This is why these posts are so damn long. Everybody's like "This and that sucks, period!" ... it's a matter of taste and that's an individual thing, so shut all you people who go "blah blah blah is crap" ... it's somewhat ok if you give some arguments though.. but still, going "blah crap" doesn't solve anything, or make anyone change their minds.
There are still good games if you know where to look. The thing is, some genres worked so much better in 2D and people are scared to go back to it because of the old-fashioned look of it.
I'd like to see another Prince of Persia game in 2D. (Yes, I rediscovered the original recently and have been playing it to death, so excuse my obsession.)
games companys generally know how to make money from their games
if its good and sells well then make a sequel
thats what nintendo do for mario kart, zelda, mario 64 and mario party type games.
and thats why they rerelease snes games on the gba
because they will sell.
anyway games nowadays are probably better because they are not as limited by the hardware as they used to be. They cant be innovative as often because loads of ideas have already been done before.
mabye you have lost the same feeling you got with playing games when you were younger but that does not make those games crap does it now?
Not all the 3D games are bad. Ratchet & Clank was a good 3D game.
However,the majority of them stink. It's mostly army type FPS's and blow the crap out of everything type games. There are now just too many of these FPS's.
I agree. But even better are the ones that manage the keep the old charmm that made them such gems in the 2D universe, Metroid Prime being the best example to date. I had reservations when I heard they were taking Samus into the third dimension, but since I borrowed a friends machine and started playing it, I have to say that it is still deliciously Metroid. Between that and the upcoming Twin Snakes (even though I already have MGS1), its nearly enough to convince me to buy one for meself.
Broomie a agree with you about the graphics in Wind Waker and hope Nintendo change them for future zelda games. Anyway whoever said the storyline in Wind Waker is the best yet, you obviousely don't know what your on about.
I've been playing games for a lot more years then some of yous so don't act like I don't know what i'm talking about.
It doesn't matter if a game is old-new-3D-2D-FPS-RPG-RTS- or anything, as long as it's fun to play. Many old games (Mario series, Sonic series, MegaMan series, Zelda series, etc. etc. the list goes on) are very fun (and usually more fun than new 3D's) to play, agreed.
However, certain games such as Halo are very good new 3D games. Just because it's new and 3D automatically makes it crap? Disagreed...
XBox owns, I have a Game Pube and it would bend over and recieve sodomy from a gorilla if it pleased my friends' XBox. I mean what the hell? It's the worst of the 3 and the PS2 looks like something that landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day. It should be living in a museum addicted on a plant and then kill people for their brains, It's a goddamn relic. Now the Xbox, that mother ship looks as if you could slap a few homemade wings on it and take off. Sure it's big but who gives a fuck?!! It's not as if your gonna take that beaut with you everywhere you go, "oh look at me I carry my game cube to school and I pee my pants and cry and have tiny hands to play shitty games on the cube like Luigi's 'Non Skill Involved' Mansion". There's my rant for you guys Consider yourself Owned

Consoles are implementing computer features nowadays such as hardrives and internet capablilities. Which makes them have all the power of games on the computer except for no crashing.
I don't have anything against the PS2, but some PS2 owners say the Xbox sux? Why is that? I can't think of anything the Xbox doesn't have that it's rivals do, except that all the consoles have differant games.
"As for 3D games...you have issues if you not awesomely amazed by some of the stuff they can pull off in recent first person shooters then i'll eat my hat."
Its not that there not impresive its just that, well aren't you sick of FPS games? It seems to be the only genre these days and I'm sick of it!
I have been playing games since the NES days and I have to say that games are NOT worse these days. I know it's the cool thing to say how the old games were better but it's just not true. Most of the games on the NES were HORRIBLE. The NES had some classic games but the majority of them were awful. The ratio of bad games to good games on the NES was much worse than on today's systems. The Super Nes was a big improvement but still, most of its games were not that great. I would say the ratio of bad games to good games on the SNES was the same as on today's systems.
The fact is, peoples expectations have risen. As an example look at the Wind Waker. Many people trash this game, even though it is in essence, just as good as OoT. People's expectations rose so high because Oot was such a great game that Wind Waker just couldn't meet them. As more games come out expectations keep rising, and it's getting harder and harder to please people who have been playing games since the NES and SNES days. I would bet 500 dollars that kids who are playing today's systems will be saying the EXACT same thing 20 years from now. "Yep, the PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube now that was the golden age of gaming".
99 percent chance that the above post is 100 percent correct.
