    Old games had a soul. Modern games have microtransactions.

    Only Indie games nowadays give me a feeling of getting into something that is made out of love, and not solely for money.

    In Solasta: Crown of the Magister, if you miss your spell or your shot your party members will talk shit. It’s funny.

    Max Payne “I was too tired to go on.” or “I was afraid to go on.”

    Game over screens too like Arkham City with the villain mocking Batman. System Shock with the hopeless death animation. Sometimes the deaths can get elaborate and repetitive though like some horror games.

    Not quite on topic but I miss one thing from Llamatron. When you paused it showed a small icon of a toilet or a cigarette.
