11 Reasons Gaming Was Better When You Were Younger

10. No Arguments About Frame Rates

"Oh man this is running at 30fps." "So what, mine is running at 32fps." "Yeah? Get a life man, check out this 60fps." The world has deteriorated into a state of "Who's got the better X stat", a problem that never existed when the likes of the Sega Genesis, SNES or Playstations were doing the rounds. Everyone played the same game the same way and conversed about it accordingly, meaning that when gamers got together they could talk about how entertaining the game was, not which device plays it more smoothly. Another salient point to be made is that back during the reign of all the old consoles the developers were fully aware of their limitations and made games that worked. Developers of late however for some unknown reason constantly try to push the limits of their format, this inevitably ends in glitchy games with moments of immersion killing frame rate drops.
