I love how people simplify love as something as plastic as nostalgia as if its only nostalgia that makes a good game or bias preferences to change like the market shows see what was your first experiences to set concepts like star wars if it wasnt star wars star wars becomes less critical and now you have a bias base to say star trek or star gate and low interest in star wars or like fantasy was it runescape or final fantasy 11 then you would find one piece and fairy tail the animes tobe fun because you like those sorts of crazy magical tales like harry potter was it lord of the rings id say you have more a want for love craft and stories that hit closer to reality see people need to quit using the word nostalgia when their to ignorant to even grasp what nostalgia is nostalgia isnt as simple as a bias feeling its deeper its actually the affects what set mediums had on your over arching values in media that show in your bias consumption every person shows there are people who watch horror and cant stop watching thousands of them others love drama while some love anime and i havent watched movies or tv in 20 years now as im purely a gamer

When I was little, like 6 years old, my dad was in the military. He was always gone, deployed for long spans of time missing birthdays and holidays, BUT in 2010 when minecraft beta was released, he was home and it was his favorite game to play. I would watch over his shoulder while he played for hours, doing essentially nothing cuz there was nothing to do in minectaft beta. Eventually, I got old enough to have my own account and he gave me milestones to beat before I could do certain things, like in order to play on creative mode I would have to make it to the nether in survival mode first, etc. I always loved playing minecraft with him or watching him in general. Six years ago he got shot and paralyzed from the waist down. Our favorite past time in the hospital while he was healing was playing on minecraft Lan servers. Now we have a family and friends server with a whole bunch of plug-ins that's been running for a good two years. Minecraft has had such a crazy important impact on my life and everytime i play it it is like I'm 6 years old again. This video put all of those feelings and nostalgia into words so eloquently. Love ur videos . Keep up the good work!!

My cousin would sometimes notice i was watching and let me sit next to him and play, I was never any good as I didn't know what was going on but it made me feel cool. I miss that, thank you Bebo for highlighting the experience I couldn't put to words

I remember the day my dad passed away. I was absolutely devastated, and thrust into the position of being the guy who put his funeral and everything together (since he had it on his will). I remember those weekend nights where he and I would either stay up late and watch either Westerns, Whose Line, or just play a game on the Wii. His and my favorites were Donkey Kong Country Returns, Spectrobes: Origins, and Mario Strikers. But the day he passed, I held it in all the way until near the end, when I remembered when I was finished playing one of my favorite games of all time, Mary Skelter 2. I was like "Oh yeah, I was at the final boss of that game. I need something to sit down and forget about everything that happened today." So I did. And as the ending of that game played out, with all those characters that I loved going out, I looked at the small little bookshelf of games that my dad had bought me with every single one of my PS2, PS3, and Wii games. I remembered all of the times he and I would just boot it up when nothing good was on TV. And the thought finally hit me: I would never be able to do that ever again with him. And I balled my eyes out for an hour straight. All the pent-up stress and tears from that day finally came out and just wouldn't stop, even when my mom came up to the little office I turned into my gaming area. We just cried for what felt like for an eternity. I still miss my dad, and this month he would've turned 63 had he still been alive.

That concept of "Restriction breeds Creativity" is, quite honestly, spot on. Think it's what made the original Resident Evil games and Silent Hill game's so damn scary, the tight level layouts and imposing fog purely due to realtime render limitations. I really miss games like Hitman: Contracts, Predator: Concrete Jungle, Splinter Cell, Halo, Fuzion Frenzy and Jet Set Radio Future. Each one was just purely what is was for the sake of fun.

