      Inde games and devs who realy care still do that like God of War 2018 was a full package, so are most Nintendo games with a few Bonus updates or expansion pack style DLC, Spider Man was a complet game with just a episodic expansion pack that should have been just one big thing but whatever but yeah the incomplete games are BS but most of them are big "AAA" games I never gave a shit about to begin with.

    I remember the first time my friend played Final Fantasy X. It was on my home system because it was the best one available at the time. There were three of us present and we were all blown away by the opening cutscene. After it was over we let the character stand there for nearly five minutes because we didn’t realize that the cutscene had ended. Titus still looked like Titus instead of a pixelated 16 bit version of himself.

    8) No microtransactions or DLCs

    • @FraserSouris
      @FraserSouris 5 ปีที่แล้ว +24

      Counterpoints
      (8) Except the equivlant of DLC was often repurposed into sequels so you'd often be paying full price for minor improvments. You'd also be encouraged into buying magazines to get info or demo disks or stratgedy guides
      (9) They were always untrustworthy mate. See Sega during this time alongside, DE, Vicarious, any company that did movie licenced games etc
      (10) Not true.
      Firstly, nowadays you have ways of seeing a game before buying it. Back then, reviews were hard to come across or limited to magazines.
      Again, see movie licended games and the like. Shovelware was actually at its most common during the PS2 era

    My favorite memory of things that takes me back to 00s was when I was 15 years old. Early in 2002 a friend of mine helped me get my hands on a PS2. I managed to afford getting a used console from a pawn shop and I also got a single controller, the A/V cable, power cord and two games. I couldn't wait to get home and play, and in my excitement I forgot a key item to have especially considering the only two games I now owned. I was the proud owner of Final Fantasy X and Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. The key item I was missing, a memory card. My 15 year old mind was smart enough to realize I wasn't going to be able to really enjoy FFX without the ability to save but was just dumb enough to think MGS2 would be easy enough to do without it. So I played the game on Normal mode and found myself happy and spiteful of my ignorance as it took me 36 hours straight of playing (mixed with food and washroom breaks) to beat MGS2. Every death making me angry I wanted to quit combined with the idea of starting over from the very beginning built my own personal hell while I sat there internally screaming obscenities in my head for my foolishness and jumping for joy at my successes when I made it further after every death. To this day the idea of playing games you need to save manually to progress (Nier: Automata for example) take me back to that moment I was 15 and being ignorant enough to think "I don't care I can't save, I need to play this As soon as possible!"

I got all of his games with it as well, so I do have nostalgia for a lot of 90's stuff, even if I only experienced the tail end of it. But most of my time was spent with the ps2. Got it early in its lifecycle, and played with it until like a couple of years into the ps3, 360 generation.

    Full backwards compatibility (if you had a PS2), no remasters, no patches, no live services, no dlc, no lootboxes, no installation times (the console would load the game from the dvd), music CD and movie DVD players, cheat codes rather than p2w, studios would release high budget - polished games quicker, more resistant controllers, a lot co-op games and you can still play 99% of the library today because they all released physically and/or are archived by the internet.
    The negatives: Many games lacked auto save, region lock and extremely blurry/pixelated resolutions.
    However, let's speak about the negatives of the mid 10s for a comparison's sake.
    Zero backwards compatibility, filled with remasters you have to pay for again, large patches/live services/dlcs/lootboxes by greedy publishers who release broken or unfinished games for full price, no cheat codes, taking forever to release new titles, hardly any co-op, a couple of the games released this generation are already gone forever due to them being always online, yearly sequels (remasters on steroids) of already established franchises rather than betting on new ideas, paid online, ruined story/offline mode of some games by trying to shove American politics and heavy censorship.
    But don't worry guys, the 2020s will be worse thanks to streaming. You won't even own the broken game releases anymore!
    And then some people say gamers are toxic, the fact that we downgraded in everything except graphics is really telling of the current generation.

    My EyeToy window washing technique was just windmilling a tea towel, it was unbeatable! My brothers hated me. 😂

    I never played Guitar Hero, never wanted to. However my first bit of serious gaming was on PS2, and it was Drakan The Ancients Gates, and that game made me a gamer.
    Also my first HD gaming was on PS4 and the game was WWE 2K16.

      Drakan was SO FREAKING GOOD.
      I desperately want a remake.

      @@reyennarhel2505 I know me to, Order of The Flame, which would be entirely new to me, and The Ancient's Gates. That was the first video game I played that heard music scored on real instruments. Also the first one that had a dragon who wasn't all evil. Arokh was a boss and Rynn was just badass.

    I do and don't miss the old guides, it is sooo easy now, yet there was a craftmanship about the old ones that should have been appreciated more.

    being born in '85, I'm right there with you, sir. between trying to get my Dreamcast to go online, without an ISP mind you, and the first time I was able to utilize the "HD" in that of the HDMI ports of my XBox360 and my HD TV. I knew there was a reason why I loved this channel! :-D
