Flappy bird requires the simplest of buttontouch screen interaction. Mario requires multiple button presses and for many it seems like its too much and unforgiving. There’s lives a timw limit and the game doesn’t automatically move you so in some ways I can see why many have a hard time with it. Generation difference man.
Why do you feel this way? As soon as you start to say “FUCK SOMETHING” in bold italicized print just backspace it and keep trucking with the explanation. I mean not every game can be Contra or Battletoads.
Because I’ve been reading some of the whiniest shit stuff I’ve ever seen lately.
Just today, I’ve seen a dude complain about Super Mario Bros. 3 being too hard to complete, a bunch of people whining about maybe possibly having to unlock custom moves in the new Smash Bros. despite the fact we don’t know if that’s the only way as the game hasn’t released yet, and people complaining about the Beat 'Em Up genre being boring and repetitive while they sing the praises of modern Final “just keep pushing A, oh wait, you don’t even need to do that, just set a Gambit” Fantasy… :bluu:
Yeah, that qualifies as weak to me.
No, not everything has to be Contra or Battletoads, but just because the game asks you to do more than advance a text box or has the audacity to have all of game’s content available as unlocks rather than DLC*(which people would gladly pay for, no questions asked)* doesn’t make them that difficult, either.
This is why I seem to be bubbling with rage all the time-- These things being acceptable annoy me to no end.
I don’t really have much to add to this, I just wanted to know if you have an explanation for what you said or if it was just regular old po rage.
Though I will say theres some ham handed generalization going on there. You cant call the whole of modern gamers bitch made in a generation where the Souls games, NG2, and DMC exist***. Past that, a lot of current games have some pretty challenging gameplay provided you give enough fucks to turn up the difficulty or that you seek the challenge in the first place. I know people that for the life of them cannot get past the 3rd level of MGR on Revengeance difficulty. I’ve done it myself but I’ve recently been curious how much of a pain in the ass that playthrough would be using ONLY the HF Sword. Even as much as you shit on the whole “GUNZ!” games of recent years, games like Halo 3/Reach/4 are absolutely fucking impossible on Legendary with all of the modifier skulls active. Modern games are not devoid of challenge. Now you just have to enable the challenge instead of it being there by default like it was in the days of old.
***Is it a coincidence that all of those are Japanese made games?
I think a lot of my problems actually stem from gamers themselves rather than the games, because as you said xXTerribleUserNameGuyXx, the games themselves are as challenging as they’ve ever been if you want them to be.
It’s just when I see someone complain about the Souls games, I want to Sweet Chin Music that fucker, because them shits aren’t hard so much as they require you to pay fucking attention to things, something most Western games just don’t do.
Ah well… Point still stands… Most gamers today are pansies who would commit suicide if they had to do Actraiser’s Final Act which consisted of a Boss Rush that had to be done on a single life-- If you died, you had to start over again at the first Boss all the way up to the Final Boss and his huge ass lifebar.
Pretty obvious what it is inspired by, Contra with a charge shot. Tried the demo and the first level wasn’t anything too special (it’s an intro level though), but second level’s boss was pretty fun to fight, especially after you destroy its 4 pieces. Difficulty of its first two are on par with Contra’s first two levels. Not sure why they have smoothing filter on by default, ew; Turn it off with the quickness in the options menu.
Not on steam yet but on Greenlight. Can check out the demo or buy the game through Desura or the creator’s website. $5.
Suddenly on PS4 subreddit, people keep complaining about lack of apps/features on the system. Months ago they were saying they didn’t care about apps/features.
Wall Street Journal is reporting that Microsoft is close to a deal to buy Mojang
That’d be a big win for Microsoft and suck Sony fans of the Minecraft franchise. I personally hope it doesn’t happen considering that Minecraft is making a killing right now…Microsoft would really be able to reach deep into their pockets and make a deal happen if they really wanted too though.
Rumor: EA Sports planning to remove Ray Rice from Madden NFL 15
DAYUM if true lol.
Lego Batman 3 gets a season pass…for every platform other than Wii U
Yeah…this is gotta be a running gag in the industry at this point.
Sunset Overdrive Season Pass content announced
3 different packs that will feature new bosses, locations, amps, traps, and weapons.
Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor delayed on xbox 360 and PS3
I’m conflicted. On the one hand, I would personally prefer MS spend that much money in other ways, or at least on other exclusives, plural. On the other hand, it is a hot property, & I’d enjoy the meltdowns :razzy:.
