I think for the most part its all about nostalgia... The newer games win hands down just because they are NEW. I would put the story lines of MGS4, Mass Effect, ToV or Valk Chronicles against any of the old games. Even if you dont like these games listed the stories are very indepth and I think incredible.
The older games do not have a soul or were some magical incredible game! No they were just fun when growing up. All the stuff you were seeing was fresh and new to you. At some point most new games stop being fresh and new and just bottled up in a different presentation.
Ms Pacman is always ranked high as top video games of all time. Most people that havent played it before wouldn’t spend hours playing it now… Just like IMO most new gamers or up and coming gamers will probably turn their nose up to games like FFVII. I loved that game but when I went back to play it there had been so many clones of the game that I was bored replaying it.
Now some games do stand up to time... I still like playing FF Tactics because I like a hard strategy game but I would rather have something new.
