Sly Raccoon, Sly Cooper 2 Band of Thieves and Sly Cooper 3 honor amoung thieves was the games of my childhood. Sly 4 thieves in time ruined my childhood... Still Sly cooper is always near of my heart, Super Mario wii games like galaxies and Pokemon ds games are important for me too. 🔥🔥
My Most Favorite Era of Video Games are Street Fighter, Mega Man, Resident Evil, Capcom's Maximo, Devil Kings (Sengoku Basara) and Devil May Cry. *Capcom's Maximo* is what I Absolutely missed playing from my Childhood Years. It has the Best Cutscenes, Voice Actors and Actresses, Stages, Enemies and Best Epic Bosses I've ever seen.
I agree, this era was incredible. The stretch from the mid 90s to the mid 2000s had an insane amount of variety, industry shifts, genre refinements, brand NEW genres, new controller methods, the birth of online gaming, leaps of graphics and performance... It was a heady time.
@@Jak_The_Eco_Warri0r. I'm a 90s kid but I LOVED the games you listed. Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper and GTA: Vice City are the games that I cherished as a young adult/teen.
The fact that so many of the great games we get these days are just remakes or sequels of games from the 2000s or late 90s just proves that gaming was better in alot of ways back during those times.
Being born in the mid 90s meant THIS was my generation of gaming. The thing I miss most of all was games having these cool manuals alongside them in the case. Full of cool art, character bios and gameplay tips these were little booklets of awesome and I'm always a little sad inside to open a new game and find just a disk inside.
It's similar to the charm of music CDs in their heyday. I used to also love looking through the booklets of those seeing images of the artists, special thanks, lyrics to the songs, etc.
The GameCube was what got me into gaming and I enjoyed playing the Mario titles, Super Monkey Ball 2, Kirby Air Ride, heck, even some licensed titles were amazing too.
I miss couch co-op. I can't count how many fun memories I had playing games like Medal of Honor Rising Sun, Serious Sam Next Encounter, The Simpsons Road Rage, all the WWE games on GameCube, and Conflict Desert Storm with my brothers and sister. It makes me sad that newer games don't have this feature anymore.
One of the best aspects for me was going to the news stand and finally seing the new edition of my fav gaming magazine and spend my afternoon reading everything
PSX/N64 era is likely my favorite. It was literally breathtaking to play some of those titles in that era as they released. The first time Cloud jumped off the train, riding Epona across Hyrule field, Super Mario 64(yes the whole game), z-targeting, the amazing wrestling games, hiding in a box in Metal Gear Solid, playing Gran Turismo and getting good at it, dropping an AT-AT for the first time, seeing Crash Bandicoot talk smack to Nintendo outside their headquarters, DAYTONNNAAAAA!!!, Super Smash Bros for the first time(and that commercial), Jill sandwiches, Silent Hill and Dino Crisis, Oddjob making you rage, the opening CGI in Final Fantasy VIII and gunblades, the DK rap…okay I think I’ve made my point. Still, it was an incredible time for video games. Bonus: Demo Discs!
I grew up playing these games and the fun and joy with funs its unmatched today we had sleep overs just so we can all play as kids and that made our childhood fun
Man I miss those days when videogames are meant to be played for fun, no DLC packs, no microtransactions, no Season Pass, and you don't have to have internet connection to play games (unless its online multiplayer). 2000's videogames was a great time for all kids back in the day.
In early 2000's I got my video game news from XPlay with Adam Sessler and Morgan Web , not only was it very informative it had lot of first rate humour . XPlay was well done and the hosts were awesome.
The 2000's is the last time where games innovated with the highest production values for popular titles yet took risks and experimented. So many genres still flourished and popular titles didn't take half a decade to make.
I know it still exists today, and it may sound weird: I miss the days of gaming when games were only playable on discs that you could pop right in and play. No day 1 patches or anything because they didn’t need them
I feel like Nintendo with Switch and their approach to game development is like 2000s again. You do not wait long for releases, there is couch gaming, everyone is waiting for Directs, etc.
Lmao, what a copout, rose colored lazy comment. There will always be good games, and bad ones, just like there is now, and will be in the future. I don't think anyone can make a blanket statement about the quality of all games related and tied to a specific time period. We could easily say the same for certain types of games that were more plentiful in the past such as the semi-open world, shooters and action games like Thief, system shock, Deus Ex. Fable, Halo etc.
