Wtf?

Nice rage bait lol

lmao this takes me back to the olden days of bait when you could just call something shit and people would argue.

This contextless superficial review of classics denies the groundbreaking gameplay, art styles, storytelling, and direction that these games contributed to the artistic medium that is video games.

Like saying that The Godfather sucks becuase it is derivative and stuck in the time that it was created.

Alright I'm done yelling at clouds.

What "slop"? Stop using "slop" for everything now. Fucking kid.

Sorry but "slop" has been reserved for AI-relater insults only and I will not accept any dilution of that.

It's fine. 40 is the new 30, 30 is the new 20, and this kind of youthful confusion about time and aging is exactly what I'd expect from a 10 year old, so it tracks.

I love my gramp games :(

2004 was 10 years ago right? Please?

It's only slop if it's bad. Otherwise it's core. In this case, Grampcore.

YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS

goodslop

Are they just mad that the best year in gaming was 1998. Games back then can still be played today they don't need a always online servers that will get shutdown. Every multiplayer game came with a free dedicated server and you could vote kick the cheaters or just people being assholes. Mods were everywhere and encouraged by the devs not lawsuits. Most games didn't come with with a rootkit pretending to be DRM.

I recently had a hankering to play Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. Because the game is so old and buggy, and because I'm running Linux, it took a lot of patching and tweaks to get running. Probably took around 4 hours, because you can't tell which random fix someone posted a decade ago will work until you try it. It was a very authentic experience of gaming in the early 2000s, and the struggle made playing the game all the more fun.

Damn good times.

This is so fucking stupid. If you substitute movies or books for the images it would just seem stupid.

It's weird video games get this strange space of "old".

As soon as people started calling staples of the FPS genre "boomer shooters," I knew it was over.

D2 listed as slop? SLOP!?!?!? Who created this horrible meme and where do they live? My baseball bat wants to have a few words with them.

I just played Fallout 1 and 2 for the first time. Though they've certainly aged poorly in a lot of ways, both were still fun plays, and worth the experience just to see where the franchise came from, ya know?

Where do I even put the money to unlock everything?

Go for the eyes Boo, go for the eyes!

all these games came out past my prime video game years, i am great gramp gamer i guess

If these games were cars you could register them as classics in California. If you played any of them on release, you should probably stand up and stretch after you read this comment

...don't call it slop, you damn brat!

Ow, my back and my feelings

-Slop?

The distance between a new term’s invention, its ironic use, to it then being abused is getting shorter and shorter.

Thanks for the game recommendations. Can't wait to try them out!

You: smugly laughing at video games from the 90s

Me: Slipping into a dementia addled bliss as I play the classics absent any DLC, Microtransactions, or fear that the studio will collapse before it finishes the series

You fucking wish, these games have everything except graphics due to the time they were created and games made today have just graphics and nothing else that made 20-30 years old games amazing for a fraction of the size and a fraction of the cost.

We could use a proper remake of the original Deus Ex. One of the all time greats in the FPS RPG genre.

Thief would be good too, but currently KCD2 is mostly satisfying that itch despite stealth not being it's main focus.

I recently played Half Life for the first time. It was fun! There is really no issue with old games, unless they had issues from the start, of course.

And now I finally get the "Blah blah blah Mr. Freeman" joke.
