>level punishes you if you try to just mindlessly run through it why do modern games somehow miss this basic design? are peope now a days just retarded or do devs assume they are cause the devs are retarded?
>>12767497>games are gamesQuality thread
>>12767504the number of times i have tried a game and finished the first levels without even thinking is crazy as game should require you to use your brain
>>12767506>games ramp up in difficultyDid you want a trophy or something for pointing out how basic things work or what
>>12767508this is the second level of this game and im pointingout modern games dont do this at all they sit at the same low difficulty until the last parts and then ramp it up so slightly you barely notice it i should never win and then realize i have no idea how i won it should never " just happen"
>>12767515You're right. Modern games have zero obstacles in the second level. Every second level in every modern game is void of enemies and pitfalls and can be completed by holding forward on the control stick. I feel so foolish now.
>>12767523you say it sarcastically but thats how it works now
>>12767524Yeah its not but ok
>>12767526it is though like i said i have beaten parts of games without having to make a single conscious decision and sometimes it almost feels like i play through entire games without ever really thinking they never force me to stop and think about the best strategy anymore and i wonder how that's meant to be fun

>>12769791LMFAO
Running is OP in so many retro games, though. The devs spent all their time balancing the game around the assumption that you would advance at a "normal" pace, so choosing to run full speed nonstop literally breaks the difficulty.
>>12767497What? if you actually just hold right and keep running this level does exactly not punish you at all, they are not fast enough.You won't get flowers and red coins, but in that way all levels of the game "punish" you for just running through them.
>>12767497I wonder if I could just get a slip of cardboard and write "you won" and sell it to OP?This game is very easy to just run through. Getting every red coin has its moments. But overall the game is easy.
>>12769791>not noticing the subtle slowdowns and breaks
>>12767497Super Mario Bros. 1 is designed for you to run through the level without stopping. Everything just falls into place for you.
>>12767523This is certainly the case in Metroid prime 4. You literally just walk in a straight line and win.
>>12772190All the scrimblo chips in the world and they still couldn't get SNES to run something smoothly.>2.68 mhzEmbarrassing.
>>12767497Those are called passivity traps. They encourage more active gameplay and less of passive screen staring and less of falling victim to diverting attention away from the game. Good stuff.
THREE TIMES-kun still obsessing over the super nes?
>>12767497>Be mindless>Get punishedYour words, not mine.
>>12769791but this is mindfully running through it
