I just finished my Windows XP build, and have been enjoying FO3 again the way it was meant to be played.

We didn't realize we were in a golden age, did we? /old-man-noises

I knew we were in a golden age when The Orange Box came out. A red letter day in gaming.

The golden age of gaming was the late SNES/early playstation era.

Graphics were beautiful, games were long and generally had incredible, immersive, and even heart wrenching stories.

Unlike today, where the focus on hyperrealism, generally at the expense of story and definitely performance. but hey, its only 6 hours long and you get to pay 80 dollars for it, so thats great, right?

The golden era depends on your personal preferences. What you said is true, but golden era for MMOs was early 2000s to early 2010s, and for me personally it was during that period

This hurts me. Why would you do this?

[-] absentbird@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

I am fueled by your fading sense of youth.

[-] ADTJ@feddit.uk 1 points 7 months ago

I remember me and my friends being so hyped for Brawl, and then gutted when it got delayed for another year

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I'm ok with forgetting it. Stupid slipping.
