I won't argue that the tech isn't better, but the last time a story really captured me was Final Fantasy X, with the exception of The Walking Dead game. There are also certain games, like Final Fantasy Tactics or some of the older RPGs that I don't think would've benefited from more robust technology and still hold a candle to any current game as far as fun factor. There should also be some consideration to the fact that some of the earlier games spawned entire genres or atleast got them going on consoles. I personally don't remember playing any FPS before Goldeneye(I'm sure the genre was already well established on PC). I've played great FPS's since then, but you always look back on your first with some fondness. IDK, I guess when I look at it, I'm more nostalgic for the PS1 and N64 era than the SNES and Genesis era, which was the era of my childhood. I think the problem now is there are just so many AAA titles that come out, with so many being so similar. It's hard to get pumped about blasting aliens in one game when there's 30 others that do the same thing with its own little flair.
