Sinophile Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I grew up as a gamer, and always had both a PC and at least one gaming system. All of my best memories revolve around gaming sadly. However, it seems that since the current-gen consoles came out, gaming has gotten less appealing, and I am always having a hard time finding something that I actually want to play. Am I simply growing bored of gaming in general, or has gaming simply changed? Do most people naturally prefer games they've played during childhood? Are there any gamers over 30 who say anything along the lines of,"I don't play games with bad graphics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo man Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I'm pretty sure it's getting worse. I remember buying games that I could sink months into and not get bored. Now a game is lucky to survive to a second play-through. I could just be jaded though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Sadly this generation has seen developers blowing most of their budget on shiny graphics and fancy physics, the game itself seems to be an afterthought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderCrazy Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 (edited) jim_uk is correct. The current generation only see a game for the fact it has great graphics.I mean, who would rather play a good game with average graphics when you can play a complete ball of crap with photorealistic graphics enhanced for 3D that has stuff like sun glare, realistic sun rays, SSAO/HDAO, rain effects that'll make you feel like you're getting wet and all that crap./sarcasm Edited January 1, 2011 by CommanderCrazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellsMaster Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Absolutly.. gaming has gone really bad, nowadays it is like jim said, about graphics, physics, sex and, nudity and violence. I remember when i used to play with my mum Stonekeep on the old computer. And the family gaming time on the n64 on zelda and mario :D ah the memories...

TheCalliton Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 i dig black ops though, its a great shooterbut otherwise most new games are lacking... i got SOCOM 3 for the ps2 recently, and it doesnt have super graphics, but it plays excellently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellsMaster Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I beg to differ. Black Ops is nothing near being great. Its gameplay is the same, the story line was cliche. It sold so much just because of the name it have "Call of Duty" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted1744345User Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Indeed the games these days do suck. I still play Star Wars: Empire at War, which is from 2006! It's one of my favorite RTS games, and it seems that only RTS can keep me engaged for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
