How do you feel about old games?
That's interesting to know the opinion of people for this reason. What do you think, is it worth to spend time on the old platform and the game or now it turns out a lot that time and desire for them to do? And another interesting point - whether you play in the first game of any major series (such as Tomb Raider, The Elder Scrolls), before passing the new or immediately proceed to their modern versions? Thanks in advance.Many old games were better than some new, and many new games were better than some old ones. But there are eternal like NFS, CoD, Half-Life, Crysis, STALKER. In modern games development graphics, engine, physics, and possibilities is, however, in some detriment, for example, the plot. Better play all I can and not sweating)

I absolutely agree, but emphasize, for example, the franchise of Far Cry a very good look at the current and at the same time instructive game. Remember Baasha and his crazy or pagan min. Add Joseph's and here, there is something to absorb) But the taste and color.
Very good attitude to old games. Not so long ago (this year) passed Half-Life 2 and the episodes. Recently played Return to the Castle Wolfenstein (with the mod on schedule). In Titan Quest I play sometimes, the latest addition very much. My brother occasionally played Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl and his fashion. The last time was games like TimeShift, Stalker Clear Sky, Far Cry, Duke Nukem 3D, Fallout New Vegas, Fallout 3. SOMA (but it is relatively new so not considered), the trilogy of Dead Space, Bulletstorm.
Respectful! In my childhood I played Soul Reaver 2 and Defience. Now I decided to pereproyti anthology Legacy began with Blood Omen. Awesome series
How can you have a negative attitude to old games, almost all the masterpieces that I know it is often less 2002. And Yes, if the storyline connected between the parts that will go through with the first part.
Fondly. Every year pereprohozhu a few old games (although I must admit, to get acquainted with something in the first is quite difficult, because of the outdated graphics and gameplay, but still you get used to that if the game has strengths that mesh). Because in those games, usually the developers put their hearts, feel it when playing and even after long term still want to come to them. In my opinion, the turning point was 2007, this year was just obscenely large amount, dare I say, masterpieces. Money flowed rail, and the industry began to change. If in the 90s - early 00h game was done by enthusiasts for enthusiasts in the first place was the art, now most importantly it's commercial success (with the rest of the worlds Visceral and other victims of capitalism).
Especially now play almost nothing. Almost all continue the famous series with each new game as a whole become worse. Yes, the new parts of the series, the creators often improve the old (gameplay and technical) part of the game, or introduce new, but at the same time break the old, perfectly working. For example, recently domutil passage Follaut 4, if you ignore the names and lore, in General, just as independent play it is quite not good, but it's a very bad Follaut. Shooting is undoubtedly the best in the series, the mechanics of crafting and construction, too, can be interesting, fun addition to gameplay. Not only for that we love Follaut, the main components of role-playing system and narrativea narrative, was seriously injured. The same can be said of the latest Mass Effect. Anyway with role-playing games are all pretty sad, a renowned series has been simplified for the sake of expanding the audience and turned into action. With singleplayergame shooters too, the situation is not particularly happy. Play the first Far Cry, after the 5th will seem dull shooting at a stationary dummy. Even Wolfenstein TNC for all his desire to oldschoolness became easier.
So, while potentially great games only could be seen on the horizon, I'll take that any old time, but not aging soul.

The problem is that evolyutsioniruet only graphics, and it can hardly be called evolution, the new technology does not often appear, more polygons, texture resolution is higher, that's all development. Pripoverkhnostnoi scattering, ambient occlusion, global illumination, dynamic shadows - it was in the first Crysis!
And since you're talking about the technical part, then show me at least 3 games the last 8 years, in which physics, in aggregate, exceed or at least be on the same Crysis of 2007? To my mind, only one, the last Zelda comes.
Where normal writers who can write interesting stories, to create detailed characters and write dialogues without adequate (sarcasm)? Where the normal AI in single player games? Good level designers also probably extinct? This not only applies for single player games but also multiplayer, where this aspect is even more significant.
Right comrade wrote above, now many developers operate on the principle - Here you are map, weapons and entertain yourself as you wish. And maybe if our lead programmer left heel want, we will deliver the optimization that our soap could give stable 60fps, at least on 1080ti.
Better Full Throttle, Toonstruck and HoMM 3 games never did. Well, this is IMHO, of course.

A linear plot, quite similar to the first part. The result: the game received far better reviews from fans of the first part. And rightly so. at once, and go to wait.

Depends on what games to consider. here give a example, bought on sale a couple of years ago orange box, remarochka, Half life 2 was my favorite game and I was looking forward to the third part. And so I decided to re-take it already, you know what used drives are sold when there was no Internet, so I run it and something like that is not the same, I've tried over the years many times, but played for ten minutes on and off. In the end I have all 2 hours of online time in the halva and it is for 2 years. A game that did not become worse, just changed my perception of games. But now I bought all the parts, kings bounty, and the game is also ten years old and she sucked me and I yesterday up to 3 hours were played.
What I want to say at the end, if you want to know the story from previous games, but the game you don't like, it is better not to suffer and look at the overview, or as they are called now, agrofilm on YouTube because the gameplay in many old games now obsolete in the first place technologically. Well, if you like the game, even with all its shoals and ancient graphics, then forward without hesitation.
the old game was a normal cool from them was trash on the schedule was on the spit turn all games again
A positive attitude and the variables to pass pleasantly and even play, still with friends in a classic Sam, the Heroes chopped) As for me the old game characters with new, but also to new claims not yet have, but only so far..
In General before the game did with me and for most people, and now rivet or the continuation of cult games for profit. Manage all the rules of the game to trivialize. An example of my favorite Fallout 3 game of the 4th has already made Sims of some kind. Far Cry 1,2 was a pleasure, the third to debiloidnaya scenes (fighting knife) with yanking the keys... . And remove to such a mother. That kind of idiocy. Or make kultowego action like a Stalker game, question why? I now Mario and similar games never liked. As mentioned Stronghold Crusader is a masterpiece of the strategy genre. How many did not start strategies, better Stronghold there. It just tastes done. For me it is the epitome of children's imagination when playing plastic soldiers. In only 1000000 times better.
and I could not even how people played the old game before! Graphics the new, life is not ustanavlivaetsya. There is no card. It's Plakhov game! Here take cal office dyuti. All on top! Graphics, plot, which will compete with many books, and even movies! And take the half life 2! Well uzhos! Graphics the new! Can not be compared with kruzis 3! kruzis 3 could wadever! And the old games are shit!
Enjoy playing and not worried about graphics.
Although quite old, are to VGA, cause a slight dissonance.
The same Elite, for example, or Ultima early.
Well, a lot of people working. to bring the old games into digestible form.
For example, in the days when the game was on some of the 5.25 floppy and the place was small, it came with a little book which at the request of the game required to open and from there read the description of the event, but in the game only answers to choose from.
Accordingly, in the same Ishar or Eye of the Beholder, the text has turned into a game, books not needed anymore)
Recently pereproshel c Wizardry 6 through 8, simply high.
Well, if they are interesting. And if not - it is old stuff, nothing more
