I think that our generation shares the same sentiments, because the earlier games that we grew up on Atari 2600, NES, Master System all had games which are considered "downloadable" quick fix games. Games like Contra and Super Mario Bros that seemed like took forever to beat way back when can actually be completed in Minutes. As games got more sophisticated and thus longer, we got swept up in these new experiences and relished the challenge.

At the same time, everything was also NEW. We played 3D games for the first times, scared by Survival Horror for the first time, experienced Arcade quality graphics at home, heard movie quality scores echo out of our systems. We literally experienced the evolution of gaming.

Nowadays we are tasked with fighting the same bad guys, the same huge bosses, and traversing yet another distant land for that ever so precious item. Maybe we're just tapped out. Maybe these "bite sized" games are what video games have always been to us. A past time to partake in before our parents told us to turn off the TV and do homework, or we could only play on weekends. Most of all they made us think. Remember when games required cognitive skills and hand eye co-ordination? I do. Now a days with linear gameplay and shiny crates and "hint boxes" most games can be completed by randomly pressing buttons.

I feel you man. I feel you.
