Same age as you and I’m with you on this one. I’ve never felt old because of gaming and it’s shocking to me someone would be surprised to have the PS1 called Retro. The system is over twenty years old at this point. Gaming regularly reminds you of its heritage and age with anniversaries all over the place and the…

I’m 44 and still have my original Atari 2600 (under my bed) and play NES and SNES games more frequently than I do my PS4.

Man, this was a great read, and it feels so close to home it hurts.
I’m 34 and I feel ancient when my cousins talk about Doom 3 as “the old Doom”.

It’s all the sequels to the games I played years ago that make me feel old.

It depends on what you’re looking for I guess. “Boring and sloppy” to me sounds like commentary on the game’s sense of direction/signposting (or lack thereof) and how it sort of shotguns its content across the entire map for the player to just stumble across.

Things that, for me, makes the game great and interesting…

The angler fish were scary at first, then just frustrating, then a non-issue once I figured them out.

One of my sisters is also really into Zelda, but it’s the OTHER sister I mostly love playing games with. The main ones we’ve played together are Halo: Reach, Borderlands, and most recently Overcooked 2. My favorite one to play with her is Overcooked 2. I’ve never seen her get so stressed out about chopping lettuce and…

I remember pausing the game right before I finally FINALLY beat Sigma and his stupid lightsaber. I called for my mother and my sisters and my dad and probably the dog, too. Everybody came and pretended to care about how hype I was as I defeated him... and then he transformed and immediately destroyed me. I was 9 and I…

It’s truly confounding. I also grabbed the recent remaster (on PC) and that was the latest edition of this game to be put down tantalizingly close to resolution.

I know I'm pretty close to the"end" of FFTA, but I keep running into Story missions with "Fight" laws, meaning I have to grind out my mages to stand a chance. One day they will be strong enough to win a fight on their own!

Wii - MadWorld (???? really?! I didn’t finish this and I was having so much fun!?) ~ sometimes having too much fun is the reason we don’t finish.

Lol! I was born before all home video game consoles and arcade games...it all makes me feel old.
