I think it has to be castlevania 2. That seems to be the gkdair test of true excellence!

Ok, this is a funny review:

Do you really think he's hating on the gamers of today? I think he's just being cynical.

im starting to think he is just fishing for attention and responses

Hilarious and cringe worthy for about 10 reasons. Can't believe such a robotic talking gamer could be so naive. They. Will. Pull...A. Sega. The game came out about 20 years ago. Maybe the guys dad should have pulled out in 1994 too. That might have been too harsh. Or was it.

Yeah, its not supposed to be serious though.

Exactly. The OP is the definition of an extremist retro gamer. I like classic games as much as the next guy, but sometimes it's good to play a new generation game. Also, I think he's the definition of miserable because I think nothing happens in this guy's life to get excited, so he looks for stuff to get extremely mad over. That's why I hate ranters on YouTube who have nothing but videos being miserable over something that is stupid.

It's absolutely true that games these days are extremely dumbed down. I remember the first versions of dumbed down games where you'd press one button on a controller and watch your character execute a long and very complex sequence of attacks. This was back in the day where if you wanted your character to do something complicated involving multiple attacks, the controller sequence would be equally as complex. I fully expect gaming in the future to be as such: You start the game quickly followed by getting a skill testing moment of hitting the right button. If you manage to press the correct button, you watch the character auto play through the entire 4 hour game and beat it for you.

aren't you like 20 years old? which makes what you say even bigger bullshit. name me btw one game where with 1 button you do some incredibly compolex sequence of attacks

But all that has really changed in terms of your having access to these comments, is the internet. All of these kinds of comments were spoken and thought by millions of people of all ages back in the day. But now everyone blurts out every impulse onto social media. To this day I never read a game's manual before playing. There's no reason for someone not to think that Metroid is the name of the main character (if they don't bother to read the intro text) and I remember several people thinking so bitd with the NES version.

This thread is exactly the same thing as the comments that it is complaining about. It's a knee jerk reaction taken to social media.

+1000. couldn't agree more.

try playing dragons dogma, which is hard and not cheap hard like most games back in the day.

Yeah I heard of the word Parody Trek. Didn't know nothing about the guy though, he sounded like many others on youtube who can't read their own handwriting and use shit equipment to record a game video (and who actually say stupid shit like that in their videos). So does that answer your fucking question ?

Historic thread.

We all get things wrong from time to time.
