3DO Kid or 360 Kid - not bloodly likely!!!
Ah well it had to happen. I got a 360. It's weird, but I'm clearly now tainted - trapped in the early 90's gaming.
I played Gears of War. Yeah alright. Looks nice. Fine. NEXT! Next was PGR3... It's OK. The graphics look weird. The tree's look extra weird. I haven't figured out why - but they spook me.
I'm just not excited. In fact - I'm bored.The same with the Wii. And more or less the same for the PS3, which actually redeems itself thanks to streaming media - which isn;t a game and the imported version of Wangan. Which is Japanese and the game I singularly have enjoyed the most - but I think the enjoyment came from figuring out what's going on in the Japanese menus, rather than the game itself.
I was more excited about Older Games games. I've enjoyed Novastorm more than anything else and right now I'm twitching with glee at the idea Zero 5 and Pitfall for the Jag...
There is no hope...

I agree w/you for the most part (w/the strong exception of the Wii which I think is exciting ... what made you decide to spring for a 360?) Gaming does not excite me nearly as much now either. The new 3DO releases were definitley my gaming highlight of this year so far! We are a rare breed indeed ...
P.S. Now you got me in the mood to pop Pitfall into my Jag. Think I will after a round of Novastorm.

Agreed.
New Games fail to amaze me for some reason. Multi-million poly counts? Pffft. Give me sprites.
modern gaming honestly has went down so fast. I play them only to say "Whoa, I didnt know the machine could draw that much polys per sec!". Today's game lost all elements of fun which were so mainstream in the early 90's
*sigh*

What I'm not liking about GoW is the cluttered dirty feeling.
This is going to be hard to explain. Virtua Fighter 1 didn't feel cluttered. Nice straight lines. It felt fresh and light and airy. And i loved that game. Tekken 1 felt confined and i didn't really enjoy it.
Shoot forward 12 years. I love Ridge Racer, there is a certain elegance to the game, and it feels clean. Motorstorm? Nah. Exactly the opposite.
Half Life 2 is brilliant, felt light, it's bright and fun. GoW? - it feels horrible.
Favourite game for feeling uncluttered? Starblade.

I'm not entirely convinced the 360 is a quality product. I put a big ol' greasy finger print (by accident) on my Gears of War disc - the error message from this Microsoft product because it couldn't read the disc?
It said "Please insert disc into Xbox 360" - I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. nice.
My 3DO never did that. My jaguar occasionally red screens if a cartridge isn't quite right but at least it doesn't tell me to insert the cartridge into an Atari Jaguar - because that would be stupid.

Oh yeah, that's another thing... I actually was tempted to get a 360 at one point for XBLA. But the thought of a $400 machine breaking down on me was a major turn-off. Given all the "red ring of death" problems and the bad experience I had with the original Xbox (motherboard just up and died for no apparent reason), I just didn't have the confidence my money wouldn't go to waste.

The same realization hit me the other day, but it was about magazines. I would rather read an old EGM than a new Game Informer. (*sh!t*, maybe I'm getting old!)3DOKid wrote:I'm just not excited. In fact - I'm bored.
I'm only interested in one game when I get my 360, and that's NHL 08.

Well I got Halo 3 today. I played it for about 20 minutes. Got bored and tried to finish Power Kingdoms again. True story.
I think anticipation plays a big part of any game, and I was looking forward to Halo 3 as some one looks forward to go to the Dry cleaners. You know you going to have to go and when you do it's going to cost £30.00
One of the guys who works for a company I go and see had Halo 3 on pre-order for a year. A year!

Man, maybe I should move out there. Two Brits say boo when all the Yanks I know are worshipping the game.
