Well, old games don't need constant or any initial online connection that requires crapload of authentication stuffs and useless clients.
New games = (all of below) 1: Extremely dramatic storyline 2: Too much Hollywood actions 3: Too much 1990s era kids whining about cheaters while they suck 4: Too much hype 5: Too much hype 6: Over-hyped 7: Under performing (unable to deliver promise, read #4~6) **end of line** Seriously, I'm collecting or hunting a large list of old games now, esp the retail versions. Plus, I'm abit too old for the new games nowadays. |

Retail version can run on modern PC? Or you just want to collect them for collection purpose? If you don't mind DD with no DRM, then this place is for you to start your hunting: http://www.gog.com/ http://www.dotemu.com/en All of the games there has been configured to run with modern PC, but still some of them need a little bit tweaking on your own; especially with games emulated by dosBox. And also there's some games that can't run with Windows 7 (but very little). So if you want to make any purchase, make sure you check the system requirements and if you can spare little time, do check out the specific thread for the game that interest you at their forum so you can take note of what possible problem that you might encounter. This is the disadvantage of old game, sometime it doesn't run properly on modern system but i can tolerate that |

Not much of a problem with fixes by made by gaming communities. Most new games gives me headache, before gameplay, during gameplay and after gameplay. |

I understand that, newer games nowadays tend to be so buggy during the initial release. Most recent example is Sword of the Stars 2, turn out they're forced to lied to their customer since they don't have enough fund. So, what their customers got right now are beta release of the game. Good thing is the developer promised to deliver small patch frequently, and the game is expected to be fully functioned on next year January or something. But the fact remain that they lied to their customer. By the way, don't you think your rig is too overpowered to run old games? |

old games used to be creative and not so much about money anyways.
In today's world it's all about budget and time, that's why there's so much crappy games today. because of money, developer's don't have the time to polish and make good games. ( excludes big players such as blizzard MDK and dungeon keeper will always be on top of my old games list, they were perfectly done and was ground breaking at that time. mdk took like 4-7 years ? to develop with just 2 guys workin on it, developer + music composer. |

QUOTE(Angel of Deth @ Nov 7 2011, 05:58 PM) True about that, well we can't have the "past" in the future anymore. Back then DLC was actually "Add On Pack", no extra costs. Nowadays DLC instantly means the partial 10~30% of the supposed full version they just trimmed out for future extra sales. Plus with such crowded video game industry, everyone is rushing their games out of the workshop. Also, casual is the 99% majority these days,so forget about seeing much innovative games that stresses all gameplay mechanics, graphics, interfaces, controls, and playability at once.Which is why, I've been skipping lots of big or medium titles, never even bothered on buying and playing them, just watch the gameplay videos and trailers and considered done playing lol. |

I do the same. Watching some playthrough and that's it. The sequels for AAA title also coming out so soon, until the point that you feel like playing the same thing only with different landscape and level design. Good thing is indie game today are much more innovative and interesting than these AAA titles. But the trend of milking money with all these DLC still exist even on the indies; which is slightly disappoint me. The only FPS that i'm anticipating right now are Arma 3 and Duke Nukem 3D Reloaded, hopefully they will not be a disappointment. |

QUOTE(Angel of Deth @ Oct 18 2011, 05:38 AM) During the good ole' days, i remember Ubisoft released free DLC for POD. The game originally came with 8 cars and 16 tracks from the OEM version, but later you can updated it to version 2.0 / Gold which added another 15 vehicles and 19 tracks. And also Ubisoft released free vehicles and tracks at their website, so total of official tracks for the game was 35 and 44 for vehicles. That was huge number for a racing game even in today standard. That was still not included others unofficial and fan made car and track. All of 'em for free. wah that 3dfx MMX game, one of my favs from the 90s This game for me deserve a HD remake but knowing how video game industry work this day, i expect there will be very limited amount of vehicles and tracks for retail product and those additional stuff / DLC will be released in several package with each one cost at least $10... and also with all those DRM. i doubt Ubisoft would remaster a 20 year old game, even if they have the source =/ but it's cool that others like Rollcage have new remakes inspired by them like GRIP. or racing ghosts uploaded on the internet in Distance. i guess we all have the MMX OEM bundle version. i wonder if anyone would've bought the original version with big box. if so i would love to buy it from you if you still can find it lol. sorry for the ancient necro lol.

wah. necro thread...
anyway.. QUOTE(y3ivan @ Oct 18 2011, 02:53 AM) mechwarrior became a freeware. they stopped releasing MW games because of stupid legal issues. kena sue by the so called owners of the anime licence.by the way, Fasa studios has merge to a bigger team under microsoft game studio. legal issues. meh. On September 3, 2009, shortly after posting preview videos and images of the game, IGN was issued a cease and desist order by Harmony Gold USA (owners of the Robotech franchise), citing copyright infringement. This was over the use of several BattleMech designs allegedly based on mecha designs derived from the Macross series. Specifically, the trailer for MechWarrior featured the Warhammer, which is similar in design to the Destroid Tomahawk from the Macross and Robotech Series. |
