Remember when instruction booklet had artwork, story of the game and descriptions about the characters like how old they were? Now all games I bought have a folded sheet with the caution warning.

I remember when Pokemon had the empty list so you could know how many pokemon you could find, what happened? Why nobody is interested in putting at least some exclusive artwork in it?

the last one I remember that had something interesting was MGS4, it had like a small comic if I remember, also I noticed how game boxes are more lighter when it used to be a bit heavy because of how much the booklet had

Games used to be simpler back then and either had more limited means of story telling, or not enough cartridge space to weave in flavor/backstory/lore/etc.

>>345294302
jaja, no me referia ahorita pero eventualmente por aqui, cuando esten estos hilos, como lo hemos hecho. Se tambien por donde, espero sea donde pienso. Pero pues todo a su tiempo y momento. Por que dijiste que ponias esos champas? me gustaría saber

>>345294341
Maybe artwork could fill those spaces, then again that wouldn't favor the game's artwork print they can later publish

Shovel Knight comes with a full 50 page manual with character profiles for major bosses, citizens, and basic enemies.

2007 is the clear tipping point. Steam became more widespread with the orange box, the Wii was in full normie excitement mode, the iPhone ushered in mobile gaming as a tour de force, and all those other shitty things happened like tumblr and big bang theory and halo 3.

You can basically point to 2007 as the end of all good things in video games, through a combination of ultimately coincidental but still damning forces.

Remember when autist people didn't intruded in the things you like and we had booklets and such? Good times.

Now I'm hesitant to buy a game because its just the software without anything else to enjoy for me.

I miss reading those for the lulz and seeing the artwork they put.

Also I wrote in the note section of MGR learn2parry.

agreed on you, senpai. Tutorial levels are just a slow step to get into the game, just read what buttons do and try and fail until you get good at it

No, here's your (You). What's the point in coming to this board if you think there hasn't been a good game in nearly 10 years?