I know I sound like a broken record but maaaaan the variety wad so good back then. So many wacky ideas and games that were just fun. I'll be forever grateful that I experienced this generation
This was the golden age of gaming. I remember those were the days where the closest thing we had to social media was our video game consoles. Those were the best days! The music, movies, video games, and society in general were just way better and simpler. Good times! 😊
I will always remember the 2000s as being able to play Nintendo games online for the first time, especially Smash Bros. and Pokémon. The Friend Codes were annoying but it was fun swapping them. It as also the first time I could actually get event Pokémon, both online and in person.
Ryu from Street Fighter, Mega Man himself, Chris Redfield from RE, Maximo from Capcom, Dante from DMC, Yukimura Sanada from Sengoku Basara and Frank West are all my Favorite Childhood Capcom Game Heroes of All Time! They're the reason why I Absolutely love gaming.
I miss getting full games without DLC, buying games and not waiting for the instalment patches, single player focus, most games had great extras once finished, no streamers, longer campaigns, turn base JRPG and more
What I miss about gaming in the 2000s is the unexpected stuff that game franchises had at most times. Spyro and Crash changing their styles was very unexpected and a bit cool. I was a kid at the time, so I have fond memories of that happening. Jak, Ratchet, and Sly Cooper had changed a bit unexpectedly too in gameplay... especially Jak. Seeing the graphics change from polygonal graphics to semi real as well as the crazy competition was so cool! That's a few of which I miss.
Best part about this time is there really wasn't an internet yet. Some homes may have had it but most people didn't really start having decent internet and home computers til closer to 2010. So you couldn't just go looking up game guides or YT videos if you got stuck. You just had to find the solution on your own. You got so much more out of clearing a game
My Favorite Gaming Era? Depends, really. There are video games that I grew to have a fond of from different years. For instance: • 2010s - Mortal Kombat 9, X, and 11, even Resident Evil 6 and some Batman Arkham games. • 2000s - Ultimate Spider-Man, Modern Warfare 2 (OG) • 2020s - Sifu, Modern Warfare 2 (reboot), Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart So yeah, I pick whatever game that suits my needs.
I think one of the best things about gaming back then was being able to buy a new game and put it in and start playing right away instead of waiting hours for it to install
I couldn't agree more with your point about real hype and how there weren't immediately spoilers everywhere. You can't really enjoy the vastness of a game anymore because so many people have it as a literal job to play the whole game in a day and then harvest the cutscenes.
I started gaming in the 80s, nothing will ever beat gaming in arcades, head to head, plugging quarters for continues, waiting to see the next new game and upgrade or system to release, waiting for game magazines to release for new tips and tricks, or calling the Nintendo holine, the Sega channel and 16 bit in the 90s, it's been one hell of a treat to game through the last 4 decades. I started in the end of the atari era and quickly moved into 8bit gaming. Nothing today will ever be as revolutionary.
getting a n64 for christmas and poping in mario 64 and just being amazed u can climb a tree and do a back flip off it was pretty much the greatest feeling up to that point along with ps1 and playing ff7 and feels like your playing a action pack movie and mgs1 and littlery spending 40 mins of listening the codex cus it was so interesting was also a feeling sneaking around by enemies not even firing a shot yup
Born in 1997, but Experienced the PS2 and PSP is my golden Age of Gaming from the 2000s was outstanding. Actually Experimentation was my favorite, because LocoRoco, Patapon and Katamari were innovative at the time.
the library of games for all of the 6th gen consoles seems almost endless, there are an abundance of obscure titles that I am finding even today, because devs were encouraged to take risks there’s always something new to try
I think there's 2 huge reasons why we use to love games more. 1: because everything was new coming Into a 3d area. And 2. We didn't have influence by all these critics. We got what we got and loved the game for what it was ans not for what it wasn't. Social media is a blessing and a curse.
I miss being able to play a game right out the box. Now you have to download it and even if you predownload it youre almost instantly given a Day 1 patch for all the things they didnt finish. Also games would tell you what the storage needed was gonna be but now a 60gb game could turn into a 90gb game
I feel like that games in the 2000s like GTA3 and others set the standard for 3D gaming as it felt fresh and new. Nowadays you still get great games but mostly it's the graphics are improving but gameplay wise I feel your not getting anything that feels fresh or exciting like the games in the 2000s. Maybe it's old age lol.
while online is definitely the more accessible form of multiplayer(to a degree), it doesn’t nearly have the same vibe as local multiplayer, either by split screen or lan multiplayer. Which is why I absolutely cherish arcade gaming, especially racing and fighting
So many memories from that Era like jak and Daxter the precursor legacy max Payne the fall of max Payne tekken 5 , tekken tag tournament and defjam vendetta and defjam ffny gta series resident evil sly Cooper series midnight club dub edition etc the list goes on
It seems like in gaming back then you did not have to "Level Up" as much to make a mission that may or may not be that enjoyable easier. Like Assassins Creed: Origins I guess I got to level up for "End Of The Snake". Now what's enjoyable is trying to sneak around all the guards or having to take care of them just not sure how good the rest is but I am just loving the open world of Ancient Egypt. This is an incredible and very important video by the way.
