Really cool to just be racist for no reason
wait why did the dude become black
gamer problems
Racism. They don’t like all the black people in games now
(But you knew that and were just pointing it out more cleverly than I)
My personal interpretation was the guy is just overly tan and potentially covered in mud, because he’s so tough and runs around on battlegrounds all day long.
Well, and the color palette is gray-brown in general, because we had an abundance of those, especially military shooters in the early HD era.
But yeah, who knows, could also be that the post originated from 4chan or the like and is just racist.
The whole game is darker, less cheerful, grimmer. The player is literally and figuratively more filled out and military. Pointing out the obvious because OP be like.
“Oh very nice ‘Asian’ character! Bet you killed a ‘yellow’ dragon as well, while running from a red ‘commie’ dragon!”

Love to hear your take on the male cardinal turning into a raven. Bet you can jam a racial take into that as well.

Hmmm… So by this reasoning, pickles are racist…
I knew it!
Missing micro transactions and battle pass ads
This shit is so tired. There are tons of amazing modern games that look more like the first pic.
Games have become more gamified.
It’s true. When people talk about gamification they’re actually talking about systems that were added to games to make them feel more like a job - e.g. Collect 100 badges, log on every day, use the shop.
No arrows? Literally unplayable
And the modern game has no yellow paint, unlike the old one. How can you know where to go???
And when you die once it asks if you’d like to skip the bird.
Missing quite a few ui elements. Glowing highlights, boxes, circles, arrows, bullshit
the crow should be yellow
Funny, since the “then” also features handholding in the form of a giant banned with “checkpoint” on it.
This also doesn’t take into account how much more complex games have become.
Compare Super Mario to something like God of War. “Walk to the right” to “explore vast environments”. And even those games are average.
I think there is just way more games now so you can pick a game back then and find a bad game to compare it to now, but there are also tons of really good similar games now you just have to sort through so many
Games back then also had to fit on a specific chip in the cartridge. A lot of them would probably have had a lot more fluff if they had more space to put it on.
This is old. Games aren’t all brown mush anymore.
Yeah, the whole “achievement unlocked” thing is from when Flash games were king
Someone like 15 years ago made a vid series showing Doom if it had been made like CoD

5000 gold for an hour double jump height
They used to put all that stuff in the manual because there wasn’t room on the cartridge.
