>>721344034Pretty much this
>>721344034Hard to explain but I always felt it like "yeah, this developer grew up playing games with just one button on a 16 bit computer" and think that is ultimately why the game feels like it does
>>721344034Back in the day games were being made for arcades. There were two places where arcades were really popular and common - Japan and the US. This in turn meant that game development was mostly consolidated to those two regions. When home consoles and personal computers opened new venues for gaming, Europe also entered gamedev in larger numbers. But unlike the US and Japan they didn't have the technical experience due to not having the arcade headstart, which resulted in their early games to have a certain level of "jank" compared to american and jap contemporaries.The term is relevant for the 90s-00s era and is completely meaningless today since european companies have been making polished games for a very long time.
underrailcool ideas but the game has a lot of bullshit design choices. They make the game way less fun

This is especially noticable for the times when mainstream franchises got outsourced to those kinds of devs, Silent Hill Downpour being a notable example.
