Laticauda, do gaming w Then vs Now

I love when gamers hyperfixation only on the bad examples while ignoring the existence of game companies that still do good work. Why elevate the ones doing things right when we can give all our attention to the ones doing things wrong?

Duamerthrax,

I mean this is comparing modern AAA game devs with what would have been considered AAA at the time. I think it’s a fair comparison in that regard, but by manpower, 90’s ID might be more similar to today’s New Blood.

One time back in Halo 3 in a FFA game I killed everyone else on the map twice before I died, and that death was from a grenade I threw to finish someone off when I ran out of ammo and had to melee him. I have never felt that powerful before or since.

It was quake3 but I get the feeling.

Jackcooper, do gaming w I've been bamboozled!

Me, a guy who works a lot and has a family playing for first time in a month:

Console must update before you can go online

Game must update

Console must restart

Ok guys you know what nevermind I’m going to bed

I gave my nephew: My NES, N64, PS2, Gamecube, and Gameboy Advance, with all the games I had. He played the hell out of them! In many cases, he unlocked things I never had, and he’d always talk about them and his progress.

I’ll be honest – I miss those things a lot – but it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, seeing someone get to experience all those games for the first time, just like I had.

My kid is going to end up with one of my hundred retro handhelds. “What games do you have Dad?” “Yes.”

Hundreds?! Like those old tiger electronics handhelds?

BruceTwarzen,

I loved and hated these shitty ass things

@Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world avatar

Hundreds is an exaggeration, I’ll admit lol. But I’ve probably got around 20 or so from retroid, anbernic, and miyoo, and each one has an SD card with pretty much every retro game on it up through PS1 :)

Myron basically admits he’s full of shit in 2. Jet (perhaps not under that name) is a pre-war drug. It’s a complete nonissue.

pokemaster787,

I think there is merit to the “Myron is full of shit” theory for sure, but isn’t one of the primary ingredients in Jet Brahmin feces?

Can’t exactly imagine that existed pre-war

Kalothar,

Manure? Why does it have to be a two headed mutated cow instead of a regular cow

ahornsirup,
@ahornsirup@sopuli.xyz avatar

Also, just because the active ingredient semi-naturally occurs in brahmin dung (only if they’re fed a specific pre-war feed) doesn’t mean that that’s the only place where it can be found or that a cow/cow adjacent digestive tract is the only place where the requisite reactions can occur. Jet is basically inhaled meth, there’s no reason to assume that it can’t be mass manufactured.

Kalothar,

Is the reason the drugs names are fake because of censorship? Like they didn’t want a higher rating or something

stevedidWHAT, do gaming w Man, gaming ads in the 90s were something else.
@stevedidWHAT@lemmy.world avatar

If they even had a fraction of the knowledge about today’s games they’d shit themselves lmao.

Just wait until these fancy AI content generators are integrated by AAA companies and aren’t just mods.

🤩 stay positive y’all, happy new year!

The other day someone posted an NES cover and it straight up said “ultra realistic computer generated graphics” on it. 🤣

tiredofsametab,

At the time, the comparison was probably against Atari 2600 and other early systems

pelerinli,

Open world RPG’s like Bannerlord or Skyrim will be “real” alternative reality. Just think, today you can chit-chat in Bannerlord with general NPC. Tomorrow you can get radiant quest from giver by talking to Jarls. In future you can find secret quests and spell-check your way around in Fallout.

Dimok, do gaming w Man, gaming ads in the 90s were something else.

Yeah, I’m not sure who kicked it off but the Nintendo, Sega wars in the 80s kind of started with the quirky ‘edgy’ crap and that carried over into the PS/Xbox era. The Nintendo power mags had some seriously nonsense ads and the tv commercials kind of ran the gambit. A lot of ‘we’re gamers, parents just wouldn’t understand’ type ads. Here’s one that even teen me was like ‘wtf?’ www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-qBkWerZDg

WTF that horrible way to advertise that game.

soloner,

I’m not sure if the mental/high person is meant to represent Link or the player… Which one is worse?

Dimok,

The only thing I can think, is it was marketed to those ‘cool’ parents. “Like, wow man! My kid needs this edgy game!” Even that’s a stretch…

newtraditionalists,

I'm so glad this is the one you linked. Such an icon of a commercial lol

I haven’t played any of theae games, but I can appreciate a simple and legible logo.

The new game names are dumb, but so we’re most of the old ones anyways.

Chobbes, do gaming w I can't live like this

Okay this has been bothering me lately… Wasn’t inverted y usually the default setting in games until somewhat recently? Now it seems to never be the default. What changed and when? Or is this just in my head?

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website avatar

If I had to ballpark it, I remember there being a bunch of inverted controls around the late 90s, so maybe around 2000?

Chobbes,

I still think inverted was the default in the 2000s. Maybe around 2008 with the PS3 and 360 era it started to change? This is also when video games really seemed to take off for the average person too, so maybe that has something to do with it?

@AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world avatar

I never played on consoles, but I’m pretty sure that also happened on PC. Maybe around 2005 or 10.

I refuse. If I lose interest in a game, I ain’t touching it until I’m ready. It’s one of the big reasons I quit FNV months ago in the middle of what will be my first ever completion of the game.
