/vr/ - Retro Games

I just recently got into retro games. A lot of classics were released before I was able to play them. My first console was the playstation 2. I eventually tried Morrowind, which isn't that retro, but old enough, and initially clunky enough to cause me some discomfort. But once I got past that, it instantly became one of the best games I've ever played. This piqued my interest in other classics, often much older games. Turns out the games people have been saying were really good, were in fact, really good. I also feel like it helps me appreciate modern games better, just like reading the classics in literature helps you appreciate modern literature better.

In fact, I've started to think the reason that games journalism is so bad nowadays, is that we don't require them to be "well-read" in the same way we'd require literature reviewers to be, in order to be credible.
