Do They Really Not Make Them Like They Used To?
SirSkyRider:
Yup, you got it.
I strongly press for the idea of video games being accepted as a form of art, but not to the point where the artsyness completely consumes everything else. Whilst those games may be nice to have as well, they offer very little for long-time players.
(click to show/hide)The only artistic game maker I really accept is Tetsuya Mizuguchi. Rez, Lumines and Child of Eden blow my mind every time I play them - not just because they're aesthetic in both sound and visuals but because they offer quite good gameplay.

I think we should start another thread to discuss artsy games.

So I really want to make this post full of cynical insults....but I will refrain as much as I can...
When it comes to memories people generally stick to the good, not the bad. My first game system was a nintendo, you know, the grey one that was like 8-bit, I can honestly say that of the dozens of games I played on it none of them were great and most of them were less than mediocre. My next console was a sega genesis, when I had it my and my brother's would regularly rent games from the local video store and after a few years of that I think it's safe to say we played hundred if not thousands of different games a week at a time, again, I remember only a handful of games I really liked, and a mass of mediocre mostly boring games that we didnt even bother finishing. This has not changed, and will never change.
Any time this subject comes up I hear shit like "x bad game that just came out was noway near as good as 'insert classic well thought of game here'" or my favorite "new games are shit, except for this title, or this title, or this entire genre..."
Some new games are fucking awesome, just like some old games were also fucking awesome. Lumping all "new" games and all "old" games into 2 categories and comparing them is just stupid...which I guess means I think this whole thread is stupid...yeah that sounds about right

Hmm I think older people are allowed to rant about the good ol' days. And people already know that.
Sorry to ruin your "victory" post but I was enjoying bsing about new vs old. This was fun until you had to come along.

and I think they are talking more bout the story line etc. stuff of the games and that how they repeat the one awesome thing from 1 old game on nearly all of the new games aand Also about that how the teams they use are too big.
