    Imagine how much cooler you’d be if the game were newer.

      Nah. Older games are often less fancy, so gameplay and execution need to carry. Time culls the mediocre, leaving only the memorable behind.

    I’m not interested unless I see “First transmitted via telegraph by the US Government, 1883.” in the about section of the game store.

      I cannot play unless Ben Franklin himself has endorsed it.

    There’s only a few games I played before release, RimWorld and Stone Shard.

    Currently I’m playing Beneath a Steel Sky from 1994, and Fallout 4 is next.

    And I will celebrate with you each time you recover the Amulet of Yendor

    I started Conan exiles with a buddy recently, it’s pretty dope, actually, it’s like an ark survival evolved but an order of magnitude less shitty (with a few caveats).

    Edit: nvm I looked it up and it’s from 2018, feels a lot older, it’s really fun tho

    My top two games played this year are over 10 years old each.

    My 3rd most played is Baldur’s Gate 3, weighing in at 250 hours, so I’ve got that going for me.

      I’m still not sure how much I like BG3, but I have sunk 90h into it at this point, so it can’t be that bad.

      My game of the year for 2023 was probably the Q2 remaster, overall.

      Mine were 7 and 14, respectively, and then I had Diablo 4, so I understand.

    Does dwarf fortress count as a modern game or a 20 year old game?

      Similarly, I play a game called Clan Lord that came out in the 90s, but still gets updated regularly.
