[Rant] What's Wrong with Video Games These Days?

I think I'd like HD gaming if I had the proper setup. Have you tried reading text messages in GTA4 while on a regular TV? It's freakin' brutal. But, anyway, the idea of everything being in HD just for the sake of being in HD seems like a common practice. Kind of like how color TV replaced the old black and white ones.

I'd like to have more games that are graphically appealing while still having an intriguing story. Maybe hire better writing teams. Then again, if a game's fun, the writing sometimes doesn't matter... like, MGS4. More than half of that shit made no sense to me, but it was still a hella fun game to go through. Sure, it'd be nice to have a great, coherent story, but I guess sometimes you have to give up one for the other.

How ya doing, buddy?

Are you kidding? I'm still in awe at the N64's graphics! Once I get my hands on a 64DD and that Mario Paint game--man, it's gonna be wicked-awesome. I should probably also learn Japanese.
