Is it downhill from here?

I nulled as well. I think part of the 'decline' is due to the fact that as you grow older you lose the child-like fascination of video games and become obsessed with issues like playing perfectly balanced competitive games. (Not that wanting a balanced game is a bad thing)

Some of my fonder memories were of playing nintendo games like Mario and Zelda then talking about them with friends at school.

What the hell is wrong with you people that you say BF2 was somehow the best game you've played?

Life isn't downhill after your median age, life is downhill after your pinnacle of happiness. That is really the kind of difference I'm talking about.

so you are always chasing the video game 'high' you got from BF2? Sucks to be you, m80. Perhaps you need to change your outlook from, "x game is awesome and makes me happy" to "video games are awesome and make me happy".

You need to figure out the difference between being obsessed with the best and objectively understanding what is the best.

What the hell is wrong with you who judge other people's opinions?

I don't play many different games. Plus this is the only game I have been coming back to play again and again and again. Not saying it is the best made so far, not saying it is the highest quality game I've played, just saying it's given me the most fun from a video game. I can't say it is the best ever period since I haven't played tons of other games.
Age of Empires 2 is a game I love. It has a lot less problems than Battlefield 2 has, but is it my favorite? Not anymore.

...objectively understanding what is the best. For a video game. Lol. You need to reread that sentence to figure out why I am laughing at you.

Objectively understanding what is subjectively the best for yourself. It makes sense. Reminiscing about what games you had fun with without the aforementioned rose tinted glasses.

I loved goldeneye. I loved the battlefield series. I don't need to create a benchmark or put a game on a pedastel simply to compare everything else to it. Games are fun. Some games are more fun than others. I like playing video games and that's not going to change suddenly when I'm 35. It sounds like you are the one that needs to change your outlook mr. there will never be a better game than ___. I guess what I am saying is it's only downhill if you want it to be. It's all perspective.

Dauntless, shut up.

Yes. Playing GOW on XBOX Live with my friends everyday after school years ago was the "best game" ever. It brought gaming, for me, to a whole new level. With the trash talk, the close games, the teamwork, the required skill to win, everything about GOW made it fun to play.

I hate those people who consistently think everything was better before and always moan about the present. Most of the time it's because that was back when they were a kid and a lot of things easily amused them, which isn't so now. Then when they revisit these things it's simply a case of nostalgia holding them with its vice grip. That's how I see it.

then i got various CoD's and they were the best games ever

BF2 for multiplayer and HL2 for singleplayer. I have yet to find a game that progressing/finishing it stirred the same feelings as those two. Modern games are like a chore, and all the interest revolves around unlocks and curiosity about the next level. They feel like the developer has taken away your "freedom", that you are playing a game like the way the dev wants, not you.

On the other hand, I don't play a lot of games anymore... so I may be biased

Meh,, Considering the fact they are doing the game on console too (they have to keep it down for them ), we might have a chance of running it

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me

I never had anywhere near the fun i had in bf2 from release version up until 1.2 when they fucking ruined it. I swear i thought that the perfect game had been created.

so yes, its downhill from here.

Every game now has super duper graphics making it hard as fuck to see enemies. Coupled with my increasingly shitty eyesight and the fact i don't have my twitch reflexes anymore ive become a sickeningly average player. Games that come out nowadays are way too noob friendly i hate getting killed by something that takes little effort to use. Its all point and click bullshit. I started my online gaming at a young age playing the original Counterstrike, MOH:AA, and COD1 (The first COD was not a retard game like COD4 is, it took serious talent to own at it) so im the type of person that likes to learn the walking movements and burst fire techniques that allow you to run around killing people while they hold down the trigger and wonder why they cant hit shit. Games don't do that anymore, its "heres your inch and a half accuracy cone and a 200 round M249 magazine just hold down the trigger and you'll get them eventually." Bad company 2 has this back in the day gameplay to a degree but its useless because as soon as you poke your head out anywhere a barrage of 40mm grenades and Carl Gustav rockets comes flying your way and after 50 hours im getting fucking tired of that game.
