No. And the word you are looking for to describe this idealized fantasy land imagining for a time that the creator or audience never lived through is anemoia.

I was stuck tending a skatepark everyday in the 90's, literally 10 years. I wore nike shorts and flip flops everyday. Usually freeballing, listening to Zep and gangster rap cd's they sold at local gas stations. No. I can't relate to this video game. But I don't think it looks ugly (at face value)

No. This is a 2010's or 2020's lame girl's (or male feminist's) idea of the 90's.
It's literally historical revisionism.
We used to call people faggots in the 90's, not dress like them.

Look at some behind the scenes videos of the OG Power Rangers and you'll see the crew openly make fun of the blue one for being a fag.

Fast forward 30 years later and they're now a protected class.

>>738727238
The 90s was a period embodying the industrial collapse of the US as domestic industry was sold and shipped overseas to China.
In some parts of the country, conditions were relative to former Warsaw Pact countries in the Eastern Bloc after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
>>
>>738727238
No, the 90s were CD players and frosted tips. Both of your examples are 'Dude, remember the 80's???' but with one digit changed. It's still 80s-wank.

Piercings, tattoos, excessive swearing (and even smoking) were seen as bad qualities in a person. I was told very clearly to steer clear of such people back then, since they could have been dangerous street gang members. Oh yeah, and black people too.
Today all those things became more socially-acceptable, but despite that my views have never changed.

For the last time:
No.

It's identical to another fake 90s nostalgia game entitled Gone Home. These people knew nothing about culture back then. It's very surface level understanding which creates gigantic misunderstandings. Some early 90s millennials memories are completely warped, even though who potentially experienced some of it.
They find the most basic pop culture shit that is right but basically read everything else wrong.
Also displaying common pieces of technology in is amateur shit anyone can do.
>>
>>738727238
No, not at all. Not even remotely like that.

thing is
the 90's were cool
but they were cool for reasons diametrically opposed to all of their other "philosophies" which is what they're really interested in
>>
>>738727238
>I was born in the wrong generation!
In the 1990s if you had a doctor’s appointment, you had to sit in the waiting room for an hour. No phone, no earbuds. Just rawdog that boredom until the doctor was ready. You also had to watch the same Rugrats episode 100 times because nothing else was on and your parents were busy. And if you wanted to a hear a song, you turned on the radio and hoped they would play it. People weren’t like getting into deep conversations with strangers in public before smartphones came along.

>>738727238
The 90s was the start of the decay of the western civilization, by pushing blacks in media and normalizing homosexuality.
>>
>>738727238
Hell no.

>>738733013
More like zoomies coming to wail about millennials are in the wrong since both sales and player numbers indicate that fucking nobody likes it

stop using Grok, pajeet.
>>
>>738733339
We at least had cool blacks like Will Smith and Samuel L Jackson. The 1990s were the best race relations had ever been. They could announce a black Star Trek captain and nobody would cry about forced diversity.
>>
>>738733013
Where the gameplay?

This woman grew up extremely rich. What can she know about regular life?
>>
>>738733428
it kinda began at the end of the 90's
remember shows like "queer eye for the straight guy?"
only started in 2003
there was a couple somewhat pro-gay episodes of the simpsons
alternative fags were also way more likely to have those kind of views and they were the people making all the art, so people remember it as being more prominent than it was because of those peoples output and opines
which is weird because people loved calling each other fags and calling things they didn't like gay even if they were "being progressive"
>>
>>738733428
Will and Grace was one of the most popular sitcoms of its day. Ellen kissing a woman was treated as a big groundbreaking moment. Not to mention faggy movies like To Wong Foo winning a ton of awards.

An extended duration wouldn't have made them convey the era any better. It'd have been dragging out more pop culture references at best.
But they'd never conveyed anything above the surface level, indeed.
>>
>>738733832
Even in the early 90s Ellen Degeneres coming out on her sitcom caused a huge moral outcry. Christians were threatening to boycott Disney The way they do now with trans characters. You also had shows like Frasier and Friends doing gay panic episodes. Gays were becoming more accepted after the AIDS scare of the 1980s. But it was still taboo to feature them in mass media.

Anytime I have ever tried to touch one of those lights I was either slapped or screamed at. Have these retards ever been in a car?

>>738734137
Ellen was in 1997 and none of the boycotts amounted to shit. The early 90s lesbian kiss was on LA Law and the protests over that didn't do a damn thing either.
>>

Wow you didn't have to kick me while I was down, asshole. You think those facts didn't make me depressed enough as is?

You were abused by psychopaths.
>>
>>738733579
White people loved blacks then because they were allowed to be black. Now every black character in a video game is just a white guy, American (or Scottish) with black skin. No culture of his own in any way. That's why it feels so forced.

>They could announce a black Star Trek captain and nobody would cry about forced diversity.
I liked Sisko because he was a good dad and loved his son.
>>
>>738734972
I loved him because of his charisma and quite unique acting. His acting sure is weird and not natural at all, but he's always fully invested in it, and his unique (but weird) style sure made it a special experience every time he did something dramatic. Like in the episode he thought he was a journalist in 1950s America or whatever it was.

There is no gameplay. There's multiple clips of people not pressing any buttons, the game plays itself, you don't have to do anything during quick time events as there's no failstates

No, you can go watch music videos of the era to gauge the early 90s aesthetic.

>>738735484

>>738733635
The entire gameplay is either brief sections where you can't lose or cutscenes where pressing a button has your character do an action (like the driving sequence where there's a song playing where you can remove any and all cohesion by having your characters bob their head like schizoid crack addicts). It's very much like a Kojima cutscene where pressing a button might alter it slightly, and that's the entire game.

Because zoomers can't imagine a world without phones and the internet. The idea of just hanging out with friends outside every day and finding things to do is some archaic ritual that eludes them. Their only source is t.v. sitcoms.
It's like watching a movie about the middle ages and believing that's how peasants actually lived.

>>738727360
The 90's actually were that good. Everything has been shit since then. Zoomers have nothing good to be nostalgic for, so they're drawn to the most recent time when things were still pretty good.

>>738728632
If the game really took place in the 90's, having a gay character would require like an entire story arc to justify their existence. It wasn't so laissez-faire back then.
>>
>>738727238
These games are not made by people that actually grew up in the 90s. Or if they are, those people were extremely sheltered, rich, spoiled and most likely bullied so they never had much of a life to begin with.

This
or the localization team would write the gay characters as family members to try to explain why they are so touchy like what they did to Sailor Moon

>>738738140
The 90s were better, but their whole aesthetic is either 80s colorful (early 90s) or full on grunge (mid to late 90s)
Meanwhile the 2000s went from Hyper futurism on the early 2000s to OH THE EDGE! from the mid onwards
It is more fun and freeing to design things on the later topics than on the earlier ones
