| Are retro games harder than current-gen? |

I think part of that appeal is that you can spend exactly as much time on them as you want - matches usually last a fixed (and short) period of time and while everyone wants to win unless you're in a super-serious clan it doesn't really matter what the end score is to anyone else but you. I'm basically just rephrasing what I said before: I think people are happy to be challenged, but because of increasing real-world commitments those challenges need to be in short user controlled chunks. |

I say yes!!! i can beat just about any game i've played on gamecube and up!! nes,snes,n64 are much harder for me! you can't save,some games you only get one or two lives.. i mean even kids games back in the day were hard as hell to beat! |

--- Quote from: pacpix on October 19, 2012, 06:04:48 pm ---YES! One of the big reasons I switched to retro games is because of the difficulty. Most of my friends at school say that retro games are so easy and I should play real games like Halo. I would like to see the looks on their face if they played something like Wizardry! Of what I have played this is what I would consider to be the hardest and I am slowly making my way though it making my own maps. --- End quote --- You give me hope for our future. Thank you. Edit to add : If you are playing Prooving Grounds of the Mad Overlord, Murphy's Ghost is the key to that game. Lots and lots of killing Murphy's Ghost. |
