Couldn't have said it better myself

I think it's all down to the inherent ability of the player and parenting. When I was young, I played through the Megaman Zero series, Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap, the Sonic Advance series, Pokemon FireRed, and Super Mario World, among probably a few other games as well on my GBA. I was never interested in blood and gore or cussing, due to my parents, and my parents were also never good at video games, so it was myself that was just naturally good at video games.
I used to clear Megaman Zero 3 once, twice, or even thrice a day back when I was a lot younger. Being a young gamer does not automatically equate to being bad 100% of the time.
I think it's just nowadays, younger kids aren't exposed to games like those anymore. It seems that most younger gamers just aren't nearly as skilled with those games anymore, cause they're simply not as openly exposed to platformers anymore. Slowly, platformers are fading away from what is called the "mainstream".
Oh jeez. 90% of teenagers swear very much. Wearing punk clothing sounds kinda...Stereotypical I guess? Also from the bad view of girls, I WOULD assume it's because he has bad experiences with girls, but that's not a very likely answer and it would be otherwise ridiculous. I'm pretty sure a lot of people don't have THAT much problem with women.
Wow. WOW. That guy is kinda, ugh...Well it does sounds like he's a jealous kind of person I guess.
I agree with TTA there. It's like saying that a video game killed that teenage boy who died of heart attack from playing Sonic 06. Which the press BLAMED video games as an excuse.
I guess. Still, plenty of kids on COD are either acting like jackasses, cry babies, or just too easy to troll. Even plenty of them are spoiled...How DO their parents raise their kids this generation?
Mhm. Double agree points.
I kinda, agree. The little kids' minds MAY grow as they become smarter and older too. Maybe a few or some little kids are maturer than "those" typical little kids because they had to learn the real world early.
I think Rex needs to think before he REALLY says he don't mind insults...
Lemme ask this. What if there WAS a TF2 player that only played TF2 JUST for hats? Think about it.
Well posting convo threads are a little easier because you can still have time to reply...So that you're not too late to say anything about it, right? And yeah everyone already knows of the things you listed, even well, everyone here.
I'll admit, Sky's viewpoints of younger gamers' skills about the video games is pretty much 90% true. As much as I like Megaman, X, Zero, ZX, Battle Network and Star Force, you guys should just try out Devil May Cry. I know TTA here likes it, but has any one of you played it?

Well for my childhood...I USED to have a SEGA Dreamcast with Dreamcast Generator Vol. 2 with all those Dreamcast demos that has Sonic Adventure, Rayman 2, Dead Or Alive, Fur Fighters, MDK2, Tony Hawk Skateboarding and Railroad Tycoon. Plus Tomb Raider. I even lost that disc. Even though I USED to have a N64 with those N64 games, but I lost all of those N64 cartridges and lost my N64. I even used to have a Hey You Pikachu! game except I have no mic so I couldn't play it fully. Even I had a Xbox, yet it was the only old console I didn't loose. I lost those old consoles because my dad forgot to bring it with us when we were moving to somewhere else. Atleast we came back for my Gameboy Advance, which was the only one there with my GBA games and got back to our house. No Dreamcast nor N64 was ever sighted either.
Uhm. I played Halo when I was around 4 years old yet I wasn't ever scared nor have I ever got interested to try online mode at all. I even used to play with my dad on it almost all the time. Define "unless they're quite mature for their age".
I should define it seeing as it has mislead you (sorry). What I meant was mature in behaviour: not acting like a delinquent or an ignorant child that learns all the bad things from video games and tries it out in real life. You're fine Mazefire, I think that you're mature enough to play games that are over your age.
I gotta say though, I LOVED GOD OF WAR when I was 9.
I just loved seeing all of that blood and gore and that DMC-esqe gameplay
and damn, those puzzles really test your logic, you'd be jumping around and hitting stuff when a lever or a box was there the whole time and then you're like;
WHHHATTT?!?!
But yeah, you can give a kid a M game, like God or Gears of War, it's as fake anyway and it won't really hurt them, ya know, unless you hid your knives, possibly don't own a gun at home or some stupid crap like that.
And that whole platformer thing....its like that Classic Sonic argument, if it lost all appeal to people it's a major fad, I like platformers, but you don't have to shove some 12 year olds face with Super Mario Bros and expect them to play it and be alright with it.
Kid: I don't want to!
You: EMBRACE THE 8 BIT GRAPHICS, THIS IS BETTER THAN YOUR COD!!!!!
Kid: Stop forcing me!
You: THE MEDIA IS BRAINWASHING YOU!!! FIGHT IT WITH PLATFORMERS!!
Just watch, FPS are going to slowly die down as well.
Exactly. FPS sure are gonna die down so much as well. A LOT of Americans are into FPS. And yet almost EVERYWHERE I hear someone listening to rap. Ugh...Rap is SO overrated.
