we are living in a time where arcade games are marketed as highly sophisticated flightsims , where FPS games are marketed as strategic wargames and old fashioned platform games are marketed as advanced deeply immersive and involved roleplaying games
the latest Eldersscromm skyrim lost alot of its grandeur compared wwith earlier releases like Oblivion , tho it is still one of the better games of last year
Give me back my old baldur s gate or my Silent hunter 3 , or the masters of Orion 2 or my Homeworld or my civilasation III

edit i forgot one of the greatest game ever pharaoh , best city sim ever , i probably wasted months of my life trying to balance and build the best and greatest cities ever
To be fair though, a lot of new games are actually very good. But they are for the most part not made by big studios, but small indie companies and small studios.
Problem is, you don't hear too much about them. |

Oh, and I keep coming back to play Bindings of Isaac. :-) Great game.
Pretty much this. I think that except both Starcrafts, SW tie figther is the game i have played more hours in my life. Exceptional graphics (for the time) very LOOOONG campaing. Nice history, complex missions. Increasing difficulty.
I would play again if the graphics were remade to current standards (even to X-wing alliance standards) and support pan view.
Nothing can compare in skill to cleaning a minefield in an unshielded tie interceptor. I made money in the school, just finishing that mission for my school mates :D

Speaking of Final Fantasy games, check this article out:
http://megagames.com/news/final-fantasy-vii-could-get-updated-pc-re-release
Not sure if it would be a good thing or a bad thing. If it kept all the content and the length of the game and the dialog a good thing maybe. But im sure they will cut ALOT out to fit with modern day suckage of games.
Dont think even with the fancy graphics it would be better than the original FF7 |

According to me, a loooooooooooooooong time ago we played games mainly outside.
So the difficult level was set to make the games last more so you could die and you put another coin in the machine... at least i am talking about the arcade games (shoot'em u, beat'em up and such). The home version of those games were more or less the same just with poor graphic. The rpg, fps and other kind of games that couldn't play outside tried to keep the difficult settings of the arcade because... we were used to hard games, and because in general games weren't that long so being difficult they could last longer :P
..and because 99% of the people who played were children. And children have a lot of time :P
Now we have very powerful consoles and pc, the kids who played have grown up and maybe they have less time to dedicate to this hobby... if they are looking for the story maybe they want to play but don't want to be stressed because they can't get beyond a point since it's just "too hard".
Nevertheless there are good hard games also nowadays... just they are not that common. |

I wouldn't say that video games these days are of poorer quality - I would just say that they are different. It's just part of a generational gap. |

Yep. Also legends like Monkey Islands etc.. Oh boy, those were the days. Maybe its the time we were living, maybe it was the time when you just stare the case of the game and were totally amused of look of it and thought something like ''THIS GAME MUST BE GOOD''.
You know, the most greatest feeling after all, was that you managed to load and play that friggin C60 casette game in your commodore after waiting 10min staring screen which were the flashing colorful lights that may have cause a goddamn braindamage for the people living on 80's. Individuals that werent convulsing on the floor having some majeure epilepsy strokes, it was all fine.. Those games - well the training of grande patiency - is most likely one of the reasons why we love EVE online. ;)

Is it just me or is every single game released since Xbox360 and PS3 hit the market, been so god damn easy and mostly focused on eye candy?
I am a major fan of Abe Oddysee/Exoddus and then some little sneaky news on Steam said they were re-making it over but in HD, then I read further and as soon as I read the part that said
"It stresses that this will be a new game, to be shown off later this year. It later clarified that while this project is starting "from scratch," it's using the original game as a blueprint."
I for one would pay -ú30 for a HD version of the EXACT same game, levels, characters, story. Remakes of classics have happened many times and all they end up being is broken down versions with shiny graphics.
I wish I was back in the days of N64 and PS1 :(
Abes Oddysee/Exodus were pretty easy, but maybe that's just me. I really love platformers. Have you tried Super Meat Boy? |

I have yeah, i find it pretty easy. More of an annoyance than anything.
I also would not say Abe was HARD but it certainly was not easy to save all 99 little dudes. or 78 since the first 22 die and you cant do **** due to you escaping.
Its all about doing the right stages of the level in the right order with good timing, if you dont do that you cant save everyone lol

haha old games, then mention PS1 etc :D
You kids. You'll never know the pains of pixel perfect jumps with instant deaths and 20minute load times. Never understand the concept of entering games and having no tutorials, no help. Games having no play testing and being riddled with bugs and difficulty spikes from start to finish. No concept of fairness, No "well you were close enough congratulations you win". You either did it perfectly or you failed. Boss fights and encounters that killed you instantly without any warning. Random deaths from sprung invisible traps. No checkpoints. No health regeneration. No saving (of any type).
We were taught patience and humility at the hands of our games. When we mastered a game we had the right to be proud. Looking at the millions of people plebbing away on WoW-a-clones now-a-days and the "elitists" of those games proclaiming their mastery makes me laugh. They seem like kids bashing away at their brightly coloured Whack-a-mole Fisher Price toy. "Good job Timothy" says their parent with an obvious air of despondency. "Please stop biting the cat." sigh.

 While certainly not new I don't see Goldeneye, Sonic or Mario being old or even difficult. The original paper boy however was difficult I'll give you that one. Goldeneye was difficult if you tried to complete all the challenges. Much like Rare's Blastcorps was difficult if you wanted to get Platinum in every level.
I heard lots of people mention the old final fantasy's as being difficult Yet no mention of Final Fantasy Tactics? The Sephiroth's of the standard FF's can run scared from FFTactics mini bosses. Even to this day the name Gafgarion makes me hide under my desk.

funny that this thread come up..............i was reading the pcgamer #229 edition and one of the article is about making old games work on current OS . they were discussing about DOSBox / D.O.G and VMware and VirtualBox to mount old Oses.
As for console games i have limited experience with them although i own ps2 - i would love to play the FPS on them but im more of a mouse and keyboard kind of guy |
