excited for it is that it looks like it's back to basics of the OG Game Boy Advance game without the gimmicks of the sequels.
But there might be some annoying rugpull where they make you play as princess peach or something.

Virtua Fighter had two huge announcements.
First is that they are actively developing VF6
Second that they are bringing a fully updated and online capable VF5 to steam.

It has been 18 years of waiting. It is my favorite fighting game series ever so I am super hype. I just hope they don't ruin it with shit monetization similar to what killed DOA.
