Why are boomers like this? Who the frick finds it fun to repeat 15 minutes of gameplay you've already learned just to get a 5 second attempt at some new difficult section?
This game design literally only existed because it was meant to draw out a 30 minute game over the span of many months to keep little timmy happy until his next birthday or christmas. It's completely obsolete now.
unironically undiagnosed autism
>It's autism to expect someone to not break the rules
it's not breaking the rules if the rules have changed.
I think someone using new QoL features to cheese difficult parts obviously takes a lot of the difficulty away, but who the FRICK cares if other people are playing their single-player games on easy mode
He isn't wrong. You may say you finished the game but you certainly didn't beat it.
see
>you finished the game but you didn't beat it
This is the most moronic thing I've read all day. It's like saying you sucking my dick doesn't make you gay.
>This is the most moronic thing I've read all day.
Nah your post is. Making moronic wiener sucking analogies isn't going to convince anyone that cheating counts as beating.
If you're sucking some artificial wiener, it's very gay but you could just be very horny.
It's not until you actually seek out to suck a real wiener that you're gay.

this is extreme cope
you're fricking terrible at video games and need to cheat to win
No, anon is right - the rental market was huge back then so games were often made deliberately more difficult to make sure people needed to buy them
it comes from arcade quarter muncher design. even if this is the case its not like the games are impossible anyway, all of the games you think are "the hardest games" are completable without losing a credit. using shit like save states or rewind(save states) is cheating and you're ruining it for yourself by doing that
>all of the games you think are "the hardest games" are completable without losing a credit
That's a pretty unreasonable expectation for a new player though and ultimately the complaint isn't that the game is impossible to beat but that it wastes your time when you frick up by making you repeat large sections to get back to the one area you had difficulty with.
>but that it wastes your time when you frick up by making you repeat large sections to get back to the one area you had difficulty with.
If that were the case then you should have no trouble beating the game legitimately in one go from start to end after you "beat" it using save states. You however know it doesn't work out that way. The difficulty is in completing a gauntlet of obstacles without exhausting your health or falling or whatever, if you remove the attrition aspect you are taking out a portion of the difficulty. Use save states to practice all you want but at the end of the day, if you can't beat the game without em, than you can't beat it.
>it wastes your time when you frick up
you are the one wasting your own time because you're not good enough to do anything else
He's right though. The fact that you got so assblasted over it means that deep down you know it to be true.
digital just feels so easy to quit. just boop, new game now. and any appreciation that would've been built just gets closed in a click
>why do streamers pretend to have opinions and hot takes to farm clicks on thier monetized platforms
hmmmmm.........
Keep in mind that Mike Matei has no other life accomplishments other than being AVGN's sidekick.
He's independently wealthy and has a hot gf
Just use the rewind feature to practice the hard parts, and then do a 1cc afterwards.
since when was motherfricker mike a boomer?
The rewind feature is for people who are bad/handicapped
>Why are boomers like this? Who the frick finds it fun to repeat 15 minutes of gameplay you've already learned just to get a 5 second attempt at some new difficult section?
That's neat and all but why do you feel the need to tell people you were able to beat the game when you needed to cheat?
Surely if save states aren't cheating then once you learn how to beat the game with them you can easily clear it with the lives and continues the devs provided right? Right?
The fact that your first paragraph just reads like someone really angry at souls games is funny.
I don't give a frick about 'beating' a game. I treat Vidya like I treat fruit. I'm here for the good bits, I ain't eating the ribs.
>food analogy
Play however you want, but you are just really completing a completely different game than the one intended by the devs and experienced originally.
Same thing with summons in ER but this board defends it now because it's literally worse at games than 18 year old women beating ER on dance pads on twitch, these days
Why are you people even here? You want to pretend to be good at games and "not normie" but you're literally just a pathetic outcast getting btfo by boomers, normies, twitch, reddit, etc. you're bad at games, not smart
It doesn't matter if the game is fun or not. If you cheated you didn't beat it. It's that simple.
Humans do things like watch movies and tv shows they have already watched.
Might as well just remove dying altogether then. In fact why even bother playing a video game? Just watch a movie.
Are zoomers so weak and pathetic they have to stop playing every 30 second interval to save state instead of actually learning how to play a simple game?
Very sad. The casual era of gen 7 has caused permanent damage to the industry.
based Mike
These threads never fail to bait zoomer morons
clears of what? i'll stomp your little homosexual ass in anything
Split the diff and say you beat the rerelease? If I buy a rerelease and it has new stuff in it, I don't think it's wrong if I say I beat the game and I used that stuff.
People just use it for practice, but when they are going to actually beat/clear the game, they don't use rewind/save states.
I beat them when I was below the age of 10. What the frick makes you think I have pictures of that?
shitter alert
I had a blast going through Mega Man 1-10 and Mega Man I-V with save states and rewind. Took me a couple of weeks to beat. That being said, since Mega Man 11 doesn't have those features unless emulated, I still haven't beat it. It's a pretty tough game. Play however the frick you want. Micro Muhtei Mike is a moron.
But the original megaman series is among the easiest of NES games.
>took a couple of weeks to beat
What the frick? It takes like an hour per with rewind MAX
You need to factor in breaks. It was not a 15 hour nonstop marathon.
>clears
zoomer alert
>who the frick finds it fun
People who find the gameplay fun, evidently you aren't one of them which begs the question, why are you playing something that isn't fun?
Artificial difficulty was added to retro games so people could not rent it for five bucks and beat it.
No it’s just regular difficulty, and regardless of how it got there the fun is to conquer it as-is.

I fully agree, I grew up with the games of those days and its dated.
though tbh I would prefer that to the grind infested MTX ladden shit we get now.
I remember I could never get past the carpet stage in alladin and years later I emulated it, save scummed it, got past the level then quit the game because it pissed me off it was too difficult.
rewinding to the start of levels or boss fights is reasonable, but using it for every jump is homosexual
I will use save states and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Cope and seethe, boomer. Wasting player's time is not good gameplay and never was.
>I will use save states and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.
No one cares that you can cheat at games, even better if you are honest about it. If you lie and pretend you can beat them though, that is pretty pathetic.
zoomers want the achievement under their belt without putting in the work it takes to get good. many such cases. disagree all you want lil zoomer but he's right and you can't change that fact just like you can't change your gender.
Zoomers don't even play these games. Nobody gives a shit about them, there's nothing to gatekeep here because there's 0 people showing up at your gate and every year it grows less and less popular.
Old games should not be allowed to be played on any hardware other than original.
Okay.
Who cares?
the runback affects your mental state and ability to execute the challenge, without it you'll always be at an arguable peak condition
it's not anything new, it's pic related's entire gimmick, being able to just spawn outside the boss room takes away like 90% of the frustration
And you can see how after DS2 they realised runbacks were not needed to provide a challenge and were replaced by more mechanically complex bosses, which actually require learning (compared to mindless time-wasting of a runback).
>mechanically complex bosses
>DS2
Please stop, you're just embarrassing yourself
My guy games were hard because they were meant to keep you spending money at the arcade. And you would continue to attempt because of the sense of accomplishment you got from it and the distinguishment the leaderboards would give. A lot of game devs discuss this point and how older games still had the arcade difficulty design. It wasnt an "experience" but a "challenge."
So no, you didnt beat the game. You "experienced" the game, but you didnt beat the "challenge."
