@TeaCatherine Let me tell you a marvellous story then. A story of a glamorous past, vowen with golden thread of hope and happiness.
A long time ago, in 1998, there was a lot of great games. It wasn't the golden age of gaming yet, but it was still great. Spyro Crash and Mario somehow coexisted on the market. What the gaming was lacking, was an FPS with complex storytelling. And then came Half Life. A survival horror shooter with impressive AI and immensive story about an undergound laboratory experiment gone horribly wrong.
Years passed and the future of gaming looked brighter and brighter. It was a time of hope. Wind Waker came out, and everything was fun. People looked forward to new releases, but not like now, where almost every AAA is meh or disappointing. Looking forward to games was exciting, and playing them was filled with joy rarely seen nowadays. And on one faithful day of 2004, children of the world received a gift almost unparalleled by everything that came before. Half Life 2 came and changed gaming forever.
It was a pure bliss. Endless days spent by either losing yourself in absolute extasy of exploring an almost photorealistic, dystopian world, or on dreaming about a pc machine capable of computing advanced physics. Physics, that was used both in combat, in solving many logic puzzles, or for pure enjoyment. The plot, the characters, enemies, weapons, even planks and textures of sand, were forever imprinted in young minds experiencing what seemed to be the ultimate form of gaming.
Looking back, the young minds would often find themselves lost in thoughts, reminiscing the times when everything seemed exciting, when people would come around, talking endlessly about various gimmicks found along the way, reading colorul magazines with pretty pictures of buggies riding on the coastline and letting their imagination flow freely.
It was magnificent.

@TeaCatherine au contraire, I played it to bits. It's one of the beloved mastepieces of gaming, after all. Perhaps I have phrased that poorly. I mean, everyone else who played it would agree. It's not a pink tinted childhood memory, nuh uh.

@blindsquarel
I would like to see Sly Cooper style of Mario & Luigi games. Mario & Luigi become secret agents and use spionage skills & spy gadgets to infiltrate the secret places.
@Kermit1
I wish Shigeru Miyamoto could agreed with more new ideas of Mario & Luigi games as current Mario games are boring in my opinion.
I'm tired with damsel in distress plot all the time which still no explanation behind the princess Peach kidnap, some different plots such new enemies instead of Bowser or more interaction between Mario & Luigi to show their brotherhood or some new outfits for them with modern touch and different functions instead of plumber outfits all the time.
@TeaCatherine I didn't have anything to put in there so I just combined kek (a version of lol that was on the internet a bit of time ago) and magnum opus (the grand artwork), the most important, crown achievement of someone.
