Why did that fucker have to troll in my thread? Now I feel urged to reply. Seriously, you want a mature discussion? Then stop being a naive, ignorant and whiny bitch.
First of all, we're here to discuss and having this free speech forum here, things can get ugly. Deal with it or get the fuck out. Obviously you're used to forums where people share your opinions, or your relativism. Either way, it's different here, so you either have to present something to back up your opinion - or get the fuck out. And no, "Everybody and his dog is entitled to have an opinion" doesn't count.
Then, you seem to really think and be fond of the thought that we like/hate games out of nostalgia. I'm not old enough to be nostalgic about anything. The first time I played most of the old classics they have already been old. Still, I prefer these games to most released, say, post 2001. Games back then had different things going for them and it's not such a huge leap in logic to assume that this is exactly what we like about them. You've got to be close minded as fuck to be unable to acknowledge that simple fact. I know one thing for sure - I don't play a game for 60 hours because I feel nostalgic about it, but because it keeps me glued to the keyboard. And I don't shove off games to ebay, selling them for half of what I paid just because I don't feel nostalgic about it. Now, let's ignore the fact that I haven't played a 60 hours long game for ages and that I haven't bought many recent games for a variety of reasons. This fact remains: I don't play games to be thrown back in time - I play to be entertained. And the pleasure I get out of a game isn't bound to visual requirements which rise with every new game that's being released. While I need a certain minimum, I need more than just that. And most games nowadays don't have that little extra, so in my opinion, they are shit. And from all I've seen, Fallout 3 is just that - while Fallout is not.
Last but not least, hardly anybody will take you seriously if you keep on spewing bullshit like "I accept how games evolved, and that they're appealing for more people, unlike the past when video games were frowned upon.". There's nothing wrong with games appealing to more people. But there's something wrong if every games has to appeal to everybody. And there's something absolutely wrong if a game of a certain series doesn't appeal to the fans of the series. Or: "Don't you see that there are still people who love how gaming is now a days, and that new people are joining the gaming community. Sure, on the internet, on certain forums, everyone may say one thing, and on other forums they may say the complete opposite, as I'm noticing." Is that like some reviewers do, hype a game now and proclaim it's perfect, just to criticize certain aspects two years later when it doesn't hurt sales anymore - 'cause all those new kids on the block wouldn't ever go back to those ugly, old and unplayable games without having their precious eyes burned out.
Whatever. Get the fuck out.
