I object.
You see, the boss battles in Sonic Heroes, are harder than the final bosses of Sonic Adventure 2. (I leveled all the bosses flat in Sonic Adventure 2 in less than 20 seconds). It gave me a chuckle inside, when you said “I haven’t played Sonic Heroes,” because, how would you know… if you haven’t played it?
You see, it is very likely you based this assumption on the Mario Games, based on the fact you included only “new/easy” games made by Nintendo, which is a family company, and therefore children would also be a target audience.
Games made for the Atari 2600 (Pitfall), were older and genuinely harder than either of the “old” games you described in your post.
That game verged on near impossibility, It perturbs me why people would want to play a game (one person actually wanted something that hard) that infuriatingly hard anyway that they cannot get past the first level. If you have played it.
In a nutshell, there are hard games and easy games today, some series have gotten easier and some harder.
Hey guys remember when i Sonic Heroes was definitely harder than Sonic 2?
Really Zappy is the only one? Actually i dont remember saying that myself
Remember when i said Sonic 2 and Super Mario World were hard? Neither do I (I was using them purely for comparison)
You can’t change what i say to prove your faulty point Zappy
No i’m not referring to the Mario Series exclusively, it was an example
I brought that up because everybody is following in Ninty’s steps because of their success doing that
Nintendo’s audience shift has affected the whole industry not just the Mario Series
You’re right there are hard and easy games but nowadays games are more easy, mainly because developers dont realize that the player should be at a disadvantage
We all get everybody wants to kickass but make them work at kicking ass, Like Devil May Cry, these games are difficult and do it right that’s why they’re so awesome.
I’m the hero the odds should be against me not on my side
