Care to put your cheddar where your mouth is? I downloaded the following games and found that I could not enjoy them.
Super Mario Bros 3
Link to the Past
Resident Evil 1, 2
Soul Reaver: Legacy of Kain
Silent Hill
Super Metroid
This sure puts me in my place... how, exactly? If I could "put my cheddar where my mouth is" just by spouting off random/well-known games I like or dislike,
I could ride my waves of cheddar to the moon and die from lack of air. But at least I'd be stinking rich.
Are you trying to prove a point by saying you don't like popular old games? Just... just really? Is that your argument? Would you like me to be the old timey fart to your new age youngin' and say I hate well-known current generation games? 'Cause I don't. I like Super Mario Bros. I like Halo. I just have the brain power to comprehend things change. Sometimes they advance, sometimes they don't. Older things aren't shit just because they're old. Newer things aren't awesome just because they're new.
I'm not won over just by realistic graphics. I'm not won over just because of nostalgia factor. A game has to have both these things to be considered a good game - and age doesn't have to have anything to do with it, unless you're biased. If shiny graphics make the game for you - good for you! As long as you go about your merry way and be pop flyin' and let everyone be pop flyin' to, I don't give a shit. See, now, if you were just saying "Graphics are the make-or-break... for
me" I'd be keeping my filthy whore mouth shut. But that's not what your saying. You're free to change your mind, or specify what that's what you were saying now. But at this point in time, after all this arguing, it doesn't look like that was your original intention at all.

Its just you're likely to mention your (current) favourite game ever the most.
What?
What? How can you argue newer = better and graphics are a huge factor of games when you list things like various sequels and World of Warcraft?! You realize that sequels use pretty much the exact same graphics as their previous games, right? As in they didn't get any better
even though they were newer games in the series? And WoW... just... wow. WoW utilizes the "lowest" of graphics so more people can play it! Because
it's supposed to be about the gameplay!I can't even... wrap my head around this. You downplay gameplay and then list things that succeed because THEY IMPROVE OR FOCUS ON THE GAMEPLAY as your favourites! Or are those supposed to be examples proving your point? Because I REALLY fail to see it.

Alright, on what level is, say, A Link to the Past better than Okami? It loses on sound and graphics right off the bat. It loses on story soon after. And for the gameplay - you can see where this is heading.
You still haven't given an answer to why these games are better apart from saying "they're older, and that makes trhem better"
I want to punch you in the throat until you stop breathing.
I just... I can't even... IF YOU DIDN'T ENJOY A GAME IN THE FIRST PLACE - SAY, SUPER MARIOS BROS 3 - WE CAN'T BLOODY EXPLAIN TO YOUR ITS PROS AND CONS, NOW CAN WE? WE CAN'T EXPLAIN HOW THE GAMEPLAY WAS AMAZING AND A STEP FORWARD FOR GAMING TO SET AN EXAMPLE FOR OTHERS - YOU DIDN'T SEE IT EVEN BEFORE YOU CAME TO YOUR DECISION THAT GRAPHICS AND NEW TECHNOLOGY ARE THE ULTIMATE QUALITY MAKER.
ARE YOU GOING TO EXPLAIN TO A LACTOSE INTOLERANT PERSON THE PROS AND CONS OF MILK?
NO, BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FUCKING DRINK IT ANYWAYS!
Oh my fucking
god.
