Retro gaming>Modern gaming

only old school people like myself will understand this concept.....

@NewVegasTroop Same as you. Plus, I'm 14. And started playing Sonic 1 Genesis/Megadrive! Sonic 1 was my first vidio game. Sonic 1 (Genesis) > Call of duty

Hum.... No. Just no.

The most epic song in video themes is Final Fantasy VI (US = III) celes theme. (opera)

@SYTHE5 lol today 12 of January is my birthday and i turn 18, so you are older then me, i started gaming when i was 4 with the first game i play was super mario bros 3 then i just followed gaming as it evolved. now i haven't played portal 2 or bioshock but i know those games are good, however my point is that there are more old games that are good as oppose to today games with all those call of duty clones an such. besides i didn't say i hate all modern games...

[SYTHE5]

@NewVegasTroop Being old has nothing to do with good tastes. I'm 19 and agree that most games from today are bad, but it doesn't mean all of them. Look at Portal 2 and Bioshock, they're more modern, but they're not bad. Still, I did prefer the Snes and Genesis over the NES. So, just liking something for being retro is kind of ignorant in a respect.

Think about Dragon Age: Origins, there's nothing that made that game more extraordinary than the incredible acting skills of every voice actor in the game that could make the manliest of men feel emotion. You couldn't do that in an 8-bit RPG.

What about improved graphics? Sure, pixel art looks better than HQ art in many ways, but you can use a wide range of colors now, any colors you want! Since video games are more popular, it's easier to make simple ones now more than ever, as well.

@NewVegasTroop Only a fool couldn't understand that there are PLENTY of great games today like there was many years ago, they are just not mainstream and talk about as much.

All this music would make the best heavy metal.

@JudgeEden I too enjoy both time genres, but not just because nostalgia one or advanced like the other. I play because it's fun. The thing is, games back then were groundbreaking, unlike today where you see a new game and you just kinda wait until you hear good news or it's part of an already popular series. To be honest, big games today feel too much the same all over. Long stories with the same plot and similar gameplay. It's not all bad, but feels like a mush of the same material. You know?

@greyfox389 RPGs have stayed true to what games used to be like, COMPLETE, and fallout 3 and new vegas are some of my favorites games, so fallout new vegas being released in 2010 means absolutely nothing to my preference to old school games
