/vr/ - Retro Games

I would like to discuss this here since /v/ is filled with a bunch of megalomaniacs.
Why is it that when people look at the 'retro gaming' they look only at the very greats and play only them, and spout gibberish that say that 'the classics were way better, modern cripe is way worse'. Yet, when they play modern stuff, they play the worst games, and not the so called hidden classics of the modern generation.
