The cool part about old games like NFS & GTA Vice City is the vibes they carry. Infrequent updates and awareness of the lack of technology at the time, made our minds set that we've to play them for a long time. Initially they seem boring but coming back from school/work and having a saved world in GTA Vice City was nostalgia.

With the current pace of developments, there is less time to relate with most games because we have updates in <1 year (except Rockstar obv) that changes the experience.
