It's from experience. Every person I know who dislikes old games (as in the ones that take skill and memorization, like Mega Man) is terrible at them.
And you can't tell me that every stupidly popular triple-AAA insanely over-budgeted "game" these days isn't stupidly easy.
one thing about a lot of older games is that a lot was left to your imagination because of the limitations
i feel like games that relied on that wouldn't hold up today for newer generations that grew up with those gaps more filled
In terms of visual presentation, yeah. It "left things to imagination" because someone like a level designer expected you to figure out how to use game mechanics to get somewhere instead of holding your hand down a scripted hallway. Platformers are generally less popular these days and I'm willing to bet it's because of how a lot of them are inherently difficult.

« on: November 23, 2013, 12:13:19 AM »Also should mention that the Call of Duty franchise still uses a modified Quake 2 engine, which released in 1997. Talk about "cutting edge next gen".
*III, 1999. Supposedly it's only a bit of source code, but that doesn't really matter since they pretty much removed everything that made id Tech 3 so good.
I could talk about Doom speedrunning all day. Straferunning, wallrunning, grabs, etc. It's like an art form.
I watched a Hell Revealed II run once, then I tried playing the WAD normally.
It didn't go well for me.

Medal of Honor on PS1 was the stuff.
One of the unlockable player models was goddamn Winston Churchill.

well, the statement is pretty stupid too.

« on: November 22, 2013, 06:52:23 PM »I kind of agree, but at the same time, I feel like the limitations games had back then allowed for more creative ideas to be created.
Because the gaming industry doesn't want to explore creative ideas anymore. This is especially apparent in newer shooters where the focus isn't on anything new in terms of gameplay, it's all on visuals and whatever.

I've been meaning to go back and finish Half-Life and the Quake/Quake II expansions...no time though.
I'll go with a natural assumption: you dislike things you're extremely bad at.
Not to be an unpopular opinion puffin but I think old games are garbage for the most part.
