It's up for debate

One thing that is certain : there was no need to remember all the PS/XBOXesque button combinations on those old controlers :lol

A : shoot
B: jump
:lol

What gets me is the time they like to animate. I'm an impatient person, and I hate it when games go into movie like clips.

If Xbox controller schemes are daunting, Arma III would probably make your head explode.

The only option to play that game is with a keyboard.

Those games were more straightforward, that’s for sure.
Today games are more complicated, deep.
More entertaining? I would say no.
Most of those games were focused on players ability, jumping, shooting, moving, accelerating, etc.; current games give you choices you make with your head.
I like both type of games.

if velik was saying you're way off, I'm with him. gameplay and puzzles are way more important if you don't have graphical bells and whistles to cover for your rushed game.

What? Rushed game? What are you talking about?
Believe, there are more rushed old games than new ones.
Im talking about good games, the old versus the news.
Like I said, I like both, but the concept is different.

today's games are much more difficult and entertaining simply because of online play

good point The Reckoning, but old games were best for personal records because "conquering" the game in a certain time frame to top a personal best was more satisfying than beating some chinese girl playing in the back of some china town restaurant tbh
