But really I think this kinda thread stirs up one of the worst arguments that happens way too much between gamers. Old school versus new school. There are people that come in with the argument that the way things used to be were the best and they should still be made today while the new stuff is just numbed down and for noobs. While you hear from the other side the new stuff is vastly superior and makes the old stuff out of date and worthless.

Both arguments are bad and really disrespectful to fellow gamers in general. By making such an argument you split each other up rather than trying to find common ground. Me personally I like the median between the new and the old. I'll buy Super Mario Galaxy while also picking up New Super Mario Bros Wii. I don't think 3D mario put 2D mario off the map... instead they coexist because both are still wonderful in their own right. For the same reason I can still go back and play the original Legend of Zelda game while enjoying Twilight Princess. Games and setups that were truly amazing 10 and 20 years ago are still great now. New setups don't take that away. And on the flipside new and innovative ideals help to push the industry to its limits and provide new timeless experiences to build on.

We should stop trying to say which is better and just say both are good in their own right. Take down the games that are actually bad rather than trying to be an elitist for a certain side. That's all I really have to say for that issue inside this topic.
