Rant: The Retro Feel and the Current Gamers

I pretty much just spilled out on Twitter what I thought about Retro games and how current games and gamers just won't have the same experiences. I don't think I can word it any better, so these series of tweets are word for word.

"I miss when it was Nintendo vs Sega. They both had great consoles and games."

"If Sega can come up with the Dreamcast 2, it could spark that rivalry again. Great games came out the first time, this could happen again!"

"(In response to someone) Yeah... today there just doesn't seem to be the same enthusiasm or creativity..."

"It makes me sad that newer generations of Gamers won't have the same experience as they were back in NES/Genesis and stuff..."

"Old games... I like playing them, but it makes me sad at the same time. The times these games were made... May never be done again..."

"Gaming... It just doesn't feel the same as it used to be..."

"(In response to a possible 2nd coming that feels like it did back then) I wouldn't even know what direction that would go, what could be done? I don't even know if it would feel the same..."

"Yeah... Magic can't happen twice... Just, won't feel the magic again... Will be lost once everyone who experienced it is gone..."

"Yeah... People can share their experiences with others and the newer, but the true feeling just will cease to exist..."

"(In response to passing our experiences on to the younger gamers) Yes, I shall do the same if I ever have children... From the start... Or a young apprentice if I can't..."

It makes me sad everytime I think about this, gaming just doesn't feel the same as it did when it started, and it saddened me even more that newer gamers won't get to have these experiences...
