Grinding through Final Fantasy 8 right now. Don’t remember it except the music video (“Eyes on You”). I’ve nearly deleted it several times because it’s such a pain. There’s a lot of missable content and a ridiculous card minigame. Child me would be all autistic over it; adult me needs a drink.
Depends. I know people hate on Diablo 2 for the controls and whatnot, but it has made me very resilient to other older games I didn’t play that have similar control schemes and it let’s me enjoy them.
Is it nostalgia if I never played the game itself?
It can be, but I suppose I am a bit of a masochist, since I genuinely enjoy playing soulslikes (which I started with Dark Souls 1 and worked my way to Elden Ring)
I honestly LOVE when old games are rough though. Its a big thing I don’t like about new games honestly… Its just up and up and up and up… But a lot of my favorite memories are from the "down"s.
Head over to the Dwarf Fortress page for “fun” - guess where it redirects?
Tap for spoiler
The page for losing.
Also look into the concept of “2nd Fun” - its neglected in so many modern games in general…
Playing old games without nostalgia glasses can be very rough a lot of times

But EVEN THE… Actually wait, maybe you’re right.
