Considering that I am a legacy gamer by the definitons of this website..I would have to say no. I mean, so many people in the "mainstream" of gaming think anything that came out a year ago is old news.

Well, to me, the older a game is, the more likely I am of not only buying it, but being able to enjoy it because it hasn't been through the nonsense that this generation of gaming has put forth. Lets take Sonic 2 as an example. Sonic 2 had huge expectations, not unlike the expectations on Fable 2 and Gears 2. The difference between those two and Sonic is the people at sega were focused on making a purely fun game. They didn't have to realy worry about how the online features were going to work or meeting a quota for number of NPC's in a game.

I think that a lot of the older games that were more geared in this way; where fun was over all, were made better because the developers didn't have the over-the-top expectations of a "right-now, online, intense, kill em all" base that is just setting themselves up for failure. I was once a part of that culture. I have preordered three games and, in my opinion all three fell short of my expectations (but one wasn't the game's fault). But going back to play those games now, I seem to get a lot more out of them because I don't have the same redunkulous expectations.

To me, the less expectations you have for any type of mass media, the more you are going to enjoy it. An old chinese proverb said "It isn't hard to jump over something on the ground"
