The old games had originality and uniqueness. The new games are all carbon copy sequels. Sure there are a few games that are beyond amazing, as well as a good number of mediocre ones. But the vast majority never needed to even be made, because they're no different from their predecessors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most games before 6th gen just feel too technologically outdated and on top of that were built in a time where standards for game design was primitive and not as evolved as now which makes them not as fun to play as now. It sounds shallow but this isn't just graphics, it's also performance, bigger worlds, more complex systems, better camera angles etc that make newer games more fun. There are some crappy soulless games coming out nowadays but there are gems like Ghostrunner and Deathloop that have come out recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's not untrue either. It's subjective whether old or newer games are better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's definitely based on the eyes of who's playing a said game at any point in time and that's something that might differ from another's point of view.

Head_Hunter Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) I don't play game due to its existence, even if it dated from 70s, or 80s, I don't bother about it provided it offers me what I want.

The standards for game design in the 1980's were superior to now. Uniqueness was a requirement. Taking chances was standard. The simpleminded games of today are, as I said, all carbon copies with no soul and no originality. There are no new games. On the NES we had games like A Boy And His Blob, Astyanax, Blaster Master, Legacy Of The Wizard, Street Fighter 2010, and Zelda II. On the SNES we were introduced to short lived games like Earthworm Jim, F-Zero, The Legend Of The Mystical Ninja, Lagoon, Secret Of Mana, Illusion Of Gaia. Also there are big franchises like Zelda that haven't aged well. The originals on the first few systems were amazing, but after that they have just been declining in quality. None of the games of today could ever hold a candle to the games of the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I opt for the former, as I just don't have the time or interest to be involved in something as childish as a flame war. Heatman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
