I haven't heard of The Last Guardian before E3, but the trailer for it looked awesome! Kinda lol'd at the comments on youtube though. Everybody is wondering when that dog/lemur/bird/bat thing is gonna die...lol.
The 90's was the golden era of games. Everybody was way more positive back then because games were still relatively a new thing (though officially the 80's were the 'golden era', but I wasn't born back then so not like I can agree to something I've never experienced). Final Fantasy 7, for example, had terrible graphics excluding the cut scenes and the steampunk-esque artwork. But people loved it anyway because of the story! Now they're going to remake it and I'm so happy <333
I'm also starting to think that perhaps people think it's "cool" to be so negative about today's games. Think hipsters, but replace your indie bands with EA and Ubisoft. I don't blame them *too* much though, because it had gotten to a point where nice visuals were the main selling pints for games. Boring storyline/gameplay, but realistic looking backgrounds and humans. At least the developers are trying to fix that now...like Watchdog...