My family was almost never up-to-date with our gaming stuff. When I was still really young, we got an original Playstation, and my big sister was really into Tomb Raider. Specifically Tomb Raider 2. It became our project. So over the course of years, even as we got older and had better things to do, if we were both at our childhood home, we'd occasionally whip out Tomb Raider 2 and try to make some progress. Of course, we got stuck a lot, so we had this old printed guide from the early days of the internet. No visuals, no video, just a guy typing out how to progress. Needless to say, deciphering the guide was possibly just as hard as trying to figure it out ourselves. Roughly ten years after we first started the game, I convinced her to give it one last push. We HAD to be close to the end. So we go for it, consulting the guide again until I have a sudden realization. It's been 10 years. Surely there's, like, a KZfaq guide or something. Because the written one was just not cutting it anymore. We get through the last level rather quickly and finally arrive at the final boss. My sister is getting increasingly frustrated at being unable to beat it. Now when we first started this game, I was actually super anxious about video games. Too much pressure, things could jump out at me, was not into it. But ten years later? So I end up being the one who beats the final boss, and boy was that cathartic. Only that wasn't the last level, not completely. There was an epilogue. After Lara Croft goes home from her adventure, the rival group decides to try to assassinate her in her own home. So she has to defend herself. Now, when my sister would get frustrated with the main game, she would often go to the training mode, which takes place at Croft Manor. So, my sister knew Croft Manor like the back of her hand at this point. Those bastards did not know how badly they had messed up. I handed the controller back to her, and watched her rain down hell upon the invaders. My family was pretty dysfunctional, but, like, I'm glad I have those memories with my sister. I'm glad we got to bond over so many years with that one goal. It felt really good to finish that game. And it's because we finished it together, just like how we started it.

that's what I loved about the older games too. Me and my brother hated each other but we'd do coop games and have a moment of bonding and working together and would be the only time we laughed together. The old stuff really brought people together, the new games isolate us. I remember when xbox360 blew up, suddenly instead of people saying "bro, wanna come to my house after school? We could play * insert game here * " it became "i'm going to go home, I jsut got a new game I wanna play". And Id be like "can we play together?" they'd say "sure, get a headset and a mic and we can play together online". That is not a made up story, either. That was word for word the experiences I had once online gaming took over. And if you couldn't afford online gaming stuff, like me, your friends eventually phased you out. Soon, no one rode bikes outside anymore, no one hung out, everyone wanted to go home and play call of duty isolated in their rooms. And here we are.

i remember when i was younger, me and my older brother used to play games together all the time. we didn't have money to buy games, or wifi to download them, so we would just play the any random demos we could find or begged our mom for. i have memories of walking into our garage to see he had moved our little tv and xbox 360 to the further corner in the garage to our neighbors house who had internet, trying to get a single bar of connection so he could download a free game he found on the marketplace. he'd always surprise me and my sister with a new retro-like 8-bit co-op game to play every month, even if it was awful. first with our xbox, then with his laptop, then with his ps2, and now with his xbox one. aegis wing, dungeon defenders, castle crashers, risk of rain 1, sly cooper and the thievius racoonus, ratchet and clank, tower 57, the last of us 1, zombie estate 2, and stikbold are just a few of the countless games he showed me. a lot of them i just watched him play because i was too inadept to be any good at them. (the last of us, sly cooper, etc..) family drama kept us from seeing each other for over 3 years. things got better, but then he moved to miami so i don't get to see him often anymore. he spends all his time working (literally from 8am to 11pm almost every day). but even then, on my last visit he literally gave me his gameboy and bought a ps2 just so we could play sly cooper again, even though I was leaving in a week. he is my favorite person in the entire world, my hero. thank you for helping me to remember all those wonderful memories again.

In Kingdom Hearts II, you start the game off as a character named Roxas. By the end of the game’s prologue, right before switching to Sora for the remainder of the game, Roxas, resigned to his fate, remarks that his summer vacation is over. This moment, like many moments throughout KH2, have stuck with me my whole life. There’s a bittersweet tenderness to both this scene and Kingdom Hearts as a whole that has never been quite replicated for me. Of course, part of that is nostalgia, but even replaying the series today, I see the earnestness of the characters and their stories that I can’t help but find it charming. It was a major reason as to why throughout much of my adolescent life, mostly middle and high school, I would replay KH2 every summer. I’m sure the biggest reason for why I did this was because KH2 was and still is a really fun game to play, but I look back at how fleeting my adolescence was with a similar bittersweet feeling that is presented in KH2’s prologue, and it makes me wonder if the reason I’d always play it in the summer specifically was to intensify the impact of certain scenes from the game, reminding me that I won’t always have a summer with these characters that mean so much to me. (P.S. I’m writing this comment because you shared a personal story with Kingdom Hearts music in the background, and it made me reflect on some of that PS2 era nostalgia that I also have.)

