Skyrim is older now than Half Life 1 was when Skyrim first released.

Skyrim is older now than Tetris was when Half Life 1 first released.

I'm not old, you're old!

I'm playing Neverwinter Nights right now T_T

It's from 2011, of course it's old.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 34 points 3 days ago (1 children)

What the fuck? Yes. Yes we fucking are. MAKE ANOTHER ELDER SCROLLS GAME, YOU ASSBAGS!

It's gonna be shitty, expensive, AND buggy.

Look forward to the disappointment or just accept that late stage capitalism has ruined all of our lives and everything that we enjoyed, and it's only going to get worse.

[–] Aux@feddit.uk 4 points 2 days ago

That's how every TES game was: shitty, expensive and buggy. With zero bugs fixed after a decade since the release. Bethesda is extremely consistent, I'll give them that.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I’m glad no new Elder Scrolls game is coming out. With the enshittification of Bethesda, the announcement of TES6 coming out would just hype everyone only for it to be a buggy, microtransaction-filled trashcan. See Starfield.

I’m more hyped for Skyblivion than for TES6.

2011 was 14 years ago, the game is more than half my age x3

[–] brsrklf@jlai.lu 33 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Do you often formulate math problems spontaneously?

[–] deranger@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 days ago

Yeah otherwise that’s a 9 year old posting

If I had a dog that was born in 2011 I would call him old.

I personally think games age faster than dogs ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 44 points 3 days ago (2 children)

When I was really getting into PC gaming in 2003 a game from 14 years before would have been released in 1989. Yes, I'd say that was old!

[–] JackDark@lemmy.world 30 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't like how time works.

Yes but more that that, not just old games should be on GoG, all offline games should be on GoG.

[–] Benaaasaaas@group.lt 11 points 3 days ago (6 children)

Pretty much all DRM free games are on GoG no matter the age.

[–] cmhe@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

You are inverting the logic there, all games on GoG are DRM free, but not all DRM free games are on GoG.

Let's put it like this- Skyrim is as old now as Final Fantasy VII was when it came out. If you had asked me then if Final Fantasy VII was an old game when Skyrim came out, I'd have said yeah.

[–] Hafler@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago

It's impossible for it to be old. They keep releasing it, making it new every time. Just last week, they announced that it will be released on my toaster this summer.

[–] termaxima@jlai.lu 15 points 3 days ago

If they ship it without DRM, they could label literally anything an “Old Game” and that’d be fine by me.

[–] Elkot@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

It is an old game, technically it was an old game when it was released

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I'm looking forward to checking out the re-make that's about to drop of one of my old favorite games. Lunar: Silver Star Story. I still have my PS1 version.

The term "classic" would suit it better.

Old? It's still getting major releases! 😉
