Do You Believe That Games Lose Their Appeal Over Time?

[The 1 2 P]

No. j_factor was correct. The topic is is about video games losing their appeal over time. What happens in 20 years when these games are no longer playable on XBOX Live or PSN? You can't play with 16 people over at your home, the most you'll have is four people for the 360 or six people for the PS3. So they'll eventually lose their appeal. The PC version will still be playable with player ran servers.

Haven't you ever heard of lan parties? Anyway, I'm referring to games of the last and current gen in this internet multiplayer age. Old school games can lose their appeal much faster without any reply value such as online multiplayer(even though they never had it in the first place).

For me personally I am much more likely to keep playing games with some sort of multiplayer component over and over again. But if you are talking strictly old school pre-online multiplayer games then my philosophy is alittle different. I can still play those games but they lose their appeal much faster because once you complete them theres not much left to do unless they happen to have a few easter eggs. And the ones that did have multiplayer(like Contra) can still be quite fun to play.
