Pokemon Gens I-II are horribly outdated and overrated and the worst games in the series, and they are fucking shit JRPGs compared with other games at the time.

Not really. Nowadays you have to pull off some gigantic effort of deep analysis and research to find something that's maybe an 8/10 at the very best every once in a while. Meanwhile back then you'd hop into a store and pick whatever game had the coolest cover and more often than not it turned out to be a masterpiece.

Besides, you can't even compare how many new games we get on a daily basis nowadays. Everyone is making games because it's an easily accessible thing now. There's an unsurmountable mountain of trash being pumped out at full throttle at our faces constantly.

ToS is pretty much dead on arrival, unfortunately. Wish devs would aim on shit like multihits, balancing, itemization and other game basic features rather than iCoin plans and making 200+ content when people are dropping their game on a fucking closed beta.

>Shitty games seemed less shitty 15 years ago because you were younger

Nah, don't come with that bullshit near me. My fucking ass they did. Games back then seemed less shitty because they actually weren't afraid to fucking CHALLENGE you and make you git gud enough to beat them. I don't give a damn about games unless they challenge the fuck out of me or if they have some really engaging story. Preferably both. This is why I love Souls and Bloodborne, because it's the only modern series that tries to actually be challenging like games used to be and isn't afraid to let go of your hand and let you explore on your own.

Nowadays it's Press X to Win with checkpoints every 5 steps and DLC to unlock even more DLC and some cancerous open world fad garbage to pad out content for marketing purposes.

I'm still playing old shit I only recently found out and having a blast. My most recent example was Planescape Torment, which I literally skipped a night of sleep the night I found this little gem out to play it because of just how fucking unbelievably good the writing and actually roleplaying on that game were. So don't come with that crap about nostalgia and naivety to me, ain't gonna fly.

the original gameboy has one of the biggest ratios of shit to gems of any platform ever despite being around for 12 years

hardly anything not made by Nintendo is worth playing because handhelds were not treated as a serious platform. even a lot of games have aged like pure dog shit because the games are either indecipherable blots of squares or huge ass sprites that take up most of the screen with molasses wading gameplay

And you keep projecting your shit onto me hoping you're making an insightful point when you're just spouting fucking bullshit on hot baseless assumptions.

Besides, please do counter the part where I said older games actually challenged you and how nowadays every game is dumbed down to the masses, which is a fact. Please do.

Besides, I like you're solely focused on the amount of trash both eras had, when this era has undeniably WAY more trash being pumped out due to the fact gaming development has never been more mainstream, which defeats your point as a whole, while conveniently letting go of the fact we can name dozens of top tier games from each gen but only a handful of stuff from the 7th and 8th.

Games back then had to have very dedicated QA during development because patches weren't a thing. If you shat out a glitchy fucking game, you were eaten alive. Hell, people still haven't forgotten or forgiven Superman 64 over a decade later. Nowadays if you shit out not only a glitchy game but one that's nearly unplayably broken, you can just make a few half-assed patches to "fix" it or rely on modders to do your work for you.

Games 15 years ago hardly challenged you more than games today except for a few picked cherries. Games 20-25 years ago, yes, because they were mainly intended for arcade style gameplay where a short challenging game brought home one hell of a lot more pennies than a long, easier one, and costed less to produce. Once again, you're only playing the gems of the era, of course it's going to seem fucking amazing when you only explore the cream of the crop. There were thousands and thousands of games released back then, most of them absolute shit. Just like now. You've just gotten older and more cynical.

But keep playing the gems of the old eras, they're still amazing games. Just don't delude yourself into thinking that the majority of games back then were Planetscape: Torments and Starcrafts.

Goldeneye might FEEL dated now, but that's only because it's a unique brand of shooter that only existed in the late 90s/early 2000s that died out quickly, likely because shooters like Halo and CoD took its place.
Also, your n64 controller is probably worn to shit, which makes it even harder to play.

>>317474794
Exactly. Shit was coherent because devs had a better idea of spriting after 9 years of Game Boy Vanilla on the market and the graphic techniques of late day NES were brought forth on a portable and refined the moment GBC came out.

Indie-minded fools that think all 8-bit or 2D Sprite-based games past 1989 was Atari 2600-7800 graphics have a gross memory of what it was really like.

Phantom Pain, which has gorgeous graphics on the FOX engine, is an extremely boring sandbox title, that gets too easy as you progress (yes, even with Reflex mode off on Extreme missions). Meanwhile, I started playing this spin off title on an emulator and it is so much more fun.

Ok, R/B had the Elite Four with awful movesets even by the games standard. X/Y has the Elite Four have movesets containing moves that competitive players would use.

The only reason anyone would find Red/Blue hard is because they themselves don't know how powerful their own moves are and probably replaced their Charizard's Slash or Flamethrower with something like Fire Spin.
