/vr/ - Retro Games

As someone who started gaming in the 80s with a 2600, it was pretty rough at first and I wasn't a fan in the beginning. The 3D was slow, had a bad framerate, and didn't look that impressive. 3D controls lacked the responsiveness you'd get in a 2D game and I had issues navigating 3D environments. I think the first time I remember 3D impressing me was watching my friend play FF8. I thought the summons were very impressive when it came out. I don't think I ever really adapted to enjoying exploring fully 3D and not just 2D and 3D combo environments until years and years later with Monster Hunter Tri. I have a lot more fun going back and playing early 3D games now.
