The Official "Modern Gaming Stinks" Thread of Nostalgia-Vision

Title courtesy of 1PMrFister.

Don't like modern games? Think the "good old days" were and still are better? Talk about it here to save the rest of us from this tired subject.

Modern threads are bad, I liked them better in the good old days.

Bunch of sell-outs nowadays.

Is this thread a joke or a serious topic to discuss? I'm confused.

I think modern threads are really... [Please purchase 15$ DLC to see the rest of this post].

This is a great idea.

It's a joke that has ligitmate use! The best of both worlds.

I suppose so? :/

My 'Nostalgia-Vision VR' (TM) headset is awesome, with full 8-bit colour running at 4Mhz!!

:cool:

Sometimes a thread comes along that defines a website. this might be one of them.

And I was only semi-serious about both the thread and the title. :P

So, you're pretty much taking a piss on people that have legit points and concerns about the direction the gaming industry has taken? Duly noted dear mod. This is kinda a new low for the gamespot forums, that is sayin' something.kaealy

What's the point in being on a forum if we can't poke a little fun? Wasn't ever meant to be an insult toward those with reservations toward modern gaming. (My apologies if it came off that way.) Just thought it'd be a good way for the folks to blow off some steam. This place is so damn serious most of the time. We could use more goofy threads.

Besides, if it really does take off as a thread for folks to discuss the subject in, then all the better. We've gotten such a large number of threads decrying the state of the industry that it had gotten tiresome, especially when they were all mostly reiterating the same points. If this cuts down on thread redunancy, then hey -- everyone wins!

^ Beat me to it! :x

Lighten up. This wasn't meant to piss on the Nostalgia gamers. If you've been following the happenings of PGD for the past few weeks, "modern gaming stinks" threads have been popping up like weeds. Most of them offered little to no legitimate points and just sparked heated debates that ended up turning into a mudslinging contest. Now with this thread, those same people who start those kinds of threads can come here and talk amongst each other. And they can spare us who don't share their sentiments from this horse that has been beaten to death.

So far, there are only people making jokes, but give it time. Maybe some discussion will come about.

The opening post should be "Don't have the money to keep up with modern gaming? B*tch about how much modern gaming sucks here!"Black_Knight_00

Someone call heewee over here from system wars. :lol:

.

Game developers used to not care about money and their games were only a means to prove how artistic they could be.

Stupid modern casual/hand holding/ coporate asshats/ mountain dew and doritos etc.

I just want you to back up you statement in some meaning way?

:lol: c_rake must be tired of moderating threads like this.

On subject, I think both time periods (current and days of old) are a bit over-rated in general.

Oh, I thought you were being sarcastic.

I wasn't serious at all, as I thought poking fun at such viewpoints was the entire point of this thread.  

Ah, the days of my youth. Like the scent of fresh lemon...

He actually sent me the following PM before he was banned:

Just wanted to remind you how horribly DmC sold, which it barely broke half a million sales. Nobody liked it and it flopped so hard that the series is most likely dead forever and the future is not looking bright for Ninja Theory. Maybe you should not have such mediocre taste. Does it hurt you deeply that DmC flopped like a big floppy fish out of water?

Oh, in your blog you also say, "God bless", so that means that you believe in God, so you might want to refrain from insulting my intelligence in the future. 

You are much better off leaving the forums forever, you super troll. Fact is that when you new casual gamers ruin games with your new styles of mediocre games, you ruin games for people who have been playing games for longer than you have.

You are the one in the wrong, so go away and never return. 

I think I may keep that PM for posterity.

Would you mind boiling down the 30 minute video into a paragraph or two?

Man, that's way tamer than the stuff he sent me.

He's like the "Don't tase me, bro!" guy of video games (Holy crap, that reference is outdated).

Wait, he actually sent inflammatory PMs to a mod? :|1PMrFister

He never sent PMs. It always through outside sources. Like this post through Twitter:

You are a ****ing ugly little **** and you should kill yourself. Oh and don't think you can stop me from creating a new accnt!

He went on like that for a while.
