you ain't about to argue that pre-HD era games were more glitchy than today's rushed disasters that they fix eventually through patches
pre-HD (well, pre-day 1 patch, really) games were actually finished

I feel like licensed games have vastly improved now. 2D era had some good ones but early 3D era was AWFUL. Movie licensed games were just horrible.

Are those Becky Lynch goggles?
Nice of all of them to go in to visit.
Looking at that women's match you think yeah that sounds like a normal throwaway free TV match. But we literally had this exact same match on the last PPV.
A Link to the Past can be beaten in literally 3 minutes because of glitches.
Ocarina of Time can be beaten in less than 20 minutes because that game is a fucking mess of glitches.
WWF No Mercy had a glitch that completely wiped your save data.
Pokemon Red/Blue had the MISSIGNO glitch

I'm old enough to have played RoboCop on MS-Dos
I expect shenanigans.
ok those are exploits though
regular play of those games are totally fine
regular play of some games today are full of screen tearing/texture glitches/insane unfinished bullshit that literally make the game unplayable until the dev apologizes and puts out a patch. and they know they can get away with shipping an unfinished game because patches give them a way out.
that wasn't the case in the cartridge days
They're glitches. Also the No Mercy glitch I mentioned happened simply by beating the career mode.

I do miss the PS2 era midtier.
Those small, not quite AAA but still above average gaming experiences.

There's still time
Times the entire gaming industry crashed in the 80's: 1
Times the entire gaming industry crashed after that: 0
Hating me is overrated.
There are alot of games that literally can't be beaten from that era. Like Robocop for the amgia can't be beaten. No to mention all those shit famicom games that are glich fest.

I love Nintendo. People worked themselves into a shoot because someone made a rumor about Pokemon on Switch, despite there being no evidence whatsoever, and Nintendo just ignores them like they should.
Don't use glitches and bugs that a speedrunner found after years of playing the game as evidence please. Most of that stuff you wouldn't encounter during your first playthrough of the game.
when ocarina was getting 10/10s, no one was wrong warping from the deku tree to ganon's tower at the end of the game. those are crazy exploits discovered by speedrunners using emulators and hex editors 15 years after the fact. 0.000000001% of players will ever come across those exploits during regular gameplay, and would never come across them unless they intentionally wanted to. come on seph, I don't know what you're trying to argue here.
speedrunning exploits of old games is not at all comparable to companies these days literally shipping broken games at launch that ALL players experience the effect of during a normal, standard playthrough. mass effect andromeda was like 2 months ago.
james rolfe made a living by creating a fake character and working people over frustrating (not really glitch) stuff in older games that were just normal during the era.
speaking of fake characters and working people...

can't a man have a waifu without there needing to be a war over it
Developers have been shipping broken/borderline unplayable/un-optimized games for decades now. Modern games get more spotlight put on them because the industry is way bigger than what it was in the 80s and 90s and there's this thing called the internet that allows information to travel at much greater rates.
Most of the NES Mega Man games are unoptimized as fuck. Goldeneye 007 ran in the single digits anytime something exploded. No Mercy had the already mentioned game-wiping bug, plus the game would run smoother if you turned off the fucking music. Superman 64 happened. There was a bug you could encounter in one of the NES Ninja Turtle games that would make Shredder literally unbeatable. RoboCop on the amiga was literally unbeatable.

It must be similar to what I'm like whenever Emma's on screen.
But Emma is never on screen.
Yes, except it doesn't result in an injury.

People worked themselves into a shoot because they believed a rumor with no evidence that Nintendo would be releasing Pokemon on Switch. Nintendo announced Pokemon on 3DS today. People get mad, not realizing they should be mad at themselves.
