Video games of the 90s were torture Driven by a wider audience thanks to an ever more diverse offering and the possibility of playing anywhere and anytime with smartphones, new forms of players have emerged over the years. “Hardcore gamers” and “casual gamers” therefore coexist in our era where we can clearly state that there are games for everyone. But not so long ago, the average difficulty of games was much higher, for several reasons that we will see together. The lifespan of games What we call in the industry “the lifespan” of a game is the time it takes to see the end of it. If today most of the big games that we call “triple A” and which correspond to cinema blockbusters (to simplify) offer a fairly substantial lifespan (open world games), this has not always been Standard. Already for an obvious reason of available space on cartridges and CDs: the games were much shorter (apart from a few larger RPGs like Final Fantasy and their 4 CDs). But if the adventure was shorter...
These video games that broke friendships (even families).
No, a game of video games with friends doesn't really play out like in TV commercials straight out of the world of care bears: No one loses with a smile from ear to ear, no one congratulates the winner and above all no one sees Monica Cruz offer to “do it together”.
Video games reveal the darkest side of the player: cowardice, cheating, jealousy, perfidy and betrayal. How many friends have fallen apart, how many couples have divorced, how many children have been disinherited because of video games?
All Mario Kart (Multiplatform) From the Supernes era to today on Wii U, Mario Kart games have been punctuated with blood, tears and elbows in the face for over 20 years. After all, video game shouting matches are like incest: as long as it stays within the family, eh...
Warcraft III (PC) Well, you spent an hour preparing my army made up of ground units, air and healer unit, that should do it. You attack! What ? He doesn't have an army? Curious... On the other hand, he has 1296 defensive towers. YOU HAVE LOST THE GAME!
PokΓ©mon Stadium mini-games (N64) This is the game that creates unnecessary tension par excellence. Wishing the death of a loved one by Mexican crap all because of a Ratatat, is that healthy? Surely not. We know from a reliable source, for example, that Kim Jong-Un threatened to blow up Japan following a game of "Magicarp Jump" with the Japanese Emperor.
James Bond Golden Eye (Nintendo 64) and Nightfire (Game Cube) One of the first games where you could play with 4 people. This thing created more family dissension than PΓ©pΓ©'s legacy. “You guys are annoying, we said not the golden gun!” Minecraft We spend days building our cozy little home: a room with gold walls and silver chandeliers, a waterfall that flows along the side of the house and ends in the in-ground swimming pool for the kids, an elevator that leads directly to the chests full of treasures. That was without counting on his best friend who was a suicide bomber who stuffed the whole thing with TNT. Boom! It's the sound of your virtual body and brotherhood shattering. minecraft
Super Smash Bros Brawl A fighting game where a dinosaur weighing half a ton, horned and covered with sharp spikes like razor blades (Bowser) can have his portrait demolished by a little pink vacuum cleaner (Kirby) has something to show for it most sane-minded lunatics.
The FIFA series (Multiplatform) "So recovered from your 7-0 defeat against the Faroe Islands? What are you doing with that rifle?" Left 4 dead 2(PC/XBOX 360) "Did you understand correctly? When you throw this vial, the hundreds of zombies surrounding us jump directly to the place where you threw it! That's why you should never, ever throw it at a teammate... - Oops"
Mario Smash Football (Gamecube) Another game from Shigeru Miyamoto's franchise. Here, unlike a conventional football game, to succeed in recovering the ball from your opponent's feet, there is no need to tackle. All you have to do is take down your opponent's face! You will be helped of course, by bananas, hallucinogenic mushrooms and other bombs. “Nintendo official supplier of weapons aimed at destroying the family cocoon” would make a good slogan.
The Worms series (Multiplatform) Losing to a friendly grenade is annoying, but when it comes to a banana, a sheep, a pigeon, a donkey, a mole , an obese person or even a grandmother who explodes at you; our mental health is quickly damaged.
