FireHazard51 | 2,052 Social Team · Posted June 4, 2023 Author Share Posted June 4, 2023 I'm not opposed to retro games at all but I do like playing things that are new to me and there are only so many retro games I haven't played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickman | 4,013 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Both! But I play retro games a lot more so I went with that option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SailingWiimote | 16 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I choose retro games because the shorter games are better for my busy modern life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeatherRebel5150 | 1,056 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I bounce between them almost one for one. I just finished Xenoblade Torna a few weeks ago and was playing Mario Golf 64 recently. Will probably bounce back to Xenoblade 3 after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch twitch sometimes. I feel like you just can’t casually play a modern game. You have to live it, learn it, and commit to it. I watched a bit of Elden Ring. No thank you. I just want jump over some enemies and touch a flag pole. And I’m sure these people are looking at what I play and are saying the same thing: “No thank you.” Edited June 4, 2023 by final fight cd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox | 1,673 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Yakuza, Jedi, Zelda, Diablo, Final Fantasy, etc. Feels like an amazing year for new releases already. Usually we have to wait till fall/end of the year to see this much good $hit. I did play a couple of arcade games in my buddy’s man cave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although all of the retro games I actually like and would play are short. Even on later systems I lean towards the shorter games, which are becoming more rare unless they're indie games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRobot | 5,827 Events Team · Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I'm about 75% retro if we're including new NES homebrew in that. I'm pretty proud of myself for embracing some modern since we got a PS5 this past Christmas (at least to a small degree). I also play a little Switch. Does Metroid Dread count as modern or retro? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacepup | 2,412 Administrator · Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I don't play either exclusively and bounce around, but in terms of what I find myself usually *actively* playing in engaged manner, more frequently - it would definitely be more modern gaming. I find that every now and then I'll play something retro either due to nostalgia, or because I really like something, but if I had to really pin it down, I'd guess that at least 75% + of my gaming nowadays, is more modern. Modern in my case, being a bit flexible - not always just brand new games - but games released within the past decade. I'll always have a love and respect for older games - but in terms of console gaming, for example, I haven't touched the NES in a long time and rarely play it anymore. It doesn't mean I don't still love it and have great nostalgia for it, but I really like exploring new things and having new experiences. The "all modern games are trash" mentality is just something I've never embraced - and while I don't love all of them, there is so much amazing content out there, being produced all the time, that closing off to it completely would feel like such a huge loss for me.

PS5 has some amazing single player games and stories. And don't worry, not everything is super long. Also you don't need 100% games so no need to spend 50+ hours in Ghost of Tsushima when you can speed through it and finish it in like 20 hours. Though I LOVED the game so I took my time and never teleported/fast traveled in the game. I roamed the lands and slaughter hundreds of invading moguls. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireHazard51 | 2,052 Social Team · Posted June 6, 2023 Author Share Posted June 6, 2023 For anyone that loves shogun movies I would say this is a must play. Near the very end of the game there was a moment absolutely breath taking and moving. Previously only a movie could have such a scene. And to allow you the control over how it ends!?! It's what a lot of directors want to have, a choose your adventure but in movie format. @Reed Rothchild have you beat this game yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
