Your smugness betrays you.
Folks, behold: we have discovered the Aswald of videogames.
As much as you tout how smart you are (both indirectly here and in your prior posts on these forums), you are stupid too.
For one, while having what you believe to be an astute, ahead of the curve point of view, you make these posts not as one trying to reason and discuss, but as one trying to prove superiority and coming off, as JesusHC said, as a monstrous troll. If you were truly not stupid, you would have never began your discussion as such. As it is, you are already several steps behind attempting to make an acceptable argument for your point.
While you operate on a level that you see as smart, those around you - especially here in this thread - are quite convinced you are a moron. And they would be right solely based off your own logic, that being "I have no proof, other I know Americans because I live among them, so I know very well how dumb they can be.". Well, we can see you posting and you sound pretty foolish. Show me objective stupidity and maybe you'd have a case why you're smart.
So in closing on that point: lol yur dum
To your actual argument, you are, in a sense, pulling a Roger Ebert. Instead of games not being art, you are saying classic games are essentially art and modern games are not. The problem is the core of the discussion: these are games. They are entertainment. "What is successful is what is popular." There's a reason for that. People have fun playing them; just because you don't doesn't make them 'crap'. Again, subjective. You are not smart and you are not the Roger Ebert of games.
You wear rose colored glasses to classic games, almost a complete antithesis to the notion among "modern" gamers that older games are bad because they have poor graphics and are old. Your motivation for having such a hipster/arrogant asshole/snooty/elitist attitude is unbeknownst to us, as details left from your own background would probably paint a picture of bitterness for whatever reason. Let it go. Whatever you want to have fun with, do. You have your entertainment; everyone else has theirs.
So in closing on that point: lol u mad bro?
Look, I get it. Society seems dumber. It's hard to refute that we're working our way to Idiocracy. Certain posters on this board (... in this very thread) have really done nothing but bolster your argument by leaps and bounds. But just because we're having a good time, from your perspective "stupidly", don't shit in everyone else's cornflakes. It's almost like your bitterness about modern gaming can't be turned off and you can't enjoy what we do. Whether or not that's by smug choice or not, who knows.
And finally, in closing: lol u jelly?
