Night in the woods

@ericsmith551 Maybe you find Super Metroid interesting because you played it as a kid and like it since then. But I can tell you for sure that every single AAA game would be a lot more interesting for the vast majority of gamers. Rockstar isn't buying the games millions of times by themselves. All these new AAA games are huge projects made by hundreds of talented developers and designers that have the sole job of making the game fun and repayable. There is a reason that tens of thousands of people are currently playing RDR2 and not whatever that 2D atari game you said was. Forget about the graphics, can you actually imagine any person below the age of 30 play Super Metroid for more than 5 minutes, No they would get bored really fast. Maybe thats because of dopamine tiktok brain bla bla but when these same people are playing newer games for hours on end despite of their tiktok brains that just proves my point even more. Video games have gotten much better just by proxy to computers becoming better in every way. These companies arent making bad games, they are just making games that appeal to the the average gamer which isn't your middle aged self.

​@@dadsade09ai9diadksladwaop Wow, reported my response for damaging your poor feelings I guess. Round 2. FIGHT! You, like the creator of this video, have no tangible experience dealing with other people and therefore are incapable of understanding that other people have different thoughts, likes and dislikes. This entire thing, is subjective. Much like movies, I'm sure you have a movie that you absolutely love and have found people that think it's stupid. Same thing here, it's about personal preference and has little to do with your opinions, wants and desires. I asked the creator for proof that the claims made in the video were valid, no response. I did the same in the previous response I posted for you, and instead of responding you reported my message because you have no proof. So, exactly like the creator of this video, you have no evidence and no real basis to your argument other than your opinion. You're a failure in debate, go read a book, talk to people, come back in fifteen years when you actually have an inkling of understanding for this world and it's many different peoples. Oh, I almost forgot. You never even bothered to actually read what I wrote, you just busted in here whining about your opinion. As is evidenced by you whining about how great new games are versus old games, when that wasn't even the argument I was making. Then you warbled about my pointing out the ignorance of the comparison made in the video, even though it's a valid point. This child compared a game that was first created and put into arcades IN THE YEAR 1979 with a game that was released IN THE YEAR 2010. But by far the funniest part that both you and the creator of this video glossed over, is the fact that they aren't even in a similar genre. That's like comparing an apple you left in your school locker 31 years ago to a banana you just picked off the tree today (I can already see some of you chitlins hauling out your calculators to see if 1979 + 31= 2010, and yes, I am laughing at you.) I also find it funny that your absolutely degenerate arrogance assumes middle-aged people don't play video games. That's hilarious. Stupid, but hilarious. But hey, if you work on your personality someone may, some day, find you a worthwhile human being to spend time with. Good luck hoss, you're gonna need it. Eric. (P.S. Probably about to blow your mind kiddo, but I've played the Dark Souls series, Demons Souls, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring. You see, in my day, games weren't your friend. They tried to break you. So these new games that everyone cries about how hard they are? They're not hard, they're easy. Go play Ghosts and Goblins from the NES, THEN you come talk to me about difficult games.)

​@@ericsmith551 I didn't report your message, But of course you assume that I did. Now, I really don't understand why more than half of your comments are just absurdly cliché phrases like your some supervillain out of a movie and just simple character assassination instead of actually talking about the video. You don't have an argument, In the mess of your keyboard warrior wall of text, you forgot to actually say something more than "its personal preference and old games are harder!!". Sure, the comparison isn't fair, but do you actually think that matters. What we are trying to see is are new games better than old games. For me, better means more fun. And I think me and you both realize which games are more fun by where all the billions of consumer dollars are going. People aren't hypnotized to spend any money. You admit that you don't dare to argue that old games are better, because you know they aren't. Instead you just invalidate the opinion of the creator instead of actually debating it in good faith. And please stop with these cliché phrases, no you aren't cool, your at least 40 year old debating about video games instead of doing something productive. Just by the way you type I can see that you get a kick out of debating on the internet, which is really sad. I hope you find something else that makes you happy. You aren't saving the world Eric, you're shitting out a wall of text disguised as a youtube comment.

