>Games made before 2006 being good, amazing, or "masterpieces".

when will this stupid meme end? All of these games are terrible. Technology and game design has advanced so much that these games just aren't worth anyone's time.

Nintendo has the gall to sell SNES games digitally for 7.99 when you can get them for free online using emulation. They don't even release games in a timely manner. Sony has the gall to charge 15 dollars for PS2 games, even to people who already own them digitally on their PS3s already.

All of these games should be available for free and you're a stupid old fart if you think otherwise. Steam has thousands of games and we can all typically get them for less than 10 dollars during a sale. Google Store and Apple Store both have games available for pennies.

so seriously, when will this stupid meme end?

I think I first finished Super Metroid in 2005.

The fact that I can still pop it in and be enthralled by it's gorgeous sprites, creepy atmosphere, unsettling soundtrack, and still have a blast playing through the game says a lot about it.

That time is called the golden era of gaming for a reason. Nothing like it gets made today. We haven't had a truly great big budget game since RE4, and games like God Hand or Little King's Story never sell well.

They're not even releasing games in a timely manner either.

Nintendo and Sony could be assed to actually pump out games.

For example, I could emulate Astro Boy: Omega Factor or the PS2 version of DQ8....but I would actually love to support those games with my money. They deserve it imo.

But nah, we will never fucking see the games because of just how slow both companies rerelease old games.

>nostalgia brain washer
I played morrowind after i played oblivion and skyrim, and i thought it gave me more freedom and fun than ethier of them, running across an ocean as a mage is something i want to be able to do more often, skyrim and oblivion ended up focusing on the npc's reaction to the world, they're games with different focuses, and i prefer morrowind.
Having a spesific deisgn descision like "You need to have a high short blade stats in order to hit with short swords" isn't a flaw, it's a choice the devs made, whether or not the system is bad or good is upto debate, personally i didn't like the missing system in morrowind, i thought that a big damage penalty would've worked alot better.

Those are kinda mutually exclusive, son. If they aren't worth playing they aren't woryh playing for free.

Selling a product is funny like that. It is assigned a value by both buyer and seller and the sweet spot is when they meet for maximum sales and profit. 0 doesn't benefit the seller and $8 trillion doesn't do much for the buyer.

So pick. Don't be a wishy washy millennial pieceof shit that feels the world owes you anything you get into a fuss over. Nintendo isn't your mom even if Nintendo was the one watching you while she got bottomed out by some drunk that called her pretty.

I'm not saying they couldn't do more, but it's more complicated than just plopping a ROM on the store. A lot of it has to do with acquiring the rights and lots of publishers don't want to play ball for various reasons.

I'm aware. I just hope they know the demand for more timely releases and more varied releases is there.

I might be niche but I'd support the hell out of both companies if they gave me the games I want. It took them like 3 years to get 90% of the GBA mega man games up there. That's insane.

RE4 is the worst game of all time. It started the god awful fucktarded trend of having the entire game use an over the shoulder camera view instead of centering the camera behind you and switching to over the shoulder only when you aim.

This is what you sound like. Some digital games hold up because their core play is enjoyable. As for prices and shit, I don't care, roms are free. But to think a game produced 20 years ago is some how worse than today by virtue of being old, or made for low tech hardware is naive.

I don't agree with almost all of your post, but there's one thing that I do agree with 100% and that's that these games need to stop being charged for shitty half-assed ports of them.

If I'm going to want to play an NES or SNES game on my 3DS or Wii or Wii U, firstly I already own the game and paid for it once you're rewrapping and trying to sell it again for higher than the price of an emulator on a smart phone.

You're not giving me the use of the original controller, which is something I CAN get on a PC with emulator, you're not giving me any benefits to getting it your way but you are charging me more than is reasonable for it. If it was $10 for 'packs' of games maybe I'd get it, 50c a game, maybe. $5+ for a single game I might own already? Fuck you.

Obviously not all games were, and while gaming companies always wanted to make profit, it was mainly about making good games. A lot of developers were gaming enthusiasts. Now that gaming has entered the mainstream in a big way companies are just interested in rushing out games to make a profit.


It's like a lot of music. We technically have superior sound recording abilities now and better ways to make music but a lot of music nowadays is simply overproduced nonsense made by some corporate guy trying to maximise how much money they made.

I agree these games are quite expensive on WiiU/PS3 etc but I either use emulators or the original console.
