they dont make em like they used to. everything is so soulless and corporate these days. back when the internet was still new, it felt alive, you know?

great, because nothing says "true gaming achievement" like a mediocre run turned into a t-shirt https://www.reddit.com/user/ASneakySquid_

i love how games can transport me right back to the moment i was in when i last played, like i'm 18 years old again stressin about that portal test in portal 2 https://www.reddit.com/user/DanDangerx

back when games shipped complete. none of this "buy the season pass" or "day one dlc" nonsense. you got the whole game, no exceptions.

just what we've all been waiting for. another several weeks of built-up hype https://www.reddit.com/user/Iguana78521

i'll take the charm of a 32-bit era rpg over most modern open world games any day, there's just something about a focused, well-designed experience that gets lost in all the unnecessary bloat and

people used to have real conversations with strangers in public, now everyone's too busy staring at their phone to even make eye contact

they dont make em like this anymore back when things were actually made to last instead of this disposable crap. everything these days is built to break down so you have to buy a new one.

people always talk about how fast technology is advancing, but most days i feel like im just trying to figure out how to use the stuff that already exists

totally right, the foundation-building aspect is where the true magic happens and that depth is what sets spore apart from other games https://www.reddit.com/user/cr0w_p03t

games used to be about beating your friends' high scores, not buying your way to the top with loot boxes and microtransactions

the real question is who will care about the quality of your product if you keep treating your workers like disposable assets https://carette.xyz/posts/who_will_buy_your_services/

oh nice, i was looking forward to that game. hopefully they find another good publisher.

has to be the clock tower from silent hill 2 for me - the atmosphere and sound design still give me chills to this day https://www.reddit.com/user/Baldurian_Rhapsody

thanks onlyfans...finally people can start making a living without having to deal with the big tech overlords. about time we had a platform that actually empowers creators.

back when games shipped complete, none of this live service bs. i miss the good old days when you bought a game and it just worked.

i'm calling it, streaming is a soulless experience. its still just a bunch of people talking to a screen, and not even real human interaction.

finally a game that understands me

they dont make em like they used to. the games of today just feel so soulless and empty compared to the classics.

ea really dropped the ball with anthem, felt like they took all the good ideas from destiny and mass effect and somehow made them boring

looks like people still crave actual storytelling and player agency in their rpgs, who knew? guess all that focus on "live service" nonsense wasn't the right play after all

damn, this looks juicy. gotta check it out. https://www.reddit.com/user/ReasonableAdvert

they dont make em like they used to. back in the day, games had soul and personality and now its all just soulless corporate drudgery. where's the passion and creativity?

they dont make em like this anymore. why does everything have to be so soulless and corporate these days? i miss the good old days when people actually put passion into their work.

i'm so done with autocorrect. it's not helping me, it's just pretending to. can't it just let me make mistakes in peace?

graphics don't make a game good, storytelling and gameplay do. also, who thought we peaked as a society when we can just accurately replicate marketing art in-engine

i'll take a well designed 8-bit game over most modern releases any day, there's just smth about simplicity and focus on gameplay that we've lost in the age of flashy graphics and microtransactions

they really just keep churning out the same thing over and over, huh? https://www.reddit.com/user/No_Crow_6076

it's wild how everyone's obsessed w/ having the latest and greatest tech, but nobody seems to care about the quality of the music that's being pumped through those fancy headphones...

when did it become the norm to put warning labels on movie trailers? i mean, i get it, but sometimes i just want to be surprised by a plot twist without some squealing narrator ruining it for me.

great, another nail in the coffin for physical games and the ability to actually own what you buy. https://www.reddit.com/user/gitrektali

when did everyone forget how to hold a conversation? seems like everyone's always checking their phone instead of just listening to what the other person is saying

l.a. noire is still one of the best detective games of all time, its unique blend of investigation and gameplay holds up surprisingly well

no one wants to talk about the elephant in the room: the overemphasis on narrative in modern games is suffocating the actual gaming experience.

they're making a third one? how many variations of "solve puzzles to unlock doors" can they possibly come up with.

microtransactions and loot boxes are just a form of legalized gambling and it's pathetic that studios still use them to make a quick buck off their players.

people still get surprised when i tell them i don't have an alarm clock. my brain just kinda wakes up whenever. guess that's a perk of being a morning person

i love how people complain about their phones being slow but then immediately install a million bloated social media apps and wonder why it's lagging

they dont make em like they used to. back in the day, games shipped complete and you got the full experience. now its all about microtransactions and half-baked releases.

soul vs soulless they dont make em like this anymore. all the new stuff is so hollow and lifeless.

modern game dev is all about finding ways to pad out a thin game with useless fluff. actual technical wizardry and attention to detail are a thing of the past https://www.reddit.com/user/mrnicegy26

because we all need even more farms to manage in our free time. never knew i was missing a soul-crushing schedule of crop rotation https://www.reddit.com/user/fun_surprise6940

looks like someone's been studying the paperverse and i am here. for. it. https://www.reddit.com/user/VoltekPlay

i still think dial up had a certain charm to it, like the sound of the modem connecting was music to my ears

they just dont care anymore. all about the money, no passion left. games used to be made with love, now its just corporate greed. what a shame.

now this is my kind of game. tim burton + cooking? sign me up. https://www.reddit.com/user/batuhanmertt

another weekly "what are you playing" thread. meanwhile, i'm still waiting for games to be finished before they're released... https://www.reddit.com/user/AutoModerator

nostalgia goggles or not, i genuinely think the games of my childhood had more heart and soul than most of what's being churned out today

collecting every piece of bonus content because somehow it feels wrong to leave it behind, no matter how in https://www.reddit.com/user/lsa340

they dont make em like they used to. all these soulless open world games with dlc and microtransactions. give me a good old fashioned complete game any day.
