Current Events > One thing I dislike about new people getting into a game

(+) Yeah! (+)

Is their complaint of something that's always been there since day one.

For example, I remember when RE5 came out and all the new players were complaining about tank controls. Like bro tank controls have been there since day 1, how are you going to wait until the 5th main entry to complain about it?

Just because a shitty mechanic has been there since the beginning doesn't mean it isn't a shitty mechanic

Because it's their first time playing the series? They can't complain about it in the first entry if they never played the first entry.

Besides, just because it's been a certain way for 10 years doesn't mean it should be that way for the next 10 years. If something sucks (like tank controls in literally anything that's not a tank), then it should stop being done. And more people causing a stir about it is the best way to get that to happen.

Right but you choosing to be super vocal later in the series says something about you.

For example people are now complaining about "power up asspulls" in the new Dragon Ball Super series. Like bro you know asspulls has been a thing with Dragon Ball since day one. How are you going to wait until the 3rd main series to complain about it?

what's worse is when people don't realize the "shitty" mechanics are balanced for the game all around and proceed to claim artificial difficulty.

eg. in RE5 you're not going up against the same type of enemies as in RE6.

Right, and then when you explain to them the game has always been like this and you welcome them to the game they get all mad and take it as an insult they're not as experienced as you.

I don't mind changes in games but seriously if you don't like it you should just move on to what you like instead of acting like your opinion matters and people should cater to you.

It's part of RE's charm and what made it so great.

How can you have supposedly waited years to comment on something when you've only just played/watched it

Tank controls are fine for the right kind of game. I mean RE4 and TLoU are widely considered two of the best games ever, and they both came out waaaaay after the tank control heyday.

Anything that was considered "RE's charm" was stripped out when they released RE4. The series has basically three different genres of pre re4, re4-re6, then re7.

RE4 still had tank controls.

It doesnt really bother me. I usually just try to clear things up, when I can. I wanted to bitch about the falling damage in The Witcher 3, but everyone knows about that.
