I appreciate the shout out. This is the exact reason I hate save states and using level select codes, it takes away from the gratification of beating a game.

It really does. A guide at least tells you how to do it. Cheats just avoid the challenge altogether.

Dude, I'm so glad you point out the struggle of trying to find stuff to help you in old school games with magazines back in the day. I would get so excited for a new Nintendo Power and then so defeated when I'd open it, flip through, and find NOTHING for the game stumping me... Nowadays, if--IF--I make the time to play through a RPG I use a guide but it's so I can get/do everything in one playthrough as possible--I barely have time to game much less to play it again. Or games with collectibles, like Mafia and Assassin's Creed, I have Lady Laci or her sister telling me where to look for things.

It's nice to have a partner when doing collectible filled runs. I also have no desire to play a game multiple times, even if I love it. I need to experience as many adventures as possible.

Great video. The other thing I think is different is that when we were kids we had only a couple games , so if we got stuck , there wasn’t much else to play. Now people have 300 games and 3 consoles to choose from that they haven’t played yet . So if you’re stuck on a game , you start to think well I can just play this other game instead so why waste time messing around with this one.

Yes I agree. We only had 6 games and those 6 games had to be played over and over again. I remember Robocop on NES. I'd never play that other than that's the game I was given. I just had to grind it out.

I have this with my kids all the time. When ever we get stuck in a game they tell me to look it up on the phone. I don't and it pisses them off.

Hahah. It's a good lesson for them for sure. Just because you can, doesn't always mean you should.

Dude, I look at it like this... when I was a kid I had all the time in the world to play and beat a game, as an adult all these adult responsibilities shorten my game playing time, so I will take all the help I can get. With that said, I'm pretty happy that I beat GnG Resurrection on the switch last night without any help or looking up anything online.

Well, I gave it a solid effort on Gameboy but got stuck somewhere along the way and have no idea where. But, it was after about 3/4 of the game. It was a solid grind. I really wish I had the cart still.

You picked up on loads of great points there and I 100% agree. It is so easy to cheat your way through a game now. When we were kids we only had 1 or 2 games a year so used our time to "play" the games. I always say to my kids they dont like games where you can actually die. Have you notive that? Old games you had like 3 lifes and thats it, start again! Now a days its all, die, respawn... when they try my older games they die a couple of times and give up saying "this is too hard" :(

Great point!!! Nowadays you can die 100 times and restart at the last checkpoint. A great example is Sekiro. Even though it was tough, I could try the same bosses over and over and over again. If it was the good ol NES days, I'd have 3 lives to try and that would be it.

I played the campaign of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War without a walkthrough. I just felt the controller rumbling for the lock picking and when I was going through the doors of P.T. so I can get done with the campaign of Black Ops Cold War. And I use video walkthroughs for where I need to go and what to do and it's only for JRPG's and Fallout. And I can't do text walkthroughs because I'm like Patrick Star with the board because I'm a visual learner I work better with pictures. If I can beat a retro and morden game without looking up a walkthrough I'm taking it for the game I beaten. And I'm taking it when Resident Evil Village comes out

I get and i understand, what you saying in this video (i say this because english is not my native language, so to me it takes some time to translate speech in head). I know that, there is still gamer's, that without any help, play games and if they don't beat those games, they give up. And that is fine because, mental health do matters to well-being. So i say that it is also sometimes fine to look help from online, if you cannot truly figure out, how to solve some puzzle, where to go next in game, etc. but only after you first have yourself try'ed many times, to solve that puzzle, etc. Also, if gamer is mentally handicapped (like i am), that can bring own extra challenge to any game. But also, it depends type of the game, if you need look help. Me myself, look help from internet (only after i myself try first many times, without help), if puzzle is too hard in game, i don't know where to go next, i don't find something that i try to look for, how to bet some boss (most times i find out that, is not about how to bet, but it is about, how skillful gamer i am, and getting more skillful in game, can be harder than just find something in game's world), etc. It's healthy sometimes, to challenge yourself (all of us have limits, and sometimes challenging those limits, can rise those limits), but suffering in game and not getting any result, is not fun at all. So it's good to sometimes get help from walkthrough, etc. if game is too hard (because they have made those walkthrough, etc, to us to use, if we need) + some games are already so hard to play, that getting little help is fine. I hope that it's ok, even i type text about some same things, that you said in this video ^^'.

Hey thank you for watching and you make some great points that I totally agree with. I don't think the internet or online help is bad, I actually appreciate it at well. I just know a lot of gamers don't even try to beat a game without a guide these days. Honestly, it doesn't even matter, because gaming is supposed to be fun for whoever plays. So there isn't a right or wrong way to play. Thank you for leaving a comment.

Can't wait to see it

You know I had a similar convo with Megadan29 awhile back. He had posted a vid about thoughts on whether you are better at gaming now or when you were a kid. I had commented I was better as a kid than I am now at gaming. Games that were hard as heck I could beat easily, now I can't beat crap without a guide or save scumming or whatever lol. But I also think we had more time as a kid too. You know. Go to school, play games. Get long as vacations like in the summer, etc. As an adult you have way less time. Jobs, kids, whatever your responsibilities are. It's hard to stay focused and learn through trial and error like we used to as kids. Also there are like a billion games now and new ones constantly released. Back in the day is was limited. Like with the Nes, where Nintendo had regulations on companies on allowed to release one or two games per year. Which is why Konami for example had to make other names like Ultra to cheat the system and release more stuff. But yeah man I agree. As a kid I could run through Ninja Gaiden or Castlevania no problem. Now I'm lucky if I make it to stage 4 in both lol. Not that I mind modern games at all. I do quite enjoy plenty, but I believe aging and modern tech have made me rusty in gaming skill. Cheers Chris!
