[General Discussion] Do RPG's Get Better With Age?

I think older games are generally better because the actual story telling and atmosphere was different. I feel a lot of RPG games today are lacking that atmosphere. Many new games incorporate the RPG systems of old games, but rarely try to to do something else with it. I guess nostalgia has something to do with it partly, but still, in the past it felt like they were trying to create real adventures, exploring otherworldly lands, magical powers and mystical creatures, having epic fights with evil masterminds. Nowadays it often feels like they're doing "just another RPG" and adding some cliché story to it because it's just "a game". Why can't games today just get a proper story?

Jam it back in, in the dark.
