How were boomers able to beat this game?

>>719005870 (OP)
Boomers mastered an ancient technique created by the old tibetan monks called "holding the run button and pressing the jump button with one finger".

>>719005870 (OP)
it's piss easy if you compare it to 90% of nes library

I didn't I just pooped my pants after I died
Another thing that hasn't changed

Defend the hitboxes. You can't.

We pushed the button

ZoomGOD here

They adhered to the wisdom of the ancients

Where did this "game I literally beat as a 6 year old is difficult" maymay come from? I can understand if it was DKC2, but the first one? The only level that might be difficult is platform peril.

Reminder that Donkey Kong Country SNES trilogy has worse hitboxes than Dark Souls 2.

zoomers and alphas have completely fried their attention span and cannot stick with any game that has even the slightest bit of friction. as a result games like these are completely incomprehensible to them. There's a webm that's floated around here, I don't have it saved, of some coon streamer girl who just sits and continuously rewinds super metroid on the switch NSO emulator every time she gets killed while making a disgusted face and rolling her eyes. that is how zoomers play these games if they play them at all, and the only reason they would do it in the first place is so that they can post it on social media to appear quirky.

>>719007261
you don't play retro games poser, fucking kys.

the last third of this game is hard, but not in a good way. If I'm honest the game could've been shorter and would be better for it.

>>719008027
>hitboxes
Just fucking roll everywhere and you don't need to worry about hitboxes.

>>719008163
I agree Gen Z and Gen Alpha have diminished and severe cognitive decline that include but not limited to: attention span of a goldfish, severe lack of self-awareness, media illiteracy, illiteracy in general, failed mathematics comprehension, and ADHD. Donkey Kong Country SNES trilogy still have bizarre hitboxes.

>>719007726
I hate fucking people like you. You ruined everything. Fucking zoomers just parroting things they've heard on the internet while never ever touching anything except roblox and minecraft. You literally deserve the shit that is todays gayming industry.

>>719005870 (OP)
Highlight erase game on the file select and enter BARRAL.

If you still game over then that's on you.

Back then there wasn't an attitude of "change everything to make me happy" because participation trophies weren't handed out like candy, yet.
Games didn't get patched so we played what we got and could actually handle adversity and 1 control layout.
Accessibility wasn't mandatory, so we put up with things and grew stronger as a people.

Zoomers grew up complaining about everything and being spoonfed bling and colors and loot, so they don't understand working hard for a tiny reward.
If zoomers beat a game and unlocked 1 skin they would freak the fuck out and scream about it online.
Back then we took that 1 skin and bragged about it at school.

TL;DR Kids today are spoiled rotten. Fact.
What's the saying?
>Hard times create strong people
>Strong people create good times
>Good times create weak people
>Weak people create hard times --- We are here

DKC1 isn't even hard. There's no timer so you can stop and plan most jumps unless it's a minecart level or that one with the batteries.

>zoomers
Except I'm 37 and got the game Christmas morning the year it came out.

>>719005870 (OP)
More expensive and fewer choices, you made do.

We need WW3 so gratitude comes back.

>>Weak people create hard times

And here we be forever

>>719008163
I heard alphas are getting in touch with retro because theyre being taught what a scam modern AAA gaming is. Zoomers have embodied the free app store and web browser world of gaming, and that has one great effect that unties the idea of a good looking game needing popularity or the logo of a big company to make it good or fun. Fueled with those teachings I hope that alphas help either bring us into an era of glorifying good games and rejecting the shite or at the very least kill the system by pirating everything and causing another vidya market crash where quality and passion will rise from the ashes.

>>719005870 (OP)
This isn’t a hard game
Only finding the secrets is hard because most of them are hidden in gotcha death pits that normal players would avoid
2 and 3 are the same, with the only true difficulty spikes appearing in the extra levels

>>719008930
alphas are playing ipad f2p games and roblox, this is not true at any sort of scale. it will just get worse.

>>719008764
overall p easy stuff going on today for 'hard times'

>you don't play retro games poser
you're projecting. dkc games have pretty much perfect controls and movement while most nes games play like shit which makes them unbearable. this must be your first 2d platformer.

>>719009254
nes has a lot of shovelware but the cream of the crop games play extremely tightly on real hardware

>>719008272
This is literally the easiest game in the trilogy, you falseflagging nigger. Even Castlevania IV, Act Raiser and Aero the Fucking Bat are harder than this.
Unless you exclusively played first party Nintendo games on the system like a bitch (exclusing Super Punch Out) you would never call this game hard

>>719009390
thats exactly what most nusoitendies on here do actually, they only play the retro nintendo titles (if that) and thats what forms their entire view on the era

>>719008272
Nigger I could beat it with my eyes closed when I was 6

>>719005870 (OP)
we are better at games than you

>>719009254
>>719009347
DKC doesn't have tight controls at all. Movement has a momentum to it.

>>719009641
>dude just rewind and save state past anything difficult and beat the game in 30 minutes then have extremely vocal opinions about the game and post reviews of it on backloggd and talk authoritatively on /v/ about it and act like you beat the game

>>719009695
"nes games play extremely tightly on real hardware" yes the nes game known as dkc

>>719005870 (OP)
They played it every day for hours.

>>719009390
if you fags actually played retro games(and not just know about them via your homo streamers), you would never qualify retro titles based on their difficulty. That's how I know you're not retro gaming, because you need to love and appreciate the craft of making good vidya to indulge in them, not just spamm hurr durr this ones hard but the other ones not so much, like it's a fucking souls thread.

fucking kys losers.

I enjoy Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze in Funky Mode.

>>719005870 (OP)
You played, failed, restarted, played again. Replaying maps because you game over'd eventually led to you mastering the game and in the process you'd often find all sorts of secrets that end up making the game easier.

Honestly, slowly discovering all of the secrets on the maps that let you blow through them with a bunch of extra lives was the best part. The game was super forgiving if you actually spent time to figure it out, but zoomers are denied that experience because instead they just use the built-in savescum feature to repeat the same jump until they get the square peg through the round hole.

>>719005870 (OP)
what? play super meat boy from 2010, bait thread

>>719009703
Ever heard of quarter muncher? Arcade games like Dragon's Lair were designed explicitly to pad out gameplay hours with humiliation ritual game overs. Not convinced? The developers of Disney BuenaVistaGames (Lion King SNES/Genesis) admitted they had to make the game a lot more difficult in order to prevent Blockbuster quick rentals. Some games even had what I would describe as subscription guide bait like Zelda 1 needing a full map guide to have an idea of what to do.

I'd argue at least half of the NES/1990s era games were designed with explicitly instant game overs to draw out the gameplay time. I've beaten more difficult platformers like Rayman Origins 100% completion and the hitboxes in DKC SNES were dogshit, all of them had issues.

Fun fact: a guy who's biggest brag is : my video games were harder, is the weak man
