It's like all the new games are getting more boring by the day, but the older games just never get old (in a sense). Ok so there are a few games that I really like that are pretty new, and some that I am waiting for and could kill to play
*cough* starcraft 2, red alert 3, Diablo 3 *cough* , sorry, must have been something in my throat : )It's like this, that there was a period when all the games kicked ass, and only the nerds played. And then the period came where the games got boring, and your sister would borrow your games because she thought it was kinda hip. Then the games started to get better graphics, introducing games like Battlefield 2, Gears Of War, World of Warcraft etc (generally games like that, you don't have to post here just to tell me that there were other games before that, because that is a given).
The first period was basically from day 1 in the life of gaming, when people would sit in front of the TV with a small black box with a button on it, and play pong, now that is a fucking kick ass game right there. And during the same period of gaming time (because I divide gaming periods into 3 periods, I'll come to the other ones shortly) we had Commodore, Amiga, NES, SNES, Sega Master System, Sega Mega Drive ... etc. Those were like the golden days of gaming to me, because all the real good games were made then. And it's games from this period that I also collect a lot, because when I was younger, I sold most of it because it was "outdated" and I got a Nintendo 64, which bored the fuck out of me, which in fact, brings us to the second period of gaming.
During the second period, we have consoles like Playstation, Nintendo 64 Sega Dreamcast. And generally the only good one amongst these two, was the Dreamcast, in my opinion. I mean, the Nintendo 64 and Playstation were like really lame attempts to make "good" 3D graphics, but it totally backfired and failed, almost as big of a fail as George W Bush. The Playstation had some good games though, like Red Alert, Command & Conquer, and the Final Fantasy series. While the Nintendo 64 had Super Smash brothers, and James Bond. But generally they sucked, and didn't bring me much joy over the years, just a waste of money (although I still have them left. Still worth being in my collection).
The third period was like another golden era or something, because there are a bunch of really good games for Xbox, Xbox 360, playstation 2, playstation 3, gamecube, Wii and of course computers (yeah PC's are included, and Mac's as well if you so wish). Games like Battlefield 2, F.E.A.R, crysis, Command and Conquer generals/Tiberium wars, Soul Calibur, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, and so on and so forth. These are all really good games, and bring me much joy. But the problem is today that our attention spans are short now, and we need really good graphics and really good stories to even bother playing, like Half Life 2, now THAT is a good story, and a very good game with nice graphics.
But yeah, I'll wait for Red Alert 3, and the others ... and I'll see what will become of them. And until then, I'll just kill some schrooms on Super Mario
Does anyone else share this passion for games?
, planning to get some other ones like Turtles and Super Mario ^^
