Kingdom hearts is like the shittiest franchise you could use in this argument. The only reason it's popular is because of disneyfags and people who played it when they were younger and can't seem to take off their nastogia goggles. That being said I don't think games from the 80's or 90's are even close to what we have now in terms of quality. Verb your inner hipster is showing

Obviously there's gems that stand the test of time but that goes for any artform (or form of media, if you're like secondclass)

I played Kingdom Hearts when I was like 5 and didn't even watch a Disney movie or play Final Fantasy until I was much older.

It's just a well made game, in and of itself.

Subjective ( unless we are talking about card games, Yu-Gi-Oh isn't even a game anymore at this point, it's like I declare war but more expensive and one player has all of the royals and aces, and from what I hear MAGIC isn't much better off.)

not really. It's just dumb to say that games are getting worse when they're objectively getting better. You give two video game choices (Super Metroid and KH2) to an 18 year old who, hypothetically, has never seen or played any video games before in his life, and he's going to make the same choice every time. Games are simply becoming more action packed and fun to play.

And chances are if you give that same person a choice between MW3 and Super Metroid they'd chose MW3, does this mean MW3 is a better game than Super Metroid?

To be fair, no matter what game style it is, if you're new to it, you're probably going to fumble through it for at least an hour or two before you get the hang of it.

I've beat it. It's hard at points, sure, but it's just not that fun or interesting of a game to play. I had to literally force myself to play it, it was so bland. I played it when I was 13 or so and going through my period of trying to play all of the classic games and watch all of the classic movies and all of that, just so I could have a general knowledge of pop culture. That's how I found amazing games like Final Fantasy and Zelda, and how I found boring games like Metroid and Super Mario.

I actually played Metroid Prime: Hunters first, when I was much younger than that, and then later played the original Metroid, Super Metroid, and Metroid Prime.

what about it was bland, then

because that's just twenty-three flavors of incorrect

the game is pure atmosphere--if you're not attuned to that sort of thing, i guess i can understand, but the game is supposed to make you feel alone, like a rat in a maze--almost claustrophobic

I do have a legitimate question

What's wrong with some people not being good at old games?
