/vr/ - Retro Games

I love how the people in this thread are pretending that classic game developers were altruists trying to lead humanity on the right path by teaching them to persevere when in reality most of the posters in this thread are underagefags who have never 1cc'd a game and are just speaking out their ass to sound cool.

In reality, developers not giving continues for their games was a product of greed; notice how it stopped being a thing as game rentals died down and purchasing games at full price became more common as places like Blockbuster died? Konami even went so far as to remove features like infinite continues from the Japanese versions of games because game rentals were more common overseas. They wanted kids to have to practice their shittily designed games by purchasing them and focusing more time into it. That's why arcade ports also only gave you like 3 lives max; can't let the poor people pay 70 bucks for an arcade cartridge and then prevent them from wanting to put in quarters at the arcade.

1cc challenges and shit contribute absolutely nothing to humanity in the slightest and you're a fucking retarded delusional basement dweller high on crack if you think the devs ever cared about that. Non-shitty games like Mega Man and Ninja Gaiden offered infinite continues for a reason. 1ccs should be self-imposed challenges by autists with too much free time on their hands, not programmed into the game itself.

Anime titties.
