      And no installations. It was awesome just popping in the disc and playing the game right away. Now you gotta wait 2+ hours for installation after inserting the disc

      Right? And who needs one of those fancy warshing machines, while we’re at it!

    3. Yep, if the game shipped broken well, you dealt with it!

      No DLC? Guess you’re buying Street Fighter 2 champion edition at full retail. And Turbo! And etc!

      😉

    4. Sure, oh wait why was there a hard drive attachment and final fantasy 11 with a 25 hour first update.

    5. I sure as shit dont remember when there was no patches or dlc because that was never a time. Patches were sold to you in the form of cartridge / disc revisions.

      Dlc was sold to you as a whole new game. Looking at you street fighter and mortal komba among others.

      Yeah I remember. It was simpler. But so were the games, and we didn’t get cool extra content we may have wished for, or trophies to add that extra fun challenge, or the ability to play with people clear across the world, or being able to pop into an online store and discover games we never heard of from a library of thousands, and on sale. I hate the subscription angle of it all, but I’ve been in both eras and overall we have it much better now.
