Do RPG's Get Better With Age?

No. They're still as good as they were when they first showed up, however the folks who played them have changed as well as the standards to which games are held. We can just appreciate them more than we did back then, that's all.

I'd even say that RPGs have steadily been getting better as the hardware allows the development team to get more of their ideas into the game without compromising it. It just boils down to more freedom and detail in all aspects of the game. Of course, you need a creative group to take full advantage of this and deliver a damn fine title.

I don't know how you can sit back and say the quality of storytelling hasn't gone down in the genre. Which is a genre that depends on its storytelling to be what it is.

Seems like a matter of perception, since it seems like it'd be easier to jump to the conclusion that stories are weaker on the whole nowadays if there's obvious effort in the visuals and/or music. Personally, I think that the overall quality of games on the whole has improved.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
