Neonshuffler: Runs fine for me.

Yeah gamers are getting more and more babied. Hardest setting these days is like medium setting on a snes game.

None of my friends can play the old arcade games that I play. They just complain the game cheats or is too hard.

Even the Zelda Majora's mask ont he 3ds has been babied up.

I have been getting rupees to get the big wallet and other side missions. Just going into the swamp now. Be awesome if the bosses are harder.
gamers are stupid cause they throw shit load of money at dlc and crappy remastered cash grab. But bitching about some one else's bitching about why he forgot to manual save is the new height of unnecessary retardness

And me bothering to reply to such a post is nonetheless

Licurg: Those imbeciles should be sterilized ...
... and pay for keeping this video online.

Everybody who has the urge to load up anything and gets much more thumbs down than thumbs up after a while, should pay for spreading their 'opinion' furthermore.
With that money YT and other websites could benefit social organizations, which e.g. help victims of online mobbing. Or supporting little game developer studios who got screwed by big players or anything else...
If the majority of the watchers have decided that the video has no additional value for the human society, then the maker(s) must choose if it gets deleted or they wanna defend their 'opinion' against the will of others, but then not for free.

Hey man I actually like that, but I think we probably both know that in reality it is much more realistic to see it the other way around. As it is actually a lot of times.

I never played Dungeon Siege 1 but I'll take your word for it :)

EBToriginal: So digital masochism, that I can understand.
Pretty much. Personally, I think there should be an Urban dictionary definition for it

tinyE: You had to trudge through TR 2?
How sad.
The others I can kind of see.
I didn't enjoy TR2 veru much because the camera angles really got to me. Try and line Lara up for a jump and the camera would be positioned at her side. Sometimes I wouldn't make the jump either because if Lara was standing slightly askew, she would jump into an area I had no intention of going to. I did learn how to line up jumps but it was still annoying tapping the turn keys to make sure Lara was going to jump perfectly straight. TR2 wasn't bad, I liked it a lot more than the first. TR: AOD however, I didn't even bother playing a third day.

Leroux: Don't forget the satisfaction of feeling entitled to tear that game to pieces because you completely played through it, giving it the benefit of doubt, and despite your patience it only got worse and worse, so in the end you can say your first impressions were spot on and not just a hasty judgement. ;)
So true, so true. but that can be a double edged sword. If you don't finish the game, the person you're discussing the game with can say "you missed the best parts" or something to that effect. Actually finish the game, they can say "it can't be that bad if you finished the game".

That first boss was a push over. It only attacked me once. Is there a hard mode like master quest for Ocarina?

From what I've seen of your posts, yes, you are certainly a modern gamer.
Yes

A real old school gamer is one who played Pong when it first came out in 1972 as a five year old :P

The first 2 bosses are mostly the same. Its Gyorg and Twinold is when thy really changed up the bosses. Twinmold is the hardest imo .

Sadly the final boss Majora gameplay wise is unchanged. It is exactly like it was in the N64.

IwubCheeze: Some people (like me) have a tendency to trudge through a game they aren't enjoying anymore simply for the sake of completing it. When it's finished, we have the psychological satisfaction of not letting the game beat us and because we beat it, we will never get the feeling to touch it again. I've done this with quite a few games.

Neverwinter Nights official campaigns (will still be trying user made modules though)
Teen Agent
Heroes of Might and Magic 1
Stargunner
Halo: Combat Evolved
Morrowind
Tomb Raider 2
Redneck Rampage (Not including the Rides Again expansion, that one was okay)
Command and Conquer

Probably more but I can't think of what they are right now.

i never finished dungeon siege

i tend to trail off in the swamp because i cant find my way and that fucking donkey wont move unless all enemies are killed

Maxvorstadt: I always thought that those games were called adventures because it was an adventure to find out which words the parser accepted.
I used to have notebook pages full for all of the different adventure games we had of acceptable words/word phrases for the different games so that when I switched back and forth between them or hadn't played them for a period I wouldn't get mixxed up/waste time/forget what was accepted. I hadn't thought about that (nearly forgotten, I played these when I was 5-12 years old) in a long long time. There were some really great games that I have no idea what they were called but still remember details and how exhilarating it was to play them.

I can understand a few of those, but I think some of them you could have enjoyed more had you just given yourself time and space away from the games and just played it when you were in the mood for them. I think if you are playing a game but not enjoying it, it is actually beating you. You must learn to let go. Wasting time doing something unenjoyable when you could be enjoying yourself is bad for your spirit.

A not-manual saving system is far worse.

Play Demonicon, there are save points and you cannot save when or wherever you want. Before you stop playing and go to bed, you have to travel/port between one of the districts in town and produce a save game in a kind of manual way.

I once forgot to port between districts for saving. After finishing all the tasks in an area, ~2.5h gameplay, I died on a bunch of thugs who jumped me and was dead. The whole afternoon playing was lost and I had to start over.

Tell me what is more annoying?
