/vr/ - Retro Games

>>10527201
While I like Super Mario Sunshine, I do not like how revered it is by people who grew up with it. I grew up with it myself. But back then, opinions were positive but generally viewed it as one of the weaker entries. Now you get some people calling it one of the best if not THE best, which is ridiculous. Actually, Luigi's Mansion is similar in this respect.

Something else that really grinds my gears is how retro survival horror is discussed nowadays. It typically goes like this:
>early survival horror games had technical limitations
>this caused fixed camera angles and tank controls to be the standard
The above parts are true, but here is where it starts becoming revisionist:
>since these mechanics were invented initially because of technical limitations, it should not exist anymore since we do not have these limitations
>fixed cameras and tank controls suck anyway
I completely disagree. While not all survival horror games need either of these, I completely reject the idea that they are bad and shouldn't be used. Further, some even say this:
>limiting saves is outdated
>it's better to not have combat at all and instead you should run and hide
While not all survival horror games limited your saves, many did in some way. I think it generally is a good thing in survival horror games. And I loathe the switch to "run and hide" horror games.

>It's just a shitpost.
Yeah, you seem to be failing to understand why that's inherently wrong, so I'm going to go about ignoring you now. Feel free to reply once you've actually internalized what I meant.

>If OP wants to talk about Night, they can make a thread about it.

That's literally what he did. Holy shit you are dense.

Wow, I'm starting to think you're legitimately autistic.

>superior are just handhelds with higher resolution

AND you don't know what you're talking about!

Plasma Rifle, Arachnotron eyes, mega armor, blue keys, some computer screen/tech textures, and half of the Doom logo. I don't think >>2472032 has played Doom 1 or 2.
