    The time he’s taking about was during a time when people were lamenting DLC and other things. The 7th gen (which is a part of the modern era of games as far as I’m concerned) was the beginning of all the things wrong with modern games. The monitsation, the “grizzled white dude” BS, and the push towards US military propaganda. Fuck the 7th gen.

      Yeah I was ready to shake my fist at the the idea these were “old” games, but in fairness we’re talking about 15 years ago. It’s entirely possible the creator of the video wasn’t even born yet when Oblivion was released. It’s way longer than we used to give games before we considered them old, though I think that’s a result of how rapid obvious progress was - which has slowed down drastically.

      Him fawning over the Witcher 3 as an old game from another era cracked me up though.