I feel majority of these problems are cocky up tight contestant creators(not all of them) but like when they had people bully and threaten insomniac because they didn’t have certain suits in the game like the rami one which they were saving for a surprise and I miss all these things in video games that’s why I like Nintendo more they keep the couch play, playing with friends 😭and I miss new weird games and I hope they bring these back
I remember the fall of 2002. GTA: Vice City came out. The game took place in 1986. 16 years ago felt SO long ago back then. (I was only 14 when it came out). And that world looked SO different. That’s like the game being set in 2007. That doesn’t feel so long ago. Has the world, popular culture really changed that much at all???
I still remember God Of War yes all in one no promises of "ooh you wanna upgrade you're weapons gotta pay" no you just farming red orbs and when you killed a boss you would get thousands of orbs time to upgrade!!
I was expecting no 1 to be the one thing games lacked nowadays. But after watching it, I realized there are more aspects I didn't had in mind. Also you forgot dedicated portable consoles, not mobile gaming.
Pretty good list. I miss good couch coop games, there really isn't much anymore. Curious if a list similar of the 2010-23 could be done, in which well eSports. Gotta be a huge positive with how much money it makes. Might be more negatives in that range tho like microtransactions hah.
A few things i didn't think I would miss are excessive tutorials and hand holding, like the game constantly pausing to tell you to "Press 'jump' to jump", "Press □ to do a quick attack, △to do a strong attack, press ○ to grab", "The enemy is stunned, press A to do a devastating attack for massive damage" and "You got some XP, use them to level up/upgrade your weapons". But today, games like Elden Ring and Zelda don't tell you enough, and games don't have manuals anymore, often not even a digital one. They encourage you to figure out things by yourself, but I mostly end up imitating what streamers do and or look up guides online. Like how promotional videos for Breath of the Wild showed Link shield surfing, but I couldn't figure out how to do it so I had to look it up online. But if I didn't watch videos of shield surfing online, either from Nintendo or streamers, I wouldn't even have known that you could do it, along many other things.
I agree with all of these but you might want to turn the volume of the music down a bit because there were parts where it was really hard to hear over it.
What I've learned in the last few years is that to a great number of people you could give them exactly what they want and they will find a way to complain nonetheless. But at least they didn't had social media to harass everyone about it.
remember when you paid for a physical copy of a game and all you had to do was go home open the case and put it in the console and play it right away. no install time and the only space you needed was for your save file.
I like alot of video but have to say this is the best video you ever made. I agree with all your points and think that way too. Biggest problem today is lack of real innovation and competition. Just look at the sports game each of the major sports has one game by one company and thats it. Use to be games for gamers by gamers now its games for gamers by businesses trying to maximize profits and nothing else.
I was born in 89 and miss going to a pawnshop to get games. I was able to get a new n64 and PS2 with new games, but if I wanted more games it off to the pawnshop. Haha

Spyro VS Crash! Orange and Purple II!
Sly Raccoon, Sly Cooper 2 Band of Thieves and Sly Cooper 3 honor amoung thieves was the games of my childhood. Sly 4 thieves in time ruined my childhood... Still Sly cooper is always near of my heart, Super Mario wii games like galaxies and Pokemon ds games are important for me too. 🔥🔥
The 2000's game era.
Because that is the era i was born in and I have played tons of fantastically and amazingly revolutionary games of that decade.
My Most Favorite Era of Video Games are Street Fighter, Mega Man, Resident Evil, Capcom's Maximo, Devil Kings (Sengoku Basara) and Devil May Cry. *Capcom's Maximo* is what I Absolutely missed playing from my Childhood Years. It has the Best Cutscenes, Voice Actors and Actresses, Stages, Enemies and Best Epic Bosses I've ever seen.
Trading Pokémon on the GTS in DPPt and HGSS
I agree, this era was incredible. The stretch from the mid 90s to the mid 2000s had an insane amount of variety, industry shifts, genre refinements, brand NEW genres, new controller methods, the birth of online gaming, leaps of graphics and performance... It was a heady time.
