Letting Nostalgia dictate what games your playing?

I still play new games. Bayonetta is probably one of my top 10 favorite games of all time.
I just seem to like older games more simply because it's the kind of game I'm used to, it's not nostalgia.
I never played Skyblazer as a kid, but I did recently and toroughly enjoyed it even though I have no sentimental connection with it. The same happens to me often, maybe I just enjoy a certain type of game or game design philosophy that I can't just find on newer games bar a few exceptions. But that doesn't mean I play exclusively old games, or that I only play games I know from my childhood (although I admit I do play certain old classics that I love, every now and then)

lmao no.
I play everything and anything i want.I missed out on MSX so right now i go through its library.

I don't stick to the games I grew up with, but anything that came out for the systems I played with as a kid is automatically +5 points in my list. Like, I would always enjoy a mediocre game for a nostalgic system more than a great one for any system I missed.

Find it quite hard to enjoy modern shooters in the same way Unreal Tournament did it for me.

I just play what I'm interested in. If it's modern then it's modern. If it's older then it's older. I find that I mostly play older games because I just don't enjoy what the industry is putting out as much.

I'm honestly more interested in playing games I missed as a kid than revisiting the same ones, it's a 'new' experience with still a degree of nostalgic value. Plus some of the retro libraries are just ridiculously deep, you never really finish.

That's what I do. I simply can't get into any new games, retro or not. I can only play the games I played as a kid/teen.

If you only played your childhood games, you'd be limited to a handful of kiddie eduware titles.