I really liked how you edited it so you were IN some of the levels, looked super fun and part of the reason I subscribed, I also want to chill in a Spyro level. On the video topic I agree, I started realizing I didn't want a protagonist I could sympathize with. That meant it was likely a character who was some sad human guy. What I've been missing is shooting lightning, flying, given freedom, not in an open world, but with level design that encouraged fun instead of a level where you shoot the guys and then slowly drag a crate over to your mouthy companion. Crate thing was prolly a bad example, Soul Reaver, Jersey Devil and whatnot. But yeah I mainly realized I don't want a balanced experience I want inFamous/Prototype superpowers again, it's video games, you can do impossible stuff and right now the industry is hooked on drama and cinema. That has a place here but again, it's more fun to run around harvesting brains in Destroy all Humans or admire the pretty colors in Crash/Jak 1, and I've been craving that for a few years now. Feasting on the few indie games I can find like a Malkavian feeding off rats in a sewer under Santa Monica. Again, great video, I subbed, cheers!

Also too, the fact that gaming companies took way more chances with little to no room to fuck up. Think about it, you made a game and released it, there were no updates, bug fixes, remaster etc. if the game was trash then it was trash and that was it. Thats why gaming companies back then put so much time and effort into making the most innovative/unique games of our time

@@Indigo_1001 bad games have always been a thing. The only difference is a bad game wouldn’t have the chance to potentially become an “ok” or “decent” game without updates and reworks back then. If the game was bad, the shit was just bad and collected dust at your local gamestops 5$ bin. Now they’re charging $70 for games they KNOW are bad with the promise to “fix” it later. The ability to not be able to update games weeded out all the shit games that came of that era. It made gaming companies have little to no room to fuck up a game. Whereas now they can sell you a shit game for high price and tell you “yeah, we’ll fix it later though, so just hold on to it” That’s the problem at hand here. Some of these games being released aren’t even playable on launch. My prime example will always be CyberPunk. I bought the game on launch. Shit was so buggy I couldn’t even play it, just for the game developers to finally make it playable about a year or 2 ago. By the time they fixed what they had to fix I couldn’t even play it just off of the fact that it left such a bad impression on me when I first bought it.

My father got a promotion and moved away for 3 years, starting when I was 8, and I was devastated. He had always been there for me, took me to all my sports games, taught me how to play video games. I didn't know what I was going to do without him. But I wasn't. Every night, after dinner, I would get on the computer and play Ever Quest with him. We didn't have voice chat at the time, but it helped me learn how to type. I got to tell him about my day, and he would tell me about his, and while it wasn't exactly as we were, it was so special and important to me that we got to do that. And I still hold those memories dear. When we lived together again, we moved to World of Warcraft on the weekends, with weekdays dedicated to Borderlands or Champions of Norrath or Army of Two or Hunted: The Demons Forge. If it wasn't 2 player couch co-op, we didn't buy it now that we were back together. And I'm so grateful for that time we had together. I'm in my 30's now with 2 kids living across the US from my folks, and my dad and I still play games every Sunday night (Baulder's Gate 3). Games have always been our connection point, and I'm so grateful for it.

It's been over 20 years since Sly 1 came out, and it's actually almost been 20 years since Sly 2 (November 2004). Bring back our favorite raccoon.

It capped off most of the current/important storylines and character arcs. I would love for a new take on the series but dont anticipate it happening anytime soon. Especially after they ditched the movie idea. Hell the movie could have even rebranded/revived the gang, could have brought the series more attention and or more funding for the future.. but good things must come to an end :/

