  • I felt the same way playing Red Dead Redemption 2 again recently. that game will be 7 years old this year and is still an absolutely stunning, beautiful experience. it is leagues ahead of many titles coming out now, and honestly feels timeless. I agree about the diminishing returns, buying a new game these days is a very hard sell, both because of the ballooning prices, and also because of how gracefully older titles have aged.

    I might be mistaken and I don’t have any handy examples to back this argument, but I feel like ten years ago, a six-year-old game would definitely feel much more dated than this does

    I recently dug an old Xbox out and played around with some of the games from that generation. they have aged like dried dogshit on a hot sidewalk. you are definitely not wrong on this point. that’s not to say I don’t still enjoy them, they’ve still got a particular charm to them, but aged finely they have not.
