    Since games suck these days for the most part due to all these unwanted and unnecessary gimmicks, lifelike realistic graphics being the primary focus of a game over fun and gameplay, almost every game made now is a shooter, multiplayer in every single game, QTEs, DLC, motion controls, 3D, streamlining and casualization (making games simple and easy for simple and stupid people), who else wishes that modern games were like classic games?

    I seriously wish that modern games were like classic games, but just with enhanced graphics and controls. (I MEAN IMPROVED GRAPHICS AND NOT LIFELIKE/REALISTIC GRAPPHHIKKKXX). Video games would be so much better, instead of the suckfest known as modern gaming.

    I wish that Sony would go on doing their own thing like in the past, but with the current industry, they kinda are forced to go with the flow, so to speak. Classic games are superior to modern games and they still have their gameplay intact, before watering down video games for unintelligent people became the norm.

    TLTR version: Video games have become bastardized due to unwanted changes that dumb down games. Video games have devolved for the simple minded, while those wanting a solid video gaming experience are left behind in the dust.

    For me, it depends on the genre. While I like the direction that some genres have taken, I very much wish that JRPGs still played like they did back in the PSX days. They had a greater emphasis on game play and exploration rather than cutscenes that last too long and linear paths.

    I have at least 400 hours put into both games.

    Sorry but 2 games (despite being the best damned video games this gen), does not make up for a video gaming suckfest that has lasted this entire video game console generation.

    Yeah, almost all current gen JRPGs suck, (with a few exceptions). Only good JRPGs this gen are like Lost Odyssey, Valkyria Chronicles, Jeanne D'Arc, Xenoblade, Tales of Graces F, and those are all the great JRPGs this gen. I can count all those on one hand.

    (D Souls series are WRPGs, not JRPGs, which is why I didn't count them)

    It seems like they have just been recycling the same crap with newer graphics the last 15 years.It seems like 90% of games are Mario 64 with new textures.Thankfully theres PC indies and cough*xbox live indies*cough to actually have new ideas and gameplay.

    it would be nice, unfortunately it'll never happen.. i don't understand why they don't just remake some of the old classics such as contra, castlevania *the original* even battle toads could be awesome if done right with enhanced graphics and a cool fighting system, these are the things game corps need to be considering instead of *what other franchise can we shove mp into*

    If you think that all games this gen focus on graphics over gameplay and fun, you're not looking very hard.

    Not all, but most retail games. Because, unfortunately, many new gamers, think that the quality and fun of a game is determined by gr0phFFIIIXXKSSsss.

    Some companies cannot even do that right. (see TMNT on PSN, and newer classics such as Silent Hill (HD collection)).

    Oh and when they do something, like Goldeneye, everyone gets all excited and thinks it will be the same, but with improved graphics and controls and physics, but are disappointed and cry when it turns out that their beloved game was actually reinvented as something else that has nothing to do with the original and ends up sucking because of it. Why are video game companies so god damned stupid?

    The problem is, in many cases of people's anger the cause is that someone only sees the bad in someone or something. In these scenarios a very good way to mitigate one's anger is tofocus on the good. Many of us grew up with the same games and have played many of the same games up to this point so why do some of us have drastically different outlooks and different levels of intensity when discussing video games? We are all different but that can't be used as an excuse.Some may say their anger is justified because what they are saying is true. This however is a very dangerous line of thinking and if spread toward other areas of life it will bring pain and sadness to anyone involved.

    Shang, I have spoken out on GameFaqs for years about current gen devs ruining video games. I just do not know of a more productive way than to get the message out about how sucktastic video games have been lately.

    We should start some sort of crusade, like, "Occupy Video Game Movement". 99% of current gen games are casualized multiplayer gimmick crap.

    i blame the internet more than anything, cause its the net which gave these greedy bastards the ability to do things like force multiplayer on everyone and release half a game then charge more money for the rest.. i knew years ago that videogames and the internet don't mix, one word... CAPCOM! the best example i can give.. need i say more? lol

    I don't troll. Maybe you should stop trolling.

    I only tell it like it is, and saying that a red object is red, for example, isn't trolling. Also, just because you don't agree with someone also does not mean they are trolling.

    Also funny how MOST PEOPLE IN THIS TOPIC AGREE WITH ME!!!!!! And not you. So sorry. What I say is true because it is true.


    No idea what SW is. Star Wars?

    So, go troll somewhere else. Good day.

    I think alot of the love for classic games is mainly just nostaligic. If we were to play them today, they wouldn't actually be that good. That said, I do enjoy many simple 2D SHMUPS.
