But BG2 is still an awesome game, in some points unreached until now. That's not just nostalgia.
So are a number of titles I played, particularly in my Third Gaming Phase; but that was then and while they have a lot of strengths, they were of their time. While there are elements I'd love to see again, I dunno if I'd really be that entertained with a more modern clone: once the novelty wore off I think there'd be a risk of feeling all btdt.
I feel like games quality has largely dropped since 2010, in favour of technology.
Well what kind of games do you like from back then? Because to me, the rise of indie gaming means we have bot hold school titles and big budget titles, as opposed to 10-20 years back when AAA games were on the level of indie games now.
As far as RPG's go, I think we're in a new golden age, first one being the early 90s with gold box, second being Black Isle / Interplay period and now third with a myriad of indie developers as well as AAA studios making great RPG's.
Not to mention the huge amount of awesome strategy games (Rimworld, Banished etc.), survival games or even roguelikes. If you can't find anything to play in the year 2020, maybe you're just not that interested in playing anymore?
