As I get older, I don't mind longer games, but they need to be structured so I can have short play sessions that fit my free time. If it takes several minutes to load the game, and I'm stuck watching cut scenes every few minutes, I'm going to give up, because I don't get much time actually playing the game. The same goes for games that have endless tutorials at the start.

Yeah, I hate the stigma against linearity in games

One more annoyance - selling a collector’s edition of a game with a digital only code for the game, when they are also selling a disc version of the game!  So annoying!

RIP local co-op 😢

The thing that gets me about modern games is how long it takes to learn how to play them. It's like you have to take a full course of wikipedia and youtube videos to understand what all the items in the game do.

I’m with Retro Bird on this one. Back in the day, there just was no such thing as “down time” or “filler moments” in games. That’s why one of my favorite games of the 2000s was Geometry Wars. There I was in the middle of all these amazing 7th gen consoles and I was shooting circles and squares for hours on end.

11:17 Yes. As a parent, I don't want to buy 2, 3, 4 consoles and copies of a game to play a game together with my wife and kids. What still drives me nuts is Splatoon games would be perfect to squad up and play split screen.

The saddest trend that us collectors are seeing is the slow (yet inevitable) death of physical media--from the packaging, to the manual, to the advertisements, to any special extras, to the game itself.  There is just something special about the tangibility of games and their accessories that adds to the overall experience of playing and collecting them.  A lot of the fun is being destroyed by modernization of this part of the gaming industry, and again it's just sad.  Gather the physical media in all forms while you still have time!  #RETROGAMING4EVER :)

I always think the great divide as the era of online multiplayer.  That's when single player content started to become less important.

They talk to much in modern games, they just wont shut up and let me play.

"My copy of Contra made me promise not to put it in a home". Oh man, that was a great line😂😂😂😂🎉❤

5:46 I did NOT expect to get a Ken jumpscare here haha

I like that there's always something new to be made with modern games.  I want my games to prioritize quality, innovation and fun though which isn't always the case.  Open world you're just walking around for 70 percent of the game so I'm only in the mood for an open world like every other year.

“Red ‘delicious’ apples are gross” - I never felt this way, but I’m glad somebody said it since it’s the Apple I care about the least.

Agree on big budget modern games being too long - nothing wrong with a short, punchy game that doesn't overstay its welcome!

@1:55  Morpheus : "What if I told you that every game is RETRO, why would you wait long enough? "

Horses. Ah, horses, they can be fun as frustrating. When I first rode one on Shadow of Collosus, it was exhilarating.

The most annoying thing is bathroom breaks

Yes! Lots of the side quests in newer RPG games can just feel needless and waste your time. I feel like older RPGs never used this tactic.Phantasy Star 4 and Dragon Quest V, I can replay those and complete them again and again and always with enjoyment.
