There were expansion packs, but that just added to the game, mostly.

There were patches for pc and older systems that used floppy discs, also updated rom patches and stiff for carts.

Youre wrong

>>4897541
Ok, expanion packs did exist but I still think they offered more value compared to those of today. Wasn't one of the packs in the newer Tomb Raider games only 30 minutes long?

Also to your second point, it was mostly geared towards console gaming, but technically you are correct.

Haven't played a pokemon game since gen 2, but is this really still the case?
Are there no different player profiles on the 3DS which might give as many saves as there are profiles?
If not and there's only one save, that actually is pretty low if I think about it.

I love retro gaming because there are a ton of really fun games. It's the same reason I love modern gaming.

I think both games getting patches (so many retro ones could have used it) and DLC are pretty great.

Loot boxes and paying for saves is idiotic but I've always avoided those.

Yeah, you just had to pay full price for the game if the devs decided to add content or patch some broken shit. But at least it wasn't DLC, right?

First game to allow multiple saves was Colosseum on the GC, and that's only because they couldn't tie a disc to a memory card so buying additional memory cards allowed additional saves. Same for the sequel which shall remain nameless. First actual mainline game to do it is going to be Let's Go, and then only because they can't lock a single cart to a single system account.

Pokemon is max happy merchant, always has been. It might've been a necessity in Generation 1/2 and even 3 when they were limited by save file sizes, but since the DS they've had no fucking excuse.

Suikoden 2 and Xenogears aren't.

Maybe not day 1 but games were updated, bugs fixed and then the carts repressed and re-released and older copies scrapped.

He means you have to pay REAL money for save slots. Which is actually a thing, I know Metal Gear Survive does it, you have to pay for a save slot after your first.

Really just 2 of those statements are correct

No day one patches, but there were patches, so kind of a null point.

Loot boxes dont cost money, duh there were no "loot boxes" as we know them today. Not /vr/, get the fuck off my lawn. Dont post again until your balls drop kiddo.
