I miss the people that played a game to play the game. I miss old school games. No nerfs, no pay to play DLC, no kids crying about this and that being OP. You played to play. Gamers used to post videos and comments about cool things they did or achievements. Now people play one game of PVP and go straight to the forums to whine because they were out gunned. It's pathetic.
Anyone else feel the same or am I alone is this?

I used to break into some of the APPLE ][e games and make my own changes :)

I started with the Sears Pong set top with the light rifle in about 1980. Just a short time later I had an Atari 2600. I went nuts. Oddessy II Colecovision Atari Computer (hand me down) NES SNES N64 PC gaming got thrown into the mix around 1988 or so with my first PC, the x086 XT clone and Leisure Suit Larry In The Land Of The Lounge Lizards. When mom saw my character hook up with a hooker I was done with that... haha. I quit gaming for about 10 - 15 years after I had kids. First game I played after all that was Halo 3. Now here I am. I guess I still play and enjoy games for what they are and try to ignore most of the complaining.

1 RespuestaIt hasn't changed you -blam!-in noob. Mmorpg's have always been this way even if destiny isn't a MMO. It is. Bungie has it constantly evolving

Editado por Hippo_Legacy: 5/15/2015 3:29:42 AMThis is what happens when companies target children for their games. Destiny, based on the grimoire, should be much darker and have been given an M rating like Halo, but they decided to tone it down and give it a T, why? To target children, when you've got children playing competitive MP this is what happens. They aren't emotionally mature enough to handle getting shit on (neither are some adult gamers sadly) so they get on here and bitch and blame everything except their own gameplay for their loss.

Anyone still have a Super Nintendo with super Mario 2 & 3 games?

I blame it on lean six sigma. It starts with the product maker, and extends into the consumer. We live in a sales driven world now, and culture is waste.

How old are you guardian? What do you know of the 'good old days' of gaming?
-
One reason I totally destroyed the competition in Halo 2 was because I would run around collecting all the BR ammo. This was when everyone started with SMG's. I would also dual wield and SMG and a Magnum. (Who remembers that op combo). I always remember the feed back, asking Bungie to address the balance. Hardly any whining or complaining. Good times, good times.
-
in my day you had one game with multiple variations of that same game and you got it when you bought a new color tv for the first time. Magnavox... the first game console even before atari or pc games existed.
-
2 RespuestasSocom 2. If anyone knows what im talking, the BEST 3rd person shooter hands down. That was also the most addicting game ever too. We use to TV stack the shit outta that game & run game battles. Good times.

Moonstone on Amiga, only one difficulty, might as well have been called "you don't stand a -blam!-ing chance"
-
3 RespuestasLol, gamers posting videos? In the 'good old days' of gaming, there were not any internet videos. Games were cartridges, not discs. The best graphics were found in an arcade cabinet, not a console.
-
Yes, I miss the good ol' days...

1 RespuestaYep it's true. When you bought a game you got what you got. If there was a bug, the bug stayed. And there were no regular patches tweaking things or adding new changes all the time based on player feedback. Console games didn't get expansions or DLC to expand the world. Imagine if Ocarina of Time on N64 got expansions and new dungeons to explore. Nowadays a great game can get new content to be even better but still people are never happy. And you paid more for those games back then too, getting a faction of the content you get now. An N64 game back in the early 90's was around $80, which would be $100+ in today's dollars if you factor in inflation. We pay less for games now that cost millions and millions more to develop than those games did. Yet people complain it's too much or that their $70 entitles them to more and more and more and more all the time. Gamers today are spoiled rotten, and we have such easy access to developers through forums like this that many feel entitled to getting things their way and that developers should bend to their every demand. It's a sad state of gaming right now, even though games are bigger and better than ever.

I do miss the days of having a "complete game".
