Anyone else than me who thinks that the button-mashing period is over, and that you actually have to learn techniques to beat games now?
Games like Fifa 08 and GT5 take finesse and precision to beat, and I find myself pretty annoyed that I have to spend hours "training" them, to beat teams/tracks with the smallest marginals possible.
And in the end, I don't get that good, far from it, I find a different approach.
In Fifa, I beat them down, play dirty, in GT I skid across grass and rebound on the walls.
There has been difficult console games forever, and I don't see how you would ever get the impression that they were just button mashing. The only buttonmashing that I really experience in games is fighters but even then you still have some understanding of what your doing unless you literally just pound the pad. I think one of the most complex console games that requires like training and dedication is like Virtua Fighter 4, maybe 5 too I haven't played it. There is so many freaking counters and like anti counters in the game its insane but in a somewhat cool way. Too bad I don't really have like competitive fighting friends or that game would have been awesome, I probably should have gotten 5 for the online play but I'm a bit Virtua Figheter Outed from last summer.

Guess it's just a myth or urban legend then.
I always thought console games were easy back when I visited friends houses, on sega, nintendo and stuff like that.
I didn't think any of my PS2 games were that hard either... but these two are just monstrous.
I feel the complete opposite: I thought games on my NES were a lot harder than games on SNES, not to mention how much easier modern games are than games on PS1... Might have something to do with aging, though.
Depends on the console. Some stuff was just plain stupid on older consoles, like Battletoads, and some stuff was legitimately difficult, like Contra. Though I do prefer modern console's difficult games. Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox blows the NES ones out of the water in terms of fun.
