you ain't getting old, ya spring chicken!  You just like what u like!  

I forgot I said that. lol

I like levels too. I probably still wouldn't play NES games on a regular basis if I didn't lol. I had enough of that "immersion" crap last gen. Just give me a game that is fun and doesn't have a gagillion bugs. That's good enough.

I agree. I do like to be immersed, I just don't think the way they're going about it really works for me the way it seems to for others.

I like both but if I had my choice I would probably side with segments. I like the constant flow of a game instead of hitting the end of a level, and here is the start of another level. Of course with games like Tomb Raider/Uncharted and other similar games it works, and I think having straight up levels would probably hurt these types of games. 

Honestly, the more I play Rayman Legends, the more I would tend to agree with you. I do like having it sectioned off so that momentum doesn't slow down. Thing is, the segments in Tom Raider can be like three seconds of button mashing, which I think makes the game feel less substantial and also slows its momentum down. It's all a balancing act really, I just grew up on games that balanced it in favor of one way and that's what I tend to like better in many cases. I have restarted entire levels in Legends cause I knew I missed a Teensie. lol
