7th generation is retro. I’m sorry but the PS3 and 360 came out almost 20 years ago. The 360 is as old now as the NES was back then

I think I have a different opinion on “retro” 😂

Jesus Christ, please don’t say that. I hate the passage of linear time.

I’m not saying you’re wrong

As far as I’m concerned, RAGE is a modern game. It even looks and plays like a modern game, so it can’t really be retro.

I agree with this

I’m speaking my age but in my head retro is frozen in time to be anything prior to the year 2000 😂. That’s just my opinion

For me retro is ps2 gen and earlier.
360 came out when I was in university, so for me, that is jumbled into my adult life.

I wouldn’t even consider PS2 retro. Maybe some of the earliest PS2 games. But for the most part to me it’s pre Y2K.

Thinking about it more, I like to draw the line there as everything after this generation had some level of internet connectivity. Also PC ports started to become common during this time.
Once the internet got involved i think gaming in general started to get worse with all the dlc, and micro transactions.
So the golden age of gaming, for me, is ps2 and earlier which I like to think of as retro.

No not really but it’s all subjective anyway.
I remember RAGE we good the first time I played but I really struggled with it last year when I tried it again. Also John Goodman voiced a character at the beginning and then buggers off never to be seen again…

I see what you mean. They could only afford so many lines of dialogue! 😆
