(RAGE) Kid doesn't like Contra, gets made fun of by adults and oth

[yt]rKnzeXkefDo[/yt]

This pisses me off. So some kid tries Contra on the NES for the first time and doesn't like it. He claims the game has bad graphics and sound is bad, and he doesn't like the gameplay.

Sound typical amirite? You can't expect a kid to like such an unintuitive and unforgiving game. Unfortunately, some people went out and are trying to defend their childhood by posting stupid shit about this kid.

As you can see from the YouTube Comments, people don't understand that Contra isn't such a good game any more.

Now people are pissing on this kid for being a brat and not appreciating bad classic games. You see, Contra is quite hard as shit. Kids have much better games to play. Instead of rushing through a level trying not to get shot they can fly a plane over an enemy base pretend to lose control and eject last second out of sight, then sneak quietly by making gun fire to attract attention to your position and run around while people come to check, into the enemy base.

Which sounds like a better time?

Imagine if Halo 3 had no AI, with just enemies running towards you shooting rockets at you while you have little to no cover.

Yeah, I thought so.

(Contra does really suck BTW, way to repetitive.)

Comments

I agree that the kid does deserve the right to be judgmental about the game. I remember first reading that and think of all the angry nerds that were gonna be in the comment section. Games have advanced more and do make those original games look like shit, sound like shit, and sometimes play like shit. But not all those old games are shit. A game like Super Star Wars looks horrible when compared to the Force Unleashed. You can do so much more and actually feel like a jedi in TFU. But that doesn't mean Super Star Wars is bad, theres just better games out there. You know what. Just never mind me. I can't get my point across here. I'm having a hard time explaining it. Just know I agree with the OP slightly.

I think I know what you are getting at.
 
All I gotta say is throw Touhou and Battletoads at him and watch him die again and again and again then get bored and play halo 3.

Arent those games like M or something? Who knew there were Xbox360 Fansboys that freaking young? And for a hardcore gamer he sure hates old school games. I picked up a contra game when i was his age and i still appreciated it.

Xbox360 Brainwashes. Thats all i gotta say. In the next vid he's probably gonna ask. 'Does this game have wifi? Can i talk to people with a headset or something?'[/quote]

He's 11 and I believe it says that in the video which is close enough. Why is anybody surprised? Given that we're in the year 2009 and the kind of games that are popular now as oppposed to at the height of the NES nobody should be surprised...especially if he was unfortunate enough for his first few kind of games to be introduced to him were games like Halo 3 and CoD. You might as well get used to it and realize that things are only going to get worse as far as a lack of respect for old school games. You can partly blame our gaming industry for that in addition to his close-mindedness.
