In a way I guess id agree with that. I grew up in the 90s, saw some of the 80s, and had college in the early 00's.

It was a more basic time where you could get by without computers if that was really your thing (it seems the alternative was reading magazines, watching tv, playing consoles, and smoking cigarettes). Not that you could get by without Knowing How To Use computers in the late 90s, but you didnt technically need one or a cell phone either.

There's just a kinda feel that goes with that. Your home felt alot more private for example. And I would say that in terms of living a more basic life than usual im guilty of that because I just like that feel.

As far as games, I remember back in the day a game might be cool just because its got the features, people put shit in games just because of action movies being awesome - Doom got a rotary chaingun because of Predator, Terminator 2, and the funky bolt shooter guns used in the movie Cyborg. Its what the market demanded.

But there were also Damn Good games that maintained replayability, for the features at the time, the things stuffed into them, and just how fun they were to play.

As a 30yo Boomer that magic spell wore off on me all the way back around 2005 because of Resident Evil 4, FEAR, and UT2004 (actually im guilty of buying Unreal Tournament 2003 at the actual store, without knowing that a 2K4 was on the way, it was about the same just no vehicle shit). And the reason was because no matter how much better they made the visuals they were already about as good as I gave a shit for.

Its a game, its a game, the less it looks like a GAME the less of a comfy feeling ive got about it. I do appreciate some of the newer common features (ahem, or really just being able to apply 4x Antialiasing on older games without a performance hit).

I probably speak for alot of 30yo Boomers in that regard. Its pretty much just a Cultural thing. New game culture is even more artificial than the old.

I treat berserk packs as if they're +100 medikits that just happen to give me a strong punch. After that I might consider pulling out fists but usually id rather dance around with the SSG.
> its worth it to hit pinkies though, I prefer berserk to chainsaw

>To be honest/fair to the guy, the pinky's model is actually spot-on. It almost looks exactly like the original sprite.
Yeah, it's better than it used to be.
