How are you going to react to your kids when they state that Half-life 2 is a crappy game compared to Halo 19, or that Fallout 3 isn't a good game when you could be playing Final Fantasy 74?

Then I say Half Life 2 Episode 4 is better than Halo 19. But then I wouldn't actually care I guess so. Half Life 2 will defenetly suck when Halo 19 comes out.

I don't have kids, thankfully.

If I did, and they said that about Half-Life 2, I'd sit them down and talk to them about the "The Noobs and the Gamers".
Haha, best display of parental authority ever.

Heehee, Final Fantasy 74

It's funny because there's a big chance of it happening o_O

I'd just say "well dear, grandma finished all the tomb raider games in the time it took you to do one level of halo 19, so maybe its not that good a game? now come eat your damn tea!"

"eat your damn tea?" What kind of solidified tea do you serve at your house grandma?

I intend to raise the hypothetical children I don't plan to have on a steady diet of retro consoles so they understand what Nintendo Hard is before I let them anywhere near an updated console. If they want to play Ultra Call of Duty 15 Turbo 4D Remix: Jovian Overlords with mind impulse command interface, they're going to have to earn it. Then we'll discuss what a good game is.

Tea can also mean dinner in Britain.

I would slap some sense into them.

Wow. That's ...... strange.

OT: I'll tell the kids about the time when not every game was a remake, and that games are pretty much copy and pasted from the previous one, with little or no change.

I'd take their Playstation 27x19 and their Xbox Super 1640 away, sit them down with original contra and make them beat it with no cheats. Then if they managed that, I would say that their skills from Halo 19 have truly paid off, and they may continue their rainbow coloured bloomfest.

Hey, Half-life 2 won't suck. Does Super Mario suck?... Hells no

I'm going to say I agree. I'm not a fan of "old" games, I don't look though rose colored glasses like most retro fans.

I'd be playing those games xD

And would correct them, just because a game is of another generation doesn't make it crappy... Space invaders and tetris are still two of the greatest games ever!

Half-Life will be like a retro game you can play for free on the internet. The kids will still think it's great although I would guess the retail games they have then will greatly dazzle and outshine any games we currently have. Anyway, Half-Life 2 Episode 3 will be coming out around then haw haw haw.

I will never have this problem.

My dislike of the FPS genre aside, if my child (god forbid I have children) ever talks back, I will punch him in the mouth.
If he does it again, I'll smack him with a 2x4.

He'll learn to shut the fuck up after the second trasngression.
If not, clearly he's too stupid to have come from me.
You gonna be such a good daddy

I'd tell them to play Half Life 2 as punishment for bad mouthing such an awesome game.
I'd also take away their NIntendo GAME GOD.

I would probably say something along the lines of "You shut your fucking mouth. I've been a Valve fanboy for 50 long years and you don't tell me some new shitty game developer is going to beat classics like that."
