The persistence of memory

My nigger. Been playing nothing but Gamecube for over a month. It is the last gamer's console. Dreamcastfags can suck it; their games suck compared with thd Gamecube's library.

Yeah I'm pretty much just like you, I rotate between older games just because I have no interest in modern games and anything related with games no is pure fucking cancer; I mean, even here you have lots of cancer, but it's still better than 99% of other game related places. The only good modern games that I played recently were Bloodborne, and Super Hot VR when I was at a party. For the most part this past year, when I'm not working or out drinking with my friends, I'm usually playing Darklands or going back and forth between older JP sound novels like Otogirisou, Zakura no Aji, Hayarigami, Machi, Getsumen no Anubisu, Majoutachi no Nemuri, etc. etc. And Master of Orion 2, good shit right there, I still play that game at least once or twice a month. I do buy a few things on PS3 network once in awhile, like Sly Cooper Collection or just play whatever I have on my SFC. I guess though when you have played almost every major game that has been released in the past 30 years, it comes to a point where things are just being repeated or are stupid "tributes" to old games but miss what made those games good. And last but not least, speaking of Gamecube, I just got my copy of Eternal Darkness back from my friend, so I am looking forward to playing through that again. Sorry for the rambling post, I've been working for 13 hours straight and have barely slept that much in the past week.

(OP)
Calculated down to the percentage, only 18.75% of my faves are from 2010 or later. Probably closer to 20% (give or take) factoring in some others and PC games.
As many others have already said, you're preaching to the choir OP. I browse 8/v/ because I assume that the lion's share of active users are jaded elitists. It just isn't the same anymore.
Yes, nostalgia factor is always a fundamental share of vidya preferences. But I do echo the popular opinion of modern advances and the present political clime contributing to overall decline - both real and perceived.
