Current Video Game Trends You Wish Would Die - Page 2

They have their own TV show now. The web episodes are a thing of the past.

I wish they would stop making games about portly Italian stereotypes, I mean who does Nintendo think they are, promoting such rampant racism.

In retrospect, I probably wouldn't find Pure Pwnage funny anymore now that my sense of humor has changed, but I still find FPS Doug to be pretty hilarious on its own.

EDIT: Watching the TV series. I take it back. This is still pretty funny.

The name alone was always enough to make me vomit.

I'm glad that the Rock Band/Guitar Hero trend has pretty much died, and that World of Warcraft has pretty much peaked, only to be replaced by this Halo/Call of Duty and it's dozens of clones crap. The games I enjoy the most lately are Facebook games as many are free and you don't need a separate controller and the instructions are on-screen. I miss the old days when games were more "fun", had a good storyline. That's why I'll always view the '90s as the best decade for video games (before it was simply called gaming!) There are many classics that I continue to play on ports/emulators/systems and has an innocence that 21st century games lack. I just wish there were more good platformers/adventure games being released!

But I'm just a nostalgia nut; it reflects it. Getting game overs and starting all over; remembering how awesome Game Genie was, as well as simpler controls. There was even a time in the late '80s/early '90s when you dialed a 900 number for hints/cheats!

I was with you until the Facebook game crap. Who the hell actually plays those?

Facebook has lots of games based on game shows. I currently play Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy!, The Price is Right, Family Feud, and the $100,000 Pyramid regularly, plus there's also Deal or No Deal, 1 vs. 100, and Who Wants to Be a Millionare? available, and my mom enjoys playing some of those games as well. It's basically the fun of the old school generation of gaming updated with better graphics/sounds.

I don't want to live in a world where I can't do things like that.

Also you enjoy dying and starting over and playing a game pure but then state your love for Game Genie. Confusing.

My new one is people who like Dark/Demons Souls being condescending assholes about liking Dark/Demons Souls.
