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!

Thanks to the innovation and progress happening in Bethesda, it's also a new game!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

I'm playing Neverwinter Nights right now T_T

I thought AOL took down the server

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 hours ago

I mean the Bioware RPG.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago

Nothing wrong with that, and you have the sequel to look forward to!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Come on, it came out 11/11/11, that was like 3 years ago right?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 hours ago

Oh my sweet ~~summer~~ winter ~~child~~ geezer.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Exactly. Don’t need DRM unless multiplayer.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Multiplayer games also don't need DRM

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

I would say it’s essential for multiplayer games with servers because I wouldn’t want to host my games for free if I were a business and P2P connectivity is more hackable.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

They're remaking Lunar?

I hope they remaster Wings (the intro song).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

I kind of used the wrong word, really. They aren't doing so much as they did with FF7. It's more like just a re-master. It'll run in wide-screen, have some qol improvements for inventory, upscale graphics, lots of music, audio, and cutscene improvements, and some other little stuff, as well as retro mode that will make it all look and sound and appear just like it was 30 years ago.

I've been waiting for its release for like 6 months, but it actually drops just next week on ps4/ps5, pc, switch, and xbone.

Even though I've been waiting, I'm not sure if I'll get it next week right away or not. They're releasing physical copies on amazon for $55, but the digital copy is still $50. I'm a PC gamer, so I'll probably wait until that price gap is bigger if I'm only going to have a digital copy.

Also, it's Lunar 1 and 2 bundled together, so two classics.

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!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Morrowind to Oblivion to Skyrim was 9 years TOTAL. (2002, 2006, 2011)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Hell the first Elder Scrolls game Arena is only 17 years before Skyrim.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

Damn, there might be as much time between V and VI as between I and V.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I don't like how time works.

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Do you often formulate math problems spontaneously?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 14 hours ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 7 points 14 hours ago

Yeah otherwise that’s a 9 year old posting

Is that a French stereotype I am not aware of?

Because, I've got a bit of experience in teaching math, and I wish most kids in that class could speak math naturally.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (2 children)

They count very weird. For example to say 87 in french you say four twenties seven (quatre vingt sept) 92 in french is four twenties twelve (quatre vingt douze).

[–] [email protected] 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Don't ask the danish how they say 92

[–] [email protected] 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Oh my lord, that is even worse!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I lucked out living in a place with a completely logical numbering system thankfully :3.. even english is slightly weird with 11 and 12 not following the -teen pattern (guessing a holdover for using dozens/base12)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Eleven and twelve still do kinda follow base 10 rules. They literally mean “one left” (ain-lif) and “two left” (twa-lif) with the “over ten” being implied.

I'm not quite sure why we have different words for those two, though. Maybe when we added the 'teens, those two just sounded better than firsteen and seconteen?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

Oh, it's about that. It's just leftover from an old base 20 counting system really. Kind of like how time is still using base 60 (though it's kinda convenient for dividing), stuff like that.

Really, English is not completely safe from that. Ask yourself why eleven to nineteen instead of, you know, ten-one, ten-two...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago

Dude, you can't just go around and say stuff like that

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

[–] [email protected] 20 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

The term "classic" would suit it better.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

"Retro" would also work, given that it was released 2 generations ago
