Playing with my bros every weekend
People using voip. Actually using it, being cool, leading to friend requests going out. Now everyone is talking in discord and mutes in game voip OR they're a pussy little zoomer dweeb who's scared of interaction and disabled voip to avoid ever socializing with anyone.
>voip
I don't what that is
>Sexy women.
Depending on the games, I do find women in games these days to be rather ugly
>>voip
voice ip
meaning they're using the mic
maybe cus the games aren't fun enough for a mic. if you plsy fortnite you would find your fellow voip friends
I'd enable it if anyone used it for anything other than micspamming.
There's literally only two options
>games like drg where everyone disables it and then does moronic shit while not responding to voice
Or
>holdfast where everyone is just spamming homosexual shit and saying bababooey over and over again
Back in the 2000s I made a shit load of friends on Xbox live and we talked all the time. I stayed friends with one dude for like 10 years.
Sexy women.
Paying one fair price for a game and 100% of its content, with the game designed from it's core to be fun, instead of baiting you into grinding cosmetics or paying for microtransactions. It's hard to even filter out those games. You could pay $90 for destiny 2 and it's dlc, a year later it's fired with free-2-play morons and your dlc has been deleted from the game.
Loading screen minigames. No idea why it hasn't made a comeback since I think the patent expired.

go back
no one asked redditfrogBlack person
I miss Miiverse/Streetpass. I miss Nintendo's off-kilter take on social media interactions.
i miss playing gta san andreas about 20 years ago
that was the peak of gaming for me
gta 4 and 5 are great games too, but the memories i have with playing san andreas for the first time are most special to me
just something that isnt a daily chore or a second job, something that i can pick up and complete 100% at my own pace, something that has tons of details put in it and even after playing for over 500 hours, blows my mind away
gta 6 will be great too no doubt, the leaked footage looked very promising, so i am very excited for it
there are a few other games i am looking forward to that have me hyped as well, but i dont think i want to share details about them so soon
Linearity. The best shooter games are still the ones where you follow a set path instead of some open world collectathon sandbox.
>Linearity.
It kind of baffles me that so many people have a disdain for this
People mistake linearity for corridor shooters, which got so bad that they used to give you a game over for taking 2 steps off the scripted path.
>I paid $70 so I want 200 hours of content please give me ubisoft towers I want to go everywhere
>What do you legitimately miss in terms of vidya?
Having fun.
I miss people making good threads
have a nice day homosexual back to your containment board
Infinite leveling in online games. There might have been a limit but it would take you a decade to get there.
games where fictional worlds where you could lose yourself, nowadays almost every game has some kind of political real ife bullshit
I miss the mystery in mmorpgs.
Now all the info is given to you on a silver platter through google, and you can't ask anyone what they know because they'll just tell you to google it, or to stop wasting their time.
Games launching finished and complete.
When you install a game and it just works without any patches or mods.
Old communities and the way they were. I miss forums, I miss fan sites, I miss old clans and groups. I miss when community servers were the norm and not the exception, I miss when core game communities were strong and united instead of broken and spread apart, I miss when fandom was full of good fans you could talk amicaly with instead of split between trend chasers and deranged obsessives.
And lemme tell you something, bad games in a pre-established franchise can be apocalyptic for that franchise's community, especially if those bad games become popular. So you best hope that a franchise you love dies peacefully after a good run. Doesn't split the community or leave it bitter and angry.
>find a forum
>some guy is saying jesus is brown and a israelite
>say no
>every reply is raging and asks for a source
>quote the bible and firsthand accounts where he's said to be white
>UMMM ARE U SERIOUS? U MIGHT AS WELL SAY HE CAME TO YOU IN A DREAM
actual kek
there's one or two forums for an old flight sim I play (they share users for the most part) that's pretty close knit, still has that feel, mostly since the users are the same boomers that started the sites years ago. It's getting to the point though where RIP posts aren't uncommon, you might get one or two every couple of years if a user dies
Still better than what happened to God of War. The newest entry was very successful, way more than the older games. I hate to call things reddit but it is peak reddit writing and Kratos is eternally fricked.
When the team was a bunch of friendly and talented white nerds who made their own studio and engine.
couch coop/local mulyiplayer. the ability to resell or give away the physucal game when i no longer play it. physical copies in general/owning the games you buy. when video games were seen as "uncool". when making video games was a passion instead of a career. when games had unique artstyles instead of photorealistic graphics.
I really miss games having characters and costumes and shit to unlock. Now you just pay for everything, and the games feel barebones and less replayable due to it.
this too, can't believe i forgot that one. the good days where you saw someone with some sick armor and thought "holy shit, I bet he did some wicked achievement to get that" instead of now, "holy shit, what a massive homosexual, I bet he spent $10 on that".
Let's not forget how customization options used to look grounded and cool, and now everything is clownshoes neon vomit simply to show off how rich you are
split screen
Cheat codes.
I miss just being able to buy a game on launch day, get pumped and read the manual on the ride home, then pop it in and play it.
No bugs, no DLC, no fear of missing out if I bought used a few years after it came out.
Now I won't ever buy something on launch. Patching has caused some of the laziest shit aside from game breaking bugs, half the content is usually missing.
I used to carry a stack of my PS2 manuals into the toilet to read
sometimes I'd even just read them under the covers on a school night
Some of them oozed sovl
Full white cast, lack of minorities.
Varied AAA genres.
Developers and publishers willing to take risks.
Edgy gaming mags with edgy commercials and PR.
Offensive humor.
Getting full game for a single price without DLCs, always online, day 1 patches.
Playful and more optimistic internet users, varied internet forums and novelty of MMOs.
Pixel art.
RTS.
E3 shows and their peak cringe.
Less homosexuals
New type of games that will be forever remembered as one of the greats just because it was the first of its kind. Tons of them in the 90s and early 2000s
I’m one of those boomers that likes the current gaming landscape, even if I hate all the indie pixelshit. I think most classic franchises are out there delivering so I’m generally covered, but the thing I miss the most are track-based racing games. I love racing games, probably my second favorite genre, but I hate open world racing games with the most extreme passion imaginable. If we ever got another Tokyo Xtreme Racer, Ridge Racer, or even an Underground 1 remake, I’ll be very happy. The second thing I miss is old Sega, and I wish they took more risks with their games, like I don’t need 7 Yakuza games in one generation.
>even if I hate all the indie pixelshit
Bad taste.
I miss video games as entertainment instead of existing to push/normalize ideology.
