Also, I wonder if I know you, Icewolf. Have you ever played Dransik before?[/b]

No, sorry. I'd actually like to make that nick copyrighterd for me, but I guess that's pretty much pointless...

I'm not an online gamer at all. But I think I'll become one if I find the time.

EDIT: Maybe I'm a moron here - was this actually an invitation...?

Oh, no, you're not an idiot. LOL. I was asking because I made a friend on Dransik (which is now called Ashen Empires) some six or eight years ago, except it was actually Iceword o'Delik instead of just Icewolf.

I was just curious. Oh, don't bother copyrighting the name, he's Finnish so it won't really affect him, unless you can get one over there ;p

Exactly. So to them a game like Medal of Honour will represent something like (let's say) C&C represented to us. It's not the matter of which game is better, it's about capturing the spirit of the generation that grows up with it.

And we're not growing up with games anymore, which does in a way alienate us from what is currently made.

I disagree. There are many games that are new that I love playing and will actually sometimes come back to.

For example, Morrowind. How old is that now? 4 or 5 years? At any rate, it's not that old, yet I've found myself playing that over again before. I loved the system and everything, and the graphics are far better than all of the older games. The graphics are nice, but again the gameplay had me enthralled.

Another game that I loved to death was Half Life 2. It had awesome graphics and sweet gameplay, but unfortunately a far too linear storyline. The exploration was good, though, as it didn't feel I was just going in a straight line. I've beaten it thrice so far, my last time being last year.

Resident Evil 4. Ho, man! Sure, it's not a PC game, but it's a console game with FLAIR. It's not too old still yet it's my favorite Gamecube game- I can think of several older games that I would pass up to play RE4 simply because the graphics, gameplay and story all scare the crap out of me, and I love it to death. I've beaten it three times.

My point, though, is that games aren't necessarily losing quality; it's just that the games with quality are fewer and farther inbetween. I've beaten Fable one time on the XBox and tried to play it again on the PC but found myself unable to play for longer than 30 minutes. Personally I loved the game, but the way the game works just doesn't interest me as much as other games because you end up at the same place no matter what way you develop your character. *shrug*


That's my take on it. I was interrupted a lot while trying to type this out so if it seems as though I'm rambling incoherently then feel free to ask questions (or point and laugh).
