[Do you play old video games?]

I don't play old games too often, but I can be caught from time to time playing Halo 3 or even red Dead Redemption. What are your favorite old games that you are still playing till date?

Star Wars Battlefront 2 (the old Pandemic game, not the EA remake), Samurai Shodown 3, Metal Slug 2, Golden Sun 2, Zelda: ALTTP, Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, to name just a few. I also plan to start another Fallout: New Vegas playthrough in the near future.

[What are some older games that still don’t feel dated to you?]

Any of the Samurai Shodown or Metal Slug games made for the Neo Geo. It blows my mind how most of today's 2D games still don't look as good as those classics.

Anybody who has Haohmaru as avatar that i can only applaud and hereby i'll make a bow and say welcome.

Any reason why you gave up on collecting and just wondering what consoles your collected for?

Thanks. I stopped collecting because I already have too many consoles hooked up to my TV and electrical outlets, it's getting to be a problem whenever I get a new console. Also because after having video games as my main hobby for decades, I honestly got tired of them and wanted to try other hobbies. As for what consoles I collected for: My PS4 collection was definitely my largest at 80+ games, but I also collected for just about every major system from gen 4 through gen 7, whether it was original hardware or microconsoles.

[If you were offered $1 million to never play your favorite game again?]

Yeah, I'd take that offer. $1M just to stop playing Fallout: New Vegas is a no-brainer, regardless of how great the game is. There's plenty of other games to play. I'd just put the million in my savings and collect the interest.

[Do you play old video games?]

Old games make up the majority of what i play now. I love how in games from gen 7 and earlier you could have a blast playing them for short time spans like 30 minutes to an hour and then put them down. In today's games it takes 30 minutes just to run to the next quest marker.

[Which is better between the Xbox and the PlayStation console]

The Series X and PS5 are nearly identical. They both have nearly identical AMD chipsets running the exact same programming language and system architecture. The only real difference comes down to what features the manufacturers deliberately chose to lock out or include. Not exactly inspirational. Personally I won't be getting either because I just don't see any value in them beyond the improved load times.

[What if Red Dead Redemption 3 Happened?]

They'd have to make some pretty major changes to the gameplay to get me interested in RDR3, namely implementing a free fast travel system right from the start and changing the ultra-realistic animations to something more responsive so it doesn't feel like I'm wrestling with the MC instead of controlling him. I loved the first RDR and forced myself to finish the second one for the story. They tarnished RDR2's playability by trying to make everything too realistsic. Realism should always take a backseat to convenience in a video game.

[what's your favorite game on nintendo switch?]

Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Not only my favorite game on the Switch, but my favorite Pokemon game of all time, and it even made it into my top 10 video games of all time.

[If you could go back in time and give your child self one video game available today …]

^ It's definitely in the top 5 LoZ games of all time, in my opinion. I think it's far superior to BOTW, but then again I'm in the minority who didn't like BOTW.

[If you could go back in time and give your child self one video game available today …]

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. I really regret not having played that game earlier in my life.

[Hello]

I'm a former video game collector. I mostly got out of contemporary gaming at the end of the 8th console gen to focus on other hobbies, and because I'm opposed to the direction contemporary game development is going in. I came here because I got tired of not having a place to discuss things like this.
