well i don't think my say to the discussion will really matter; i just wanted to say i miss the old times.
sure, it's all very natural, with how mainstream video games start to be and it's starting to be a very profitable business. well, maybe i can't be all too objective because i haven't experienced the 80s gaming firsthand (i'm only 18), but it was something different in the 90s; i was a kid all excited about every new game i could play. it's not that way now, i hardly play games anymore. sometimes i just pop in some oldie to get all nostalgic - which feels nice - but i rarely play a brand new game. and if so, it's mostly games that have originally been made for the consoles, like, say, the silent hill or resident evil series. it's funny really.
not to say that the new games are really 'bad' for most part, of course. for me, they don't suck; i just got a bit out of it all and the new releases are not that much fun for me as they were 10 years ago. i still prefer the first resident evil over the last one, for instance.
sure, the gaming industry's changed a lot over the past few years, but maybe that's the case with others too?
and if not, i guess this post didn't really matter, as said earlier..
