Ahh, the days before games companies hired the casino slot machine UX designers. An elegant game from a more civilised age.
Boomers my ass. This is Gen X gaming.
Millennials as well. I get bored with modern games. Grinding all day for a pink weapon skin. Tf, I don’t care what color are my skins. Give me a good old challenge
We had mods. They’re a bit like skins and new content, only free and far more creative. They are what you call microtransactions today but you didn’t have to sell your right arm to get them because anyone could make them.
Mods are literally the reason why doom II, skyrim, fallout new vegas and assaultcube are still my most played games, I’m both genuinely surprised and scared at what people can come up with.
CS mods
Yo dawg, we heard you like mods…
downloading 1/300 double-kill.mp3…
Quake sounds was a must have for pubs.
Trollbait, it has to be. “no brand tie ins” is genuinely hilarious to me. I’m picturing a videogame reviewer going like: “The game is an artistic and a technical milestone. The gameplay is also the smoothest we’ve seen so far. Unfortunately, the game does not feature a Ronald McDonald skin or even a Slurpee coupon, so we have to give it a 7/10”.
By…not playing it? No boomers were playing Counterstrike back in the day, lol wtaf?
ok boomer go play your wow classic that you all love so much /s
Someone please tell me that “no brand tie-ins” gives this away as a joke, and I just didn’t get the joke. That can’t be something people actually want, right?
It’s not a joke. But it’s not sincere either.
It’s a criticism.
Because yes. People DO want brand tie-ins. Literally look at Fortnite. It peaks in popularity during brand tie-ins.
man I was jecking out the toy island recently and i saw a carrera oracle redbull race track right next to one with “non-lego” lego brick buildable cars and the mario kart themed one.
I tell you: one day these crossovers and brand tie ins and market consolidation will lead us to the ultimate mono brand multiverse -> Think of Mario Raving Rabbits in Avenger costumes lego figures as playable characters in fortnite

It was pure gaming.
No advertisments, no marketing, no extra costs.
The only way to get better was to play more.
How can it not be fun?
Good ol’ days, thank you VALVE.
