Darmik 02/01/18 11:59:02 PM #18:	People do look back with rose tinted glasses. The games were often experimental and finding their footing back then. But people don't seem to remember there was a lot of crap that was just everywhere. The ratio of actual bad games were a lot worse back then. There's a reason mediocre publishers like Acclaim survived for so long while they won't today. We played so much crap and stuck with it because we didn't know any better. I'm not saying there aren't issues. AAA games are often pretty safe these days. There is too much reliance on patching and DLC. But the benefits outweigh the positives. There is so much great gaming content that is released every week. You just need to look past all of the big AAA games. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:895289114] in Why do peo...

Because there was a lot more creativity, the difficulty wasn't dumbed down for the lowest common denominator, games were generally complete upon release, and games weren't filled with DLC and microtransactions.

Nowadays you only really get shooters, sandbox, WRPGs and 2D Platformers. --- Awww, isn't that cute? He thinks he can beat me! <cite>Bat178 posted [p:895290797] in Why do peo...

DevsBro 02/02/18 1:02:39 AM #44:	When 3D happened, they lost a lot of personality. I guess it was because of early 3D graphics not really allowing for it but we never recovered either. I mean compare Yoshi's Island with Poochy and Yoshi's Wooly World. Sure, I like P&Y. It's a fun game. Good design. Nice customization. But what happened to Yoshi licking his lips when he eats a star/heart? What happened to the nifty storybook aesthetic? Does Yoshi even look up when he jumps? I literally just put the game down and I don't even know. --- http://backloggery.com/devsbro/sig.gif http://i.imgur.com/kU5vu5N.png Never pepper popcorn <cite>DevsBro posted [p:895291657] in Why do peo...
