[QUOTE="FAST6191, post: 9577683, member: 32303"] Don't know that I have ever heard that before. Personally I had a great time, one of the best I have had in gaming (and I have been actively following things/buying my own games since the NES, with dips into it earlier still and people selling me sports bags full of C64 and whatnot games after that stopped being current). Or if you prefer the developmental psychology approach I was rather beyond 19 by then, 19 being the year your tastes tend to crystallise (go through CD/record/music collections of your parents, uncles, siblings, grandparents... how much was new/popular when they were 19 or bands and artists that were in that timeframe?). Everything since then for me has been maybe not boring but definitely a game desert the likes of which only post SNES home console Nintendo has matched; my 360 collection is pretty large ( [URL]https://gbatemp.net/threads/xbox-360-game-collecting-any-missing-obvious-choices-some-help-wanted.591663/[/URL] ) with several games left to get, my list of such titles I want to keep for the future from PS4/xbone ( [URL]https://gbatemp.net/threads/the-games-you-will-keep-for-your-ps4-and-xbox-one.499105/[/URL] ) is probably less than 10 (maybe even 5) if I ignore things that got rehashed from PS360 titles. Nothing really pushed things much further, map sizes might have even decreased, hands keep wanting to reach in my wallet for basic functionality (though that was starting in the PS360 -- still remember when Skate 3 wanted to sell me co-op mode as DLC despite it being obvious and a feature of Skate 2, or indeed Skate 3 wanting to sell me an unlock everything cheat despite it literally being a cheat in Tony Hawk games earlier still) and second hand prices for a lot of things on the PS360 would seem to indicate that they are still desired by many where nobody would look twice at anything like that in older times, or those few occasions where a viable competitor came up. If I think back the PS360 was when the experimental "mid tier" games fell off a cliff compared to the PS2 and earlier in favour more of formulaic titles, though a few still squeaked in there (and I generally enjoyed/that form much of the backbone of my current collection). Gameplay styles are also still pretty current compared to the gulf of a difference between NES and N64 that I had in the OP as a comparison, and indeed N64/PS1 and 360 where it is night and day and almost unplayable for a lot of things*. *I have occasionally hooked up my N64 over the years. I put hundreds of hours into Perfect Dark on it but can't play it today as it is a slideshow. Give me the remake on the 360 (think it is on the xbone in the rare replay thing, which also has very nice versions of N64 Rare platformers) and I still think it can teach a lot to the games of today -- do any of the modern CODs give me nice maps, weapon set selection, variable AI players... and 4 player local co-op with it all?
