LOL @ ALDI in obnoxious amount of pre-game loading screens.

What a sad life you must live, not finding any good games in the modern era.

Yes, my life is so fucking miserable as I play through dozens of Super NES and PlayStation games, most of which are new to me. I own more great pre-PS2 games than I could probably play through during the rest of my life here on Earth.

Anyone have the suicide hotline number? I can't bear to live this way any longer.

Agreed.

I agree, there are some truly incredible games released this gen.

Why is that sad? There are more than enough good older games to last me for many years to come.

I believe he's referring to the mentality some people have that there's absolutely nothing worth playing in the modern era.

Its fanboyism of a different kind.

If one sticks to older games out of preference that's fine and dandy. But if they do so because they dismiss the entire modern era as worthless and terrible then its blind snobbery.

There's a shit ton of great games on current systems right now. Sure there's an awful lot of crap too, but at what point in video game history was that not the case?

Yeah I think this is what Popo was getting at. Some genres like FPS's have definitely been crippled over the years with some annoying game design changes, but oh well. It's the entire medium, it's become too overly saturated. There's still some goods out there, but you just have to dig deeper to find them. Like myself, I just played the first Stalker game and that's about as hardcore true FPS as you can get, and it's only a few years old.

Nostalgia goggles aside I would maybe argue there was more quality in the classic generations of gaming, but yeah that's biased. But hey I'm on a classic gaming community, so what can I say. lol

But yes, clearly there's still great games out there today.

I like your style...
