that games are becoming gayer and gayer by the minute? maybe my standards are too high but it seems like finding a good game is like finding a needle in a haystack, i mean it was always kinda like that but more so now than before. It almost hurts me to see all the wasted work put into these god awful games that come out now and days. anyone share this opinion?
yeah studios dont want to take risks, and so they dont which means we get reiterated stuff all the time.
btw your avatar caught me off guard.
The new generation of gamers are too amazed by graphics to care for storyline, gameplay, or just general FUN.
I agree with most of these points. People are amazed by graphics and sound more than anything now. I find it harder to keep up with the gaming industry as they keep pumping out games (more quantity than QUALITY). Anyways, there are good games out there, but it depends on the genre and mainly what you like.
i didnt know games had sexual prefrences
Can you support your argument with several examples of both good and bad games.

i think there is a lack of 'original' good games being released, but thankfully there are loads of sequels still being made, metal gear, gta, ff, resident evil, silent hill, ssx, tekken, DMC....well these are the games that keep me coming back anyway

well there are of course many new age games that have come out that are great but for the most part 94+ pretty much suffer from a new wave of quantity over quality, i just dont find as much inspiration in games. I mean considering all the new technology we have and use in our games, why do i constantly find myself going back to old school for more than the mere fact that its old school? when i think great game, i think super metroid, mario bros 3, kirby, f-zero (i havent even got into NES) and god knows how many more. In fact now and days I find myself not playing console at all because most of the good games of the time are being released on PC ( and those are pretty slim pickings) i just find that new games have a lack of inspiration and you cant really see the creativity in it. Of course my opinions differ from others but i just find that many games now and days are easily forgettable where as many old games i still remember to this day, also another good point is the ease of games now and days. It seems that once the realm of 3d gaming was brought into the light games got easier and easier by the minute, i find it very hard to find a challenge in gaming now and days. But even though the gaming industry as a whole seems to have gotten worse we always find works of arts that are a dime a dozen.
Games today are easy because the consules allow you to save games and try to beat certain parts with almost unlimited tries, whereas games of earlier time didn't have that option and posed a huge challenge to beat the game. The weak ones gave up, but the strong continued to play. Today, anybody can beat a game and therefor their is not much of a challenge.
I think HL2 is the most perfect well-rounded game in terms of : realism, graphics, gameplay, action, and fun
Honestly, you people have way too much facken time on your hands! Who cares about old-skool games, thats the past. Technology is changing every day, you just can't expect everything to be the same. I, myself, like games that have amazing graphics & sound. Back in the day, games were a lot harder ofcourse, which was a advantage but come on, the characteristics of the game sucked! lol Also, I think that games will start to look more realistic year by year. Just enjoy the technology and have fun, don't complain
Maybe we like the old stuff because that's what we grew up with.
Like with the final fantasy stuff, a lot of people are saying that ff6 or what have you is the best ff game ever (and this is old school 2d SNES kind of game, and I gave up after playing it for 20 min), but after playing ff7, ff10 etc I can't bring myself to play ff6 even though its so acclaimed. Why? The incredibly limited graphics and game engine.
On the other hand, I have no problem playing game boy Zelda games (same deal as ff6) because I used to play them as a little kid, and totally loved them. In fact Id rather play old school Zelda on gameboy over Ratchet and Clank even though RandC has waaay better graphics, etc.
Im sure you guys will be able to come up with your own examples of this.
So yeah, my conclusion - it's because we grew up with these games that we like them so much, and its a trend thats going to continue with each generation of gamers.
the point that im trying to make blue_neon is that a lot of games now and days are focusing on visual appeal rather than quality and gameplay. (for instance Doom 3 which was only visually appealing for the first hour or so) every once in a while we see games that take creativity and technology and marry the two making a really really good game, but that is extremely rare. People are just focusing on releasing as many games as possible rather than games that will always be remembered and revered by people in the gaming community. Now i dont really see a much of a point in getting in to an argument over the whole subject, im just saying i dont like it

I thought i was the only one that felt this way. Ever since the new consoles came out games have just lost their spark for me. I try to get into them but never like i used to. I used to be able to sit up late at night stairing at the screen for hours upon hours not even blinking. Now i'm luck if a game keeps my interest for more than a single hour. They just aren't as fun as they used to be. I think its a lot like todays movies. Back in the day they didnt have all of these special effects and they were forced to be creative and make the best out of what they had. Now they just throw some CG crap on it.

i've always played games to waste time. dont care much for the graphics. if the story line is strong, i will be interested longer, otherwise i will stop playing halfway thru.