Probably not quite what you're looking for exactly, but these are just some games that i think of when I want to be reminded of why I love the medium so dearly. I also don't know what you're into, so I'm trying to provide a wide and diverse spread of classics (in other words, there's a LOT of shit I can recommend). You never know what might resonate with you. Try the Ace Combat series, starting from 4, go to 5, then 0. If you can get your hands on 6, play that too. 7 is on Steam and I believe current gen consoles, it goes on sale quite often. Simple-ass fun gameplay with compelling stories to go with it. You might expect it to be milsim, but it's actually not at all. Trust me on this one, I didn't give a shit about fighter jets either. Still don't, but I love Ace Combat. Yakuza is another great series jam-packed with content. Start with Kiwami/1 then play Kiwami 2/2, use the series' wikipedia page to follow the release order. Personally, I think it's more important to play 0 after 5, and not before Kiwami/1. Probably needs no introduction by this point, but I'd recommend the series to any KH fan. You might actually feel right at home with it. Nier Replicant and Nier Automata are contemporary classics and are sure to reinvigorate your love for the medium. These games consistently took my breath away like I was having an asthma attack. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is an indie game that's literally just Jet Set Radio if it didn't have that early 3D-era clunkiness. Extremely refreshing and simple. Soundtrack goes crazy too. Ghost Trick Phantom Detective, if you like Ace Attorney, you'll like this game. It's an interactive puzzle game where you solve mysteries. Real slept-on stuff. Dragon's Crown is stuck on Playstation consoles (you can play it on PC if you're savvy, ahoy, also PS3 emulation is actually surprisingly complete). It's a wonderful evolution of the classic arcade Streets of Rage-style beat 'em up. The Mario and Luigi games are good. Superstar Saga is a classic. These games actually funmaxx the RPG formula by letting you fight back during enemy turns. If you're into Fire Emblem, Disgaea might be better. Tactical RPG with silly characters and quite a bit more grain to it than Fire Emblem. No More Heroes is a game that feels like it should be dogshit but it just isn't. It's quite possibly the most "video-gamey" video game I've ever played. Still, I've played my share of character action games and No More Heroes stands out to me as one that's just special. You into Pokemon? Have you played Pokemon Crystal? If not, check that one out. If you have, check out Pokemon Prism, a full-conversion ROMhack for Pokemon Crystal. It's one of those projects where you can really feel the love and passion that went into it. Real easy to set up too. Katamari Damacy could be a nice change of pace if you've never played it before. It's equal parts stressful and satisfying, but a classic arcade-y experience. Don't know if you're into fighting games at all, but literally any title from Arc System Works is a good choice. Any Guilty Gear game that's not the first one, Blazblue Centralfiction, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising (especially recommend this one if you're new to the genre). They even have a Persona 4 fighting game if you're into Persona. Xenoblade Chronicles is something else. I can't argue with the assessment that it plays like an MMORPG, just without any other players, there is literally no better way to describe its gameplay. It's a gem of a game though, if you own a Switch, check it out. Speaking of MMORPGs, probably something of an acquired taste as well as a commitment, World of Warcraft Classic. Vanilla, Season of Discovery, and Wrath of the Lich King are all good MMORPG experiences. You have to buy a subscription for WoW, but it's near and dear to me. The game was built and designed as a world before anything else and that's why I love it. Get some friends in on it if you can. There's one cool thing about being into video games today, in 2024. It's that we have a veritable wealth of shit to play. Again, go outside of your comfort zone and you'll find something special, you can't just wait for games like the ones you've already played because they sure as hell don't make em like they used to.

Great video and a lot of great points, the story about being a kid hit hard I grew up in a rough place with drugs, violence and all the stuff that comes with that playing video games was one of the few normal things I had as a kid playing with my siblings or at my nannas (she complained most of the time about the violence and how silly and nonsensical the games were but she was there anyway haha) I hadn't thought much about that before watching this that was a long time ago now, she passed away this year so it was a nice thing to remember.

The Golden Age of Gaming was the PS2 era. Now, we only see such soul in Indie development, but one guy in his basement can't make such large projects in a meaningful time, so we're trapped in a paradox where we either get soulful little games or soulless grand games. And thank you for doing your part in getting a Bloodborne PC port and/or remake (on PC).

This is my first video of yours. It came up on my feed and obviously, with a title like this, I clicked. I’ve been looking for someone that has NakeyJakey vibes because I love his editing and storytelling style, and man, do you hit the mark. I was blown away by the quality of your video and your use of green screen… I cannot imagine how much time and effort that takes to edit damn. You have a new subscriber and I’m really excited to see what you do.
