You will not believe this, but I started playing some games that defined my childhood in the NES emulator on the Nintendo Switch. One of which being the story of pit in Kid Icarus. I was curious about the re-release of the game on the Switch being different from the original game so I decided to try it out.

Man, AKamia, you just had to say the game you were playing! (good job tho)

Is it good? I have a friend tell me that he wishes the metacritic score was way higher

Ayy, there's a cultured man playing Fleischer Cartoons

WHAT?! How can you be an NES gamer who says that games like Excitebike, Ninja Gaiden, and Contra suck? Are you out of your mind? Also, your argument was that NES games were better than modern day games because of story and world design. So I gave you current examples about games that were praised for their story and design. And hell, you can look towards my second post where EVEN MORE GAMES that were praised for their story and world were praised outside of the NES. Of course, I also mentioned the purpose behind many original NES games. Especially during the time of release -Which you also glanced over because it didn't help your argument-. I also said that games like Final Fantasy were released by nearly the end of the NES life cycle (which is why FFII and III were not released in the west in favor of IV and VI). So yeah, you don't know your history, you don't know the games you're arguing for, and you certainly don't know what you're talking about. Something I noticed throughout all this time we've been talking is that as soon as someone challenges your view, you start calling them bigots, idiots, stupid, or even nazis. Of course, everyone ends up challenging that opinion because you stating something as fact doesn't automatically make it true. Honestly, I am baffled at how much hostility you have towards opinions that aren't your own, dude. Especially against someone who literally is here to discuss games at length, nothing more.

Something I really miss from games of old is literally their structure. It's really sad that nowadays things like cheat codes, cosmetic items, game features, and more are locked behind DLC and Microtransaction walls... To be honest, it's really sad that a lot of people have allowed this practice to happen. I miss the time where these things were given to players as rewards for completing their favorite games (Especially during the PS1 era) rather than something that you need to buy in order to negate the satisfaction of completing the game.

Au contraire, it seems like the one who has bigoted opinions is you because that opinion you made about current-day gaming is extremely shallow and not true whatsoever. Have you actually PLAYED any of the aforementioned NES games? Because it seems like you haven't. At the very least I bothered to go through them, and SNES games (Also, my favorite game is Sonic 3 & Knuckles, which is a GENESIS game).

And by the way, that list over there is literally just a few examples of games that have been popular and loved by many people because of their stories to tell. Let's not forget Skies of Arcadia, the Tales Series, The Legend of Heroes series, Mass Effect, Borderlands, F.E.A.R., the Epic Battle Fantasy series, Devil May Cry, Dissidia, the Deus Ex series, the Alien games, the Arkham Series (Those in particular are considered the BEST Batman Games by far), Burnout, Dead Space, BlazBlue, Fallout, the GOD EATER series, the HITMAN series, Splinter Cell, Metal Gear Solid (LOL THE NES METAL GEAR GAME BEING GOOD HAHAHAHHAHA), the aforementioned Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Rocket League, Skullgirls, SOMA, Sonic Mania, Under Night In-Birth [EXE] Late:st, the Persona series. And that is not even going near the MANY indie games that have earned their spot in gaming history that only could've come out these days like Degrees of Separation, Dust: An Elysian Tail, Them's Fightin' Herds, SUPERHOT, The Talos Principle, The Room, Rivals of Aether, This is the Police, Layers of Fear, Fran Bow, need I say more?

I would be even more ironic towards you and shove your beloved Final Fantasy VIII down your throat. Remember what you said about post 2000's music? Yeah, you look like the one who made the post. Also, NO THEY WEREN'T. Like sure, some of the BEST games for the NES had some emphasis on story. However, most NES games only cared about keeping the arcade design. Why? Because back then the NES was trying to showcase that it could play arcade games from the home rather than having the user go and spend quarters on an arcade. Games like Ninja Gaiden, Castlevania, Super Mario Bros., Mega Man, Contra, Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!, Ducktales (Which also got remastered and if you don't think that's good, then you really need to re-evaulate your life), River City Ransom, Battletoads, Gradius, and others were designed with this purpose behind them. Games like Final Fantasy only came during the end of the NES life cycle which is why the SNES exists.

What do you tihnk of this?

Murder me if you want. i ain't changing my opinion.

It's gonna sound cliche but I have grown to love that fucking "West Virginia" song

Well, I'm not because I still believe your music is solid FUCKING WORD.

Usually an upbeat song but I also tend to listen to sad music myself because it turns my sadness into nostalgia rather than further depress me

Clown-themed? Uhh... I would have the power to create explosive balloon animals?

I think the game needs to exist first

Me and my best friend @Executor Akamia are going head to head this time huh? Let's do it then man. You and me for the best title.

No, I haven't tried this game but someone has already brought it up before So yeah.. That's a bit suspicious.

I can't take tyhe full credit for this, this was exposed by Ross Scott alongside his assets for the investigation. I'll be sharing them as we go.

I 100% Love this comment.

Even if you don't have an internet connection, you're allowed to keep those games. Those games belong to your account and are yours to own (this is why you introduce your name in credit card information or paypal). Not only that, but things like Steam's OFFLINE MODE (caps because that's how it's spelled in steam, no yelling lol) can actually keep activating the Steam DRM so you can play your games even while you're offline. So yeah, there's almost no excuse here. You own your game when buying it digitally.
