Poll: Retro Games VS Modern Games?

Modern by a mile and i am playing games since 1992. Sure i get nostalgia every now and then and sure my favorite game is from 1997 but looking at most genres games progressed quite significantly over the years ( there are some aspects of games though that for some reason they regressed such as level design in fps )

There is the exception of fps games which i prefer retro though

I'll take both, thank you. The oldest game I regularly play is the Sims 3, I think. I used to play Doom (doomsday engine) and Master of Orion 2 a lot though.

Oh wait, I play a lot of Medieval 2.

We got a lot of good stuff "back in the day" - and a lot of garbage. And they used to sell us using "game art" that looked nothing like the actual game - and I don't mean the lighting was less dynamic.

Being presumptious wont help your case.

I prefer games that play well over games that look well.

Games have been progressively getting easier.

Franchise entry vs franchise entry.

Super Mario Bros 1 and 3 vs Super Mario 3D Land and World
Zelda 1 and 2 vs Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess
Wizardry 1 vs Wizardry 8
X-COM vs XCOM
Diablo vs Diablo 3
MGS5 even doesnt let you change difficulty until you beat the game.

Genre then vs Genre now

Platformer: This one has perhaps stayed the same or even gotten harder due to all these Brutal platformers that have come out as of late.
RPG: Wizardry vs Dragon Age Inquisition
Roguelike: Nethack vs Rogue Legacy
Themepark MMORPG: EverQuest vs Guild Wars 2 (and Sandbox mmorpgs like Ultima Online were even more unforgiving)
Strategy: Warcraft: Orcs and Humans vs StarCraft 2
Shooter: Doom vs Call of Duty
Action Adventure: Zelda 1 vs Assassin's Creed

Games have truly progressed, so I'll say modern.

there's some great new games, but can't help but feel the market is contracting, and not just now it was doing it last gen too

Before I answer this question where is the separation of Modern era vs retro era? Is this like a 2d vs 3d thing or is there a different divider.

Depends on what game. I will say I prefer 16 bit games to modern games in general, but that doesn't mean every 16 bit game. Some genres just get better with time like sports games, racers (unless it's GT). Others tend to be hit or miss. But I think with new technology, the potential is there to completely out do everything that's come before it. Just waiting to see it. And bigger landscapes and more detailed facial hair won't cut it.

Retro. I feel theres less creativity in modern gaming. I would also argue that games seem easier compared to games of old.

I don't have many retro games that I can still play today, the onyl ones are Quake 3, Wolfenstein ET, RTCW and that's actually it (NFS Most wanted is still great if you can count that.)

I had more fun with games from last gen.

Yea, due to the decline of AAA and disappearance of the mid tier...

it's gotta be retro.

Guess being born April 25th 1986 is somehow makes me 15 years old??? holy shit people are really dumb.

Spoken like a true window licker

Yes cause clearly I don't have Fallout, Fallout 2, Outcast (I bet 95% of the people on here have no idea what this game is), System Shock 2 on PC, Majoras Mask on my 3DS and FF tactics and FF6 on PSN. Hell I still have my hard copy of Planescape Torment.

English use it

Do you want me to be an ass and point out your grammar errors too?

Anyway, the idiocy of your post aside. You haven't posted a rebuttal to anything we've said. If you played Contra III as an 8 year old and couldn't finish it then, you still won't finish it now. Read the thread about Rare Replay. Some people who never played Battletods back then tried it for the first time now and find it ridiculously difficult. They're not children either.

We're just doing last gen and current gen for modern? Lol ok gonna go with 'retro' then obviously

Retro and it's not even close.
