Default Re: Any Sim City Players Here?

Hell I have dozens of games I never play. Oddly enough games that are older tend to peak my interest now that the newer games on the market suck so horribly bad. Games like Doom, Heretic, Decent, Freespace, Sin, TRIBES, System Shock, Deus Ex, and so on are really the games that seem to interest me now.

Lets face it, the games of the late 90's were good games. The games now are all generic spin offs of other games and concepts that have been over used, over hyped, over priced, and under developed. Sure eye candy has improved, but the core essence of the games have been lost.

I am currently deeply committed to my dissolution of modern day PC games. I just don't see any hope for the future of the market if innovation has been put to death, attention to detail is hanging from the tree out back, and quality in game design and play has long since been listed MIA. Its like the game industry has fallen prey to a self destructive virus. I mean where has original though and dedication to quality gone? The bean counters and mega corporations butted and bought their way in and in doing so have revamped the game industry land scape like a genesis device leaving nothing of the old remaining in the face of they're "Laugh to the bank" new reality.

This ***** is dead and its time to stop feeding of her rotting carcus and put her in the ground. Big business and greed have devastated the PC game industry as equally as they did to the console market of the early 80's. Next to lawyers, bankers, politicians, I hate the people who have ruined this wonderful era and brought free thinking innovation to its knees. Hell these bastards didn't even use a gun, they just used a dollar bill and look at all the destruction they have left in their wake. Great game companies one and all have fallen victim to their whims of profit seeking hysteria.
