Nearly all of my gaming experiences were had on a whim. I played tendie as a kid and barely touched anything except the occasional AAA game in my teens, got a PS4 for no reason when I was 20, and now I have a drawer full of Sega Genesis games. What's the most common reason for getting into /vr/? Nostalgia, genuinely believing the games are better, new stuff too expensive, just because, etc? I'm the latter three. I'm playing Bosconian on Namco Museum right now
>>12055783>genuinely believing the games are betterJust this.
>>12055786If I had to pinpoint a moment, it would be getting God of War III Remastered because I wasn't enthused with Dark Souls III and GoW 2018 which I bought alongside the PS4. That game was my>HOOOOOOLY SHITmoment, and the reason I got a PS3, which I learned was PS1 backwards compatible and I was curious about those. Then I got a PS2 to have access to every single game that mattered. I think I have 8 /vr/ consoles now if you include backwards compatibility. My favorite games now are ones I hadn't heard of prior to 2022 and onwards
>>12055786Double ditto seconded. They are just better. I bought a new game last night and it looked cool a post apocalyptic sci Fi game about being stuck in a dome. I got 40 minutes in and I'm still barely even started the tutorial section and it's filled with leftist rhetoric that is just shoehorned in seemingly trying to fit with the timeframe and attitude of 70s Americana. Strange and disheartening. I do this often. I'll buy a game after looking into it play it for an hour or so and get tired of it. There's just something missing with 99% of modern games. It's hard to quantify, but I'm a firm believer in limited tech + creativity/time constraints = potential greatness.
