What games do you prefer, new ones or old ones?? ( reply )

no matter how great new games look i always find myself going back to the 2D RPG's where you have to read every word very little video, great story line. New games are always coming out and making the new games old i love my old games from NES up to PSX.

 

Amen to that brother, Amen.

Plus thanks to ROM Translators, RPGs that never left Japan can now be played in English, yet more reason to love 'em classics!

 

Well I think the new games lack in story and inspiration and they try to make it up by graphics and effects which make the older ones more interesting...but you know the comon gamer mentality has changed over the years and by playing too many games we are hard to impress and satisfy

 

I prefer older (classics)
Because they have TONS of replay value, to name a few:
Breath of Fire 3 (PSX)
Diablo 2: LoD (PC)
Bust A Groove 1 and 2 (PSX)
Silent Hill (PSX)

I always remember how i bought these games and it took me such a long time to master them

On the other hand, newer games are WAY TOO EASY.

Champions of Norrath (PS2)
FFX (PS2)

So those are my opinions on the matter

 

Just take a look at The Orange Box for the PS3 for proof of that statement. The 360 version is sooooo much better. Visually and sound quality. 360 = 1080p , PS3 = 720p. I have noticed in the PS3 version that sometimes the audio will get a kind of "crackling" noise, particularly after an explosion. It's quite aggravating that valve let EA take over the PS3 port of the game, because they made it inferior to the 360 version.

 

old school bro, want an example?

pokemon silver hard to find pokemons vs pokemon diamond impossible to find ones.

 

in my opinion, new and old games have their good points that makes us love them...

 

New is better.

Only FFVII...

 

oldschool baby!

 

I'm gonna have to say the older ones I can play over and over and over again.
Newer ones I either have to pull up an IGN guide, use an encyclopedia database (wowhead), deal with corny voice acting, or deal with Japanese text because the game hasn't reached the States yet. lol
I get so used to playing Japanese games, that when I go to play US games, O is not confirm anymore, and X is not cancel.

I did get pissed playing the older games when I really did press the jump button and the dude just stands there like an idiot and falls off and dies.

EDIT: Man I need to get some sleep. Grammar fail is a good indicator of that.

 

Old games FTFW

 

Soooo true.

YEAH.

 

i loved both old and new (for Rpg)

I don't like games where you get so far, and then there is no way to save. If you play any Mario classic sidescroller, you have to start at 1-1. Even with Super Mario All Stars, you would still have to start from the beginning of that world that you selected. I liked Super Mario World because you could complete ANY stage, save, and your progress would be up to that exact point.

I like games that give you some sort of competitive edge, either by items, powerups, whatever. Your character at the end should not be the exact same as when it first started. Imagine Bomberman without 4 fully charged remote Red bombs? Imagine only being able to deploy just two bombs instead of 8?

Customization. Even the cheesy sports games, like this one NBA game I had let you customize your character to where you could modify its shot so that you can score baskets from way past half court. You had to really play it though to get all of the required points to modify it that far though.

Also, the game should not be the exact same as when I bought it. It should show some proof that I went through all of the levels, courses, stages, unlocked everything, whatever. I love Gunstar Heroes, but having to start from scratch each time, with no proof that I actually beat it plenty of times is nerveracking.

Racing games. I better have SOME sort of customization. I love being able to do engine swaps, lower the suspension, lighten the weight, slap on big stage 4 turbos, whatever. Pitting your unique setup (and possibly car) against other people is one of the most satisfying experiences.

Freedom. I must have some level of freedom, whether it be free roam, all out sandbox, or just the ability to walk around to places is good enough. Selecting menus to navigate places isn't very fun...Pro Street did horrible because it was too "professional" being only able to race on tracks. No free roam, no punks to own on the street, no cops to ram off the road, no traffic to use to your advantage. No vandalism... If I wanted a "driving simulator," I would have picked GT5 Prologue. No customization (just a little slide bar to adjust your HP), tracks only, no damage, no nitrous, and penalties for hitting people and going off road.

I like Mario Golf because you can do special powershots, instead of regular golf where you just swing a club and you're done. Same with Mario Tennis. I like the charged shots, and special abilities.

These are the strongpoints of "newer" games that I like. Corny plots, crappy voice acting, and unimpressive graphics for the time era are the weakpoints.

 

the next gen games are better for multiplayer, and thats about it. otherwise i prefer my snes as well. it seems next gen games are only fun once. i play my snes games over and over. i have a 7th saga, secret of evermore, and secret of mana file going right now. and ive beat secret of evermore & secret of mana dozens of times literally. i have an enchanted arms file on ps3, and i'm positive if i do ever finish it; it's gettin traded. i would never play that twice.

 

Lets be honest, to most people the PS3 is just plain out inferior.

Anyway
I tend to prefer... both
A good game is a good game, regardless of WHEN it was made.

 

I'm one of the few people in this forum that did not play a SNES, NES, or N64/PSX when they came out. I first got introduced to games since my husband got me a gamecube and Animal Crossing. So my view is not clouded by nostalgia.

It all really depends on the games, depth and genre. The old Mario's, especially Mario Bros 3, is the best platforming game ever. Bar none.

Although, my favorite First Person shooter is Perfect Dark, it's not that old, 2001.

Although some games do not age well at all. Goldeneye and Perfect Dark especially, frame rate problems aren't acceptable anymore. The controls, especially compared to now are annoying. The first Zelda game, although fun, it was extremely confusing for me and I did not know where the hell I was going, I'd be running around the over world for hours at a time.

 

lol

I don't even care if the game in question is new or old. I prefer games with good storylines, immersive and intuitive gameplay and remarkable presentation. I hate easy games. I like games that offer a challenge and requires patience and strategy to accomplish.
