I am going to slove this, by reflecting on the five facts of this article.

5. Multipler is a gimmick. Why the hell should I buy a Wii, or any videogame to play with other people online. It was not and never the coolest thing, Playing with people online,
was fun for awhile until people started to hack the servers, and BSOD everybody. If not then they had physical cheat modifications, that can not be detected. The reason why the PCE has one controller port, was because most who play videogames, like watching films, most likely will have themselves. The rule now, is to bring your own controller, because of germs, and direspectfull sweaty hands.

4. Games are too long because that is what SAVE FILE option is for. Like right now I am playing LINDA 3. For the love of gosh, I am not going to catch every animals, make it with Linda, and make freinds or defeat my evil self, in less then 30mins-2hrs. I got a life people, I need money honey. I can't make money, playing games all the time.
Also people like fighters, duh.

3. Storylines suck because I am not the one writing them, and sometimes I do not even want to know the Storyline. Like in Rockman Zero, Elpizo is sappose to be a boy but we all know he is a girl. Or how the energy crisis, suddenly went right back to RMX4. Seriously the translation of RMZ makes little sense then me making up my own story, for the game.

2. Originalism, is not dead, but people who can not see the difference between commercialism and the francising of a product is what is causing the problem with purchasing newer games. It is like the product is a good product, but the love for the product has flown out the window. To most people with the Thrid Eye
we can see threw to a persons intentions of selling a product, so we want specific goods. This is all part of growing up. Back then I though Mcdonalds, and Koolade was the best thing on the planet, but now I realize the best food is stuff that has no or little taste whatsover. Like wine peoples taste age and becomes better over time. Thus better products should be created.

1. All videogames have to be fun, but seriously that is not the problem. The videogames of today are not challegning. I blast past stages, that would make me cringe back then. I was not old enough to do the calculations. It was amazing for me to calculate everything back then. It was never fun, but all challenge, and that is part of the reason for playing videogames.

My dad cant understand why I keep going back and playing old PC games.  Hes always playing the new stuff.   Th one exception will be in October when I pick up the new Xcom game Firaxis is making.  Since its supposed to play a lot like the original, Im totally onboard!

Old times were just magical.

Maybe that's why I'm going back in time and discovering masterpieces like the PCE.

Lately my X360 has been used for pretty much everything but gaming.
Gaming since 1985

It's because back then the art took a week (exaggerating a bit), so the rest of the time was like SHIT, LETS MAKE THIS PLAY GOOD.

now its like

WE GOT A YEAR

10 MONTHS OF ART.  2 MONTHS OF GAMEPLAY.

and they are using existing engines, so they halfass it.

As a door stopper? as a paper weight? as a cupholder? as a tissue dispenser?
