3 답변Hell yea man! Unless you played it at a friend's house, cover art and backing were THE hook on checking out a game. Great times and some amazing games back then! Remember blowing on the back of NES CARTRIDGES trying to get the things to read? Lol

10 답변I miss when people could enjoy a game without critiquing it like they have some sort of checklist. Games used to just be...well...fun. Now people can only enjoy a game of it runs at a certain frame rate, has a certain number of pixels, or is "innovative." (a word many people throw around like it's the holy grail.) Now people try to make me feel guilty for enjoying the games I do.

1 답변I remember buying gaming magazines c.98 solely for the demos and cheat codes. The demos used to be so good that I rarely had to buy games

3 답변That was horrible and fun Buying a game you know nothing about and it might suck or be good

4 답변I remember buying an N64 game where you shot alien bugs because the cover was cool and god was it horrible. Overall, I think how they do it now is better. Though on the other hand, I'm also a far more intelligent consumer than I was when I was 12.

1 답변I think Fallout 4's approach was fine. Bethesda had hidden Fallout 4 for almost 4 years. They announced just a couple of months ago they announced the game and they said it comes out this year.
