Hearing about all these games other people play/grew up with makes me feel kinda left out. q.q

Not this again. :I

I didn't play any video games until I was 8, and then it was just Ruby for like a year before I got Sonic Heroes. I definitely didn't "grow up with video games" either.

Didn't I make a quote a while back? You aren't as alone as you think.

Does this have anything to do with your dislike of "nostalgia" by any chance?

Not really. And mainly I just dislike nostalgia when it's used as an excuse to hate new things. ._.;

I just ... well, I never had an N64 or a PSX or a Dreamcast or anything like that. The next console I had after the NES was a PS2. And the games we played on it don't seem to be popular among the people here.

They're scary... but that's what I liked about them. I grew up on kid-friendly games like Super Mario Bros and Pokemon, so a sudden shift to something out of my comfort zone was... somehow addicting. I guess I just enjoy a change of pace once in a while.

I'm amazed we're friends then. =w=; I'm not above comparing newer games to older ones if I feel they deviate from the formula a franchise is based off of too much.
Don't get me wrong... trying new things is necessary to keep something from getting dull. But sometimes things like the newer Resident Evils or Castlevania: Lords of Shadow pop up that seem to completely lose their identity, being part of the franchise in name only.

The gaming industry peaked in 1999 with Superman 64 and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Well, I can understand that ... heck, when I first played ME2 after beating ME1, the spike in difficulty and radical change in game mechanics (as well as THREE IMPORTANT ACTIONS THAT ALL USE THE SAME KEY) almost made me give up on it. But over time I got used to it, and now ME1 is the awkward one of the bunch for me. xD

I see little point in hiding it, nor do I care if anyone agrees with me or not. =w=
I tend to find earlier entries in game franchises to be the best generally. Unless it's cases like Super Mario Galaxy that showcase how you make something different and make it actually work too.

Re: #Twitter Messages 9

Zelda fans are opposed to change of any kind.
They also hate reuse of successful formulas.

Why yes, they cannot be pleased, why do you ask? :3

There's always that crowd in any fandom. Didn't you see the pre-release XY blogs about the Fairy Type among other things? (Which were fun to read btw. It was hilarious seeing people get so frustrated over a game of all things, that wasn't even released yet.)

The Zelda fandom is one of the worst out there. XD

I mean sure they have plenty of good fans, but it seems like as a whole there are more complains coming from apparent fans than any other franchise that I know of.
