yeah lets lock this thread so that way when people want to bitch about nintendo in all the other threads they can get each of them derailed for twenty posts every time that certainly sounds much better than one thread where everyone can freely bitch about nintendo stuff as much as they want without ruining other peoples parades as they praise zelda game number eighty five or whatever it is that nintendo fans want to do in the threads about their games
No checkpoints is some straight-up faggot shit.
Bullshit. They're saying earning the skill to be good is better than bashing through a level with infinite lives.
Psikyo doesn't know what the hell you're talking about. Continuing puts you back at the start of the level, not the game. Same thing Nintendo drones are talking about. Nobody said anything about restarting the whole game from scratch.Quote:
When I play a shooter that I like, sometimes I don't want to frustrate myself and play Level 1 repeatedly, and then trudge through Level 1 each time I want perfect playing Level 2, and so on.

It's an empty point. I can't recall any Nintendo game in the past five years that made you replay an extended easy sequence leading up to a difficult part ad nauseum. The difficult part is never there.
The entire article is akin to the old guys that sit in the back of McDonald's in small southern towns talking about politics. You might not agree with what they're saying... but really, is it of any consequence?
"It might be exciting, but it doesn't feel good." That's talking about infinite lives? What is exciting about infinite lives? And who the fuck plays games to "feel good"? I could see feeling good from overcoming a challenge, but that is not at all what he is talking about. It's pussifying instant gratification that he is selling here.Quote:

What was said was that Continue service was put in because games got more difficult. That's not true.Quote:
