[QUOTE="H_M_1"]If you two don't like current gaming then play on an Atari or N64 or PS1 and don't play PS3 at all. If you wanna debate, bring some solid proof that this generation of gaming sucks or else don't bother at all, rather than forcing people to agree with your lame comments.soundcellx

why does everyone keep mentioning nastalgia anyways? what exactely does that have to do with this discussion?

Don't let nostalgia get the best of you. True, I do hold a soft spot for the early PS1 titles and the entire PS2 era, but games these days are progressing and advancing. A lot of games do their genre really well. Every generation has some hits and misses, but what I will say about this generation is that I'm glad that online play has become a standard. Before, it was hard for me to play multiplayer games with anyone local because most of my friends didn't play the games that I liked to play. But thanks to online gaming, I can play with people all over the US and the world. However, I still have my PS1 and PS2 and my collection of games for both, so if I feel like experiencing simpiler times, I just play them.:)

soundcellx- i hear ya man, u should see how i play that game, i play like a kill crazed psycho who can't be stopped! only people i let live are the pedestrians.. lmfao Deus Ex is the perfect example of just how awesome a game can be when its not held back by stupid crap like multiplayer, Deus Ex had no mp what-so-ever leeching off it which is the ONLY reason it did so well, had they shoved mp into it like every other shooter i garantee u it would have sucked balls and we wouldn't be talking about it right now.. see games like this are the reason i'm just dumb founded sometimes trying to understand why so many game devs can't learn from this and just STOP FORCING MULTIPLAYER INTO EVERYTHING! seriously it just makes me shake my head in confusion... we don't need it!!! game devs need to wake up and realise this!!!

Getting angry at someone over something can make us look like fools if we don't have all the facts and even moreso if we don't even know the thought process involved in the actions that led to our being angry. Imagine that we're sleeping and the doorbell rings at 2:00 A.M., we would then ignore it in hopes that it will stop. The doorbell rings more and more and then we yell at the top of our lungs to this person and tell them to go away. The stranger calls out to us and says "Your house is on fire!" Now would we still be angry at this stranger?

Very few will agree, and since you can't get enough of trolling about "generic games with gunz" maybe you should take up another hobby, because quite frankly nobody cares in the vast majority who enjoy linear and shooting games :roll:

soundcellx

Anyhow, if nobody agrees, there's like 5 or so other people aside from myself who feel somewhat of the same way as me in this topic.



You are saying that you enjoy shallow linear shooting games? Why don't you like games with more content and options? Games that let you do what you want to do? Instead you are constrained with severe limitations on your game and aside from multiplayer, the linear campaign is like 5 hours long.

Who the F could possibly like that?

First, don'T feed the trolls, if you reply ... you fell in the trap.

Second, i don't see your point. Different games for different tastes. I don't like hockey and football games ... desn't mean they are bad games.

What gives this impression is probably that longer developpement time for your game type, and the multiplication of game types as diminished the ration of your game type in the total game pool.

Casuals have as much the right to like games as we do.

Sadly, being more numerous the casual market as attacted too much attention from devs. Until they realise that more casual gamers do not always equal more sales (they called casuals for a good reason ... they don't buy 3-5 games a month ) we will see a higher ratio of games aimed towards them.

The consistant big sellers are not casual games, except maybe for mario titles.

As far as i'm concerned to real problem is the multiplication of gaming platform. Nintendo Ds, Wii, Wii U, PS3, PsVita, PsP, Ps2, Xbox360, Iphone, Ipad, Ipod, PC, MAC, etc.

Devs end up programming for too many platforms to reach a correct amount of customers, which makes developpement time and costs skyrocket.

Modern games are not as appealing as past games...yes Demon's/Dark Souls is addicting, but I have gone back to games such as WoW...Diablo 2....CS:Source....Half Life series...etc....because those games are fun. Most games nowadays focus on a cinematic experience which was amazing at first but they feel that multiplayer will keep the game alive. I prefer single playr over multiplayer depending on the type of game. I even went back to Symphony of the Night and MediEvil because I love classic games like those.
