Ostentatious posted:i feel like gamers are too cynical I think a lot of it has to do with the "gamers" that we see on a daily basis are ones that have poured a significant amount of their lives into this hobby. When I was a kid and I got Super Mario All-Stars with my SNES my first thought was, "Awesome, I get four mario games in one", not, "Aw man, they hosed up the sprites and physics". I also think people in general just get more cynical as they age. On a less bummer note, I just replayed through Bioshock in the Remastered version for PC, and that game is still pretty fun. I 100%ed the game this time, and between having a poo poo ton of Adam, and the research camera, this game was a lot easier the second time around.

They did kinda gently caress up the physics though, although at the time I didn't realize because All Stars was the first time I played SMB1 - 3

In Training posted:They did kinda gently caress up the physics though, although at the time I didn't realize because All Stars was the first time I played SMB1 - 3 That's the point I was trying to make. Looking back on it, it's an objective fact that the physics are messed up, but at the time I was just playing Mario on my own console for the very first time, and that brought me unbridled joy. Nowadays, it's hard for me to look at a game without instinctively breaking it's components down in my head, rather than just accepting the game as it is and basing my opinion on affect. Obviously it's impossible for me to go back to a time before I had expectations and deep knowledge of video gaming as a whole. But that doesn't stop me from wishing I could play certain games without preconceived notions going into it.

That has nothing to do with other people, though. Regardless of that though, it's not really cynicism unless you are cynical. Otherwise it's just being analytic.

Yeah, don't let the Internet fool you, being critical is not the same as being cynical.

For All Stars in particular, it's also important to remember the context. When All Stars came out, it was an awesome package. Today, if you have the equivalent console, the Wii U, you don't need to repackage a new Mario release because you play emulations of the originals for a few bucks each. So there's really no reason to play All Stars anymore, unless you really like how freaky SMB1 1-2 looks like with the graphical overhaul

The first time I played Mario 3 was through All Stars so when I finally played it on the NES I hated it because it didn't look that good. Also I didn't know it was remade for the SNES. I just thought SMB3 looked that good.

some of it is that all criticism for video games has to be delivered in the "hilarious" style in which minor grievances are described as horrifying garbage fires, coupled with people's general tendency to want a thing to either be All Good or All Bad.

Well it's either that or you have to deal with the foulest of basement dwellers harassing you because you didn't hate a popular game enough. Again going to back to No Man's Sky journalists got death threats for writing bad previews of the game, and on most of the internet bitching about how game reviewers are all incompetent paid-off shills because their scores are too high is still the cutting edge of wit.