1996 to 2005 was the best 10 years in gaming.
Ratchet and clank, Sly cooper and Jak and Daxter are my favorite childhood game heroes of all time! Plus, they're the real reason why I love games.
same here those are my favorite from the ps2 era and I am glad the Ratchet & Clank is still on going I just wish Jak and Sly would keep on going
Same here.
@@bradtussey827 Hopefully in the future. I sure do miss them.
Right on, bro! Along with Kingdom Hearts, Star Wars: Battlefront II (2005), Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005), Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro.
@@Jak_The_Eco_Warri0r. I'm a 90s kid but I LOVED the games you listed.
Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper and GTA: Vice City are the games that I cherished as a young adult/teen.
The 2000s was a masterclass in gaming 💯.
I would definitely say the graphics from the PS1 to the PS2 PS2, to the PS3 it was such a massive difference
Jak and daxter was a real blast. Man I love this Era of gaming! They definitely need to bring jak and sly back!
I really miss when games were released complete and ready, that's not always the case these days
More like that's almost NEVER THE CASE!!!!! GODDAMN CORPO FUCKS!!!!!
I miss the early 2000's in general =[ gaming, music, tv shows... man it was such a golden era
I was both in 2000s
Same here.
2000's, only second to the 90's 😎
The fact that so many of the great games we get these days are just remakes or sequels of games from the 2000s or late 90s just proves that gaming was better in alot of ways back during those times.
Being born in the mid 90s meant THIS was my generation of gaming. The thing I miss most of all was games having these cool manuals alongside them in the case.

i remember playing Taz wanted Pac-man world 2 and Mario kart double dash on the Gamecube
I was born in the 2000's and i had such a amazing experience with the games of that era.
It was like the glorious age of modern videogames.
I miss couch co-op. I can't count how many fun memories I had playing games like Medal of Honor Rising Sun, Serious Sam Next Encounter, The Simpsons Road Rage, all the WWE games on GameCube, and Conflict Desert Storm with my brothers and sister.

2000’s where golden
Especaly if you where born in late 90’s like me
I grew up playing these games and the fun and joy with funs its unmatched today we had sleep overs just so we can all play as kids and that made our childhood fun
It’s for these reasons that the 6th-gen of gaming will remain the greatest generation of gaming ever.
watch the fortnite/roblox kids say different
Man I miss those days when videogames are meant to be played for fun, no DLC packs, no microtransactions, no Season Pass, and you don't have to have internet connection to play games (unless its online multiplayer). 2000's videogames was a great time for all kids back in the day.

I know it still exists today, and it may sound weird: I miss the days of gaming when games were only playable on discs that you could pop right in and play. No day 1 patches or anything because they didn’t need them
That because optical drive are too slow to run games off the disk
PS4 blu ray drive is only about 3x times faster than PS3
I bet they had massive crunch time back before patches existed.
I’ve always recognised how unbelievably lucky I was to come to Bioshock for the first time, not knowing the twist… 3:07
Gaming In The 2000's Was All Kinds Of Good Loved playing hidden gems Like Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike and Lethal Enforcers good times man !!!!
Old gamer here, started on the Atari 2600, my favorite generation was the ps3/xbox 360 era. Ps2/xbox close second
I'm glad to be a 2000s kid😊
I'm glad to be a early 2000s kid
@easyfruitz3656 I was born in 1999 so that's makes me a very lucky person.
Born in 89 the 2000s is the best time in gaming.
I was born in 1996 and i agree 2000's were best gaming era. ❤
I feel like Nintendo with Switch and their approach to game development is like 2000s again. You do not wait long for releases, there is couch gaming, everyone is waiting for Directs, etc.
Game design was just... Better in the 2000's.
Unlike now when every game has to be an empty open world.
Lmao, what a copout, rose colored lazy comment. There will always be good games, and bad ones, just like there is now, and will be in the future.
I don't think anyone can make a blanket statement about the quality of all games related and tied to a specific time period.
We could easily say the same for certain types of games that were more plentiful in the past such as the
semi-open world, shooters and action games like Thief, system shock, Deus Ex. Fable, Halo etc.
@ArmaBiologica35 Yeah. Shit.
I know I sound like a broken record but maaaaan the variety wad so good back then. So many wacky ideas and games that were just fun. I'll be forever grateful that I experienced this generation
I agree with so many of these the 2000s really was the golden age of gaming.
