Rest Mode definitely is the feature I most appreciate today. Now as a busy adult I don't have the time to wait for the game to boot up whenever a ten or fifteen minute window of playtime opens up.
I'm nearing 30 but I can't imagine having that short of a window of playtime! Hope you make the most of your game time as well as the rest of your time.
@@dooleh84 that and the fact that you get personalized time estimates for each mission (PS5 games) based on your playstyle. It's so helpful to know whether it's worth it to start the next thing or call it a night.

Although it leaves me feeling really uncomfortable (for some odd reason), I also have to quit things when I've finished, even apps lol maybe my old gaming habits are just so ingrained into me.

As a child of the 80s, I remember when you had to save your allowance so you could play the really great looking games in arcades that you couldn’t get on home consoles.
Growing up as a gamer, and hearing thunder and/or seeing lightning outside. Maybe you’re far from a save point, and then suddenly the power goes out. The worst part was when the power came back on immediately…but your progress since your last save was gone
Back in my day, when it was bed time I would still sneakily play a game whilst my parents were down stairs, my bedroom door slightly open, when I saw the landing light come on, the tv remote was ready by me so could put it on standby 😁
I use to shut my door and put a blanket at the bottom of the door so the TV light didn't shine through. Back in my day we didn't have fancy headphones, so I had to play with the sound turned way down too.
The digital version is trap. Once you buy it, you cant trade it, and everyone will have to buy a copy at full price forever, it will never be reduced like it is for used games.
Digital games are more convenient, but I'll always prefer physical. It's cheaper and I can put it on the shelf. I don't mind getting up to swap discs over.
Some games for PC had DLC, we just didnt call it that. For instance Warcraft 2 Tides of Darkness and Beyond the dark portal. If you had The dark portal it wouldnt work without Tides of Darkness, and many of the enemies were reskins

I don't miss memory cards, wired controllers, blowing on cartridges (or even easily scratched ps1/2 discs), buying games after reading the back of the case, etc.
I definitely remember gaming back in the day when I got a GameCube for my birthday and I had to go rent a game cuz I didn't get a game with it. And I had no memory card. So I left the game running why I went to my college classes and came back and finished and beat the game.
Where do you go for 40% marked up digital games? I started going digital after seeing dozens of older games on sale in the ps store for less than $20, when they're still $40 or more at GameStop or Walmart. Having 80 games on an external is a game changer as well🤷♂️
As the old man that I am I've got to say loading times, I know people love to moan if they have to wait a whole minute for a level to load but until you've tried to load Gauntlet off of a cassette tape you have no idea what real pain is 🤣🤣
I’d argue trophies are a step back. Because you used to get other rewards. Cosmetics, loot. Now it’s a trophie and you have to buy the stuff in mtx I had the “you never beat emerald weapon” I bet them all 5 pounds and invited them all over. I gave them 20 minutes to find Emerald underwater. I hadn’t beat Ruby at that point.
Going back a really long way I can remember a number of point and click adventures that would allow you to make the game unfinishable by missing an item or not doing something. The game would allow you to carry on for a few hours and then you'd just hit a brick wall where even after hours of pixel hunting in every available place for the missing item/solution and exploring every line of dialogue you couldn't get any further and you'd have no idea why. Add to this the fact that the internet wasn't really a thing and unless you knew someone personally who'd either figured it out themselves or had a guide of some description you had no way of getting past the problem without phoning one of the incredibly expensive helplines.
You had me at "old man yells at cloud " brilliant episode team. Long time fan, in my day there wasn't a channel like this, you had to read magazines and hoard them like an insane person 😁😁😅😅

