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.

It's more like when you've grown up during the modern era of video games you probably were never able to experience how games got worse. Which obviously holds true in your case.

"Any game before the N64 period was horrible."

That's a sign of pure ignorance.

Did you actually think I was serious with that post? I guess I could see how you would since I am quite the little troll.

 

But on to seriousness:

I've never played a game from the period before the N64 so I don't know if they are good or bad.

And I based all my assumptions of current gen videogames being the best because current gen videogames are much better to me than anything I have played from the last two gens.

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. 


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.

I take high offense to being called a "blind sheep"! >:(



Im glad you do... because if you didn't I would be worried. Still hope for you. If you really fealt you were right you wouldn't be offended. btw you before N64 comment was just downright insult of the basis of which ALL games were build. Respect where your games came from

Points 1 and 2 contradict each other.

Look at my post after that...I was just taking a piss for the sake of it

But I do think current gen games are definitely the best but that's ok because we all have different opinions on everything.

You are simply playing the wrong games.

Yes, I thought you were serious and as it turns out your actual serious answer doesn't change much. The only different thing now is that you didn't insult games of the past, but you still don't know anything about them.

You are right I don't know anything about them and I honestly probably never will because there are far too many great games that come out on a yearly basis that I want to play more.

And I'm a massive graphics whore...once games get to a certain level of blockyness I just can't bring myself to play them. I am heavily biased towards asthetically pleasing things.

Games before the Nintendo 64 era basically all looked like this:

Surely, these games aren't too blocky, unless you really are that much of a graphics whore.

I really am that much of a graphics whore...I can barely stand to play many last gen games and even a few this gen like F.E.A.R :S

I clicked on the link (didn't even know the OP had a lot of info in it) and read the two pages there. It hit the nail on the head, to be honest. I feel like crying.

So I take it, based on the above videos you would never play a SNES game?

Yep pretty much...I just wouldn't be able to bring myself to play it.
