Thread: Who misses the old days?

  1. #1

    Default Who misses the old days?

    Seriously, who misses the days of the original Playstation?...The days when they didnt have that good of graphics, but the storyline is what sold the game...ex. The legend of dragoon, Silent hil, etc...

    What made me think of this is the fact that I was going throgh my games trying to figure out what I wanted to play next and I looked when I was done and it was the two above, and Metal Gear Solid..with no PS2 games

    Playstation as the old days? Man there, stop making me feel older.

    I remember loving my good old NES games... like Crystalis. The games that are being re-made for a new generation are the old days. Maybe they're doing that with some Playstation games, but that's still not the old days IMO.

    Crystalis was awesome. Shame it never took off.

    Seriously!? This view seems a little nostalgia-tainted. Games on the PS1 didn't "have that good of graphics"? Metal Gear Solid, Vagrant Story, and Chrono Cross are three of the most achingly gorgeous games of the entire 1995-2000 period, and still look pretty fine today. Hell, the cutscene direction in VS and MGS still blows away most modern efforts.

    Oh, and I don't think Ridge Racer Type 4 was sold by its storyline.

    At any rate, I get nostalgic over the PS1 on a fairly regular basis. Most recently for Klonoa. <3

    I much enjoyed the older days of gaming. Despite the whining of others, I much enjoyed the blocky characters in Legend of Dragoon and FFVII.

    Pixels win over polygons any day. I still prefer many NES and SNES games to the games of today.

    Talking about the "good old days" and all that, I actually did think of something I wanted to mention. Not speaking strictly in terms of PS1, but the whole 1990-2000 decade saw pretty much all of my favourite RPGs of all time. It seemed like every year I was being blown away by something new and daring (part of this might be that the genre felt relatively new to me: I consider Lunar, released in 1992, to be the first truly GOOD RPG ever created-- naturally, my opinion), and the genre just doesn't seem to have that same energy anymore. I'm not saying that there aren't good RPGs anymore (the PS2's Shin Megami Tensei renaissance is a godsend, for example), but there certainly doesn't seem to be as high a concentration or as consistent a flow of quality RPGs as there was in that decade. GAh, ye olde nostalgicness.

    thats what Im talking about...and I didnt mention any FF games because yeah they sold great by themselves but they had a good background and that helped sell them, but most of the games like legend of dragoon I dont remember having a past game of them and all that was heard was the story line...you all know what I mean stop getting all defensive Im just wanting to get the older games credit that they still deserve, games that are on the PS1, and other consoles, that you would still be willing to pick up at anytime and play

    Any console that sells most of it's hits based mostly on story has failed miserably as a video game console.

    The PS1 didn't have that problem, though. There were plenty of PS1 games with great gameplay.

    Still not the "old days" though. ;>_> Maybe if you were born in the 90s.

    The old days for me were the times spent religiously playing the NES, SNES, Master System and Mega Drive. Those were the good old days...

    *sigh*...I see there is no need for me to continue to argue my point since everyone is against me...

    Oh, I'm not against you. I just thought we were giving our own opinion on what we thought to be the good old days. *shrug*
