I pity him and grow ever weary for the future of the industry.

Games need desperately to get more challenging.


Has nothing to do with challenge. Games back then utilized backtracking because the maps were smaller. It was efficient development. Games dont always need that anymore. Those poor souls probably believed Metroid was a linear game. 

Yes, it does. Part of Metroid's charm is figuring out how to traverse the map and reach previously inaccessible areas by using the items you get intelligently.


I think if someone tells them that they'll be fine. 

I think what's amazing is that they can't be bothered to press the home button and open the web browser then just look at youtube videos. Hopefully those people won't ever get their hands on Demon's Souls/Dark Souls or Monster Hunter type games, ever.
