man sometimes i think, what if gaming just stayed like in the 90s with pixel graphics and chiptunes y'know? no loot boxes or dlc, just full games with your console. no online stuff just couch co-ops and splitscreen. might have been simpler times fr 😅

Imagine no Undertale or Shovel Knight, though. We got pixel graphics and evolution. Music's evolved too, but those old-school bleeps and bloops had their own kinda soul. I'm torn; there's beauty in simplicity, but advancement ain't all bad.

The 90s were definitely simpler, and there’s a lot to be said for getting a full game without having to worry about shelling out more cash for loot boxes, skins, or ending DLC. It's like, you paid once and you got the whole pizza, not just a slice with the option to buy more toppings later.

Interesting idea but, don't you think we might be viewing the 90s through rose-tinted glasses? I mean sure, games today have their problems, but the tech improvements are insane. VR, online multiplayer, open worlds – we'd miss out on so much innovation. Plus, indie games are keeping the retro spirit alive while still pushing boundaries.

I feel ya, nostalgia for the 90s games is real. I miss the days when beating a game gave you a sense of accomplishment, not just an urge to buy DLC to get the 'full experience'. There's something more wholesome about the games from that era. However, think we'd miss out on some amazing storytelling that games like The Witcher 3 have brought to the table.
