The video games now are not as addicting as the nintendo 64 or as fun, we focus more on graphics and realism rather than fun and addicting. I loved ocarina of time but then twilight princess came out and it's just no the same.
video games tend to suck more and more as graphics get better

These topics work a lot better when your opinion is offered as a basis for discussion, not when it's stated as a fact. Just saying.
And yeah, I disagree. It's straight up nostalgia. And maybe a lack of innovativity. You might get bored of playing within the same genres for years on end, but it's not like kids these days are like GRRRR I NEVER GOT TO PLAY DUCK HUNT.

As someone who was never into the kinds of games that the N64 brought, I can say I have no nostalgic connection to them. That said, I find them terribly dull.
I'm not a graphics whore or anything. I just think a lot of the games that are coming out these days are far more interesting. The closer games get to becoming movies, the more opportunity for interactive storytelling like we've never had before.
Then again, I'm probably the one gamer in the world that doesn't care for Tetris, so what the hell do I know?

I have to both agree and disagree.
Some games with graphics (and admittedly innovation) bring to the table a lot of awesome gameplay. Take for example, a lot of the new sports games that have been released, Halo, Call of Duty, Bioshock, Assassin's Creed; the main staple games of the Xbox 360 are fundamentally pretty and entertaining.
The opposite could also be said. Some games for the 360 have terrible graphics AND terrible gameplay. I wouldn't necessarily correlate graphics with entertainment, anymore; it's a blurry line.
I don't mean to be a jack-hole, but that's just how I see it.

Also there is already one of these threads,please use the search button or just look before you post a repeat thread.
i don't care for tetris either, actually i think it's completely boring, but i like the semi older games with more addicting features, like aiden chronicles the first mage or final fantasy 7. shooters always get better so there is hope there.
Honestly, it's not that often you'll see a good game for Xbox 360 or PS3 that is less than a 12+ (T for you Americans). The only examples I can think of off the top of my head are viva piniata and little big planet. Anyway, they are great games, but so are the titles like Half Life 2. Sure I'd like to see Rareware make a game like Banjo Kazooie or DK 4, but that is for the wii platform, which right now, is being abused. Too many sports games, not enough shooters for that perfect accessory, the wii zapper, not many good adventure games, too many gimmicky family games and too many accessories. Also, nintendo's latest decision to port old titles to the wii spotlighted the fact that nobody has any new ideas. The innovative ones are minimalised for thick person compatibility, the rubbish ones are milked, the ones that seem good slap you in the face later when it all falls to pieces to make the game slightly longer and the bad ones are turned into sequals. Thats where fanboys come in. The reason why fanboys has not been classed as a sexist term is because only boys are moany enough to care. Being male and adolescent myself I have many of these traits, but the new games have even put me off those. Let's take for example our biggest backstabber, Sonic. Right until sonic heroes, sonic was great. I personally liked the early 3D sonic games that many people moan about. Sonic adventure was excellent, definately worth playing if you haven't already. The latest big Sonic title was Sonic & The Black Knight. As soon as I saw it was only on wii, I knew this was bad. From previous experience of course. That experience being Sonic & The Secret Rings. The controls were horrible, the storyline was so cheesy you'd have to have it with wine and biscuits, that song was horrible, (you must know which one I mean right?) and most of all, throwing the RPG element in there was just too complex considering it didn't really matter anyway how fast you could go or weather you could jump backwards or fart fire into enemies faces, it made no difference. So, if you bothered to read this, I am a nostalgia fan, but I used to drink beer, now I drink juice. It's still nice and if you leave it long enough to ferment it will be alcoholic and make you happy with it, but it's got no head and you drink it out of a straw. I'm glad to waste your time.
