hatty posted:It’s always been there but I think it kicked into overdrive when the Pro consoles came out. People started talking about Gflops and frame pacing and stuff more often On the other hand I wouldn't buy a PS5 (no games) or a new Xbox (Game Pass, so pointless) regardless, so I guess the Switch actually does win by default

I said come in! posted:Yeah, I remember reading about this game being stupid loving hard, but that its introduction to arcades at the time was pretty mindblowing. it wasn't "hard" so much as it was deliberately designed to eat quarters by making everything a QTE that only had a single correct answer; you were effectively paying to memorize a sequence it was definitely impressive looking for the time compared to the actual fare on offer at the arcades back then, but it was realistically nothing more than a glorified DVD menu

It's hilarious cause a lot of bad games back then are just hard for no reason, but if you think about the exact same game as an arcade cabinet where you need to keep pumping coins into it, everything suddenly makes sense. Like the slow realisation over many many years of "maybe we don't need to dick our players over?" is just

Then mobile devs very aggressively remembering that dicking over players is a great way to get some people to spend even more money.

Good question. I just remembered earlier today that's who the MegaMan program is and I seem to recall his dad gets wrapped up in it more eventually somehow, or maybe he's the one who stuck his kid in there? so I look forward to seeing what's up as I've forgotten much, but I think that part of their bond continues. I don't remember the series gazing too deeply in any darkness it inadvertently introduced but I probably wasn't looking for it back then either. On the surface sounds like an Outer Limits episode edit: pvp scene is dead, just tried to start a ranked battle and over 2 minutes later still no bites edit2: lol no wonder if you choose "real thing" for battle option you have to wager an actual chip to lose.

I mean no, they still needed to dick their players over, because if you paid full price for Mega Man and it was so easy that you ran it start to end in an hour and a half no trouble, you'd be pretty upset. Not to mention the rental stores.
