My first dedicated gaming system was the PS1, and in general I have no trouble going back to the sprites and chunky polygons of the mid-to-late 90s, whether on consoles or computers

spoileras long as I can upscale them to 1080P

Beyond that it gets a bit hit and miss- SNES and Mega Drive games look and sound fine to me and I've played plenty of 16 bit console games as an adult. On PC, I can enjoy 2D stuff like Sam & Max Hit the Road or the original X-Com but most early 3D, like the original System Shock, looks a bit too much like visual vomit.

Going to 8-bit, while the vast majority of NES games are too primitive to my eyes and ears, I have no problems with Game Boy/Game Boy Color games.

spoiler(Well, at least the good ones, mostly made by Nintendo)
Is it just nostalgia because I had a GBC as a kid or is it because Game Boy games came later and had more developed visual aesthetics? thinking-about-it

My limit is probably the very late 80s

Bunch of contrarian hot-take bullshitNo, lmao, the combat is even better than the first one, and the improvements to AI, Take All button and Push Character button really do help. But the game acquired a sickeningly juvenile sense of humour and some painful edgyness in the developer switch, so it really does not have the same commitment to tone that the first one does. Also I think the overworld map layout is a total mess.

I haven't played either in long time so I'll take your word for it. To be fair I was juvenile and edgy when Fallout 2 came out so I probably have some pretty colored memories.

As a game, like mechanics and shit it's stellar, but every line of dialogue makes me want to punch every NPC. It's got slavery in it for no reason, and theless said about its "native" charicatures the better... Idk, I was really hyped to play it since Fallout was so good, people say this one is even better! Oh man! The one where you can have videogame secks on film!!

There's a bit where you can sleep with a farmer's daughter, get discovered by her dad and be forced to marry her. If your PC is female the dad will remark that the hawt lesbian action is turning him on awooga

It's a really horny game

Look on the bright side, it's probably one of the earliest depictions of gay marriage in a video game kermit-pain
