"ARE GAMES GETTING LESS EXCITING?"

Hi this is my first post so i hope its a good un and know harsh comments on my spelling,im only 15 for crying out loud hahahahah anyway ive felt this way for along time now that games arnt as fun as what games were like for say the 1st next generation games consoles i.e N64,Playstation,ect.
Ya probably think im some kinda idiot but ive been playing games since i was 5 and ive gone thru numerious games consoles(sega mastersystem,nes,snes,gb,gba,n64,ps1,ps2,dc ta name but a few :) and played more than 10,000 games ( no joke a quarter of those i bought and the rest i either played on demo or round my m8s . Rember when games like MGS1 and Final Fantasy 7 was realesed? At the time they were ground breaking , games that when ppl played them gave them weird fellings inside themselves (anxiety Thats why i want to become a games designer, i want to introduce new elements to games,elemnts the shiguoit mimamoto(spelling :)) and hidro Kojomi would be proud of. After palying games for a long time you start ta relise that many games are greatly influenced and as yet the only games cosole i have played which has the most original games for it has benn the dreamcast.Ya may say that ps2 is better and indeed it is but what i said is "original games" which sega make in orbundance.Phantsay Star Online (first online cosole game to break new boudaries ) SHENMUE ( the dearest game ever created and the first game off its kind,forget shadow of memories! ) samda da amigo,chu-chu rocket,crazy taki,virtua tennis,sonic adventure ta name but a few.So to conclude,games devolpers ARE running out of ideas ( just look at MGS 2 s plot for proof of that )why dya think hideo kojimi wants ta get anew devolper for MGS 3? becuasue he knows he has ballsed the whole thing up?! the plot i mean,,,everything else cant be bettred,by no 1 and by no game aahahahahahah anyway what im saying is games devolpers give some of us yougsters to express are fellings on games more and stress games will become better,just look at XBOX when it was being devolped the microsoft buds went round asking questions and surveying local ppl and well just look at the xbox NOW?? huge potential for best console evr !? no joke if it wernt for us, the people the cosole would never have became as cool as it has as is said for every other cosole ever made...............


x-citing

Well, games aren't getting less exiting. In my opinion, games are getting too short for the money you are paying. People treat EB and Game just the same as Blockbuster ,exept they take it put for 16 days and get a full refund. Take MGS2, someone bought it friday, and when I phoned him the next moring, he had been up all night COMPLETING the game! It's the same with many greats such as Shenmue, Max Payne and Medal of Honour.
But the resoloution is far from closeby. Games companies can make the games stupidly short, as long as the consumer remembers the "experience". Only games with great replay value, like GTA3 are ever kept in the average dwindling library. It makes you wonder whether peolple will ever remember the SNES vs. Mega Drive where they released great games to try to gain the better of each other. Now it's just like football. One team(Man U) buys all the freat players whilst the rest have to do what they can. Or remember Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It took me 6 Weeks! THAT is what people mean by lifespan...

Yea, I wasn't sure if it was "upmost" or utmost", guess I chose the wrong one. Damn my tired brain!

And the "utmost." ;)

Damn! I forgot to send some of my Ant colony to untie Tony from the bottom of his bed AGAIN!! I can't believe I forgot, he usually goes to buy his sugar today! Ah well...I guess we'll just have to stick to Totoro's sugar tonight.

Yes, no harm intended. After all, you are a Notable, and therefore deserve the upmost respect;)

And I accept that you were using that as an example, and that in no way is it related to the truth.



I mean, everyone pity's me.

Thank you! And I have to admit, that in similar fashion to Liam, I was typing quickly so couldn't be bothered to hold down the shift button for my iiiis..I'll never do it again;)

Better?

I pity you.

You have a go at Liam for not using proper English, and yet seemingly you don't seem to understand that when referring to yourself, you use a capital I. A normal 'i' doesn't sound right at all.

Here are some examples for you:

"I" went to the cinema.

"I" played my PlayStation, which was much better than N64.

Now, you try that last one.
