personally, i think the gameplay mechanics of many modern games are dreadfull, to the point of unplayability, im not impressed by modern graphics either, oh sure, they are technically accomplished in terms of lighting range and pixel numbers, but because many are designed to run on consoles, wich i am sorry to say are well and truly out of date technologically compared to even an average current PC, they also suffer from Blinding lens flaring and serious "jaggies" due to a lack of AA, as well as a dog slow 30 FPS frame cap that leads me to think that some older PC titles on IDtech III (SOF II) and Lithtech Jupiter (NOLF 2) look better, as they took advantage of PC processing power, and have a higher frame cap, up to 5 level anti aliasing, and dont blind you with lens flaring.

also, list what you want crisosphinx, if the trolls dont like it, just block em, when they dont get any attention, they will soon toddle of back to xbox live. i dont hide the fact that i still play a ton of classic titles, heck i was playing the original rise of the triad (and the shareware episode: "the HUNT begins" at that) only this morning, and you shouldnt hide the fact you still love old games either. if the modern game lovers dont like it, that is their problem. not yours.

heck. i want you to list your fave old games, see if we have any faves in common!

Sure thing. Now, again, I agree with what you said, but I also like some new games. I particularly like the mechanics and graphics in new games because, well, I'm a game designer (just beginning my career). You can still find games without lensflare, setting aside games like Battlefield 3, COD, MW, and any other shooter in recent days. Battlefield 2 had great mechanics, but lack of significant lighting, lack of realism, but emphasis on good game play and it's mechanics. It's just more technical.

For example, Binding of Isaac is great 2D- topdown game. You'd probably like it, with it's roots in Legend of Zelda. It's gorey though.

I'll open up a separate thread later with my favorite games. Most of which I can't play now due to my computer being overly powered.



Also, if we open up a thread talking about old games, would you mind if we just keep all the old game talk there? I don't want other people getting angry at you for little to no reason (yes, everyone, I consider the fighting you're all doing about WoW, a tiny, insignificant reason).
