Spyro VS Crash! Orange and Purple II!

@Leo-pd4fc Год назад

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. 🔥🔥

@jeuryrabassa4724 Год назад

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.

@zakirstocks9514 Год назад

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.

@EvanAdvent Год назад

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.

@Laz3rCat95 9 месяцев назад

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.

@STOPTHECLOWNS581 Год назад

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.

@MrSpecialone0848 Год назад

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!

@NinjaMario02 Год назад

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.

@matthewvorwald7169 Год назад

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.

@The810kid Год назад

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.

@tahjvarela1518 Год назад

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

@ArmaBiologica35 Год назад

Game design was just... Better in the 2000's. Unlike now when every game has to be an empty open world.

@cbgg1585 Год назад

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.

@vgbcp3rs0na41 Год назад

@ArmaBiologica35 Yeah. Shit.

@BigBoss15310 Год назад

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

@nichellejohnson7786 Месяц назад

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

@ARIXANDRE Год назад

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.

@DragonKazooie89 Год назад

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.

@Jaysin412 Год назад

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.

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.

@dontaewoods79 Год назад

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.

@chrissnells2562 Год назад

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 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.
