I don't. A lot of my favorite games are older games and I think well made retro games have qualities that still make them good games today, all nostalgia aside. But I don't know about the blanket "old good new bad" mentality. It feels like taking a preference and trying to make it a definitive fact.

I grew up in the shit-tier "we don't even know what we're doing yet" pre-Atari era. I've played it all, I've seen it all. And I'm being honest, some shit just got better. The Batman games I had on the C64 and NES aren't as good as the Arkham games. They just aren't. I still like Doom but I don't necessarily think it's the best FPS ever made.

If you ask me shit just peaks at specific times and sometimes stuff has already peaked, sometimes it peaked a long time ago and sometimes it' peaking now. But it depends on what you're talking about. Arcades peaked in the mid 80's. Platformers probably peaked in the late 80's / early 90's. Squaresoft RPG's peaked in the PS1 era (personal opinion). The Metal gear franchise peaked on the PS2. Capeshit games probably just peaked with the PS3/PS4 era. The current gen doesn't seem to have much going for it but maybe in retrospect this will be the peak coombait era because of all the gacha shit that came out before the nanny state killed the internet

There's no era of gaming with nothing to offer and none where *everything* was good or bad. It depends on what you want and what you like. Get off my lawn.

Yeah those NFCGs against the Cowboys WERE the super bowl for all intents and purposes because whoever won those games not only went on to win the owl but utterly destroyed whatever hapless team came out of the AFC.

Those Cowboy teams were just bullshit because in the pre-free agency era the draft was everything and they got multiple firsts for like three consecutive years. It was pretty much stacking the deck. Thankfully once free agency as a thing based Eddie D. could spend like a madlad to close the talent gap and put an end to the Dallas scourge.

The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles got 20-something episodes but only oldfags will remember it
