So, this being my first thread, I wanted it to be something positive, happy. FUN! Possibly filled with heavy metal and quake, but I'll only just touch on those directly.
It's my generation.
First and foremost, I wish to apologise on behalf of teenagers everywhere for being braindead and unable to comprehend the concept that their games may have been a derivative of older games, such as quake.
So, this was the situation which caused me to want to rocket jump into an airborne grenade or lightning beam;
I was casually talking to some friends IRL about games we enjoyed, we mentioned Call of Duty and Borderlands specifically. I pointed out that I wasn't a big fan of either, I prefer older games.
So, the reasons behind my disliking of those games aren't simply "older is better and thus I'm right", like most self gratifying morons on the internet who don't truly know what they're on about and just wish to spout what they saw their internet hero say.
Call of Duty ; Every iteration feels like they're trying to break the formula even more. CoD 4 was fairly okay, not amazing, but a fun little experience. CoD 5 had that cool horde mode with zombies.
Borderlands is a repetitive, well made, Diablo clone with guns for me. It's not broken at the core, it just doesn't hold my interest.
So, they start going mad. I do not jest, they literally go mad!
"Call of Duty is revolutionary and each games adds brilliant new content!" was heard from one friend.
Then I get waves of attacks from another 'friend' about how Borderlands is revolutionary also.
Which brings me to my point, if this is what people see in my generation, I am truly sorry. Sorry we're arrogant, naive annoyances.
Also, I think what makes this a beautiful sense of irony is that they all claim to be games designers, primarily focused on the FPS genre. None of them have played BLOOD, DOOM, Quake, Serious Sam, Daggerfall, Rise of the Triad or any other games of the pre 2004 era.
So yeah, they want to work in a genre they've missed most of. Even modern gems get missed like Hard Reset and Deus Ex : HR (I know HR wasn't true to the original style, but I think it was still an awesome game).
On a side note, this is so off track now I can't even believe it myself. But I saw the sub forum area "Venting Area" and part of me just wanted to say. "We're not all that bad, just know that the next generation of games designers is stupid as hell and unless the few like myself can help educate these fools, we'll have more mediocre games for a LONG time."
Anyway, I'm off to play some Quake, so have a fragtastic day! Unless you're me and suck at Quake, it's hilarious how bad I am in multiplayer. xD
