I tried Retro gaming through Emulators and I hated it

[inyerta]

They're both too simple and archaic to go back to nowadays. Gaming didn't really start until the PSX, and even that's being charitable, I really loved playing SOTN so I tried out the SNES game Super Castlevania 4 or whatever... it's just too hard for me, and it's boring because all you do is combat. Where's the exploration? It's basically a one-hour long arcade quarter-muncher, fucking dogshit, half of the games are simple arcadeshit that barely last an hour, nothing but muscle memory and memorization, no strategy or tactics are needed to beat these games, not even skill, just repetition, and in many cases it's mere button mushing.

I mean theyre 6 megabytes games what do you expect. That being said games released in the n64 era genuinely have more complex features and content than games now especially old-school pc games

Yeah but I just hate how Boomers act like this era was the pinnacle of gaming

GBA is a nice middle ground. 32bit 2D pixel art plus all the QoL of the 00s games learned from the 80s and 90s games.
