I lol'd at quite a few more users than just the ones you pointed out. Such as Elvis's claim saying, "Mainstream games are beyond rediculously[sic] easy." I simply cannot agree because of games such as God of War, God of War2, Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry3, Ninja Gaiden, Resident Evil4 (not in the league of DMC or NJ but still supplied a good challenge), and so on.Twiddle wrote:let me guess, the only posts you read were fatcobra's, fighter17's and zweihander'sMega Mudkip wrote:I graciously accept the animadversion.Twiddle wrote:mudkip ur gay

WarCheese's post was also absurd:
"Sigh... I have come to accept the public's view on shmups as something that's not going to change. As far as I am concerned, they are missing out. While they continue to play the same game with different graphics, I am quite happy to play my shmups, which are entirely differently games with similar graphics."
Yeah, the contradictions here really don't need to be pointed out; they're fucking obvious. =/
Skyline seems to be full of himself as well; there are other retarded posts as well, but I won't bother with them. Not to say that the ENTIRE thread is faggy because there are a good number of posts I found interesting, but there were enough moronic posts for me to consider it a "bbbbaaaawww" topic.
But at least we can agree on asininity of fatcobra's, fighter17's, and Zweihander's posts.
"also ED is the best website ever"
And yes. Yes it is.

Someone who enjoys shmups and mainstream games wants to join our forums? What's he thinking? 
EDIT: If someone wants to enjoy mainstream games and not support the standard ideals of this forum and talk about shmups then more power to him. Most of us have already admitted to playing mainstream games anyway. I don't know what the problem is.

What the hell is this all about, I can't make sense of it, that or I'm to lazy to.
Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?

Oh yeah - you're right about that - I hate that crap a great deal. I just meant the one we find in these forums here seemed OK.overkill55 wrote:Mudkip itself probably isn't that bad, but the weird internet status it has been given can burn in hell, how about that?
Generally, aside from work and shmups, I avoid this newfangled internet thing as a whole...

I cannot tell about all those games... but both GoWs are only hard on the hardest difficulty level... DMC3 is only hard if you begun playing games on the PS1 and is too comfortable with your Memory Card (No, it's no walking in the park, but it's hardly "hard", I don't know anyone who actually tried and did not manage to finish the game.. people say it's hard just because you won't beat the bosses the first time you visit them, and then you have to replay the level to face the boss again... OOOOOHHHH!), RE4 *is* stupidly easy (Great game still). Shinobi and Kuinochi were both a lot harder than those games.I lol'd at quite a few more users than just the ones you pointed out. Such as Elvis's claim saying, "Mainstream games are beyond rediculously[sic] easy." I simply cannot agree because of games such as God of War, God of War2, Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry3, Ninja Gaiden, Resident Evil4 (not in the league of DMC or NJ but still supplied a good challenge), and so on.
On this regard, old-school games were a lot more challenging, as there were many games who are fucking hard to finish no matter how hard you tried... I can't see how a game is "hard" if everyone and their grandmothers actually finished the damn game.

It's easier than Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden, but it still gave a good challenge.
"DMC3 is only hard if you begun playing games on the PS1"
You are talking out of your ass, sir. I've been playing games forever so...I'd say that nullifies your contention. =P
"(No, it's no walking in the park, but it's hardly "hard", I don't know anyone who actually tried and did not manage to finish the game.."
Anyone can probably beat R-Type too if they tried. It just depends on how much effort a person wants to expend. It seems the only difficulty you consider "hard" is oldschool arcade shmup hard. A game can still be hard without it grabbing you by the balls from start to finish.
"people say it's hard just because you won't beat the bosses the first time you visit them, and then you have to replay the level to face the boss again... OOOOOHHHH!"
....A boss can be hard without you having to try a billion times. Fuck, there's a lot of bosses in the Dragon Quest games that I considered hard even if I beat them on my first try.
"RE4 *is* stupidly easy (Great game still)"
You're the first person I've ever heard who has said that. It sounds like you immediately conclude that if a game is 3D and has newschool gameplay, it can't be "hard."
"On this regard, old-school games were a lot more challenging"
Devil May Cry 3 was as hard as many excellent oldschool games that were considered hard. (MegaManX3 for example.) In fact, I found DMC3 harder than MMX3.
"as there were many games who are fucking hard to finish no matter how hard you tried..."
The stupidly hard difficulty you are talking about was usually only present in arcade games--mainly shmups. Most oldschool games weren't as hard as R-Type, Gradius, or Contra.
Am I saying that oldschool games are easy? No, but I think you are overpraising a large percentage's difficulty. I also do agree that many newschool games are easier, but it is nowhere near as bad as you make it seem.
Your post was also extremely biased and silly.
(Oldschool gamers can be just as silly and biased as newschool gamers. =P)

No RE4 is easy. Once you get the system down your gonna beat it. Most people who say it's hard couldn't get the controls down and gave up immediately, if they put in more time they could beat it. Another thing that makes it easy is the ability to retry something right after you mess up and die. Most old school games would have you start over.
DMC3 and NG are challenging but not hard. The hurricane packs is a different story all together though
. I think people just have trouble with moving out of the way of things, once you get dodging down your set. You are correct to assume that most people find these hard. I think these same people find shmups hard for the same reason, they have trouble not being where the bad things are.
I never played GoW so I can't speak for this game.
I do believe that 3-D games can be just as hard though. In some ways fundamentally they are harder but do to the current state of gaming these types of games are made easier for today's gamer. Their are a few 3-D games that reach this level of difficulty though like God Hand or the Dante must Die modes in DMC3 and DMC1. But on the other hand I believe that 3-D games will never reach the level of intensity(not difficulty) of a manic-shmup.
