Lets analyze the above shall we.

There are several ways to interpret the above "sentence". One is to assume he is playing 18-32 year old games. Like chess. Except chess has no story line, so either this is the wrong interpretation of the sentence, or he's so deprived of friends that he invented (and rated) a plotline for chess.

The second way is to assume he is talking about bit era's. This makes more sense, but to think I missed out on the entire 18 bit era and potential classics blows my mind. This form of interpretation gives the idea that the writer prefers classic games. This due to the fact that everyone had a "what the hell attitude" and just took the plunge when buying games. This being in opposition to these days where everyone expects innovation in every single game, and reads reviews before buying.

Now, with the help of our friends, the grammar gang, lets restructure the sentence.

The games that are in the 16-32 bit era's are the best, because nobody had uber high expectations of games, we just took a leap of faith. Now if it doesn't change anything but the story, it only scores a 3 or 4 out of 10.

Proper English is your friend.
