well let me ask you this, were you a fan of the series during the 16 bit era? you may be too young to have been gaming back then, im not sure. if you were, then im sorry, but i think its harder to understand what old school gamers are really griping about with the easy fatalities in particular. it used to be something that you worked hard to be able to do. once you win the match, if you were skilled enough, you got to see this awesome scene of blood and gore, and it was really humiliating for whoever you defeated. |
You can't blame the kids for something that the industry did. I was 7 when the NES came out so I was raised on games harder than the ones you were raised on. And yes, I totally agree that games are weak now and most young gamers are weak as well, but it's not their fault. The blame is on the publishers for dumbing it all down for the sake of profit. They figured out long ago that the average person doesn't have what it takes to beat a hard game and started allowing those people to feel like they were good too. Thus, the slow death march of difficult games.
It's not coming back and I'll tell you why. These publishers know that they have dumed the skills of the average gamer down so far, that releasing hard games again would mean less sales. They don't want less sales.
