[General Discussion] Better at video games when you were younger?

I'm actually better at games now than I was when I was younger. The main reason behind this is that I have much more patience for games like Ecco the Dolphin, which would just piss me off and be super frustrating when I was younger. I can comprehend situations better and be more cautious because of it, like most hard games require.

Then again I still take risks and die because of it, but that can just be brushed off as practice and the gaming continues. I'm also a lot more fussy when it comes to gaming, if there's something in the game which is a flaw, glitch, error, has bad controls, etc, I'll just give up. If they can't make a game hard without including a crap control system, forget it.

I've also noticed only a handful of games are "hard". They're either optionally hard or not hard at all, not like back in the 90's where yo uhad challenge regardless of what game you were playing. Or was that because I was younger and found things harder?

Jam it back in, in the dark.
