He plays alot more on touch based devices and is very into the whole magical gaming sphere. Personally, I have started gaming more on my emulator, old Mega Drive games, and I love them. But I also realize that they aren´t as magical as they were when I grew up. Personally, I have always blamed Sony because they commersialised video games in a way that hadn´t been done before. Nowadays, I understand that they actually saved the industry because it needed to grow. You grow up, and the magic slowly fades away. The industry is less innocent today and we who grew up with it has seen it all happen. But much of the magic is still there for those who are younger. |
Eh not really. That magic was very much there for me with Ni no Kuni, The Last of Us, and Xenoblade Chronicles.
We just need to go back to gamers making games instead of investors.
All three of those games had me simultaneously in tears and smiling not because of the stories but just because I was in heaven and so relieved to know that games , modern games, could still capture the magic I once experienced on SNES.
Proof that you CAN have state of the art graphics and a good game. These games all made me feel like a 6 year old on Christmas morning just from how obvious it was the devs put their heart and souls into the game the moment you put the disc in. Parts in the game you're supposed to be sad and crying I was HAPPY and crying because I was THRILLED the game was affecting me and making me sad like that. And the affirmation that my tastes have not changed in 20 years, but validation of the fact that yes, GAMES HAVE CHANGED FOR THE WORST, not me.
Beats the fuck out of "K/D bro!"
old skool
