For me, they are more fun, I much more of an old school gamer thats all. Not to say Wii games arent fun, ill be looking forward to playing SSBB. But im happy with COD4 and Uncharted all the same :)

 

This was so funny, that i had to quote this. :) I'm not bashing you or anything like that, it's just that you are still so young. You see, even that Wii is the most modern console at the moment (or would post-modern be better word?), it offers the most old-school experience in the most modern way. And then there's Virtual Console, for real old-school experience, in real old-school way. @le_patriote&Outlaw: About parents buying consoles for their kids, some buy something instead, if they can't find what kids wanted, although most don't buy. Some buy console for their kids, without kids even asking. And then there's the other relatives, who buy consoles for familys kids, and who don't understand the importance of having a specific console.

yeah bdbdbd seriously when that kid said he is much more of an old school gamer i thought he was gonna say he likes the wii a lot more. silly young kids who started playing games last gen and don't know what old school means. i especially like when he mentions COD4 as though a first person shooter is old school. very funny.

 I see how me playing on the NES and SNES as my first consoles is me starting last gen. Well done making assumptions "old man". How is 17 a kid? Honestly.

Old school was the wrong term to use admittedly, but I think the point I was making was pretty clear without being pulled up over a technicality. Its called semantics, old school in terms of the console generation would look back at the NES/SNES standard controller interface, which isnt what the Wii provides. 

Plus, FPS has been an established genre for nearly 20 years..not exactly a recent innovation in gaming is it? 

 

I don't think ilovetogame wanted to bash you either. So, why 17yo is a kid? You know it after ten years. You're in an age, that you have your own brains and are capable of independent thinking, but you just don't have the experience to use them correctly. Also, your brainchemistry is in an state of constant change, which influences your thinking and sometimes even confuses. What your brains hunger is testosterone and endorphines (which the FPS games really do offer). The change will stop before the age of 25. So that's why you're a kid. You're not stupid, you just don't know enough. I understood at the first place what you were meaning with old-school, but, as i said, i found it funny. You're right, FPS isn't exactly a new innovation (but compared to some genres it is), but you said old-school and named a modern FPS in the same sentence. Look at the old FPS:s and compare them to new ones, you propably see a big difference (i don't mean graphics). Think the simplicity in Wolfenstein or Doom, and then think the complexity in Halo or Resistance. Difference is almost as big as between 2D platformers and 3D platformers. The old-school, was the ease and simplicity in gaming. Although Wii offers a new way to play, it went old-school by basics, by making things simple again. While 360 and PS3 offers the same that has been popular for the last ten years, they still make gaming more complex than what it has been in the last ten years. It propably is hard to see for someone who have got used to play that way, but everyone new to gaming can see the difference easilly. Now, on my behalf, you can play and enjoy whatever games you like and it's nice to see that you have found your favourite game/genre/way to play games, but it may change sometime in the future.
