all these games, to my perception, are made for 5 year olds.
i do not get the appeal.
a racing game where the outcome is determined by rng?
you were winning, but before a finish line, somebody uses an item and suddenly they win u lose?
smd?

Sorry but i will have to agree with what friezacel said
8 > 7
Anything else is just boomer cope

8 tracks were too wide and lacked decent obstacles. Every 8 track feels like a theme park ride where nothing you do matters. 7 was the last classical Mario Kart game where tracks were designed to challenge the players reflexes and skills.
7 had a better single player than 8. 8 is too easy. 7 had a better online than 8 since you could actually select tracks and the quality of the tracks was better. The only thing 8 improved upon was graphics which was a given considering the capabilities of the Wii U compared to the 3ds.
Old Mario Kart has fun tracks. It's mainly a game you play for local multiplayer
Good point, but eight *is* greater than seven
Therefore, 8 > 7
What does rng mean. If it means what I think it does, than you are right.
At least the xbox one controls for RE2 R were on point from the get go. No need for tinkering.
Not so in RE3 R. Those were ass.
The PS1 atmosphere is insane
Modern games are made without passion.
Idk if im just old but I prefer old game graphics despite them being low poly and having less sophisticated in-game rendering. I think they put a lot more effort into textures to compensate back then, and this gives old games this almost painting like feeling, its art. I just dont get this anymore.
Look at the tutorial level from unreal tournament 99. This is the first map the player experiences in the game:
Modern games are very eeeh idk, too soft, everything is weirdly soft and rounded or blurred. Too many details, no focus, nothing draws the eyes. They just went well we can put more shit in so lets do it, more = better. I also feel that back then they compensated for graphics with sound design and music kinda which we dont have anymore. Yes the audio quality is better now no shit, but everything is just generic as fuck. Also the map designs are just trash.

For reference I was not around when this shit came out, I discovered it in my teens because shit laptop could only play games from 10-20 years ago, so there is no nostalgia bias there. I watched people at the time play modern games, like call of duty black ops, battlefield 3 and 4 and so on. They just didnt seem like fun at all, they are only hyper competitive and built around normie psychology of constantly competing and going monkey mode on each other. I always liked to explore in games and just look at shit or indulge in the atmosphere. There is not a single call of duty map where I would just join an empty server to explore the map or listen to the music. Compare that to the music and maps shown below from unreal tournament, a 26 year old game. I would just swim around outside the base on the underwater base or walk around the map and look at space or the stars. The fact alone that people still upload compilations of the music is proof that this was something else.

AS-OceanFloor
AS-OceanFloor is an Assault map from Unreal Tournament. A battle taking place at the deepest of a sea. The attackers start in a Submarine, where they can collect SCUBA Gears in order to be able to breath underwater enough in order to reach the substation. The substation is divided into five...
I think its mostly because games went from being escapism for social rejects to being popular past times for normies to play with friends, like the superbowl. They are meant to be seasonal events you get in and out of in 2 weeks. We dont get legendary games anymore now that people still go back to 20 years later. For example a few years ago, we had this phase of hyped up survival games like subnautica. Who fucking cares about any of that shit now, its just gone. But people still make deus ex memes even though its from 2000.

yeah video games and movies being too cartoony and being afraid to take themselves seriously and instead they bury themselves in layers of irony is annoying
soulless = low contrast + soy gas
same, to me both look equally soulless commercialized slop for five year olds
once again the lofty discussion about the jewish ploy to control the world through media was totally redundant and detracted from otherwise excellently articulated points. And the critique towards muh colonial practices of "the west" towards poor authentic and unique non-western games and game devs was double cringe.

It's crazy how the remake has so much less detail and care put into it.

True. Most multiplayer games are shat out with the intentions of locking content behind a season pass or shitting out another game. Games also used to look better imo because graphics were more limited so you had to put in more effort to stand out.
The fog is terrible.
Yeah, in some locations it almost looks like one of those shitty UE5 fan remakes.
It’s not all rng. Like all these party games
Idk much about 8, but 8 deluxe is seen as peak balance of skill and rng racing, as well as huge track selection
8 deluxe is not well balanced.
There is a mystique, awe, and for me personally, a sense of longing for something spritually rich in beautiful that seems lost (in comparison to how things feel nowadays) when I look at old media (2000 and 2010s specifically).
Both look good to me
