Retro games are not really like newer games at all. And not just in the obvious ways.

New games generally hold your hand and then bottleneck cannon fodder towards you. Because making the player feel like a badass has become the point of modern gaming.

In older games, you are not meant to spend 22 hours running down a hallway killing moronic AI enemies who stick their necks out for you. Rather, you are meant to spend that 22+ hours mastering the gameplay and getting good at what you're doing. Overcoming the challenge, rather than simply putting in the time.

Like when people bitch because some random /vr/ game is "only" 3 hours long. But they overlook the fact that it takes potentially YEARS to get good enough to actually beat said game.

I'd say you're probably about average at /vr/ games. For a person who's new to them anyway.

I remember being like 5, and playing Mario for the first time and sucking absolute ass. My mom was amazing at it though. Why? Because she was more of a gamer than me and got more practice in. It's THAT simple.

There are two tricks to older style games.

The first is to Gid Gud. It'll vary by game but a lot of games didn't give you any lee-way with their physics or anything and you had to learn how floaty shit was case by case and what you could get away with. A lot of modern games will give you massive benefit of the doubt and clip things in your favor.

The second is to recognize that a lot of older games eat up time. No continues, starts you over at stage 1, etc. Depending on your personal views you might play with an emulator and save states used reasonably, like the start of a stage or so and resume from there if you really fuck up.

Of course depending on the game part of the fun is retrying and planning a better route. SMB3 comes to mind for sure.

Pretty much this.

The appeal of video games back in the day was that feeling of acomplishment you get by beating a game/AI at it's own game

The appeal of video games nowadays seem to be about pretty graphics and escapism

ie;
>Old Games - Playing against the game
>New Games - Playing with the game

p.s. this is not a dig at modern games, just a personal observation. I remember sucking ass at mario back when I first played it as a child. Now beating it is like second nature. Why? Not giving up, learning from your mistakes and practice, practice, practice

I got past Clinger Winger with a Dual Shock 3, it works fine for pretty much any retro game I've played.

Anyway, buying a better controller isn't really going to help much, practicing and not giving up after a few game overs is all you need. Other than that, try to get used to the pace of retro games if you haven't already.

In modern games you can usually make lots of mistakes with no consequences since you always have infinite continues and plenty of checkpoints, in retro games you have to learn to be patient and carefully execute your moves, you can't waste lives, they are a limited resource. After you get used to the physics and get some good ol' muscle memory going you will be able to do stuff a lot faster.

Find what kind of pacing in a retro game works for you OP, there are more games than Mario, and I'm sure you'll find one game that clicks and you fare better with. Like I'm really good at Megaman, and Zelda, and Castlevania (1 and 3 anyways) to an extent, but I am absolutely terrible at Contra and Metal Slug. If a game is so hard you aren't having fun, don't force yourself to keep playing and playing or you'll just burn out and never enjoy yourself.

If you find that one game that really hits all the marks for you to the point that you want to play it over and over by choice, you'll get good without even realizing it.

I'm genuinely shocked at these statements, but I'm also aware that I would probably say the same things about something like Bayonetta or a modern FPS. I played SMB so much as a kid that the issue of difficulty isn't one I even think about. I know the layout of every level, every hidden 1up, every pipe with a coin room, and every little trick (like changing Big Mario's hitbox in water levels).

You have to stick with one game and keep playing it over and over. It seems much more laborious than it really is, I'm sure if you really tried you could beat the game in a few hours. When you compare it to modern games it's much more worth it, there is little or no fluff/cutscenes/walking long distances to places, the game is all right there.

Personally I don't think of it as a complete/not complated kind of thing, even right after beating a game it's fun to go back and play it some more, really you just play the game to play the game and the learning comes with time. Don't think of everything as an obstacle in the way of your fun, the obstacle is the fun.

I'm not so sure. I've been able to beat some games that are notorious for their difficulty. I've beat Ninja Gaiden before, as well as Megaman 2 (although to be honest, I get the feeling that Megaman 2 must have only become known for its difficulty recently by hipsters because it was actually easy as fuck), Zelda 2, and others. I've beaten every other /vr/ Mario game, and they're mostly fairly average difficulty. But in all these years I've never been able to beat Super Mario Bros. I made it to 8-4 once, with like 8 lives to spare, only to lose them all. I think that SMB is actually a harder game than most people remember because everybody's played it so much that it feels easy nowadays.

Persistence. Plant your ass on the couch and play all day. If your brain is even remotely functional anymore, you will learn and your muscle memory will learn as well.

Here's a tip that works for some action games, including this one. Sometimes you can overthink things. At some points in Super Mario Bros, your best bet is to simply keep running straight forward and concentrate on when to jump and how high. Stopping, going to the left, or otherwise losing your cool can trip you up and actually make things harder than it would be if you just kept up the pace. Of course, this doesn't mean "hold right and b the whole game", but when you're having trouble or you've gotten good at a section, figure out when you can get away with "hold right and b" and get a feel/memorize your jump timing and you can render sections or entire levels into a matter of timing a button presses while you just sprint through.

This is something most people pick up when trying to do time trials in games, nevermind the more serious speedrunners out there. On that note, practicing time trials in games is one of the best ways to hone your skills. I personally enjoyed doing time trials in Sonic CD more than I enjoy all the time travel nonsense in the main game. Finding the optimum path, shaving off every second I can, jumping the perfect height and maintaining momentum. The Android versions of Sonic 1 and 2 also added time trials, and it's a lot of fun getting more and more perfect with each run.

But I'm not trying to turn you into a time trial speedrun fanatic. Just, things can be simplified when you are able to reduce it down to "when to jump". You'll run into tricky moments like in the castles, the hammer bros, and of course swimming, but Mario can avoid a lot of danger by not slowing down and panicking over it. Running is a great defense, you can keep doing it until the situation calls for something else.

lost worlds is 10x harder than smb1. smb1 is hardest out of the rest of smb games.

lost worlds is also incredibly underappreciate. the level design is clever and full of effort and care, but the game is written off as lol hardmode romhack. although this criticism is valid, it discredits the level designer efforts

>>	Anonymous Sat Jun 20 00:35:47 2015 No.2482948 I'm really bad at 2D platformers apparently. Mario styled ones. Actraiser 2 has haunted me for years. I've gotten to Tanzra one time and was promptly killed. I don't know if I'll ever beat it.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jun 20 10:56:16 2015 No.2483604 >>2482946 I love Lost Levels more than I should. It has decent level design with fair difficulty. Too bad I have the all stars port

people also forget a very big point of gaming back in the day.

Moderation.

Nobody sat infront of a CRT for more then 2-3 horus at a time before then losing interest and going outside to play. Parents don't regulate their kids the way ours used to. There is no "X amount of time for gaming, then go do your homework" It's just "Go entertain yourself and leave mommy alone so she can tweet on facebook"

Its sad, but very true in this day and age. You could say SMB is a 2 hour game at max in terms of length, but good luck beating it in 2 hours if you've never played before.

1) You're a fool.

2) More than kids played videogames then as they do now. Go outside and play, are you kidding me? You sound like some 14 yo who should go back to /v/.

3) Hours and hours and hours and hours in front of the tv playing videogames. SMB isn't a particularly deep game, people would play different ones.

4) I'm still pissed off at the stupidity of your post. That you could think that, that "Nobody sat infront of a CRT for more then 2-3 horus at a time before then losing interest and going outside to play." It embarrasses me as a human that you could be a human and say/think that. What are you smoking.

1) Wow.

2) More than kids played videogames then as they do now. Go outside and play, are you kidding me? You sound like some clueless individual who should go back to /v/. That you just automatically assume that only a kid would play a videogame.

>>	Anonymous Sun Jun 21 11:50:46 2015 No.2485714 >>2485546 Yep. You have to be big mario (I'm pretty sure?) and I always do it on the third step, for some reason. Jump on the turtle when it's about 1/3 over the edge. I miss occasionally, just jump in the pit to the left and retry.

Check out DS4Windows.

Run it whenever you plug in your DS4 and it replaces the DirectInput with XInput, which more Windows applications are likely to use.

Basically, the computer sees your DS4 as an X360 controller, and the touchpad as a mouse.
