A friend of mine who is 5 years younger than us refuses to play the afforementioned sf2hd because he says it's old and it sucks but thinks kane and lynch is the greatest game ever, i mean wtf, sony gen gamers generally, and i don't mean all sony gen gamers of course, can't appreciate the classics and funnily enough they're also the most vocal about speaking out against the wii and ds. |
This is actually part of what pushed me out of gaming for a while. I've been gaming since 1984, loving it most of the way. But then came the PS1... of course, I got one, but I didn't get a lot of games (for me) on it. Then I looked back and saw why- the new fanbase fell for my issue that arose then. Games weren't as fun, they were just pretty, and the new gamers got sucked in (and suckered) by this new beauty. FF7, for all its hype, was crap as a final fantasy. All it had was graphics to me; the story was bland (IMO), the challenge was gone, even the joy of exploration was taken away. It was follow a straight line, looking at their pretty graphics. (Ironically, this was also the point when my preference switched from FF to DQ.)
And, many years later, when I was pretty much done entirely with gaming, along comes the DS. It was something different; the focus went back to the game. And I started finding games similar to the ones I played way back when, but that had more interesting features. (Say, Etrian Odyssey, for instance?) There was a common thread with these games- Atlus. So I had to go get a PS2 to play some of their other games, and it was this that brought me back into gaming. Needless to say, I also love the different style of the Wii. So maybe I'm back close to the fun I had in the old days, but it's much more narrowed.
