Because back in those years, those game would've been tech demos for that time, but tried and true for this day and age.
Same would then go for games of this day and age being tried and true in 203x
I agree though, I enjoy older games more than the newer with an exception every now and then.
Yeah, there were definitely games that felt more like tech demos back then.. Rise of the Robots comes to mind.. but oddly enough I still liked playing it. Maybe I'm just jaded after 40+ years of gaming.

Chrono Cross is better than Chrono Trigger

in prettymuch every way, was a killer game in it's own right even without knowing the events or story from Chrono Trigger, and even has Chrono Trigger character cameos and a tiny bit of lore. And it's a VERY long RPG for only being two discs long. (Most of the game is on Disc 1) It's rare to find a Cross fan that liked it more that Trigger, but HERE I AM.

And since this is an open platform, feel free to roast my ass for this heresy. :D

WoW Classic just a shameless cash grab to predate on nostalgia. WotLK is WoW's peak and it's been downhill ever since.

Do you mean homebrew life or Nintendo-licensed life?
Nintendo licensed! It really seems like they're shutting and phasing the 3DS out to make way for the Switch, which is okay as a marketing tactic, but there sure were a lot of cool games for it, for those who didn't take it for granted as a kids' system...

I mean sure, it has some life left in it in terms of entertainment value.

I really would like to own one. They are too expensive, though.

It has 0 life left in it in terms of Nintendo pushing it to consumers and good quality licensed games being published for it.

Zun doesn't know what he is doing anymore and each next touhou game is worst than the previous one.
Mostly in the technical side (bullet color/visibility, mechanics and game balance) but the last games stories are very hit and miss (15 story is the stupidest to date and 16 introduces a yukari clone because reasons).

There's hope for a Xenosaga port.

An intel atom z8350 with 2gb of ram and windows 10 is perfect for gaming...
And I'm dead serious.

Except that Windows 10 itself hogs 1.5GB of that 2GB RAM, and also takes 15GB of the 32GB storage on those devices. Wait till you update Windows 10 to one of the new releases, you will need double the storage.

Yes of course. I've purchased a decently fast class 10 64gb sd card (big enough for games, that's all it's for), but also I failed to mention I am only playing old games like Jedi Outcast, Battlefield 2 and Halo CE.

But it's also good enough for some games like Nexuiz, and Cube 2: Sauerbraten, which is also why I like it.

See? It's an unpopular gaming opinion :3
