    Ahh that sweet sweet dopamine. If you don’t have any handy, gamebought is fine.

    Imagine how much cooler you’d be if the game were newer.

      Nah. Older games are often less fancy, so gameplay and execution need to carry. Time culls the mediocre, leaving only the memorable behind.

    My top two games played this year are over 10 years old each.

    My 3rd most played is Baldur’s Gate 3, weighing in at 250 hours, so I’ve got that going for me.

      I’m still not sure how much I like BG3, but I have sunk 90h into it at this point, so it can’t be that bad.

      My game of the year for 2023 was probably the Q2 remaster, overall.

      Mine were 7 and 14, respectively, and then I had Diablo 4, so I understand.

    Does dwarf fortress count as a modern game or a 20 year old game?

      I guess you could technically play one of the older versions

      Both and a game 20 years from the future when Toady finally finishes it.

      Similarly, I play a game called Clan Lord that came out in the 90s, but still gets updated regularly.

    I would say this is all about Skyrim, but I do think that game still is very popular today

    *while ignoring any real-life counterpart of any of those. (except goals, kinda, since your goal at the moment is doing those things in that game).

      The real-life mission system is totally broken. I’ve accomplished tons of goals and the rewards usually don’t even trigger, at all.

        Plus the classes are ridiculously unbalanced! “Billionaire” and “loud religious idiot” need to be nerfed yesterday! Don’t even get me started on how game breaking playing a hybrid of those is!

          Billionaire ain’t a class, it’s just an unpatched exploit. It’s really easy to pull if you already have at least some millions lying around.

    I’m not interested unless I see “First transmitted via telegraph by the US Government, 1883.” in the about section of the game store.
