I used to be a passionate gamer, and I often find myself nostalgic for the golden era of video games when there were new ideas popping left and right.
Now, it feels like we’re caught between long-delayed triple-A titles and a constant stream of indie platformers. Originality seems to have taken a backseat, with many games regurgitating the same concepts.
What do you think defined the golden era of gaming? Are we currently in a rut, or is there a chance for fresh ideas to emerge again?
Whenever you were 10-14
This is the answer. Experience is subjective and what feels best to people is going to be heavily biased by where they were in their lives at the time.
“What was the best era to be aged 10-14 and into video games?” is a subtly different question.
