Old games are way better.

big dog · May 10, 2016, 09:50:31 AM

old games are generally able to hold my interest for a lot longer and have a lot more replay value without needing dlc or other shit.

I like good games.

I like good games.

Old games have a higher concentration of those.

Dude seriously? What does a game matter if it's old or new, if it's good, enjoyable and appealing then what else matters?

Plus, tell me what year warrants a game to be 'new'

I'm not saying that old games are better because they're old. I'm saying that old games just so happen to be better.

Sixth gen or earlier.

old games we remember are always going to be better because they were that good

like music, nobody can tell me the top 10 of 1990 even if they were good for their time but the best music has survived centuries like tchaikovsky and mozart

we still remember the beatles, cliff richards, etc

same goes for films which at the time were groundbreaking, cult classics like casablanca or a clockwork orange

there probably millions of songs, art, films that were made but unless they were that good they simply didnt survive the test of time, they could've been really popular for that year and then never heard from again

same would go for games

Blonic the Fluxmeister · May 10, 2016, 10:39:24 AM

There's games, both new and old, that I love. Besides, how old are we talking for games?

snee0rp · May 10, 2016, 11:19:33 AM

Old.
The single player adventure, metroidvania, and mech simulator genres are pretty much dead. Those were my favorites.

🂿 · May 10, 2016, 12:46:48 PM

Old video games. The only new video game I like currently is Rocket League.

g💚jira · May 10, 2016, 01:02:26 PM

Old games. At this point modern games have become so dry I'm anticipating maybe one game every two years [DXMD better not disappoint].

Aether · May 10, 2016, 01:34:42 PM

I play more old than new, but I don't make a conscious effort to have a preference. I just play what I like to.

Dietrich Six · May 10, 2016, 01:40:45 PM

Both tbh.

I've been very disappointed with the new crop though. MGS V set it off, and fallout 4 cemented it.

They're not particularly bad games, but compared to the hype I had for the previous ones they just don't hold up.

Luciana · May 10, 2016, 01:45:04 PM

Why isn't this in the gaming thread?

And anyone who says old games right away, I should remind you to go back and try some of them without those nostalgia goggles and see how bad they really could be.

even old games that haven't aged well are still better than 90% of the shit that is released today

and it's possible to take "nostalgia goggles" off when playing an old game and still conclude that it's good

I assume you mean games that release unfinished, which I would agree with. But overall, not really. I think the older you get, the more cynical you tend to get as well, so that factors into it.

Jono · May 10, 2016, 01:56:30 PM

It depends on the games

I do however miss the days when season passes and microtransactions did not exist.

Neither. Video games are for Hostess hording fucklinks.

Grow up you fucking DwEBs. Your friends Legend and Zelda can't help you in the real world when Danny Deljourno makes fun of the prosthetic disaster you call a mother before banishing your cave dwelling merchant like body down the handicapped elevator shaft.

god damn how I'd love to break into your lower middle-class place of dwelling at 4AM and shatter the precious portals of escape you hold dear.

Onyx Sentinel · May 10, 2016, 03:14:21 PM

There are only a few New games that I like, these days.

Arren · May 10, 2016, 03:34:22 PM

There's still innovation with some new games, but because of the increasing popularity of gaming as an entertainment medium I feel as if its marketability is directly proportional to a safeguarding of proven formulas more than an emerging medium with room to explore, fail, and succeed. I feel as if older games had more liberty to explore new ideas, whereas new games predominantly appeal to proven successful ideas. Because of this, older games typically engage me more through higher concentrations of novel ideas or execution of those ideas. I don't really have any data to substantiate this claim more than personal experience, and I'm far from having representative sample sizes of "old" and "new" games for a detailed comparison.

SecondClass · May 10, 2016, 03:53:34 PM

Old Fallouts are great, other than that, new games. I like fast paced stuff like Call of Duty and Just Cause

From what I've seen/heard of Uncharted you might enjoy it.

I'm not really a fan of most third person action/adventure singleplayer games, I just like Just Cause because you can literally fly around the map and shit

I convinced one of my friends to try assaulting a military installation with a bomber. It turns out Bavarium nukes are super effective against said bombers. Have you tried applying boostmines to cows?

Zonda · May 10, 2016, 08:09:33 PM

Both tbh. I still regularly play a lot of games I've had for more than 10 years, and I intend on hosting a Halo Custom Edition dedicated server sometime soon. On the flip side, I enjoy playing my Wii-U a lot, play Halo 5 every time I visit my Brother and any other friends with a current gen console.

Tbh I wish Plug/tray and play was still a thing though. Fuck day 1 patches right off.
