Games are alike everything we use and play in the world, they are given a rating, commented on, and then left for the public to buy and decide, however it has come to my attention that with these ratings and what-nots, can gaming actually get better then what we have already had?


I really am not to sure, when we find a game we love, these games only come once every few years, but I really couldn't say which was my best game comparing Secret Of Mana and Zelda Ocarina of Time, thinking about it I played and received the same levels of enjoyment from both games, hell if I was to go with one it would denfinetely be the Snes Classic because with a multitap and a couple of friends 'nothing' beats it for gameplay and lastibility.


Therefore I really can't see us being that much more amazed in the games we play in the future, sure they can have superb graphics, because they will always get better, but for all other aspects of the game I can't see me enjoying anything in the future more than the old classics first time around.


Games in the future better be worth the wait, its been a long time (CBFD the exception) since I was trying to pick my mouth of the floor when playing a game, nothing in the past twelve months has impressed me that much... and I hope something does in the future, because I have waited long enough!

Thanks

It's a Gameaday and it IS claimed. I chose Zelda GC and it's been confirmed by Joe, but because it isn't out for AGES the list is just going to stay as Please Claim! So, for anyone else who is thinking about telling me that I have an unclaimed GAD, I DON'T!

If I get a game I think it has to have a good stooryline and good gameplay but when I turn it on and the visuals are hard to make out because they are all blocky and unsmooth it just makes me not want to play!

All it means is smoother gradients, but above 32bit it gets hard to notice.

You do know, don't you, that 128 bit just

Faster conversion rates.
Higher resolution
Dot-to-dot imaging
Reduced Visual Pixalation

Basically it just gets better to look at.
