Oh, just listening to some 90s games' soundtracks that make me miss all the awesomeness that it brought us. I mean when was the last time you said to yourself, "I'm gonna play me some Spyro!"?
Spyro is, I guess, still amongst us, in Skylanders... but eh... he's not the main character of it anymore. I don't see his name in the title, so what gives? The Playstation 2 games were NOT Spyro. I refuse to say those games were a continuation of Spyro. They're not the fun, kiddy games I used to play. I want to collect eggs with a stoned Hunter and listen to music made by Police's drummer Stewart Copeland.
What about Crash Bandicoot? The last time we saw him was back on the Playstation 2, in some horrendous, crappy games that didn't even feel like the classic Crash we knew back in the 90s. Now, he's in the hands of a different company, and sure they may say that they're thinking of new and creative ways to bring him back, still... Where's the new and improve Crash we're dying to see?
Tomb Raider... this was when they could care less on how Lara looked. She looked identical for like... six straight games! And then once she entered the new generation it's like, "We have to make her pretty. I don't care how much the gameplay and story sucks, just make Lara PRETTY!!!" The latest Tomb Raider was enjoyable... but it was SO freaking easy. Tomb Raider used to be hard, ridiculously hard.
How about when Nintendo 64 had by far, the greatest collection of games ever? Goldeneye? Perfect Dark? Mario 64? Mario Party? Supersmash? Mario Kart 64? Superman 64... um... I meant Conker's Bad Fur Day?
Yes, there are awesome games today. I mean, I'm in LOVE with Dishonored. Metal Gear Solid series is by far the best series ever in my opinion. And yeah, I am a fan of Call of Duty. (Mainly because it's a first-person shooter game and I'm addicted to shooter games.) But for some reason, video games these days I feel there's no love. It's "We have to make a game with great graphics!" I would rather play a pixelated game over a game that has a crappy story, crappy gameplay but flawless graphics. I just want to play a fun game like I used to back in the 90s when it was just about playing games. Not this, "I need to be looking at something so realistic that one day it'll be nearly impossible to make a difference what's real and what isn't."
I can only take so much of that, you know?
