There used to be a time where there were no options for difficulty. You would just press start and go and get your butt kicked. Nowadays, you are prompted to select your preferred level of challenge.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
Danish from eXputer: "Nintendo has historically gone against player-made content and emulation of its games. This has done much to harm the company's image."
They need to stop announcing these mods and fan remakes until they're finished. Finish it, upload it, and then if Nintendo dmca's it tough shit. Once it's online, people can share it around, even if the original download gets taken down.
This is all coming from the mouth of short-sighted fandom and grifting madness.
No.... it wont. There is a clear defined reason why they don't. This is nothing new. Make your own shi7 from your own original ideas especially if you are trying to capitalize of it it. Duh.
Yeah, hire people that have zero respect or understanding for an established process. Wow. Yep. Totally makes sense.
I remember playing all those games he mentioned in the before time, and he aint lying when he says HARD - 3 continues, maybe the occasional extra life, and some games so hard after beating it once was enough.
Now a days if you can't finish a game in either one setting or within 48 hours is automatically considered "bad" unless its far overhyped and even then it must have an easy setting so people can run through it then blog about how "Easy" it was.
bayou billy? talk about impossible driving sequences. that game made me pull hair. i still never beat castelevania, faced dracula many times though. the nes was truly the golden age of gaming where half the games i put in my magic box were not beatable. today? i can beat any game i put into my machine. syaing "i beat XXX game" actually used to mean something.
sad what gaming has become. i guess that is to be expected when they are appealing to the mass market that loses interest , and profits for developers, when they cannot beat a game while gaming on their iphone at the bus stop. nowdays when i start any game i usuaully pick the 2nd from hardest difficulty right out of the box or it will be too way too easy. the fact they have replaced health packs with regenerating health is fact to this point. games are casual as fuck nowdays. casuals burn in hell.
Like I said in the article I could have gone on for much longer talking about the many crazy hard games in the NES library. There definitely a big difference in finishing a game today compared to 20 years ago.
