re: #407 Aceofwhat?

The good old days sucked. I spent too much time playing Skyrim this weekend, and it was glorious.

I disagree

I met my partner on a BBS ;-)

I don’t really play many games anymore, except Deus Ex and (eventually) Skyrim (I been an Elder Scrolls geek since Arena and Daggerfall, which was dos days) I sorta prefer the feeling I got from playing games in the old Atari ST/Amiga days, when they were these weird secret things, full of mystery, done by one or three devs in a basement

Now, it’s like CALL OF DUTY NINE: ADVANCED WARHELMET and LETS SHOOT EVEN MORE ZOMBIES BECAUSE YOU GUYS ALL AGREE ON ZOMBIES, RIGHT?!?!?! I’ve discovered I get the feelings of mystery I want, from other things besides games (like music, like art) Games are like hollywood films, made by committee. Indie games are fun, but also sorta their own thing

The more advanced games get, the less interested in them I am :D And the more interested I am in playing guitar and ignoring my Xbox in favor of looking for the feelings of those old games. Because new games are mostly not getting anywhere close to that

Also, Planescape Torment :D 12 years old and counting, still better than anything I have played since, for what I want out of a game. i play it every year or three, still holds up
