I'm I to much old school or I'm not the only one that is hoping for game like DoD:S 2 DX 11 style. I mean much improved graph but with a simple and good easy gameplay, something that doesn't look like a complex game.

All the new FPS game look to me very to complex. Maybe they are a good step ahead in realism but when you need all the key on your keyboard to play, it's seem to be impossible to just play and relax from a hard day of work.

So guys, i'm I starting to be too old to be a FPS player or i'm not the only one that feel that gaming fell appart arcade like and easy fun stuff to very very complex games?

Tell me your tought and I'll pray very hard for a DoD:S DX 11 remix loll !
 
I havent seen a complex fps in....well to be honest i cant remember every playing an overly complex or complicated fps.

So im not to sure what your talking about.
 
There aren't many Complex FPS games. It's usually "Go kill this guy, Then kill these guys, Then go kill some more guys" In Single player. Even in Multiplayer, Same concept pretty much.

I think your referring to the graphic enhancements. Such as dirt, Gravel, Metal pieces flying through the air. Making your eyes deal with much more things on the screen, Thus, Stressing them more. I agree. This is unnecessary. Small little Animations in TF2 is about as much as they should get. Maybe a bit more, If in a more open space, But besides that, it should be around that.

But, There's nothing we can really do to stop game devs from creating them. About 80% of the FPS poputation care about those things. Sad, Right?

This is irrelavant, But, Here's a rule I go by. Gameplay>Graphics.

If the gameplay is good. I'll play it. If it's bad, I wont. Graphics are just a bonus. And yes, There are some games that I can include having "Bad Graphics" But thats simply because the devs are usually to lazy to make it look simple, and pleasing to the eye. Looks of tearing in the models and textures is not a pleasent site. And all games get those bugs eventually, But some have it more than others. Which can become annoying. Making the gameplay also hard to enjoy because of simple Graphic bugs.

Games like Galaga (I think I spelled it right) Are still some of my favorite games. Yet, They were made almost 15 years ago? As old as I am. Graphics dont matter. Anyone who tells you so, Is wrong.

That was a bit off topic, But newer FPS games are going over the top.
 
I can't explain it either Crasher, but I'm right there with you. Beyond Source games I have a really hard time getting into modern FPS games. They aren't as appealing to me anymore. Left 4 Dead was probably the last one I bought, and if I hadn't played the demo I wouldn't have even bothered to buy it.

I think for me its just my game tastes are changing. I'll still log into steam from time to time and have a blast with our clan source games (or Zombie Panic lol) but aside from that I'm just not too interested in the FPS genre anymore. I just can't seem to get good at them, or at least good enough to the point that I can enjoy playing them.

Maybe that helps a little?
 
I've noticed that things I liked as a young gamer no longer appeal to me now. I guess its inevitable, maybe someday ill stop all together, :(. But until then lets live it up!
 
I don't think we'll ever stop altogether. My dad is 57, he has played and loves Rainbow 6: Las Vegas, and I'm almost positive he still plays Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour almost every night.
 
Thats what I love about DoD:S and CS:S, they are simple I can just pick DoD up and play and have fun. With CoD 4 I will find myself a bit noob after not playing for like a month, but my DoD skills just are there to stay.

I really do hope that they will make another Day of Defeat (would be a great bundle with a new CS ;) )
