Re:growing older (Score 1)

No its not a nostalgia thing. This is a common argument I see whenever someone brings up the fact that older games were alot better than newer ones. I admit that when I play old games I get graphics-shocked because of how dated the graphics are compared to what I'm used to now (probably what happened when you tried to play UT1). For example I played the game Front Mission 3 on the PS1 for the first time ever this month. The graphics looked like crap and becuase of that I didnt enjoy it at first. After I playing it for a while I got over that and didnt notice it anymore and found the game to be extremely fun. That old game is several times better than most of the crap that comes out now. Graphics dont make a game good. Period. I cant speak for UT because I wasnt into it but I can say for a fact Doom 1 and 2 are better than Doom 3. Not because we played them "back in the good old days" but because no one played Doom 3 for months on end like they did the originals. At best they probably played it one or two times and got the Doom 1 conversion.
