Alright has anyone noticed lately all of the newer games are getting extremely easy to get through no matter what difficulty if you have the hang of the game? All of the newer games have all these handicaps or things are just way too obvious and you barely have to use any mental power where a lot of the older games you had to be as careful as possible just to not die in the process of solving a puzzle or something.

Like for example a game that's been re-made many times. Final Fantasy I. The original game is extremely hard and you have to be careful with what you do and have absolutely no leads where to head exactly and the enemies get really tough and all and the enemies got increasingly stronger to the point where if you didn't do a battle sequence right you're as good as dead.

But the newer versions of the game get easier and easier as I've played them through, The monsters are a lot weaker and much less aggressive and you're characters have bigger stat growths. The hit ratio is much higher killing enemies faster and the exp ratio seems to have decreased to level up your characters. In other words they made the game too easy.

Now if anyone has noticed in any of the newer games that if you're the hero of the story you're basically a god in combat skills and stats even compared to your own teammates? Well anyway just a small rant I wanted to throw out there that newer games are getting [b]TOO[/b easy and they should up the difficulty on everything...

I get what you mean. I felt the same way about the entire Zelda series, however, there were some challenging parts of Twilight Princess. Ocarina of Time had me busting my a** to get through that effing water temple. However, with TP, I had less of a hard time in general... Nintendo is turning us into a bunch of wimps.

Ocarina of Time had me busting my a** to get through that effing water temple.

Honestly I didn't find water temple all that hard, ( I did hear of a rumor that if you made a certain mistake you have to restart the game if you saved) But I was scared shitless in the "shadow temple". Weird stuff Man.

My Favorite Old Time games-
-Orcarina of Time.
-Metal Gear Solid.
-Smash Bros.
-Starcraft
-Diablo
Perfect dark and Harvest moon are some mentions.

New games are alright tho, nothing to bad nothing too good.
Take Final Fantasy as an example, most games in the series were
godlike, however I have to say Final Fantasy 13 was somewhat... Different.

Keepin' it real with th' classics, Chillin' with the 8-bit graphics of Megaman , Missingno, and Ninten

You can't say new games are better, because the old ones started it all.

Definately would agree with OP. Some of the newer games difficulties can't raise a candle near the some of the old ones.

Yeah older games were fun, newer games have way better graphics. They don't continue on like the Zelda series any more.
