Sorry about Necroing this thread but I want to trot out my spin on this line of reasoning.
I dont think there is anything wrong with not liking current RPGs, provided you actually give the rules a read through. If you instantly shoot down a game because its from after 1989 your being as bad as the people who insist that you play the "one true RPG".
Personally, if someone wants me to give a new game a try, and I'm not interested? They can buy the game for me if they want so much for me to give it a chance.
