ITT: games you can't enjoy anymore for legitimate reasons.

>>378534863
Well I mean if a Konami 101 entry is your bar then yeah I suppose I can see what you mean. Most of their beat 'em ups are shallow as a puddle of piss. Have you tried stuff like Denjin Makai, Sengoku 3, or Battle Circuit?

>>378534863
Fuck, you fucking suck at video games. Go watch a 1 credit run of Final Fight on youtube, you fucking faggot.

>>378536084
I didn't say shit about Final Fight I'm talking about games where the combat is so shallow that you're just fighting the clock because your credit isn't going to last.
The Simpsons Arcade is the example I posted, if you haven't played it recently you should try it to get some perspective.

>>378534863
>he never tried to learn how to beat these games with 1 credit

I was able to get to stage 4 with 1 credit in turtles in time.
about stage 5 or 6 in Robocop arcade.
almost 1 cc shinobi arcads

>>378536225
There's not one game in the fucking genre that fits your description, or at least none that were successful.

Is it really THAT hard to just accept that you can't play video games beyond the level of a child? Because KIDS used to play games like these back in the day and they were better at them than you are.

>>378536408
quit trying to be edgy.

>I can't enjoy video games unless they reward me for progression

Video games are so dead in the next 10 years

>I disagree with my imagined morality behind a game/genre's design, which I played on some emulator recently, for the first time, for an hour or so
OP why are you virtue signaling? Nobody cares.

>>378539396
>for the first time
the whole point is that it's not as good as I remembered you retard.

>>378541467
This claim contradicts your reasoning for disliking it in the OP, in which you never specifically alleged you played them before.

>>378539396
okay, most beat-em-up games have weak choice and consequence relationships with minimal amounts of choices and ways to fail or succeed.

>>378536408
Shut the fuck up. Op has a point, you sound like a kid having a fucking tantrum. Jesus Christ, fuck off

>>378542186
>Op has a point
What is it, exactly? Logical analysis of his post reveals nothing intelligible.

>>378542182
>weak choice and consequence relationships with minimal amounts of choices and ways to fail or succeed.
Nonsense. Every single frame, you have several choices: what direction to move in or action button to press. How can you not realize this???

>>378542508
I'm not OP but I can maximize my lives in beat em ups but the shit you do is really annoyingly stupid and basically amounts to minimizing contact time with enemies.

The games are more tests of patience than anything.

>>378542186
>This genre of games has no depth
>Therefore I don't like them

This is neither exclusive to beat'em-ups, nor does it encompass most beat'em-ups. River City Ransom was deeper than most NES games.

Shoot'em-ups, on the other hand, have no depth.

>>378542681
Defense in any genre of anything is like that. Not everything should be a full offensive assault.

>>378542718
What do you mean by depth? If you mean number of unique patterns, almost all shoot em ups have more.

If you mean number of mechanics, most shoot em ups still have more.
I'm actually not sure what you mean by depth. Most beat em ups have many pointless features in them that don't actually get used and can easily be removed without affecting actual efficient play.

>>378534863
>shitting on the Simpsons Arcade game
fuck off, go play your movies.

>>378543115
Are you going to show a YouTube link of some autist saying how DEEP of a game shooties are, including COD, to prove your point?

>>378543576
>autist
Why do you deride real gamers? You don't belong on /v/.

I know right??!!

You don't even get achievements in them? Fucking gay as fuck bro haha

>>378543576
No. I just thought about all the beat em ups I played and shoot em ups and it was intuitivily obvious. I haven't taken any measurements I guess but I already know the problem with almost all beat em ups is that there's no wind up time on attacks that's between 100 ms to 250 ms. Because the games don't have this they become simplistic resource management simulators with a first attack advantage that involves hit stunning the enemy for a short amount of time but usually with little hitstun overlap, meaning you do pointless hit and run shit all day to minimize HP bar loss and then focus enemies with more movespeed or more DPS.

Shoot em ups are usually not deep games, but at least they're transparent about what they are.
I would not consider COD to really be a shoot em up. It actually shares more in common with a beat em up than a shoot em up.

>>378544079
This guy's a fucking expert. OP and his rebel band of pleb cohorts never in their wildest imagination expected to be BTFO this hard. They picked the wrong time of day.

>so many buttblasted people with shit taste
Face it, beat'em ups suck. Slow and clunky movement, two attacks, auto combos, shitty enemies, 90% of them are shit. Even the best ones don't have much more to offer.

Battletoads is the only exception.

>>378544270
How was OP BTFO when this poster explained why beat'em ups are shallow and monotonic?

>>378544079

Pretty true beat em ups are usually about crowd management and prioritizing threats. A lot of bosses you need to reverse engineer and find out what works best to minimize that contact time as they either have stupid range, invincibility, or hit like a motherfucking truck.

>>378544645
Because the guy thought that the long winded explanation of how shallow they are = high tier thought provoking analysis of the genre that plebs JUST don't get it

>>378534863
I can't enjoy that game anymore because you can't fucking play it anywhere anymore
Where the fuck can you play it now anyways the 360/ps3 version are dead

>>378543790
>real gamers
You know how I know youre a memefuck that wants to be part of a collective that you think accepts you but only anonymously because the real you is just a boring nerd.

>>378546628
Ton of emulators for singleplayer
If you want online maybe you can find some randoms on fightcade but you might need friends or just ask here

>>378546713
Lol what? You know how I know you don't belong among real gamers on /v/? The very term - the idea that some hobbyists are more enthusiastic than others - triggers you.

>>378547091
I don't know either

>>378547231
No memeing how long have you been here newfriend lol

>>378534863
there's actually very few beat em ups that are considered intentional coin eaters

the first tmnt arcade game feels like that imo
meanwhile turtles in time arcade is fine

>>378548018
>implying only newbies believe in the real gamer 'myth'
Only oldfags know it's not a myth, it's truth. Instead of presuming to attack my character to discredit me, why don't you debate the idea? Oh yeah, because you'll lose.

choose Lisa
jump + attack
win game

if you want a fun, hard Konami beat em up try the 1989 TMNT game

>>378548583
Why don't you just not answer my question with a question only to follow up with an answer to your own question?

>>378549010
Okay then, weasel away. Thanks for proving real gamers are real.

>>378534863
It's a shame the Simpsons game never got a console port. It was really fun.

>>378543576

COD isn't a shmup. Shmups refer to scrolling games where you have to dodge bullets while shooting everything on the screen like Raiden or Touhou.
