New games just don't compare to old. Please, tell me if it's true or maybe I'M just getting old...... (I'm 28).
Supporting evidence.
I played every nook and cranny of all the eps for Heroes of Might and Magic 3 but I can't be bothered finishing HOMM 5.
I loved Civ 2 and its eps but I've only played about 3 games of Civ 4.
The Longest Journey was way better than Dreamfall.
Nothing has ever compared to Ultima 7.
Quest for Glory 5 was great - how many years ago was that now?
Baldur's Gate 2 was so huge I still haven't finished TOB. (And I'm not sure my computer can play it any more.)
Is it so wrong to want a decent, story filled, probably 2D rpg or linear adventure? How about a new Ultima using the Baldur's Gate 2 engine? Or a HOMM sequel with nice flat graphics instead of cringeworthy 3D characters? And a Dreamfall sequel without cheesy little "arcade" sequences?
So tell me. Why did every Sierra and Origin game get infinitely better in sequels and whereas todays RPGs and adventures seem to be going backwards? Should I retire (after a very considerable gaming history) and get a shares portfolio to occupy my time? Anyone else feel the same or am I alone in my torment? - Planescape Torment, that is. Please reply!

get shares portfolio if you can get a wall street journal without travelling everyday an hour for it......
im just here because i have no company and no money otherwise i wouldnt play games at all and im about your age....
even though my writing skills let room for different conclusions about my age...
but seriously i shares are allways a cool hobby, it really sucks full time but as a hobby its pretty cool and to origin sequals come on privateer 2 sucked so much compared to privateer 1 and what about wing commander, all ne titles were so cool in the first moment but if we think about the first one was the best of all time... by the way did already have those furball jokes???
