If only there were vehicles to drive on planet, but bethesta loves creating problems for themselves that can be fixed in DLCs. I hope this time they overdid and the automatons aka fans will bite them in ass.

I imagine adding vehicles in their dogshit ancient engine, was deemed too much work to be worth it

How would this help? Driving to fucking nothing would be as boring as walking to fucking nothing.
It would at least mitigate some problem, we were not talking about the game being bad on fundamental level[which is true], just that there are some easy fixes to make it at least less insufferable.

Yes and no. It would make it less annoying to go to the places. But being able to visit them would reveal the problem even harder. Visiting 3 places that suck is different to 10 places that suck. The disappointment would be constant with less hope in between.

I mean it's possible he got in on the tail end of decent console games and the golden age of handheld gaming. But yeah pc gaming was going to shit as everything released on pcs suddenly had to work on xboxs, ps2s, and gamecubes.

I'm just tired of people tagging me I have no dog in this fight anymore so I said what was on my mind and deleted it so I wouldn't have to do what I'm doing now.
that was a joke, I know it's hard for autists to discern these things.

since he edited his post, I got into gaming in the 90s, I grew up with a black and green gameboy, then got my PS1 and only in 2002 a computer. So I got into PC gaming in 2002 and loved Cossacks, Warcraft 3, Rise of Nations, etc. I actually didn't get into RPGs until later in life, most of my time from ~2006-2010 was spent playing WoW, so didn't have much time for other games, or anything else really lol. Since 2010 I expanded playing more and more genres but my favorite games still remain from that nostalgic era of late 90s and early 2000s. But I also realize that it's mostly nostalgia and personal preference, good games are released every year so I don't agree with your and Ash's stance that games have been better back then. They are better now due to the drop of technological constraints and much more talent working in the industry, BG3 is objectively a better game than BG1 but fuck me if I'm gonna play that shit. BG1/2 are better than anything Larian produced for me personally.

dude you are a AAA player I see you all the time talking in MMO and bethesda threads. These games are financial products that are designed to make money for the people involved. They can HIRE talent but they won't have the creative freedom to make the things they really want.
The talent today is in indie and smaller studios. Even single devs have created amazing games because of patreon, donations etc. which allows them to work full time on their project for many years.

RPGs are for losers with no skill, RTS was my jam back then.

what this retard does not understand is that TECHNOLOGICAL CONSTRAINTS actually served a purpose in the 90s
devs were focused on gameplay and design, instead of presentation and tech
Vic

Technologcal constraints forced developers to sacrifice on their vision and cut corners, to hack around to squeeze in what they wanted to put in within the limitations of the hardware. The creativity was in the application, but much of what they could've put in was far beyond of what they could achieve with tricks and hacks. We can see today the incredible depth of innovative games made by talented devs and we are still hitting hardware and programming limits.

It is objectively better for the simple reason than turn based is superior to rtwp. Not to mention the myriad of other things that modern technology, time, budget and their development process allowed to do.
For me personally? Not even gonna finish it.

you should play some actually good modern games and then you'll see. You are ignorant towards modern achievements in gaming, it makes you seem like a hipster at best or an idiot at worst. And no, I don't mean Starfield.

Development in general was more involved in the past, so if you think that early 3D or 2D games didn't require a ton of work to to design and program the graphics, and because of that they could just whip up some graphics and focus on the gameplay, that's just plain wrong.
Modern devs have also better tools for graphic design, which compensates a little for graphical requirements of games today and streamlines the process.
