This is purely opinionated sure most games are getting worse but we still have a lot of quality content. Most of that content is fps and tps games not many good rpgs.

Ughh, i hate the people that think games are getting worse. The majority of video games have always sucked and will continue to always suck. Nostalgia seems to make people stupid

Games are easy nowadays....far too easy.

Now with this I agree. Graphics are always the norm with newer games but that's what people are always going for ever since games have been thought of another medium to portray a story like a movie. And you don't find many who will complain about the graphics of newer games (Just ask any super robot fans who have seen their favorite robots not moving since the era of SRW F and have loved the alpha series in being able to move the mechs other parts). But with games being easy, that's what I have seen recently in a lot of RPG games. Yet again, this hardly doesn't seems so. Try playing MS saga and you'll be really challenged by the difficulty of the game. I'm speaking with limited references here though. Show me a better game from the playstation era that could best any PS2 games Wolfenstein.

it really depends... If u are talking about PS1, i totally agree... But nowadays handhelds and PS2 & 3 are good. Example the DS emulator, its gettin good. Same goes with the Ps. But if u're talking about GBA and PS1, that's really a different story. The graphics sucks, sounds like **** and everythin else is bad....

yeah, games are becoming 21st century movies, and they are inheriting all of their flaws, specially their lack of polish and quality in general. games are expensive products that must be sold to as many people as possible, the old "games for gamers" paradigm is dead and buried.about graphics and old games, (imho) good graphics means doing a good job with your limitations, i remember amazing landscapes in snes made with sprites and limited palettes and resolution.right now i only see games that look a bit better than previous games but that require twice as much computational power to run properly. the absurd is when i see this poor performance being welcomed because it reassures the buying of way too expensive graphics cards and consolesi have an old low end computer and the only console i use is a ds, so i'm ignoring the "next gen" altogether. i dont really care, there are lots of really good games that work perfectly in my computer

I want to address another misconception. Games aren't any easier nor were the games any harder back then. Most games had artificial difficulty back then due to the limits of technology. There were a lot of games that were made to be hard on purpose by being totally unfair. Now games ease you into it a lot better and it works. Of course, some games just kick your ass since they're that awesome, like every NG game ever and the SMT series.