This was the golden age of gaming. I remember those were the days where the closest thing we had to social media was our video game consoles. Those were the best days! The music, movies, video games, and society in general were just way better and simpler. Good times! 😊
I will always remember the 2000s as being able to play Nintendo games online for the first time, especially Smash Bros. and Pokémon. The Friend Codes were annoying but it was fun swapping them. It as also the first time I could actually get event Pokémon, both online and in person.
Ratchet&Clank, Sly Cooper and Jak&Daxter always and forever. The holy trinity of playstation. ❤️
The golden age of anime inspired, Def Jam, and anime fighting games. As a Budokai and Naruto Ultimate Ninja gamer, I was a happy Blockbuster baby.
I count myself incredibly lucky to have experienced "would you kindly" as intended without spoilers and without figuring it out beforehand.
2000s was peak gaming
Ryu from Street Fighter, Mega Man himself, Chris Redfield from RE, Maximo from Capcom, Dante from DMC, Yukimura Sanada from Sengoku Basara and Frank West are all my Favorite Childhood Capcom Game Heroes of All Time! They're the reason why I Absolutely love gaming.
I miss getting full games without DLC, buying games and not waiting for the instalment patches, single player focus, most games had great extras once finished, no streamers, longer campaigns, turn base JRPG and more
STOP GIVING US INCOMPLETE GAMES OR WE KILL OURSELVES!
For me:
Actually FINISHED games without the lootboxes, battlepasses and microtransactions.
Man the variety in the 2000s was crazy
What I miss about gaming in the 2000s is the unexpected stuff that game franchises had at most times. Spyro and Crash changing their styles was very unexpected and a bit cool.

In the 2000s naughty dog, square enix and konami was on fire !! And capcom had the 2nd Renaissance with resident evil 4 and devil may cry
The thumbnail is my Big 3 of the PS2 Era ❤💯
Hope you guys make a list for the 1980s and 1990s
I think one of the best things about gaming back then was being able to buy a new game and put it in and start playing right away instead of waiting hours for it to install
This was my decade. Fun times.
We are getting to that point of noatalgia for the 2000's and leaving 16 bit behind. The problem is that most games controls don't hold up.
i miss the replayability of the older games
I couldn't agree more with your point about real hype and how there weren't immediately spoilers everywhere. You can't really enjoy the vastness of a game anymore because so many people have it as a literal job to play the whole game in a day and then harvest the cutscenes.

What a time to be alive
I literally feel sooo bad for the 2010 kids and 2020 kids while the 2000s people had the better decade for gaming
Gotta love 2000s gaming!
getting a n64 for christmas and poping in mario 64 and just being amazed u can climb a tree and do a back flip off it was pretty much the greatest feeling up to that point along with ps1 and playing ff7 and feels like your playing a action pack movie and mgs1 and littlery spending 40 mins of listening the codex cus it was so interesting was also a feeling sneaking around by enemies not even firing a shot yup
Born in 1997, but Experienced the PS2 and PSP is my golden Age of Gaming from the 2000s was outstanding.
Actually Experimentation was my favorite, because LocoRoco, Patapon and Katamari were innovative at the time.
Man those were the good ole days. Wish I could go back and experience the ps2, GameCube, and original Xbox days again.
From someone like me born in 1997 playing these games was amazing
the library of games for all of the 6th gen consoles seems almost endless, there are an abundance of obscure titles that I am finding even today, because devs were encouraged to take risks there’s always something new to try
Backwards compatibility was amazing in the 2000s. PS2 playing PS1 games and Wii playing GameCube games.
I think there's 2 huge reasons why we use to love games more. 1: because everything was new coming Into a 3d area. And 2. We didn't have influence by all these critics. We got what we got and loved the game for what it was ans not for what it wasn't. Social media is a blessing and a curse.
Early 2000’s era will forever be Unmatched
This whole video felt very nostalgic 🔥🔥🔥
That spoiler thing really bothers me. Some dumb RUclipsr thinks it's a great idea to post a plot twist in the title and in thumbnail.
Spyro VS Crash! Sony Mascot Showdown!
I miss being able to play a game right out the box.
Now you have to download it and even if you predownload it youre almost instantly given a Day 1 patch for all the things they didnt finish.
Also games would tell you what the storage needed was gonna be but now a 60gb game could turn into a 90gb game
I feel like that games in the 2000s like GTA3 and others set the standard for 3D gaming as it felt fresh and new. Nowadays you still get great games but mostly it's the graphics are improving but gameplay wise I feel your not getting anything that feels fresh or exciting like the games in the 2000s.
