Why You Should Play OLD GAMES

Recently, I’ve played a number of old games from the early 2000s, and for better and worse it has been quite a memorable experience. As more and more of them start to disappear, I wanted to make this video to show some people why many of them are still worth playing today.
I apologize for another late video; I underestimated my workload in the current semester, so a new video every two weeks was too ambitious. It will likely be every three weeks instead, maybe even just monthly.

@winlover37 20 дней назад

@@ad_stayfly7 It really depends on what you want to play and what display you have. I have a 1080p display so I opted for an RTX 3060 (A popular 1080P card) and it suits me very well. Plays everything up to the 8th gen maxed at 100+ FPS, current gen games less so but still 60 FPS at the very least and completely playable. If you really wanted to narrow things down, consider the latest/newest game you would want to play, check the recommended system requirements and go from there.

@Dwesk 19 дней назад

Everything released on PS4 is new in my book, but for the sake of argument I'd say anything that's older than roughly a decade is "old", otherwise - nah. The generational divide between PS2 and PS3 vs PS4 and PS5 is incomparable and I feel like there's barely any difference between playing a game from a year ago vs playing a game from 2014-2015 like TW3. Like RDR2 came out 6 years ago and it's still by far the most immersive open world still. I feel the same way with movies too, there's people who think a movie from before covid is deemed "old" which is wild to me considering since avengers became the most profitable shit and covid slowed everything down we had an absurdly low amount of top tier film in the last four or so years.

These games are still kinda newish. Pre-3D had a lot of interesting concepts and punching weight above their capacity, which made for some impressive experiences back when we didn't take graphics for granted and games were also allowed to be more than what they look.

@schafsinn 20 дней назад

Yeah, I do see the argument that these aren't all that old. This is just my subjective perception of course, not being that old myself and not having played anything that came out before 1998. Do you have any particular games in mind from the "pre-3D" era?

@CrazyArcadia 19 дней назад

I agree, playing both old and new games makes one appreciate certain genres and series even more. And sometimes, it is also quite refreshing and rewarding to replay old games and see how your own perspective changed. I'm a bit older now so I of course also include games from the 80s as much as games from the 2010s. I've only recently discovered new favorites on my childhood system - 1989s Faxanadu on the NES -, got into late 2009s Uncharted 2 for the first time in 2022, currently playing Mario & Luigi Dream Team Bros from 2013 which I just bought last week, modded an OG Xbox to revisit early 2000s western gaming... all while also still being excited about new releases and also enjoying all those Indies which take direct inspiration from older eras and currently, lots of PS1/N64 throwbacka.

@Dwesk 19 дней назад

I fucking love randomly picking up a ps2/ps3 era AA/AAA japanese game on a whim and playing through it at least a couple times a year. There's always some jank, outdated graphics, bizarre decisions but they're often such unique and memorable experiences both as far as gameplay system and storytelling choices go. Like recently played through Resonance of Fate and it's some of the most fun with a JRPG I've had in years. Not only is the combat and weapon customization one of a kind but the storytelling is often hilarious with one of the characters being Nolan North's incredible performance.

@TedWilder 20 дней назад

The whole point of me starting this alternate account was to keep up with console modding so i could play all the classics that i missed.

I remember playing Prince of Persia Sands of Time on Xbox in high school. It was incredible. Playing MGS on PS1 in middle school was life-changing and made me understand what games were going to be in the future. Also, it was a time when I was becoming conscious of world affairs so the themes were fitting. Shinobi on PS2 is another game you should check out. Extremely smooth game play with rhythmic action. I started playing the first Dark Souls a few weeks ago and I'm loving it so far. I finally finished Mass Effect in 2020 since I never completed it on PS3 many years ago. I recently got the Legendary Edition for Series X and I'm looking forward to playing ME2 and ME3. Thanks for the video.

There is one game I know of that has never been remade: The New Tetris (AKA Square Tetris) from N64. That was the first video game that I played thanks to a friend, and I got that system strictly for that game. As far as I know, Square Tetris has been on a few other collection versions, but only playable for a limited time like three minutes.
