Man wtf is it with these young kids who can't game...

[Mr. Manhattan]

these kids these days.. I was rocking heavy boots in the water temple at 9 years old! Nikkas had to READ playing ff and use their dexterity back then.

Yo I never thought about how these text based RPGs helped me with reading and comprehension

Games are so easy nowadays, which is fine in some cases, but Super Mario 3D world had me dead with that invincibility suit

I lose at the level 5 times and see a magical leaf box. I get the powerup and all of a sudden nothing can kill me. I'm like did I just stumble upon some sort of secret. Then it happened again on another level

I replayed Planescape Torment a few years ago and I was shocked at how much we used to read in video games back in the day. That game was a fukking novel, for real. I miss those days. Reading lets you imagine more (damn I sound )

Surprisingly dope thread.

I've talked about this before on here in a similar thread about sports and how there is this there are no losers bullshyt. My kids are gonna learn to win and then do the shimmy like Ali ".

My 5 yeAr old beat super Mario bros and super luigi U by himself. He's hLf way through donkey kong tropical freeze which is hard as fukk. When the wife's not around I let him play ghosts and metal gear and he's pretty damn good . I'm teaching them to be competitive and not be a little bytches. He would always start crying at first saying he couldnt beat it and you got damn right all I said was "I'm not beating it for you keep playing and practice. He hated me at first but the look of joy and satisfaction when he conquered that shyt was

My 3 year old can beat most levels on Mario as we'll.

Thanks to the advances in tech, games are 1000x easier then they were back in the day. So they don't really have to be god at them.

my kids got that geek blood. can't relate.

I don't think I care how kid games these days since I now I don't give a shyt to be hardcore anymore. Even with games being easier now Back then I was striving to 100% games and played on the hardest difficulty on some hard body shyt. I think the circumstances of being a latch key kid was what motivated me. Now, I'm picky on the games I play and I only play easy or normal difficulty, beat them and then move on to the next unless the multiplayer is fun.

Only genre I try to stay strong in is fighters (just Tekken tho).

Played Zero Escape: 9 hours, 9 persons, 9 doors? That game will have you like . Game had my brain working hard.

There is no incentive to be good at a game. When i was gaming on the GENESIS back in the 90 there weren't unlimited lives, unlimited continues, or memory cards. Every time i played sonic i had to start from the first zone.
