>Why do you like retro games, /vr/?

Because they are games first and foremost. Not this super duper ultra max graphic wanking, not this cinematic experience Oscar award-winning bullshit, not this expansive storytelling that wants to pretend it's the biggest shit since The Odyssey, not this orchestral music with latin chorus and ambient music that's so generic you forget about it as soon as you leave the area; just pure, unadultered gameplay with some of them having simple and/or nice stories that serve to drive the plot and keep you hooked to your controller, along nice and catchy tunes made to fit the level you're playing or the boss you're fighting against.

The industry has been polluted with so many movie director wannabes, money hungry suits and pretentious holier-than-thou developers, both in the AAA and the indie scene, that it feels way too special when an actual videogame is released nowadays. Simply said, developers forgot that games should be, first and foremost, fun. Worst of all, this is a very recent change, even the last decade was filled to the brim with so many gems, this last generation of consoles has been incredibly toxic for the industry overall.
