Do you guys think we'll ever run out of retro games from

I think most of us will die of old age before that becomes an issue, given the ridiculous number of good retro games that exist.

Additionally, I think a blanket refusal to play literally all modern games is ridiculous.

Especially since I actually enjoy 90% of the 6th Gen. Only thing I disdain is the XBox.

I grew up with late 80s and early to mid 90s stuff. Later games becoming """""retro""""" doesn't affect me in the slightless because it's not about playing old games, it's about playing games that resemble the ones I'm fond of. Not even all """"retro"""".

I don't refuse to play them, it's just most of them really aren't appealing to me. There's like three-four new releases per year that actually hold my interest, which is good since I wouldn't have time for more games.

I don't think we'd run out of retro games from our time, but I do think we will run out of retro games for ourselves if that makes sense.

We all had a certain style, a certain interest, maybe multiple styles and interests when we were younger, and when we were very impressionable. It's why we will constantly battle over for example, ALTTP vs OoT, both fine games, but the moment someone declares one better than the other, and that other is the game that made that impression on us, we have that snap urge to defend it.

I think for most people, unless you're hardcore just INTO all things retro and that's your overall interest, eventually you will run out of games that are in the styles you enjoy. If you play 7 different retro RPGs, that's great, and they each bring unique stories and a few tweaks to the mechanics here and there, but purely from a gameplay standpoint they're going to blend together. Like anything, you become desensitized, and each game you play that becomes increasingly more abstract to what drew you to the genre in the first place, is going to bring you closer to a point where your interest wanes.

Long story short, as far as quantity is concerned, no, I don't think we'll run out, but as far as what we as individuals consider quality, yes, I do believe this is much more limited.

yeah, that makes sense
