The only games I tend to play these days are the ones that I don't have to update before playing. Such a nuisance to be always online.

I remember when games didn't need updates, they just worked, or the bugs they had were cool (or annoying and required workarounds). Though I guess it makes sense that since games are more complex and larger now, they end up having more bugs and need more updates these days.

I'm glad others have pointed out this is pretty bullshit. If it's a great game then it's good. If the game was buggy you're shit out of luck, stuck with a broken mess with no hope of it being fixed.

Yes I loved not being able to save my progress

That depended entirely on the game. Most RPGs had some sort of save feature, even the old Final Fantasy on the NES. On the SNES, Super Mario World, the 3 Donkey Kong and Super Metroid all saved your game, instead of relying on passwords.

Yes there were games that could save, but also a lot that could not and I disliked that.

Updates, yes but almost every game did need to be installed though

You still had to install the game with a disc most times.

Edit: I never owned a console other than the N64. Just pc.
