@gamingonlinux Rubbish! I was playing only the other week! Literally as I do at least one run a year 😋 @gamingonlinux You can't be hitting me with shit like this first thing in the morning. Gotta give that caffeine a chance to settle in first. @gamingonlinux you are lying. No, you must be lying. It can't be that old. It just can't 😳 Welp Retro as a label for games is long overdue for either some greater granularity. Roughly speaking: Arguably they're all retro space shooters. Which at that point is just a statement about the label "retro" rather than about the videogames themselves. @gamingonlinux: I've never liked the "it's [X] years old, ergo it is automatically retro" delineation. Port to the original Xbox aside, it feels like a game contemporary to the PS3 and Xbox 360 and I'll argue vehemently that neither is retro as long as games still resemble Demon's Souls or GTA V or The Last of Us. @gamingonlinux That means The Legend of Zelda Windwaker is a retro game and I refuse to accept that. |
@gamingonlinux And I just started playing it on the steam deck...
