I ain't see no Heroes of Might and Magic 3 or Red Alert 2.

What "slop"? Stop using "slop" for everything now. Fucking kid.
If these games were cars you could register them as classics in California. If you played any of them on release, you should probably stand up and stretch after you read this comment
Ow, my back and my feelings
It's fine. 40 is the new 30, 30 is the new 20, and this kind of youthful confusion about time and aging is exactly what I'd expect from a 10 year old, so it tracks.
Sorry but "slop" has been reserved for AI-relater insults only and I will not accept any dilution of that.
The friendslop genre would like a word.
My favorite definition was when it was used to describe cheap, mass produced clothes like your work clothes from around the 16th to 19th century, sailors would dress in their slop, etc.
This is so fucking stupid. If you substitute movies or books for the images it would just seem stupid.
It's weird video games get this strange space of "old".
Wtf?
Nice rage bait lol
Truly. My 7yo plays enough Earthbound to put the lie to this meme, the classics are evergreen.
This contextless superficial review of classics denies the groundbreaking gameplay, art styles, storytelling, and direction that these games contributed to the artistic medium that is video games.
Like saying that The Godfather sucks becuase it is derivative and stuck in the time that it was created.
Alright I'm done yelling at clouds.
Alright I'm done yelling at clouds.
Plural? I only see one.

I've yelled at Cloud far too much in my life. 😆
"All we had to do was follow the damn train Cloud!"
lmao this takes me back to the olden days of bait when you could just call something shit and people would argue.
YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS
I recently had a hankering to play Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. Because the game is so old and buggy, and because I'm running Linux, it took a lot of patching and tweaks to get running. Probably took around 4 hours, because you can't tell which random fix someone posted a decade ago will work until you try it. It was a very authentic experience of gaming in the early 2000s, and the struggle made playing the game all the more fun.
I recently played Half Life for the first time. It was fun! There is really no issue with old games, unless they had issues from the start, of course.
And now I finally get the "Blah blah blah Mr. Freeman" joke.

Are they just mad that the best year in gaming was 1998. Games back then can still be played today they don't need a always online servers that will get shutdown. Every multiplayer game came with a free dedicated server and you could vote kick the cheaters or just people being assholes. Mods were everywhere and encouraged by the devs not lawsuits. Most games didn't come with with a rootkit pretending to be DRM.
I would argue MOST games don’t have DRM rootkits today, just not the ones that spend more $$$ on marketing than development and writing.
I love my gramp games :(
Where do I even put the money to unlock everything?
gog.com probably has most of these
I think they were joking about microtransactions in games today.
I think it says a lot about the quality of these games that so many have remasters, remakes, or even an open source engine swap.
2004 was 10 years ago right? Please?
I wasnt even born in 2004 and I will technically be able to legally adopt children in a few months
- The 90s was about 10 years ago.
- 2005 was about 10 years ago.
- The 2010s was about 10 years ago.
I don't know why and I know it doesn't make sense, but apparently everything feels like it was about 10 years ago to my millennial brain.
Except 2020, that was like last year.
Except for 2020..the year that never was.never ended..feels like everything changed after 2020.
It kind of did. Shit started going to hell a lot earlier, but Covid (and the associated conspiracy theories etc. going mainstream) turbocharged it.
Both last year and lasted 50 years
Bad news, it's 2026. So 12 years ago.
Damn good times.
I miss LAN parties, everyone coming over lugging their desktops and CRT monitors, having an 8-port 10gps Ethernet hub (not switch), staying up late playing 4v4 StarCraft maps and Diablo 2 games at max capacity.
Good times.
I'm a pizza delivery driver and three weeks ago I delivered to a party of 11-13 year olds who had a bunch of monitors and consoles together in a living room having a Halo LAN party. In the year of our Lord 2026. I thought I'd stepped into the past
Did you at least stay for a round of CTF on Beaver Creek?
There is hope with the young 'uns
D2 listed as slop? SLOP!?!?!? Who created this horrible meme and where do they live? My baseball bat wants to have a few words with them.
I just played Fallout 1 and 2 for the first time. Though they've certainly aged poorly in a lot of ways, both were still fun plays, and worth the experience just to see where the franchise came from, ya know?
all these games came out past my prime video game years, i am great gramp gamer i guess
You fucking wish, these games have everything except graphics due to the time they were created and games made today have just graphics and nothing else that made 20-30 years old games amazing for a fraction of the size and a fraction of the cost.
