I've been playing games now for almost 30 years starting with the atari and nes. I played through all the different generations up till today and I find games are having diminishing returns on my own enjoyment. For the most part the average game that gets released now is 'better' in terms of experienced creators having played games their whole life too. But there were a lot of old games made by very dedicated programmers with a staff consisting of less than 10 people, who put they're whole heart into making the game. Now I see games made by hundreds of people (perhaps some have thousands), and while some are worth their merit, many are still disappointing unfinished heaps of trash.

I'm finding it hard to justify paying for the TripleA games ($40) when there are countless quality games being made for a fraction of that cost.

I tend to fall back on my old library of games rather than invest in newer things now, my favourite game Zelda 2 on the nes I still play and compete live on twitch regularly.

There are quality gem titles released for every generation... maybe except for cd-i that i still look for, but I have enough games to last me until the end of days.
