Games are simply to easy these days. If someone dies 3 times on a level it's give up time. Back in the day you got a real sense of accomplishment from beatinga game like Super Mario World because it was no cake walk.Firelore29

If you think that is hard (not hard in difficulty, but you know what I mean), try playing Tibia.

Do you mean hard as in not committing sucide in real when you loose 10 hours of playtime because of dying of random server kick?

Donkey Kong Country was by far the best platformer ever.

Then came Donkey kong 64/racing >> , and then Knog bonga or whatever it is ... now

Now some stupid Donkey Kong racing konga game for the Wii...

I ABSOULETELY HATE NINTENDO... they screw up every one of thier classic franchises with stupid kiddy alterations.

Prime example - Starfox 1 = great , Starfox 64 = great ... then came ... Star Fox adventure ... platformer? WTF? What the hell is wrong with them!?

I actually thought Starfox Adventures were brilliant and greatly underrated.

As an adventure game? I dont really care if it was good ... thats the point, they change the genre of thier games so often its just not funny ...

I played Starfox for its space shooter, a very good version of it aswell ... litterally nearly non-existant today ... but to my suprise ... out game yet another Nintendo platform game :roll:.

Thats my point.

Why did Donkey Kong? an amazing platformer ... turn into - Racing and worst of all ... a gimmicky bongos game?

Let me just clear up some things, its great to have shooters dont get me wrong Goldeneye was super fun and is definalty a classic but there's just way to many shooters and bad ones to say the very least and its ruin my taste for gaming atm espically when other genres are just flat out terrible.OoSuperMarioO

Noticed this happened when the Xbox arrived...

i completely agree with you. In the past, gamers did not care for graphics, AI, physics,etc. just fun. if a game is fun then its great but if its not then its bad. It was simple as that in the past. there were no stereotypes of "casual", "noobs" and "hardcore" back then if i'm not mistaken. i hate online play. its mostly full of idiotic, disrespectful gamers who play to win not play for fun.

Those were designflaws. Super Mario World was a LOT easier than the first 3 Marios (SMB1, SMB2 and SMB3) but more fun.
What fun is it in dying 20 times in a row, just because certain parts in a lvl requires u to jump in a stupid way to avoid falling into a bottemless pit. Of course u will get a sense of accomplishment after the frustration of dying loike 20-30 times.

Ow, and play emulators if u dont like the "shallow" games of today.

Super Mario the lost levels, it took me like 50 times on average for each lvl untill I finally beat it. I sometimes went through the castles so many times I could run and jump through it in seconds.

Im 18 years of age and probably game on every console to exist.Also this is what you find mostly on online games such as xbox live: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7R-H81vtAI Its really sad seriously and I find this to happen occasionaly.Heres another link btw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDYJA2pcvyw&mode=related&search=

Me as well.

I do agree games are looking rather impressive from an art perspective but boy how I miss them days of Super Mario World taking you on a classical adventure and many other Mario games even Donkey Kong Country in the past.I also miss games such as Marvel vs Capcom fighters and many more.I feel gaming is dieing in that sense with them type of experiences in which Im missing just so much cause them games just brought that classical feel either its music, feel ect.I never woulded thought with games now that you finish them and never go back to em and also they getting to become time consuming to achieve great satisfaction.Im at the point to making my own games using tools to create them type of games in the past.Feel free to comment and add-on...OoSuperMarioO

I completely agree with you mate. I know the feeling and to this day those old games are still better then anything we see today

I'm sorry, but when games have dumb feature like touch damage, overly-impossible bosses which require tremendous luck the X times around because you have to figure out how to hit their cheap ass, and punish you by deleting your whole progress instead of up toa checkpoint, that's not difficult. That's idiotic.

I'll stick with my non-touch-damage games.
