Lately i've been wondering whether or not I'm just '' whining'' when I ask if games have only turned into a 3D demonstration designed to only satisfy the gamer with the most money.... and tonight I've made up my mind. It sure has.

I remember a time when I was younger, when games where all about throwing out completely different ideas in the form of RPG's, FPS's or RTS games. A time where the gaming industry seemed like they were all thinking ''Well hey! We can't change how much the graphics of today sucks but since it's 3D let's just concentrate on the gameplay!''. If you ask me those were the greatest of times. Games had gotten 3D and that was all we needed. No fancy ''Anti-Aliasing'' or special effects were needed to spice up these games since they all had unique stories and gameplay elements... I can remember games like Half-Life, Blood II and Quake III that really got me excited with pc gaming. Never before had the games come alive in such a fashion that i could turn in any direction and walk it... Years passed and just like so many others i got more and more amazed with how the graphics in games were progressing, and how new lighting effects really helped the games come better to life... and yet I didn't take 3D for granted when I tried games like Baldur's Gate, a game that introduced me to role playing for the first time. I was simply shocked how all these games without drawing me in them physically like new games do, still managed to reach me in a much more personal manner. I could go on an on about the many games i tried back then (Many of them using the Quake III engine too), but that would only ruin the blog, and it probably is bad enough already...

Games have taken us to other worlds with and without simple 3D, and a question i dare ask everyone is: Do you believe that these new games will ever satisfy you in the same way the old games did? Has the gaming industry turned from gameplay to graphics or am I missing something? I know some of you might say '' take it easy just wait and get a new pc!'' but it's always easy for them to say that when they're not watching their pc slowly turn into a heap of junk thinking '' why didn't I wait and buy a better pc?''....

Anyway I know this blog post is probably not completely thought through but i hope that's not really the point....

And by the way plz post your comments on this because I really would like to hear how people feel about this and whether or not this blog post was any good.
