Insert cartridge

Reminder that in 10 years, all PS4s and Xbones will be useless paperweights because as soon as they pull the plug on their online servers, nobody will be able to download updates or mandatory installations.

that's not true games had patches even back in the day and they were a huge pain to install you had to look for them on 3rd party sites or the dev's shitty page
if there was internet back in the day you'd see the same shit

There were plenty of bugs
Games now are also significantly more complex

Bullshit.
If that was the case we'd already see this happening to PS3 and X360

You end up with games with permanent bugs or in the very rare cases games that can't be finished because of a bug.
Like this one puts a necessary item for completion behind a background object in one stage that you can't pick up thus you're shit out of luck.

PS3/360 games had updates, but not mandatory downloads just for the games to be playable.

No they weren't. They were often glitchy and buggy as fuck and stayed that way forever. I fucking hate zoomers appropriating my culture,

>permanent bugs
aka soul

How do you put out a game and not test to make sure it can actually be completed first.
But then I have seen some absolutely unbelievable bugs go to release in the modern age as well so I shouldn't be surprised.

The PS3 servers are still up but I dont trust them to be up forever.

Mario bros is around 40kb, even on an absolute shit connection that wouldn't take anywhere near 20 minutes. Maybe 5.

Counter argument;

Imagine how many games never got released because something wasn't finished or there was a major bug they had to fix and the publisher wouldn't put it out past a certain deadline, then all their work is wasted and it might never seen the light of day.

Either that or they go into crunch time to try getting everything done or they completely rush it and make things worse, this is all solved by patching the game post-release.

It doesn't happen with every game, but imagine how many more games would have come out if the developer had just a little more time to finish things.

>games used to actually be completed before being sold.
Not always. Certain games also had patches for subsequent batches. The worst part is being unable to determine which version it was because we didn't have a database/catalogue.

Reminder that in 10 years the security will be already cracked and you can play anything you want on them

can people on 3.56+ OFW PS3s even get CFW yet? Not

Still happens every now and then. One of the DS Bubble Bobble games had one of the bosses fail to spawn in his stage thus you were stuck.

oh my god, that's so boomer humor

>games used to actually be completed before being sold.
there's so, so many gitchy and half assed games from that age, user.

I wanna fuck that milf

The PS4 has like a dozen games that actually require updates.

Plenty of games from back then did receive updates, in the form of newer cartridge revisions, which includes bug fixes to the game.
