Anyone else remember when video games were actually fun?

[jalamanta]

Its true, all this "mature, realistic" shyt took out the imagination and the fun out of games. Just because the average gamer is 32 years old doesn't mean that 90% of the profitable games must be the stereotypical GTA/ COD/GoW/ Halo nonsense that took over this gen. The likes of Mario and Sonic (yes, he is making good games again) are the first, and last, platformers in the market that people recognize. We need games that challenge our imagination and our minds, mainly single player. Less guns, more creativity.

What new Sonic games are you talking about breh? I think I need them in my life.

dreamcast to me was the end an era.

absolutely amazing system filled with the most creative fun games. but it failed and gaming hasnt been the same since.

So games these days aren't fun????

these games is off the chain right now brehs, ya'll trippin' and I love the old school shyt just as much as the next guy. I got the emulators poppin' off too. But cotdamn stop it. ya'll really gonna try and say that this generation ain't been poppin'. There's damn near a nice release every other week. Even Xbox live arcade has some simpler arcade games that are easy to pick up and play.

-I was gonna ride with this thread but nah I can't front on some of this shyt that's getting released these days. shyt I'll still pop in Syrim when I have some free time.. I haven't even gotten to Lara Crafts, The latest Gears Of War, The new Bioshock, etc etc etc of the world. shyt ya'll ain't playing 'Injustice Gods Among Us'? that game should satisfy every old school head and arcader

[AJW]

Them days when you would just pop in Tony Hawks pro skater, waz out your cheat codes and just play for hours

the problem is theirs no balance,instead of being able to say for every cod theres a crazy taxi,its for every cod theres a cod clone. no creativity anymore.

I swear video games now a days are either all cut scenes or games where you gotta spent countless hours doing meaningless shyt.

I knew I was kind of done with video games when I played Fallout after all the praise. The fukk I look like spending 2 hours looking through lockers and cabinets

Now even the sports games are too real, I tried playing the new 2k and dribble the ball off my own foot like 3 times It's too much now I just wanna dumb out and have fun

man that gamewas unbearable

Playing HORSE with my friends and everyone getting a letter after I pulled off the 900'



Also I had a friend who would play "MLB Triple Play 97"' and right before I pitch the ball, he would press in the "automatic homerun" code and BUNT A HOMERUN!





good times @MrTV4

[Filthy McNasty]

Alot of yall issues will be solved if you brought a 3ds

This.

I've been eating well this past month off Luigi's Mansion, Fire Emblem, & Monster Hunter 3...

I've been playing video games since 1984...Skyrim, Uncharted, Warhawk, the Phoenix Wright series, among others are some of the best games I've ever played - so I can never shyt on this generation.

I think games are still fun. the story and gameplay makes it fun for me. Graphics not a big deal for me. I think difficulty and replay value of older games/systems play a factor for example

1. Couldn't save games You just had to start from scratch every time and you WANTED to see the next level or beat the game. It was like a mission in its self. you were always working toward something. Some of us tried that leave the system on while im at school/church trick but when we got caught

2. Games was just hard as shyt cuz of the technology and you had to damn near master every game to get past certain parts. How many of yall got snes, nes, and genesis games damn near memorized? all yall
(That second stage in the lion king on genesis)
plus you knew when you had one life x00 you was finna see dat title screen. There was no such thing as unlimited lives. i remember my homeboy told me tomb raider had unlimited lives and i thought he had a code lol


3. the experiences arent new. after 007 fps's was that crack. but now some of us tired of it. after gta3 some ppl got tired of shootin cops in the face.

 

[Black White Sox Hat]

I'm telling you cop a genesis or snes.I got a genesis.We had some battles on OG Joe Montana football(first one) last night.Still holding up since 19 fukking 90.

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

i agree, now when i start up a game i got to download some gay ass 125mb update, remember when you could just enter cheats to be all powerful?

i miss those days

This.

I'm a busy man so sometimes all I want to do is kill a bunch of baddies like an omnipotent god. One of my favorite games this gen was DMC4 and a lot of people hated it but I wish I could just put it on max enemies and infinite life sometimes.

Just destroying demons for hours on end.
No puzzles either.

I'm thinking about copping Dead Rising again because that shyt was mad fun and I never finished it. But I don't feel like dealing with all that running from place to place. I just want dat chainsaw and a mall full of zombies.

 

[Ineedmoney504]

most of yall really just sound like yall trash in gaming and shyt, lol i want cheat codes, i never even played wit them shyts in the ps1 or 2 days, im good, i rather stay where we are
