eep

you could say this was the end state from its inception i guess, the whole point is you arent going to be making money from the people who are good enough to beat the game or a good chunk of the game on minimal coinage. im just upset because that delicate "hard but with the tools to succeed and thrive if you learn how to best it" balance is completely disregarded in a lot of these licensed titles.

im sorry if you take offence to this, im just whining about the death of the arcade and the feasting upon its corpse that capitalism is doing.

"wow thats a helluva generalization orchid but what about those places that carry imported rhythm games and stuff"

i hear about those places and ive yet to come across one. most of the arcade stuff ive had access to is either retro stuff in varying states of maintinence, or modern bullshit.

racing games tend to be ok though, which is suprising youd think theyd find some bullshit to sneak in there too but theyve remained mostly ok

this is gonna be a slightly emotional statement but american arcades have no soul anymore, its just amusement rides with toll booths and thinly veiled gambling

a good example of the cheap bullshit im talking about is Aliens Extermination's final boss basically having no hitstun and impossible to cancel attacks (unless you let loose all your special ammo, which then means you have nothing but Pulse Rifle rounds left)

the operator options even let you adjust the minimum time a credit can last before you can get a game over and how long to give iframes to the player after they take a hit
