Feel like what exactly?

Care to be more specific

good

It's you that changed. Not the games.

You grew up. It happens to everyone. Whatever you do don't become a manchild. Accept the reality that maturation and adulthood.

Then why do I go back and play older games I've never touched before and feel it again?

Lack of developers putting all their love and effort into the project they're making and companies not listening to what the fans want

Focus group testing

Nostalgia my nig

why do I enjoy going and playing old games I did not play as a child more than most newer games?

For games I've never played before? That's not how it works, user.
The nostalgia narrative is a flawed one since it relies on believing nobody replays their childhood favourites or goes back to experience something old for the first time.

factually wrong seeing that future R&C games after nexus are sub 30fps

When graphics got better the games lost their soul.

you can feel nostalgia for things you didn’t experience firsthand as a child

You have to try harder than that

please define the word nostalgia. I am not sure we are talking about the same thing anymore

I don't understand why you people consider the era of gaming notorious for shit like awful licensed games, movie tie games, shitty out as many sequels as possible as quickly as possible for everything vaguely successful, etc., etc. was the era of "soul".

>Pal regions too pussy for innuendo titles
Aren't you guys generally more lax about this type of shit? "Going Commando" is hardly even dirty.
>For games I've never played before? That's not how it works, user.
It sort of is. If you grew up on N64, playing an N64 game you didn't play as a kid is still going to resonate with you in a lot of the same ways it would if it were a game you had already played.

You remember what you were like then.

>ITT: "old bad new good" drones practice armchair psychology

Companies are still just as greedy if not more today, but instead of putting the effort into making a sequel every year, they just put microtransactions and season passes into one game and milk it dry for 3+ years without doing any work

Shift in target audience and blown out bugets. You can thank the "games should be for everyone" cancer for that. The best part? Women still think video games are for losers.

The composer they got for the series starting with the PS3 games fucking sucks

>shitty out as many sequels as possible as quickly as possible for everything vaguely successful
Fucker, they were doing that before and they're still doing that now. The fuck do you mean "The era of gaming?" Get the fuck out.

false dichotomy, there’s no such thing as old or new, there just is

>*tips fedora*

>they're still doing that now
Not even close to as bad as they were before. They'd dump out sequels in less than 6 months that were little more than a glorified map pack. That's how we wound with shit like there being 16 Armored Core games in existence. It took the James Bond movie franchise half a century to have less entries than Armored Core got in 10 years.

No they're not. When there would be an entire trilogy of GTA released on PS2, each with significant improvements the PS4 only got a previous gen port with more microtransactions and it looks like GTA5 will be the only GTA on PS5 for a long while.

I'd take lazy sequels reusing assets over the same game for 10 years that we have nowadays.

Licensed games have taken a hard back seat in video games.
