“Real Gamer”, Mass Effect bored me to tears and GTA horrifies me. I think the real issue is with the complete lack of imagination required for modern 3D games. That and the fact that it’s really all been done now and we’re just re-hashing old ideas over and over again. Not much fun for a 44 year old gamer these days…

[...] while back we wrote an article about how 2D gaming is better than 3D gaming, which it clearly is. We here at OW have been getting increasingly frustrated with the lack or [...]

Seriously, to me this just sounds like the opinion(which =/= fact) of an old dude who has nothing better to do.

I’m enjoying myself thanks to you. This list is another nostalgia fanboy goldmine. Niiice.
10. Simpler
So?! “Simpler” doesn’t equal “better”.
9. More Entertaining
This is one of the most retarded claims I’ve ever heard. Seriously. Entertainment doesn’t depend on dimensions.
8. More linear
“Why is this a good thing? It gives the gamer a sense of purpose knowing that they have to go from point A to point B rather than having the relative options of going from point A to any point in a massive geographical 3D environment.”
How the fuck would that be a good thing? What is wrong with you? Why don’t you like different approaches. Hell, I didn’t really love Crysis but I admired the freedom it gave to me. You can’t do that with 2D.
7. More room for creativity
Bullshit.
6. Easier on the eyes
Who cares, do you get fucking motion sickness or are you just so easily distracted?
5. Loss of focus on graphics
Look at modern XBLA 2D games. Look at Trials HD, Shadow Complex, ‘Splosion Man. Those look sweet.
4. Smoother controlling
Now this is not true. Controls can as easily be crippled in 2D. In fact, it happened much more often. I don’t know anything about RE but I’ve never had problems controlling GTA. But I’m not a “professional journalist”, what should I know?
3. No more GTA’s
Screw you, pal, I’ll play GTA 4 over Twilight Princess any day.
2. You don’t want to play in the same dimensions you live in
I do. What kind of reason is that?
1. Better Games
So not true. And even if it was, it wouldn’t have anything to do with the dimensions.

Is this farce? Please tell me this is farce. Your arguments are almost laughable, and thank God that supa fellow left a nice article detailing them so I don’t have to type them all out myself. I would not have been so offended by this if you didn’t seem to purvey this article as truth, when it’s clearly your (rather uninformed and, dare I say, BIASED) opinion.

Looking at the recent articles (Top 5 Reasons Indie Music is So Bad, Top 10 Reasons British Music is Better than American Music) you’ve listed only leads me to believe one of two things: this entire site is satire, or you really are just that stupid and ignorant.

It seems like your entire argument is based on comparing mediocre and average 3D games with the best of the 2D games or on personal preference. You also seem to be confusing “3D” with “Any property of modern games not shared with older games”.

DUDE… i dont think you have even played a 3D game

sure GTA IV was a little over (violencediaaated….??) It had to much violence but still 2D games are great… to a point but do you really think you can make a 13 Gig 2d game???? i mean (MapleStory) Is the largest single 2D game ever and that isis an mmo but its still only like about 2 Gigs max. and its not about size but about the game play.

Ok how bout this. For the baby boomers and mamby some people a little younger then them —-> READ BOOKS YOU 20- Y/O <– are 3D

next thing is going to be V/R Virtual Reality. That is going to be our generation and the next generation. But the reason it includes our generation is because since were the Baby Boomers children we over populate any other generation and the natural way is everyone wants to be the same SO… we can co-op with the change and we will just migrate to V/R.

The thing im saying is… Our books are just more high tech we make our stories with 3D non-linear games. If you dont want to play 3D games dont but dont complain and say that your jellous that no more 2D games are being made.

Just accept what you got and dont complain for what you dont.

PS: sorry for the spelling and bad format its 2:00 AM here and im watching tv.

PPS: good luck with trying to stop the gameing industry!!!