Maybe it's old age lol.

Gaming in 2000s was fun. No installs, games came complete and more interaction with people. Now it’s the complete opposite and it’s a shame.
Games on PS3 had installation
You shouldn't complain about installation when the Xbox 360 has noisy DVD drive, disc errors
@@Charles-hy6gp talking more about PS2 and Xbox era of gaming not ps3 or 360.
So many memories from that Era like jak and Daxter the precursor legacy max Payne the fall of max Payne tekken 5 , tekken tag tournament and defjam vendetta and defjam ffny gta series resident evil sly Cooper series midnight club dub edition etc the list goes on

This is an incredible and very important video by the way.
When MICROTRANSACTIONS DIDN"T EXIST.
Yeah
A watchmojo video with the MGS theme??? Perfection
Metal gear background music is a nice touch
Love the MGS3 music in the background!
Couch coop was my favorite
Ah my teenage years
I love open worlds, but every game doesn't need to be open world. Even semi open world is fine.
NES to PS2 era rocked big time.
I feel majority of these problems are cocky up tight contestant creators(not all of them) but like when they had people bully and threaten insomniac because they didn’t have certain suits in the game like the rami one which they were saving for a surprise and I miss all these things in video games that’s why I like Nintendo more they keep the couch play, playing with friends 😭and I miss new weird games and I hope they bring these back

Jak and dexter tri is honestly my best game
Honestly I miss getting together with friends, hook up two xboxes to two tvs, have snacks and just play bloodgulch all day, good times 😊
I still remember God Of War yes all in one no promises of "ooh you wanna upgrade you're weapons gotta pay" no you just farming red orbs and when you killed a boss you would get thousands of orbs time to upgrade!!
Medal of Honor Frontline was 🐐 it also has one of the best soundtracks of any video game.
Remember GameStop and the bins of used ps2 games, you’d just buy something random that looked good and it ended up being good
Sly Cooper is one of the best free roam stealth games. Man I miss the times.
I was expecting no 1 to be the one thing games lacked nowadays. But after watching it, I realized there are more aspects I didn't had in mind. Also you forgot dedicated portable consoles, not mobile gaming.
Other Topics which should'v been included are Console Bootups, Cheat codes, and Unlockables which were huge back in the golden era of gaming
Pretty good list. I miss good couch coop games, there really isn't much anymore. Curious if a list similar of the 2010-23 could be done, in which well eSports. Gotta be a huge positive with how much money it makes. Might be more negatives in that range tho like microtransactions hah.
A few things i didn't think I would miss are excessive tutorials and hand holding, like the game constantly pausing to tell you to "Press 'jump' to jump", "Press □ to do a quick attack, △to do a strong attack, press ○ to grab", "The enemy is stunned, press A to do a devastating attack for massive damage" and "You got some XP, use them to level up/upgrade your weapons".
But today, games like Elden Ring and Zelda don't tell you enough, and games don't have manuals anymore, often not even a digital one. They encourage you to figure out things by yourself, but I mostly end up imitating what streamers do and or look up guides online. Like how promotional videos for Breath of the Wild showed Link shield surfing, but I couldn't figure out how to do it so I had to look it up online. But if I didn't watch videos of shield surfing online, either from Nintendo or streamers, I wouldn't even have known that you could do it, along many other things.
In short, "figure it out by yourself" mostly means "do what everone else does".
I agree with all of these but you might want to turn the volume of the music down a bit because there were parts where it was really hard to hear over it.
project gotham racing 3 was my childhood with its high quality graphics and a badass soundtrack in 2009 on a house friend in chile❤❤❤❤
#1 original games and little to no remakes.
What I've learned in the last few years is that to a great number of people you could give them exactly what they want and they will find a way to complain nonetheless.
But at least they didn't had social media to harass everyone about it.
remember when you paid for a physical copy of a game and all you had to do was go home open the case and put it in the console and play it right away. no install time and the only space you needed was for your save file.
I like alot of video but have to say this is the best video you ever made. I agree with all your points and think that way too. Biggest problem today is lack of real innovation and competition. Just look at the sports game each of the major sports has one game by one company and thats it. Use to be games for gamers by gamers now its games for gamers by businesses trying to maximize profits and nothing else.
I was born in 89 and miss going to a pawnshop to get games. I was able to get a new n64 and PS2 with new games, but if I wanted more games it off to the pawnshop. Haha
Writing down cheats on a huge piece of paper, now those were good times
