http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=contra3_owns This is old I know, but I'm putting this up for everybody who considers themself a gamer. Maddox shows how Contra III, a game from 13 or so years ago is still better than half the crap that is released these days. Weep as your PS3 and XBox 360 gets torn viciously apart.

He has some good points there... "Maddox" wrote:Developers today try to make their games as realistic as possible and the end result is having to spend hours and hours trying to find shit in the game. It's boring. Nobody wants to play "virtual scavenger hunt." If I wanted to find shit for hours, I'd clean my room, and if I wanted realism, I wouldn't be playing video games. It's that simple. The characters in this game don't talk. They don't have cute names. They don't make smartass comments every time they run into something, and they don't have 10,000 frames of animation. It doesn't try to be a movie and a game simultaneously, because that formula never works and people always end up skipping the rendered sequences once they've seen them anyway. What's the point? On the other hand you shouldn't generalize too much. There were crappy games on the older consoles, too. Lots of. Contra 3 may be the greatest game for him. But I'm sure there are a lot of great games made these days, too.

Yeah, its true too. I mean, could you really see another awesoem Contra game in today's video game consoles? Maybe on Wii, but that's it.

He's also forgetting you can't go around and shoot people in the head in real life, so realism in video games is justified :roll:
