I guess it's a cultural thing + buyer's remorse or how you call it, since that's what you've been exposed to for the most of your life.

I grew up in the other part of the world, the only popular games being Quake 1/2/3, Half Life, Star Craft +BW, Diablo 1/2+LoD, Red Alert, CS and later Lineage 2. I have no recollection of Nintendo at all. It was non existent in this part of the world (except the "Dendy", the bootleg hardware clone of NES for us, we all played mario and mortal kombat for a while, but then it died just as quick as it appeared).

Looking at Nintendo games now, I could see why they might be popular with younger kids, buy I'll never buy into the fact that an adult might like them, that just seems like some advertising ...

Today I can't even imagine not gaming on a computer, both AAA, indie games and big name games are shit though.

I can confirm that the above is an accurate description, seeing how I could almost instantly tell the part of the world in question.

FWIW I do think that countries where gaming consoles weren't as common and/or arrived later - i.e. much of Eastern Europe - have a more PC-centric gaming culture in general.
