IWBTG is freaking ridiculous but I love it. It's old-school. And I romhacked games myself. But the point here is: games nowadays focus in graphics, ''story'', gore in some cases and spectacular scenes to make you feel intrigued.
Some years ago (hell I still play abandonware in my DosBOX emulator) games couldn't afford evolving the graphics as they do today, so they could focus in difficulty, a great lifespan and awesome playability.
I remember a genre I loved and disappeared these days. The graphic adventures. Where have any of you played recently a Full Throttle? A Grim Fandango? A Little Big Adventure? The Ultima series? The King's Quests series?
As for now, I can tell the last games I beat were 'An Untitled Story', 'Cave Story' and Final Fantasy 6,7,8 and 9.
See what I mean? The last new game I bought was Spore. And I was kinda satisfied with it. But before that I hadn't bought a game since... GTA Vice City?
Newer games don't help. I played Gears Of War and I felt very disappointed. A friend and I finished it in 2 days!
Sucked.
