/vr/ - Retro Games

When I was young, I wanted the latest greatest thing because my friends had it. As I've gotten older my tastes have changed. Good games are good games. I appreciate and play games from all eras. One thing that has disappointed me with many newer games is the obsession with hyper realism. Don't get me wrong though. I appreciate amazing graphics but not every game needs them. Some modern games would be better if they were... idk, a bit more "cartoony." I like to detach from reality a bit when I game. I feel many games would be better if they focused a little more on the mechanics and less on the graphics. They only seem to care about "looking better" than the competition. This has been the case even going back to many retro releases tbh. Take Sewer Shark for example. Neat graphics for the time but the actual gameplay was absolute boring dogshit.
