Why don't people think Arcade games are = to Retail games.

I don't get it.

An arcade game could be better than a retail game but NNOOOOOO it's STILL not even equal to it.

Braid could be 50X better than Call Of Shooter: Reloaded and people will still see it as inferior to a "full product" game.

What is Braid, anyway?

Idk. There are loads of good arcade games. Who cares if they aren't seen equal to retail games? It just makes them cheaper

Well, I guess this generation most people have come to expect their games to be fully 3d ...except noel
But yeah, it's mainly graphics and also because you can never really get arcade games in shops/retail, the way they're only downloadable makes them seem like they're not full games. And usually they're...well, like "arcade" games as the name implies. They don't offer diverse gameplay usually.

They're simplier, easier to code, and graphics aren't as good.

Lol.

I think that's far from the truth. It's like when someone here mentioned that the 360 and PS3 have games that tend to keep things fresh like Uncharted or Gears Of War.

Most retail games I've seen have been pretty uncreative when compared to an Arcade game like Braid or Limbo(?).

I agree, the most unique games come from devs that make games like braid, flower, linger in the shadows, shadow complex, etc.

Thats not always true. Lookl at Hydro Thunder. Switchball. Beautiful.

Arcade games ftw.

Theres no Halo arcade game so that alone makes them inferior

I don't mean diverse in the sense of doing something different. I mean offering variety in gameplay.
But then again, gears is a retail game and that has no variety in gameplay xD

they have less content, en stuffs
