Those people have never actually been in public or ridden a train and seen half the people playing video games.

I just like games from all eras. There's never been a year that goes by that at least a few games I've come to totally love have come out.

I still attest that people who have an arbitrary cut off for when it all "went to shit" or whatever aren't really fans of video games they're just fans of nostalgia and video games happen to hit that nostalgia button for them.

Weird. I guess every generation wants their own lingo and that's fine.

I'm not projecting anything. I think the install process for games these days is super easy compared to what it used to be and I think saying modern games all suck because someone can't even be bothered to do that much is ridiculous.

If you just said that it's not your cup of tea that's fine, but you try to make sweeping general statements about the game industry based on just you being lazy.

Really this is all to illustrate to you why I find it hard to take anything you say about modern gaming seriously.

But it's important for him to learn that the things of his parent's generation are objectively better than the garbage that gets made today. If OP doesn't teach the kid some taste, who will????

I just think there's no real joy in nostalgia. It's trying to relive a past joy. Which isn't to say that replaying old games isn't fun, I've been obsessed with Ecco the Dolphin since it came out. It's still one of my favorite games that I nearly always have a play through going at one time or another. But that's because it's always been fun. There's a difference between enjoying things despite them being old and enjoying them because they're old.

But also like I say, that's just my personal opinion. And if someone enjoys they're nostalgia then good for them, and there's no reason they should give half a shit what I think of them.

But by the same token, someone who thinks everything modern is crap is literally a walking joke. And anyone who honestly can't find any modern games they think are great, are not fans of video games. They're fans of nostalgia for video games.
