    CORRECTION: Downhill Domination was created by Incognito, not Insomiac (DOH!) and it's a mountain biking game, not BMX. Sorry about that!

      None of the things you just named are inherently bad (Except half completed games), there are houndreds of great DLC's and shitty games have become great thanks to patches and great games have become better the same way.

      More realism than graphics. If you wanted your world to feel believable you added mechanical attention to detail as you can only fit so many unique and high-res assets onto 9,4 Gigabytes.
      One reason solid gameplay mechanics were just the better use for development effort opposed to filler content.

      felt exactly the same when I talked to a chick about the last gamescom a few months ago and she called the PS2 retro, I was like "WTF ?! D: o.O" and she was just a few years younger btw, so like me also in the 20s

    • @RetroRepairs
      @RetroRepairs 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It'll be 20 years old soon. That qualifies as Retro. Hell, compared to the current gen systems, even the 360/ps3 seems quasi-retro-ish at times.

    • @LemmingKing
      @LemmingKing 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      20 years seems enough to be called retro, I give you that, but it certainly doesn't feel so long for me. I disagree with your last statement, I don't think the last gen oldered that bad, I even dare to say the PS4 wasn't much of an improvement in graphics, but well, I don't care about graphics anyway, so what do I know ;)

    The entries in the 'Xeno' meta series are some of my favorites. Xenosaga is even the reason I got a PS2. I went in halfsies with my mom on it and it's really the main reasons I dusted off my PS2 and games.
    Come to think of it, over time I've crossed paths with at least one version of each of the Xeno games.
    Got Xenosaga I as my buy-in game with my PS2. Traded a copy of Front Mission 3 for Xenogears and a PS1 compatible memory card for my PS2. I bought my Wii-U in order to played Xenoblade X. Xenoblade 2 basically distracted me from a serious bout of depression at just the right moment. I'd honestly forgot that I'd even pre-ordered it and then it was there on my front step when I needed something to occupy my mind. And I picked up the portable version of Xenoblade Chronicles after, get this, I won a New Nintendo 3DS XL out of a keymaster.
    Is there a word for suddenly realizing that something is much more significant to your life than you thought it was?
    I mean, "spouse", but I'm not married to a game franchise. :P
