but thats kinda his point though...... and I have to agree with him.
I have been gaming since I was like 8 and that was around 27yrs ago. And I know too well just hwow decieving a thing nostalgia is... which really is what everything you justr mentioned is. Nostalgia. Those games really don't hold a candle to what we have today. Storywise, atmosphere, music and even gameplay.
And the same way you say third person shooters and fps military shooters is the same way how looking back then there were a ton of side scrollers and top down games. Or did you forget that?
If there is anything about modern gaming I can knock at its that the games have generally become easier. And this is mostly due to the market having grown and them needingto be more accessible and of course the tech available today allowing us have things like save points and checkpoints. The latter two basically has changed game design as we know it cause now there isn't a need for "lives" starting from the beginning when we die and those save codes anymore. I think most people don't realize that majority of all the games back then could be finished in under 5 hrs if we had something as simple as a save function of checkpoints. In modern gaming, you basically have to pick the hardest setting to get a decent challenge outr of the game.