@@dadsade09ai9diadksladwaop Typical child, you learn nothing and try to blame everything on everyone else. "You're just using cliché phrases! And MONEY equals MORE FUN! OH! And the creator isn't wrong, you just said he's wrong and didn't debate it with him!" Creator didn't even attempt to debate me on it, because he knows I'm right. You, as I have said repeatedly before, have absolutely no understanding of people. It's excruciatingly simple, kiddo. Games are like art, there is no definitive "This is best, because reasons." because it's subjective. Which I noticed you didn't even have the balls to argue that point, you avoided it like the plague and whined about other things in an attempt to save yourself from looking worse than you already do. You're under some adolescent delusion that your opinion of me matters to me. It doesn't. I'm not trying to "be cool," that's what children who care about the opinions of others do (like yourself.) And in spite of me attempting to explain to you what reality is, you still don't get it. It is personal preference kiddo, that's most of life. Oh, and you're seriously going to talk to me about character assassination when you ended that first reply with "You're old."? You want cliché supervillain lines? Fine, eat my shorts you neomaxizoomdweebie. You're right about one thing, I do enjoy debate. Unfortunately I keep winding up with children that don't understand how debate actually works. Your entire premise of "More money equals more fun!" is ignorant at best, and demented at worst. Someone forgot that back in the 80s video games didn't cost 60+ dollars a copy. There were no "Ultimate Edition of Power" multiple copies being sold. Why? You had to sell a complete product. Half of the games being sold today are only partial products. Back in the 80s, 90s and even into the 2000s, people had to actually MAKE their game before they could sell it. You're going to sit there and tell me those games are objectively worse simply because the amounts of money spent on them aren't as much as games today? Good luck selling that idea hoss. Man, you are one of the angriest little critters I've stumbled across in my time here. You sit there, telling me I'm not saving the world like that was the granddaddy of insults. Yet all you do is show over and over that you don't understand this world. People do what they enjoy. I enjoy debate, even if it is sub-par debate with the intellectually infirm. You're also of some addlepated opinion that age has any bearing on this. I've made friends with gamers across this planet, some of which had been playing games since before I was born. Gaming has no age requirement and very few age restrictions (not counting the ratings of videogames and whatnot.) Being old doesn't make me wrong, it just makes you petulant when you whine about it over and over again. So, go ahead, change my mind, but we both know you that you can't. Not because I'm right, but because you're wrong. Oh, I almost forgot. You were crying about my "wall of text"? Kid, you don't understand the concept of paragraphs. Look at that sad, dejected pile of letters and punctuation marks. Just laying there, not even an attempt at actually breaking it up into palatable portions. Again, you came at me with opinion and conjecture. I will verbally slap you for it every time. Come at me with facts next time, and let's make this fun! (By the by, not quite into my 40s yet, better luck next time kiddo.)

Agreed. Far too often, it's just meaningless eye-candy and nothing of substance. I don't give a shit about the graphics, I care about how entertaining the game is and a ton of games these days are just not entertaining. It's shallow eye-candy and nothing more. Every generation of console gets sold on the quality of the graphics while everything else in the game gets worse and worse and worse.

The video is not far sided in any of the ways. I dont think new games are better everytime, but many of the aspects and elements have infact become better. If you have watched the video you would se that my comparsions and examples are not cherry picked, but just show the evolution of video games. My main point is that many people, i dont know if you have been watching videos like this but many many youtubers making similiar content like mine always talk how old games are so much better without any argumentation or any reason, just because they feel nostalgia. And nowhere in this video i say that if a game is new it is 100% better than an old one. Its just a time where its much easier to do things that back than were really hard to do and i wanted to point out i dont understand why everyone is hating on new games just because they cant feel playing (for example) minecraft in 2012 with their friends or siblings, while they dont have any work to do and their simply living their childhood. I don't want to argue with you, thanks for your opinion, but I don't think it's necessary to be rude, instead of just passing by if you don't like it. Have a nice day!

^ This (the original comment by similorradique, not the response from this froply teenager)

Do you even realize how many niche games are released these days every year? Gaming never been better than now.

@@Akrioz Most niche games these days are aiming to replicate great games of the past. Some are fresh ideas. Not many are well funded, meaning they rely on small or solo dev teams, limiting scope and balance. For every good niche game there are one hundred garbage games. The period I refer to - 1990-2005 - was a period when the best games were also the games with the most funding and were way more prevalent too. For every good game during that period, there were maybe twenty bad games.

I respect your point of view, but the whole meaning behind this video is that almost every aspect have become better (graphics, mechanics, sounds, and even how stories are written). And you see alot of videos where everyone is crying about how new games are so bad/ not because they have clear arguments, but because they feel the sense of nostalgia or just found new hobbies as the years passed. Thanks for commenting!

@@froplyfrogly I think we'll have to agree to disagree, but thank you for your response. Best of luck with this channel.

Mmm..I might even say a little earlier than 1990, but for the most part, you're not wrong. Although there have been some great games between 2005 and now, they aren't usually the mainstream, Triple-A games anymore. There's a video you can find on here about spiritual successors to games that out-performed the original IP. It's a fun little video by OutsideXtra, and it is basically pointing out all the games that either failed because the big publisher was stupid about it, or were out-performed because the big publisher tossed the IP in their bin of forgotten things and failed to realize it had been nearly a decade since a good game for that IP had been released. You would probably enjoy that video, I surely did (so much so that I watched the Commenter's Edition second video they did about it.)

My condolences, I hope things are going well for you. If you have bad thoughts, you can write to me.

great video though, well made and edited well

I respect your opinion !

I checked the timeline for the editing and sound, and there is nothing there. Personally, I don't hear anything, so it might be an issue with your headphones. I'll double-check a few more times, but thanks for pointing it out.

@@froplyfrogly I wasn't wearing headphones, and no other video I've ever listened to produces this sound, and I listen to a lot of conversational videos. Its possibly just side effect of bad microphone input, but its definitely there. I'd buy a better microphone, people with better ears are gonna be turned off by the one your using, unfortunately. I was.

Thanks!!!
