There’s no shortage of both games and game recommendations out there, leading to pressure to like certain games. I go over some of the various ways we feel pressure to own games, add them to our collection, play them and enjoy them!

I remember feeling pressured to like Banjo Tooie because I really liked the first game and I knew everyone loved the sequel, I honestly did not enjoy it as much. I kept hoping the next level would be start to feel fun but eventually I just had to give up on it. I can't help but appreciate the effort and ambition that went into it, but I couldn't get into it for some reason.
Anyone that feels pressure to like anything needs to grow a pair and sac up and stop caring about what people think.
X-men 2 Clone Wars, I beat many times over but I'm pressured to beat it with all characters
Midlog?? Wow, this has to go viral, let's make it an official term… Great vid, I really wanted this topic to win the poll
I love the genesis but I don't enjoy Sonic games, I finally said it, I feel free now
I don't know if pressure is the right term for me. There are definitely super fans of this game or that and I generally try them out if possible. But sometimes it's just not my bag. Donkey Kong Country is a good example. I should like it. I just don't. I love the Wii and Wiiu games though. Earthbound is a series I just can't get into. But luckily I got them cheap on the VC and maybe someday…
Mario kart 64 is bad. Bad now but good then tho. The co trol on new mario kart 8 is so so good and perfect that I cant go back
Strider Nes is better than Strider Genesis
FACT. Check out my genesis review of strider on youtube uf u wanna know why I feel this way.
there's so many games that I wish I could turn back time just to play when I was a kid!
I dont like pokemon games. Because I played fi al dantasy games first and they are just straight up better in many ways red blue was like a huge downgrade but similar genre. But I could imagine if I had tried pokemon first then I am sure I would have caught them all by then.
I have the worlds niggest midlog. I literally have the FIRST call of duty on my hard drive fully installed since it was new through all my windows upgrades I never lost it and it still works and my save file is still about halfway through!
I was halfway through paper mario gamecube for 10 years. I goto play the other day and memory card corrupted! Nooooo no backup!
I'm being pressured to play Earthbound but I know the commitment that comes with it. It is intimidating. Also, never was a big fan of Sonic games. I know… I know…
Yeah, I feel the pressure everytime I dare to think New Super Mario Bros. U is my favourite game ever. We are people of culture, we all have to love Ocarina Of Time!… Right?… Right?!…
…
This reminded me that I don't like RPG's and I didn't care for Earthbound when I played it. Oh no! How am I ever going to pick up my reputation again?
1:02 I agree! Captain Novolin is the greatest game of all time…
…to laugh at.
Personally I don't like 2D Mario games at all. I tried the first three (both the NES and SNES versions), as well as the DS one, but I really can't get into them.
A game that I first didn't like, but forced myself to play and then ended up liking it a lot is Ace Attorney 3. I played the first one and liked it, but I found the third one very boring and I abandoned the game after the first trial. One day I decided to play it again and after a while I really got into it.
Same for Zelda, I played ocarina of time and didn't even finish the first dungeon in 2017, then in 2020 I played it again and enjoyed it so much.
Earthbound
I rather play Dragon Warrior(Quest) 1- 4 than Earthbound personally.
When I was a child I thought I didn't like strawberries, I changed my tune soon after.
I don't feel any pressure to like any game. My friends and I just have different tastes. And there are games that I'm reading a lot of praises for growing up, but when I played them, it just doesn't "click" with me. Examples are Earthbound and Chrono Cross. I played those recently and decided not finish. Those games are not bad in any way (that's why those are loved by many) it's just not immersing me. But I played Chrono Trigger a few months back. Finished it twice. First, just to play on my own. Next run is with a walkthru to check any secrets or easier way I missed. Great game.
As a kid I got the pc game Wing Commander. But I expected a more action based videogame. After 30 minutes I was done because I just didn't like it. But I couldn't put it down because they paid a lot of money for it snd I asked for it myself. Now I'm older I have a midlog as big as the world. Colleagues try to pressure but I don't give a crap anymore. If I'm done, I'm done. Thanks for the content retro bird!
Just like in your own situation, Chronotrigger is the game I'm pressured to play by myself. I did the same ting as you, played through half of the game and somehow lost the save for some reason I can't recall. Then we have Earthbound wich I feel both pressed to get, play and like! I'm sure I will do all three of those. A similar situation surrounds Terranigma…
Well there's my "confession".
Great video and great content in this channel!
Thanks!
🔥❤🔥
so cool to see you grow at this rate 😀 I love youre videos Ive been watching since their was less than 1k and I always love it as much ! keep up the great work !
a game for me I almost feel pressured to like is super metroid, Its hard for me to like it cause of the clunky controls for the damm wall jumps xD
I have a question, what is considered retro? In my opinion the PS2 is considered retro because it's turning 21 years old this year, it can drink alcohol. The NES was considered retro during the 7th generation. It was 21 in 2006 (American release) and people had no problem considering it retro. Some people say the PS2 isn't retro because retro is more of an aesthetic with the PS2 having a graphical aesthetic more similar to modern games. However, if we use that argument, the PS2 will never be retro whether it's 21 or 40 years old. It's weird we draw this line in the sand with retro games.
I did feel pressure to play Turn-Based RPGs, but now whenever I hear the term, I just shut my brain off. I played Final Fantasy VII for almost two hours and got bored. The only RPG that I like is probably Super Mario RPG, that one was good.
i am an N64 Collector, and i am feeling pressure to play Paper Mario, but i hate those round based battles, but i think i will play it one day 😅😅
though i love Pokemon Blue and Red as a kid, i cant play these kind of games anymore…
Plebian have you not had gray poupon?
My friend has been threatening me to play Rocket Knight Adventures or else consequences will be follow, so you can imagine how I felt when I saw 1:56 haha.
I pressure myself to like RPGs but so far it doesn't work for me 😅
I prefer platformers, racing games, fighting games and bullet hell shooters more.
Actually I feel more pressure by liking some of the bad games like sonic 06, shadow the hedgehog and the sonic storybook games.
You could do the flipside to this. Games you like that others don't. Not very retro but I like golden axe beast rider. Yes it doesn't play like the original but it is obviously part of the same series and ticks enough of my nostalgia boxes to get me reminiscent of the good ol' days while giving me a new challenge. And it's pretty short in comparison to some of the other 200 hour titles that came out around the same time.
Revenge of shinobi genesis
Seikiro, I have a love hate relationship with that game. It feels good to beat bosses, but the process is rage inducing.
So you want me to put mustard on bread? Okay I’ll give it a try.
Earthbound has been on my Midlog for years. It's time to move it to the complete trash list. HAH come at me fanboys xD
Good question: I guess for me it is the famous Japanese RPGs like Final Fantasy, Dragon Warrior, etc. I suspect this will be a common answer.
