RE: The appeal of retro gaming

in #gaming7 years ago

Games actually were better back then. They used to actually be challenging. These days I could sleepwalk through most games, but when you were on the last boss in Sonic or Streets of Rage you got a real adrenaline rush.

Sort:  

I agree. Sometimes when I play some of the old games that I used to play as much younger, I find myself suprised how difficult it can get and wonder how did I managed to play and finish this games.

Half of mine I never did finish, but when you actually beat an old game it was a real feeling of accomplishment.

I played Forza Horizon 3 with my nephew and couldn't believe how you could rewind a crash, as if the big green racing line wasn't enough. What's next, games that play on autopilot? Kids now talk about how difficult Dark Souls is, that would have been seen as easy in 1990.

Oh well, the cinematic elements and amazing graphics make modern games worth playing, they just mostly lack something in the gameplay part.

It happened to me as well when I compare Disciples 2 to Heroes VII for example. An even better comparison would be Starcraft and Starcraft 2.
