LOL! I am sorry, language mistake. I am still learning english. i made a confusion with "ganging up". lol Yes, i think the same can be applied to him, but he wasn't the one talking about being blinded by nostalgia. His historical testify seems very plausible, because i somewhat identify with him during the 90's, game rental was pretty big that time and games were so much expensive where i live, so you had to be absolutely right about your purchase. And i only had contact with fanboyism accidentally accessing a gaming forum 4 years ago. I am yet to see fanboy wars IRL. So what you are saying is kinda funny to me. |
I have to agree with pokoko on this. Brand power existed just as much then as it does now. You were also more likely to get shovelware back then too. It was far more difficult to make an informed decision on a game. All you had to go by was marketing ploys/reviews in gaming mags and heresay. Now we have something called youtube where you can look up a multitude of reviews, gameplay vids, trailers, demos. etc and make a decision based off of that. Nostalgia is coloring Azzanation's perspective of the "good ol' days". Games are infinitely better as a whole than in the 80's and 90's.
