Why I collect the 6th generation

Christmas came and went, a new generation came with it. Yes I am talking the Xbox one and PS4 and so far I am not impressed. But I also got a gamecube my heart leapt playing Rogue leader again I sang christmas carols with delight. Then valentines day came and I found a playstation 2 with more grins then all cats in cheshire I  played Metal gear solid 2.The flood of nostalgia was intense, now a week later coming to the end of Metal gear solid I realised the new console are getting dusty, the games just as much. I'm not even planning to play any of the new games but thinking of playing Killzone because I never finished it. But I was thinking why this generation? I could of gone older with PS1 and N64 era because they are easy enough to come by and I had both consoles. The games were great I loved them ocarina of time, fear effect 2 and others. But the PS2 and Gamecube were when I started finishing games more frequently I started work and wasn't going outside as much.
Yeah this somes it up
So I was finishing games and living the full game was something I was enjoying and didn't even think about going out drinking. So  I have more nostalgic feelings towards this generation. I was still playing my playstation one and Nintendo 64, I finished many of the older games but this was the generation I actually started looking forward to new releases. So I getting a new game was a reason to work. Then I started PC gaming so I was starting to bloom as a gaming geek. With all the ups and downs life through at me these were games that cheered me up i could go back again and again. I also believe this was the last generation that actually seemed no to have proper single player campaigns that couldn't be completed over a weekend  and took a while (ok I mentioned being almost through MGS2 in a week but this is my first rodeo). With more focus on online multiplayer, split screen is dying no longer is it about joining in with your friends over a cold beer but by being sworn at by kids. 
yet they complain about violence in games
The gaming community is being filled with idiots like these and giving proper gamers a bad name. So until next time have fun and join us on google plus and youtube
