No biggie, really Anyhoo, I have to admit that in my opinion the gaming market is getting worse, heading downhill if I might say. I consider the SNES era to be the best, followed by the PSX era and so on. The games are beautiful, realistic and so on and so on nowadays, but somehow the spirit and the climate so well known and felt when playing FFVI, Chrono Trigger or Xenogears has been lost. Dunno about other ppl, who are 25+ and remember those good old times, but I just feel this way. No game on current gen consoles can give me such a feeling like many SNES/MegaDrive/PSX/Saturn/N64 titles. Both PS3 and 360 are racing for best graphics, gazillion of polys, super realistic physics and so on BUT graphics don't make the whole game and I know the whole bunch of games which look beautiful but play as crap. Nintendo went in the very good direction with Wii, and my only complaint is that there are way too few games for hardcore gamers. This 'casual player' trend is becoming a little annoying IMO.
