Does anyone miss buying a game when,...
There were no mass marketing campaigns,
No trailers
Preorders
footage two years before release
And when you had to get a game based on the name, cover, and stills on the back?

While I do miss going to the store on a Tuesday and wondering to see what new games happen to have come out. There are still a few small titles that get pushed out without much announcement that can be pretty good finds. Plus the way games are today are good too. I don't want the old days to come back.

Halo 2 was the first game I bought the day of release. Everything else was either borrowed from friends or bought from the bargain bin at Sam's Club. Good times.

1 OdpowiedźEdytowany przez użytkownika Tent: 5/5/2015 2:54:10 PMThat actually still happens with me. Other than the trailers, the recent games I get don't have the budget for mass marketing. This mostly applies to niche Japanese games though.

I liked paper manuals you could refer to for the controls when playing more complex games
-
Ohh soooooooo much because back then you knew you were getting a working game & more importantly twats couldn't nerf it!

Edytowany przez użytkownika DjNormal: 5/5/2015 4:28:56 PMI read gaming magazines back in the mid '80s. Before that there were newsletters and catalogs. So I've always seen the hype. I mean, it was a different hype, but it was still there. I used to rent before I bought though, since so many games were dreadfully bad. Even the ones that got good reviews. Things really haven't changed. Edit: There was pre-ordering back in the '80s too, though it was usually more of a reserve type thing. Assuming a retailer actually got the number of copies they expected. If everyone was sold out, you could always check Sears and Montgomery Wards, it's like people didn't realize they carried video games.
