This is always one of those topics that kind of comes up a lot in game discussions but it's never addressed directly, instead being put into the context of the discussion at hand. So let's drop all pretenses, keep it a hundred, and discuss how we feel about games honestly. So what genres of games do you feel have gotten better with each new generation of gaming and which ones do you feel have gotten worse?
Basically this is an Old School vs. New School type of thread. Do you feel that modern FPS are the epitome of the genre or do you secretly wish they still played like they did back in the day? Do you feel that fighting games were great back when it was Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat battling for your quarters, or are you more than happy to be chaining together flashy super moves and the sheer diversity of character play-styles of modern Soul Calibur and BlazBlue?
While it's a bit narrow minded to say that gamin as a whole is getting better or worse, we can at least make a fun conversation about whether you feel certain genres or gaming conventions have improved or gotten worse over time.