Brilliant video once again 👌 I remember the old days too well, especially having to delete an old save from the memory card 😅 Being a gamer never felt so good, and I can’t even imagine what the future will bring!
Man I love this, thank you Rob, Friday features are so fun to watch I hope you realise that you, mean a lot to me and to a lot of people around the world. Thank you for doing this week after week for our sake.
Timestamp 6:56 “I love you Rob and that Game specifically“ Every time I watch an access video where this game is featured I will comment, even just cameos like this warms my little nostalgic heart
Oh I completely agree, we live in a much better age of video games today than we did 20 years ago. Some of it was fun yeah, but the controls have improved a lot, graphics, movements, reaction times, but overall graphics, games look so much more wonderful nowadays.
I had a flashback while watching this video ... There was a show called X-Play on G4 tv and watching this video brought back memories of watching how Adam and Morgan reviewed games back in the day .. Good times.
Hello, you've caught me being excited about a Friday Feature 🤩 Pausing my trip to Greece (In AC Odyssey) Oh god, powercuts..Nooo whyyyy. I remember FF8 in a dragon dungeon, the PS1 cutting out. Noooooo whyyyy Playstation gods, whyyy 😅
That second part is absolutely true. How many times did I have to delete a save file from a game, just so I could create a save file for another one. Limited saving capacity is definitely a factor I am glad I never have to worry about anymore.
My first experience with video games was on ZX Spectrum. Nowadays, you just choose a game from library and it starts. No setting up of read head, no loooong tape loading. I remember, that if you failed a level in Chase HQ you had to rewind the tape and load the level in again.
Number 6 is so true! I‘d have given up on most of my games if I didn‘t have the internet. It also is a great help with number 4, seeing how this channel was one of the factors that really got me into games (although I’m still not a big time gamer, who has played so many games). I also agree on number 3. When my disk for Arkham city broke,… well to say the least, I wasn’t very happy. [Edit: Oh, and 11:50 was some of the funniest stuff I’ve seen Dave do.]
We had so many guide books and magazines lying around from when my father played all those point and click adventures or strategy games during the 90s. I loved to read through the Age of Empires 2 guide. Not that I ever needed it myself - the first time I actually noticed it on the shelf was years after I had watched my father play it and I had also played it myself several times. But I still liked to read it.
I quite miss sharing games with mates.; sharing tips and stories when you hand it over. Inspiring your mate to unfathomable heights of hype or fear lol
Omg Rob.. thank you so much for bringing the old intro, bg music, and overall format back. I will assume those couple of weeks were a bizarre experiment that shall never be revisited. Now to be an annoying subscriber.. when are you doing the Old Hunters?
remember having trouble not finding a certain game in shops back in sega days and early PlayStation days but now there's the PlayStation store , do miss old days though
We had an old-arse wood-lined console when I was very young - so young I don’t know what console it was. But I do remember the pain of putting the cassette tape in to load, running AND having my bath, drying off and it still not having loaded ready for me to play before bed. We’ve got it so good now.
I’m old enough to remember anywhere from 5-10 minutes of modem sound screeching while my game loaded, FROM A TAPE, after which it was 50:50 whether it would crash. Everything since that has felt like a quantum leap forwards.
The 'old man yells at Cloud' was sensational
Yeah that was the best
It's a classic Simpsons reference too.
With him literally yelling at Cloud (albeit a statue of Cloud).
I just got to that part and had to check if someone felt the same way.^^
omg I saw it on Twitter and saw it here and it still took me a few seconds to get it. That was great, well done
Remember Rob: We couldn't prove we beat those bosses, but neither could anyone DISPROVE it. Lying about game finesse was so much easier in the 90s
Not really, since we had things like Game Genie and other cheat codes. Unless you saw someone beating a game with your own eyes, it was nothing to brag about.
@@Rocket1377 Plus cheats are still a thing and Bethesda games allow PS4 users to download mods. I don’t know about PS5 though. I mean, I downloaded a mod for Fallout 4 that upgrades the Minutemen.

My favorite part too. I also like the bloke Guru Larry, " but, ello you"
As a child of the mid 90s who remembers playing games when controllers had wires attached to them wireless controllers are so nice
My game room is too big for wired controllers.
I remember not knowing (probably because I didn't read all of the information in the box) that the PS3 had wireless controllers (I honestly hadn't kept up on launch info and got one much later in the cycle) and wondering *why* they came with such short cords to plug into the PS3. I was so frustrated too because I was basically on top of the family wide screen TV to be able to play.

Cris Michel 🤣🤣🤣 I'm so sorry for the pain you had to endure

@@Crisjola Lol, you never wondered why you had to connect the controller to a wire manually to begin with?

Back in my day when you bought a game it was done, and a 30 - 99 gig patch was not needed before we could play the game. Great video as always!
4:07 Rosie... You ALWAYS go for chocolate sprinkles on a cappuccino! It's a no-brainer!
I quite miss sharing games with mates.; sharing tips and stories when you hand it over. Inspiring your mate to unfathomable heights of hype or fear lol
Every single thing ROB did CRACKED ME UP!! Thank you
Back in my day, we did not have saves. You had to start all the way from the beginning.
Combine that with not having unlimited lives, we were forced to actually get good if we wanted to finish the games. And the games were harder.
Digital only games are all fun and dandy until the store shuts down
Omg Rob.. thank you so much for bringing the old intro, bg music, and overall format back. I will assume those couple of weeks were a bizarre experiment that shall never be revisited.
Now to be an annoying subscriber.. when are you doing the Old Hunters?
remember having trouble not finding a certain game in shops back in sega days and early PlayStation days but now there's the PlayStation store , do miss old days though
We had an old-arse wood-lined console when I was very young - so young I don’t know what console it was. But I do remember the pain of putting the cassette tape in to load, running AND having my bath, drying off and it still not having loaded ready for me to play before bed. We’ve got it so good now.
The big one for me is all the strides that handheld gaming have taken. Playing FFX on my Vita was mind blowing to me the first time I did that.
Knowing the end game cut scenes was the proof you finished a game back in the day.
I’m old enough to remember anywhere from 5-10 minutes of modem sound screeching while my game loaded, FROM A TAPE, after which it was 50:50 whether it would crash. Everything since that has felt like a quantum leap forwards.
Looks like Dave really did cherish that Star Wars box from Ash on the Halloween stream last year, wholesome.
Love you guys, you are so cool, funny, entertaining and DEDICATED! Best sub I ever made, keep up the good work!!
