If you were stuck on a game in 1986, you had to figure it out yourself or give up. --- End quote --- I think one thing that needs to be added here is... Back in the day there WERE things you had to figure out yourself. Nowadays that's just not true because devs feel they need to hold your hands so much that you'll almost never be in danger of having to think. |

Calling the controls for nightshade "hard to handle" is a bit of an understatement. It is a really good game, and has some funny moments. If you can manage to get to the over world, theres this guy with a huge head fighting this old lady, if you save her you become more popluar. --- Quote from: thecollector0o7 on October 27, 2012, 12:13:23 am --- --- Quote from: agsabbott on October 26, 2012, 10:10:32 pm --- I don't know if anyone has played Nightshade for the NES, but that game is frustratingly hard due to the controls. I find the classic games to be a lot harder then todays, like OP i was playing Diddy Kongs quest today and was getting destroyed in world 2. --- End quote --- God reminds me of Donkey Kong Country the level on the carts >_> I got so pissed at that level --- End quote --- DEM CARTS the new donkey kong country for Wii has to have the hardest level with the carts 0_0 DKQ jumping is getting me, in world 3 and it took me almost an hour to get past level 3 -_- |

in a word, Yes! There was no hand holding or online walkthroughs and we didn't have any trouble with our attention spans. We spent months systematically burning bushes and bombing walls looking for that one dungeon in Legend of Zelda. And when we finally beat the game, there was a sense of accomplishment! Unlike today where most players if they manage to get stuck last a whopping 2 minutes before they run to the internet to look up the answer. (my nephews) And when you beat a game there's no feeling of wow I finally beat it! its more like eh is that all there is to the game. And there are exceptions, But I think most modern games are aimed at casual gamers, so they have to be easier. |

What I find humorous is that some of the biggest games this generation are big because of their online multiplayer (competitive and usually difficult to master). |
