just play nintendo 1st party games and you'll be sweet. :D

I agree, could you imagine a world of video gaming without Mario, THE Italian plumber?

You're getting older...it can be harder to keep your attention on flashy videogames. But they can still be genuinely entertaining, just as fun as the old days if you get the right games and the right attitude.

I agree with the topic

also


how old are you leo-j? more accurately what system did you start gaming on?

cause I swear if you played NES, SEGA games back in the day (not on VC or emulator now but the time they actually come out) you wouldn't feel like gaming is still all that great compared to those years.

This is exactly my point, although I'm having the same trouble explaining it. Maybe putting on advertiseing was the wrong way to do it. :/

Well I'd like to think I know how you feel, and that I'm somewhat in agreement. I’ve argued before (probably elsewhere not here) that as an art form evolves and the tools needed to craft it become more efficient and readily available, and the form becomes more recognized, it opens the door to more to uninspired imitators and less dedicated individuals.

It’s something I feel more strongly towards movies than games, but this mindset applies to both. Actual limitations and hardships in early times might actually serve to motivate to most dedicated individuals in to creating and innovating in ways they might not of considered otherwise.

But that’s obviously not the whole story. In addition to more un-qualified people, such changes do open the doors to other talented people who may simply lack the fortune to endure in the art form of their own choice, and might allow others to pursue paths they couldn’t otherwise.

Still I think the earliest stuff seems more energized because it was pioneered in times of uncertainty and has energy that you rarely see in recent creations, were there’s already standards set, and assurances of what usually does and does not work.

no it hasn't i love video games nintendo is the best company for video games. FACT. its a FACT. It doesnt matter what you say nintendo is the BEST.

It's to do with age maybe... games just arn't as exciting as they used to be, back in the day just one game I could cherish and love forever, now I have the money to buy what I like it's just not exciting anymore.
