But usually when you're playing these games, they are top of the line, best quality for that time. And, only later you look at the earlier games and realize how inferior they are. Though some people really do love playing the classic games, especially earlier releases in a game series such as Resident Evil or Grand Theft Auto.

But many people play old games because it brings back memories. Nostalgia for short.

Yeah, that's true. Some classic games we all played when we were young.

Sometimes nostalgia, sometimes we play them just because of pure brilliance in the storyline. I enjoy many old games just as much as I can enjoy some hc graphics today.

Yeah, that's true. But i'm saying, there's also the possibility you play a game you haven't played in ten years and realize how inferior it is and then you stop playing after a few minutes cause you can go get better. I think that happens sometimes, but not always.

When i start playing one game, i dont uninstall until i beat it.

oh this thread reminded me of final fantasy and kingdom hearts,* reminiscing* waaaay back when they looked like boxes =))
i go for the story, and the gfx is just a side dish for me, xcept if it really sucks that bad you want to cry,,

I usually don't stop playing a game until it has frustrated me and then i don't come back till the next day and if that happens for a week, then i'm likely to stop playing.

I care for both. I don't like modern games with a shitty graphics. But the story is important also.

Yeah, i might say that story line is of paramount importance but without superior graphics, i'm going to feel cheated like i paid too much money for a game and got cheated. Game publishers can do better. Superior graphics should be the standard not exception. And, of course, a good backstory, storyline and excellent characterizations should be there too for the game to be good.
