Fucking liar, games have gotten harder over time.

I don't think you know what paranoia means.

>GAMES HAVE NOT BECOME EASIER
Stopped reading there.
It's a lie and you know it, or you're an underage ban.

Go away man.
Protip: there's no post count on /v/, so stop fucking posting so much, nobody will remember you except for "that other annoying as fuck tripfag". every goddamn thread. SHOO.

Um, did you ever play Castlevania or Contra?

yeah I felt like RE5 is too easy on Veteran but then I remembered I already beat RE4 on professional so I'd already know the best tactics to use.

hey op,

try saying that to super mario rpg's face

>>30376536

Bad design, bugs and bad hitboxes were the only reason old games were hard. Correcting all of those bugs and shit ridden cluster fucks would immediately make them 100 times easier.

>>30376618

You're counting my posts?

Games have become easier. I tried to play Megaman yesterday. GOD FUCKING DAMN IT. I'm glad they're easier.

lol ok OP let's see you get a Donkey Kong killscreen

>>30376621
shoot the weak spots without taking damage? That's some strategies.

>>30376500
This logic is broken when I play games from the NES/SNES era and they're hard as hell.

Bad design and bugs make the game more in depth and better.

Like CS and Tribes.

OP Think's Halo can be compared in difficulty to fucking Doom or Quake. Sage

>>30376638
That's still no excuse.

Saying old games are hard, because of a bunch of glitches, is like saying Super Smash Bros. Melee is the most hardcore fighter game because of the million of abusable glitches.

>>30376638
It's true when you remove any difficulty in games they become easier. Thanks for your useful input.

I agree with OP
go back and play all your old NES favorites that were "soooooooooooooo hard" when you were 8. Mega Man, Castlevania, Metroid, all of that. You'll burn them through today because you've been playing games for at least a decade now.

>>30376716
>Doom
THIS, try first playing Halo on legendary then go play Doom on nightmare.

>>30376744
>Mega Man, Castlevania, Metroid
>Hard

You've never owned an NES in your life.

>>30376744
>Castlevania
>Easy

The boss Death would like to have a word with you.

>>30376744
Mother fucker, Mega Man 1 is still fucking hard, and so is Mike Tyson's punch out and a bunch of other early shit.

Certainly reaction time has improved with age as well as other cognitive abilities, but they were certainly a lot harder. Primarily because IF YOU RAN OUT OF LIVES YOU STARTED THE FUCK OVER

You're right about most points, but the greatest era of gaming was 1997 -> 2003.

Game design was its peak and pandering to casuals and non-gamers was at a minimum.

99% of memorable games came out during this period and their names were milked from 2003 onwards. That's not to say that there haven't been any good games since (there has) but nothing that even begins to compare.

>>30376797
No sir, I don't think you have.

>>30376797
or River City Ransom on NES, SHIT WAS IMPOSSIBLE

>>30376735

This is the only post worth reading in this thread.

>>30376832
I know people have never played an NES in their life when they list Mega Man as a hard game.

gb2youremulation you underaged faggot.

>>30376744
savestates don't count and TMNT will still kick most player ass even today and regardless of your age.
Also this generation is spoiled with help for any games; we didn't have gamefaqs back then. Only whever we could find in magazines/books.

>>30376830
And yet you didn't name one, further proving that early games were all shit.

>>30376775
>Halo on legendary
This is actually one of the closest things to "traditional" gaming there is. I'm not going to bother explaining myself because you wouldn't listen anyway. Halo on legendary is also too hard for me.

Games back in the time were hard and it was almost impossible to finish them in one try.

Games today are so easy, you don't even need to do that fucking boss 5 times because you can kill him when you fight him for the first time.

>>30376830

>non-gamers

MORE PEOPLE ENJOY THINGS I LIKE

fuck..... it's true ;_;

WoW is casual. That is fact.

Games had to be hard back then or else you'd just breeze right through them in an hour or so.

Most games now have a difficulty setting. That alone proves OP wrong.

>>30376775
Doom on nightmare was fucking impossible, the most I could beat it on was Ultra-Violence.

Games back then were harder. Games today are more accessible.

Games today are superior

>>30376818
The point is that you have to play them again, right now.
You are remembering what they were like when you first played them.

And if you ran out of lives you didn't "start over" in Mega Man, you were allowed to continue infinitely. You also had codes in Punch Out, and Tyson is the only really challenging fight.

Bullshat, I'm currently playing both old and new games, and the old ones are generally much harder. It's also a lot more trial and error, with less room for mistakes.

>decade

wut

>"Games have not become easier over the years. You have changed, and have become a more capable person."

lol no. There are so many NES and SNES games I've never beaten, and WILL never beat no matter how many times I try.

PROOF GAMES ARE FUCKING EASIER,

REGENERATING FUCKING HEALTH OVER MEDPACKS

fucking bullshit. I tried to play megaman 2 the other day. Couldnt do the first level.

>>30376958
>Games had to have cheap ways to kill you back then or else you'd just breeze right through them on only one credit.

Fixed. 99% of games in the late 80s and early 90s were arcade ports or games designed in the same vein. They're designed to suck the change directly out of your pockets.
