The most basic principle of Gears of War is broken.<br /><br />I'm not sure about you, but I'm getting bored of all the set pieces that games are now strewn with getting in the way of the game.Random thoughts of Stephen Herfsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17621768978120534322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694411025126076649.post-220887147152923432011-11-08T03:49:19.141-08:002011-11-08T03:49:19.141-08:00Yeah, gameplay is definitely important. And I main...Yeah, gameplay is definitely important. And I mainly play games from 2-3 years old and they are still fine (and you save yourself a lot of money instead of buying brand new games which are 5 times the price).<br /><br />However I think there is also a bit of a benchmark on graphics. I might muck around with some old-school arcade games occasionally, but I dont think I could go back to space invaders with 2D sprites.<br /><br />Also another aspect of newer games is story and production values (e.g. voice acting, music etc).
