Not even platformer speedrunners try to larp like you guys for the sake of sounding hardcore.

Why is this dude allowed to use the trihard emote?

The people who say it’s easy have been playing for 20+ years.

>>718391273 (OP)
/v/ barely plays games and is extremely casual at the games they do play.

You could have an entire action game thread reach bump limit and probably not one person ITT has S-ranked any DMC game, Pure Platinumed any Bayonetta game, done a single NUR, and there's probably only like 1-2 that have beat MNM of any NG game in any capacity.

It's even worse with more niche genres like shmups or arcadey games

>some literally who black guy
Not subscribing to your channel, OP.

But these games aren't hard if you grew up on them obviously. I played the fuck out of DKC1 and 2 when I was young, and when you got more time and less games you just keep grinding at them until you beat that shit. A lot of players who didn't grow up on games older than the N64 are used to baby tier shit and just throw out a game the instant they hit a wall.

Dkc 1 is legitimately easy except for the barrel level in the ice world. Dkc2 is challenging starting with the bramble level in kremland. Dkc3 just has some ass gimmicks but is slightly easier than 2. Gen alpha would definitely not be able to beat these games though.

Send me to live in a cabin in the woods with only that small library of those "prestigious" video games and I'll come out with all of your fabled achievements in 2 years.
Home internet connections have stunted an entire generation of gamer legends.

Wow you newfags really tell on yourselves. That or we need to enforce the 18+ rule more.

This is how Women see video games.

/v/ can't even get past Crash 4's time trials and fully endorses a mod that makes the game easier. The tough guy facade falls flat in its face if you've lurked in this place for more than an hour.

I thought you were making a joke about gorillas then I saw the actual thumbnail.

kek if true

I beat all the Castlevanias and Mayrios and Sonics and yet my brain just can't comprehend DKC at all. Sure I've beaten them but I can tell I suck absolute shit at them for genuinely no reason.

>>718394772
The DKC games are good platformers but they play with the formula a little compared to the ones you mentioned. Something about the way the animations line up with the terrain takes getting used to. And I say this as a die hard DKC fan.

If you try getting into the games again, one trick is that you can roll off ledges and jump from the end of the roll. That gives you some extra distance.

Try the Gameboy color port of donkey kong country for added difficulty!

Unless somebody has done a spoiler-free ascension in nethack, I can't take anything they say seriously when it comes to difficulty.

>>718391471
This, I think they're easy now but I've died a fucking lot in these games

>>718391640
>the barrel level in the ice world
That one's only hard because the animation on the barrel cannons is fucked and there's a frame where the sprite tilts before the object tilts.

>>718391273 (OP)
because youre comparing it to what we have today, which is handholding central because companies realized instant dopamine earns you money. DKC was never particularly hard, but that's not a bad thing

>>718394772
Mario is night and day compared to DKC

>>718395626
Dkc had a gameboy, gameboy color, and a gameboy advance port. What a time to be alive

>>718391273 (OP)
Because they are

wow publishers could just outright lie back then

>>718391273 (OP)
For me the Donkey Kong Land gb games are more difficult

>>718391273 (OP)
I'm comparing this to parental abuse, you can't realize what it is unless someone tells you.
I finished DKC2 when I was young and play it yearly or so, whenever people talk about its difficulty I'm baffled. I just saw a streamer finishing it, he's a tryhard playing most of his games on max difficulty but somehow DKC2 was hard to him.
Celeste felt impossible to me comparatively.

You really don't notice how much time you dump into these games as a child. When I was a kid I was blasting through Mario Kart DS like it was nobodys business, snaking across the course and back. Recently dug up my relic of a DS and popped in MKDS after a decade+ and I could barely drift without crashing into a wall. I even had my old Time Trial ghosts so I knew I wasn't misremembering things either. The amount of time I'd need to put in again to be as good as I was when I was a kid is daunting.

The things I'd do to be able to see ghosts and stats from my gaming childhood.

>>718391273 (OP)
Those games are usually like 2-3 hours of content max but kids still took 30-40 hours for a regular completion back then.

>>718405086
I recently played Shovel Knight and needed about 6 hours per campaign. If it wasn't very generously checkpointed but had lives and gameovers instead, each campaign easily would have taken me more like 30

>>718398689
That time has passed
