Old school gamer
15 years ago
ACK! I just wrote a journal about being old X3 (I'm gonna turn into a grey wolf >=3)
Well, I recently watched a podcast from Adam Sessler's soapbox, which I love cause I think he's actually an intelligent gamer =3, and it made me think about gaming nowadays...specifically downloadable games
The biggest thing that scares me is if we really own the games we download so easily. My PS3 broke down again and now the $100+ worth of games I have downloaded are in limbo! It made me hug the plastic case disc games I had.
I know Steam has made everyone's life easier (for those with gamer PCs >,> which I don't have) but really, do you own the games? What if the servers broke down? What if some one hacks your account? What real way do you own the game?
I'm definitely an old gamer, single player games interest me more cause I already deal with peoples crap in RL. I use games to escape, not being called a fag from some closet, angry 12 year old on Ritalin =P Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid is more my cup of tea than Call of Duty or Halo. (Don't want to change the subject, just saying I'm a lone wolf gamer X3)
It beckons back to my SNES and N64...I used to have the Legend of Zelda: Majoro's Mask but I sold it. I saw it was available to buy via download the Virtual Console but...there something about the golden cartridge that wonderful game came in that really got to me...this sounds weird but I love blowing on the cartridge, tapping it, and jamming it in my N64...something human I guess. I'm gonna buy the cartridge on Ebay and slap on my N64 X3
God I sound old 83 but yeah...I hope all this internet gaming goes ok for the industry. I know we won't have games like Xenogears and Ocarina of Time anymore...even Final Fantasy is changing rapidly. No towns and the battle system is feverishly fast. Well maybe when we're down with our twitchy fingered modern games, I wonder what will replace it.....Interactive cooking X3
Leave in the comments what you think about what you like and dislike about modern games? What are they missing from the classics? Do you like everything downloadable or a good physical cartridge or disc?
Thanks everyone ^w^

games can get pretty boring when you play alone. thats why i always look for people
as for the classisc thay have something the new forgot about, the gameplay, what good se is top noch graphics if the story isnt good enought or has a boring gameplay?

and since i dont own a console i can ttell about those downloadable games ^^
And, the future is here! WII has an interactive cooking game :p
About steam. one, you can play things offline and make back-ups. Also when bought, they can be re-downloaded anywhere as many times as you want.
