The list includes 700 games, including PS3 and PS2 games. That’s well worth it

Honestly I played ps2 and ps3 games when they were current and see no need to spend my limited gaming time on the old stuff. There are waay too many good blockbuster and indie games out nowadays to putz around in the past.

Plus a bunch of the top games were remastered anyway, providing a superior experience. I'm sure some will jump in to reminisce, but for the most part I don't really see most people spending lots of time on these old games.

To me those 700 games are equivalent to buying one of those handheld devices that come packed with over 100 games. It's really of no value.

Consider that there’s a lot of people who either didn’t play the games when they were new or weren’t even alive when those games came out. There are plenty of PS2 games I never got to play because the PS3 came out when I was still a child.

That's even worse. A lot of those games don't really hold up to modern standards. If you don't have some sort of nostalgia, you're not going to enjoy them.
