My how games have changed since my heyday

[Botchmun]

I would still consider FF7 a bit of a childish game with a bit of an immature plot. Yes it's a good game but when 35 year old Barrett played the old, worn down by life character, you know it wasn't very realistic either. I believe Aeris was 22, Cloud 21, and Tifa was 20. The only difference is that instead of having junior high or highschool kids save the world they decided to have college kids save the world.

Well yeah, FF7 is a horrible game.

I hate to be that guy. But I hate the way gaming has gone and seems to be going.

You just lookin' in the wrong places kiddo. A lot of high cost mainstream games and pretty much all the consoles are tunneling up their own arses head first that they'll vanish into a singularity within a few years... But check some pawn shops for older consoles and games and turn over some rocks on the internet. Gog.com, Vimm.com, we won't lose the classics and smaller games seem to come up as real gems compared to whatever EA belches out or whatever deals planet gaben puts on steam.
