 I see the love of  ME 2 from people you just love the  action focus it gained since the last game.

But i talked to hundreds of people on forums since   ME 1. 

And again i ask the ones that DONT like what Mass Effect 2 brought.

What is youre best old school memories from the old days of gaming ?


For my self it was seeing  what No one lives forever did to humour in games.

and also the deep freedom in Oblivion. Oh and also when Wii came out, making PS3 the   least console people admired. (but hey PR proves any thing can sell, even water on a bottle )

But going much further back, anyone remember the first Elder Scrolls?

The release of the Snes.. what do you want back to oure modern day of gaming ?

Off topic forum brah, just sayin.

ahh i tought i had it in the right forum. wrong tab . sorry^



the of topic is dead anyway. this is where all the weird kids are

[vhatever]

The greatest loss has generally been freedom. It's almost like most newer games are just movies you watch with a joystick/mouse in your hand, replacing your TV remote, I guess.

We're not weird. We're eccentric!



Also... not a kid.

I approve of the further de-railing of this topic.

Mainly because I really couldn't understand why the TC wanted us to reminisce about the "old days" like we're ancient and ragged.

I don't want anything back from the old days of gaming.

I've come to enjoy some of the innovations modern gaming brings.



What do YOU want from the old days of gaming?



I see mentioned the deep freedom from Oblivion (which is a current-gen game, might I remind you).

Oblivion really isn't all that free, y'know? Sure, I don't have to do the Thieves Guild quests if I don't want to, but then... I don't have to do the N7 missions in Mass Effect 2 either.

What was so deep about the freedom in Oblivion? With it's open world, it was still fairly restricting to me.

No One Lives Forever? It's a PS2 game. Not something I'd call Ye Olden Days Of Gaming.

 I think about my days playing a text-based MUD called MajorMud in the early 90's.  I can remember the first time I killed someone as they were exping in the Druid Grove.  PVP was much more fun in text format!

Heck, let's go back farther, to Rogue or something like it.  (I admit, I only picked up Elite 2, however long ago.)

Actually, what I want?  Puzzles.  Like Adventure-Game Style, like the sort we saw in old Sierra or LucasArts adventure games (or, before that, in the old Infocom games).  I would love to get more of those back.  BioWare usually nicely throws us a bone or two, but sometimes, sometimes I just really want a whole lotta puzzles.

I consider myself old school in gaming (been doing it since the '80's) and these are some things I loved about gaming back in the day:

Games that were not hyped to ****, although I suppose I could blame the internet for that one.  Weekly trips to the videostore was one way to find out what was new and exciting in video games.  I have fond memories of actually subscribing to a videogame magazine to find out tips and tricks, and who can forget when Dragon Warrior was yours free when you subscribed to a year of Nintendo Power?  If magazines want me to buy their product today, consider doing the following.

I used to love the fact when you bought a system, it wasn't outdated in four years. The NES had over a 7-8 year lifespan, which no money hungry company would dare support today.

I miss awesome light gun games, like Duck Hunt, Super Scope 6 and Lethal Enforcers, and other stupid things like the Power Glove (It's so bad)!

I also miss cool promotional material. I remember preordering Lunar 2 and EB Games gave you a free punching puppet, or cool game t-shirts and stuff. Now we get download codes for ingame armor and weapons...not nearly as cool.

As cpip posted, I'd second more point and click puzzle games. I used to play so many of those on my first pc. Memories of Full Throttle, Rise of the Dragon, Police Quest, Maniac Mansion, and Secret of Monkey Island are coming back. One thing I don't miss is the Space Quest insta-death moments like picking up a sharp object and bleeding to death, or the infamous Space Quest 5 altering history bit that also ends in a game over .
