MODERATORS
Mine is interest in retro gaming which oh boy, there's a lot:
Bonus points if that person happens to be Gen-Z and comments selection bitching about Gen-Z. I hate the weird elitism retro-gaming community have which as a Zoomer, it does put me off wanting to play older games if I be judge for being too stupid to not get it straight away.
Ah, you're my people and yeah, I find it can be too toxic in some communities. Some games age like wine, others age like milk, and even more were just... rotten to begin with, haha. People often have a hard time differentiating between nostalgia and objectively good (and bad) game experiences. I got a set of every game ever released up until PS2 and yikes, there's a lot of garbage.
And people who want to make this a collection thing can fuck all the way off - I saw a Chrono Trigger cartridge priced at $350 in a local store, which itself was a kinda common game. If collecting is your thing, fine, but not all of us have the means (or desire lol) to invest in that, just like people who collect old figures.
This! Reminds me when I was playing OG Tomb Raider and the second game and while I love them, I be lying if I say that it doesn't feel dated. The combat is my major pet-preeve of the game where I would rather cheese the combat selection as the guns doesn't feel much special, the AI doesn't feel either fair and it didn't felt it took in mind of both Player's tank control and also the automatic camera which is horrible. As soon as you fighting the Mummy in TR1, expect your camera jumping all over the place.
Reminds me when I was at CeX, seeing Slient Hill around £100 which upset me as I want to both try to it and also, I just love just owning a game and looking at it. Speaking of that, I need to boot up Duckstation and play Slient Hill as I played Resident Evil REmake on the Gamecube and I do want to try play more survival horror game
