Forums - Gaming - 5 Ways To Tell You're Getting Too Old For Video Games

#5. You Think Multiplayer is Bullshit (Agree)
#4. You Think Games Are Suddenly Too Long (Don't agree O_o)
#3. You Miss Game Storylines That Were Actually Compelling (Yeah, but there are some good ones, they're way too hard to find nowadays though)
#2. You Think Originality is Dead (Nah, there still are "original" games, not as much as before in my opinion)
#1. You Miss When Games Used to be "All About Fun" (Well... there are games that still are all about fun)

"And why do people buy these new games by the millions? Do they really not know what they're missing? Are they that brainwashed, that they can be fooled into thinking they're having fun when they're clearly not?"

LOL

How do Modern not suck? When your playing through those movie games Enslaved and the game does everything for for( you cant even jump to your death purposely) Hows is that fun?When the actual game is put in the background compared to every other cosmetic feature , how can that be entertaining? there are so many problems with modern games, vbut ision become clouded by something ridiculous like graphics that they are not seen as they should be.

I didn't play Enslaved because it doesn't look very good

 

But today's games are much better than the trial and error games of the past. 



Am I the only who noticed the arguments 1 and 3 cannot go together?

"You Miss When Games Used to be "All About Fun" but you also "Miss Game Storylines That Were Actually Compelling".

Wow, what an achievement.

The games of the past were also much better than the trial and error games of the past.

Any game before the N64 period was horrible IMO 

 

But really I guess it all depends on your viewpoint:

If you like change and improvement modern games will make you a happpy sap

If you like things to stay the same forevor and ever than games of the past will keep you peachy.

I havent played Enslaved either, thats from Demo and watching a friend. That mechanic is used in tons on modern games specifically Western made games. I dont understand it, if your not gonna allows us to "REALLY" platform then why put it there? So you cover up the fact that your is a hallway simulator by making it appear were doing something then running forward? Why are all 1st shooters set in the same War setting? what happened to shooters like turok 2? Why are we paying 60 bucks for less than 10 games? why are games not being shipped as full packages, not DLC added a week later? what happened to earning that DLC shit in game? Why are we waiting 3 plus years for games? Why are developmers hindering consumers with DRM? Why is multiplayer used as a xxtender and not real feature? and you say the modern age is better? Only if your blind sheep. Ill take trail and error games anyday.
