is it people who hum incessantly?  Or  is it the technique of humming whiles performing cunnilingous?  or is it for humming birds that steal your precious nectar?  or is it for people who drive hummers? or  is it all of the above? "

" Two pages? This thread is way too mainstream and I hate everything mainstream because they can never contain something good. Threads were much better in the 90's when I browsed them on my 56k modem because it wasn't as mainstream then. Nevermind the fact that I couldn't load more than one thread per day. "

It was probably a pretty good thread though.  Better than this at least. "

Ugh. It's even worse than I thought. You're one of those people.  I also love that your name is pretender15, which means that you're pretending like you know what you're talking about, and that you're 15, so you have no idea what it was like to actually play games in the 90s. "

What are some of your favorite games from the 90's?

You sound pretty damn ignorant. 
 
 
Aha!  Troll!  I just thought you were a dumbass through ignorance not dickishness.

Oh you.

Elitist Hipster douchebaggg~
 
There are so many stupid things wrong with what you said.
 
 

You say you hate people that "think that video games are better now than they were in the 90s.", so therefore you must think videogames were better in the 90s. Then you say you hate people that are "strictly into mainstream stuff, and don't care about innovation"  So you care about innovation.
 
So, you are an Elitist Hipster douchebag hypocrite.

Look at all the sequels...  I don't know if you said it, but one of the points people brought up about games being better in the 90's was that today game companies are just sequel factories.   "

"THEY SUPPORT THE "COR" INDUSTRY, WITH OUT THE MONEY THEY BRING TO PUBLISHERS AND DEVELOPERS THEY WOULDNT HAVE THE MONEY TO DO INNOVATIVE THINGS.   Christ get out of your arse. "

Oh, let's just forget about any innovations in gaming that came from the 2000s, 90s is where it's at with my jetpacks that don't fucking work.  So awesome.  And I wonder what list you got all these games off of, wikipedia?

All I'm going to say is that Modern Warfare 2 is pretty fun (though I like Blops better), and that games are, in a lot of ways, better than they were in the 90s. 

DON'T DO IT GRANDAD! DON'T. FEED. THE TROLL!!

I just read through this whole thread, and I think my brain just caved in.

"  "streamers"To refer to all of the mainstream people who are obsessed with Modern Warfare 2 and think that video games are better now than they were in the 90s. You know, people who don't realize that companies purposely make games for the lowest common denominator. And other people who are strictly into mainstream stuff, and don't care about innovation, sub-culture, or niches. Oh and of course, they are all graphics whores. "

" @pretender15: I can't speak for a lot of those games, but there have been plenty of games in the past decade that were at least as good. For example, GoldenEye.

That's true for most genres and franchises. Plenty of other games on your list have been improved upon in the last decade. Starcraft 2 is an awesome game, far better than the original in terms of campaign. Civ V is amazing. MGS3 was my favorite in the series. And while I don't think any action-adventure game in the past decade has been as huge a leap as Ocarina as Time, even Wind Waker and Twilight Princess were just as good as games, not to mention other games in the genre, at least when looked at objectively. Of course, there's no accounting for taste and you're certainly entitled to your opinion, but saying gaming as a whole was better in the 90's is way too much of a generalization. And more on-topic: Why Streamers?

Only if we can call the people who aren't streamers cunts.

Weird how you listed nearly every mainstream game to come out in the 90's.  You sir,  are what you hate. "

I'd call them douches, but that's not specific enough, since it includes you, as well.

What do you think of this term I coined? Nostalgic Prick. It's a term for people like the OP who think there were absolutely no shitty games in the 90s. And doesn't ever provide evidence to support his claims.

I thought it was stupid before I even opened the thread and read what it was.

Everything nowadays is made for the lowest common denominator. Games like dungeon crawlers, survival horror, stealth, tactical shooters, and other such games no longer exist. Everything is created for the lowest common denominator. "

The Witcher/ Dragon Age Origins/  or more accurately, Diablo 3. Silent Hill  / Amnesia, Splinter Cell / Hitman, ARMA / SWAT 4.

Should I go on?

Edit: Even World of Warcraft could be described as an evolution of the dungeon crawlers of olde.

But it's not like great games aren't coming out next to these titles. Here's a tip: buy those instead of the mainstream stuff, don't panic so much about feeling the need to label things, and instead focus your attention on playing that rad game you just purchased. Hopefully you'll be too busy having fun to make snarky comments about people who like things that are different to you! "
