Are you tired of the older generation of gamers feeling superior?

So if you are an older generation gamer that thinks that older games are harder then you are an arrogant asshole with a superiority complex? I guess that's what I am then since back in the day games were much, much harder.

Look at those arrogant bastards, loving their retro games. They disgust me.

Thinking the fact that you played harder (to beat) games makes you somehow "a better gamer". Thinking that just because someone young can't play a game with graphics, mechanics and controls they've never seen before , it means they suck at gaming. Yes, these things make you an arrogant a@#$%le with a superiority complex. Actually when I think about it, "inferiority comlex" is more fitting. I made a mistake.

I never said that I was a better gamer.  All that I said is that the majority of older games are more difficult then the new ones.  Those retro games that are hard to play for newer gamers were difficult for older gamers when they first played them as well, but many took the time to learn how to play them. Nowadays many games 1st half is a tutorial of sorts that has arrows lit up showing you exactly where to go.  Memorizing patterns and having lightning quick reflexes was the norm in the days of the NES.  Currently we have games that if you push the button at the right time you win.
