Why is the Vic 20 so hard to program for?

I am not trolling, however, if that is the general consensus than i will try to change. I signed up to learn and share knowledge, not to troll. I deeply apologize -

me or him? -
Now, i'm going to get comments ranging from get good to you are not playing it right. Well, I'm currently on hard mode, in the spaceflight terminal. I keep getting murdered, or ambushed by vents and it really hurts that the developers made you go across the hall twice, as if the level wasn't hard enough. This is why i detest achievements for harder difficulties, it's not worth it and it ruins the replay value for me. I wish Microsoft had made them optional. To be fair, i enjoy the alien series, just saw covenant (can't unsee it, with the idiocy of some of the cast be particularly bad) but this game is just...i give up. I'll play Colonial marines or AVP, at least i get to murder the object of my aggression.

Now, granted, the PS2 supports progressive scan (of which i will never see because most HD tv's are not compatible, but it has no support for texture filtering or any anti aliasing, so this begs the question: why make any games for it when the Xbox version is superior in (mostly) every way. For every Gran turismo, there is a Medal of honor Rising sun. just curious, and yes i still have my slim. BTW, what HDTV's support progressive scan?

Text Adventures - Anybody Still Playing?

playing them is fun. making them is better -
i Seriously don't get all the hate. Now, i've played MW1 2 and 3 to death, collected all the intel and gotten bored after all that. Advanced Warfare was fun for a while, but all you could really do was collect intel and replay missions. Infinite warfare opens with a firecracker bang, has no intel and never lets up. I literally felt like the game was putting me in an adrenaline fueled stranglehold and would not let go. The Battlestar Galactica inspired space battles, the very first mission with fleet week, it all looked, sounded and felt AMAZING, which leaves me confused as to why many people dislike the game or are adamant that people like me suck for liking it. When the original game came out on PC in 2001, it was revolutionary. I can excuse Ghosts and even defend COD 3 but i cannot defend a rabid fanbase that puts down others simply because they like a game that in the oppositions eyes is "Rushed". It's really quite simple: The COD fan base is an overly toxic, unbearable mess of "fans" that argue, hurl bile at and at the same time, worship EA for making these games. Now i'm not defending them, even i thought COD had stretched its limits with FInal Fronts on PS2. While i commend rebellion for trying to at the very least make the rogue trooper engine work with the PS2, it wasn't possible. I have been a life long fan of COD and yet for me it is difficult to imagine going back to WWII. Why would you want to go back to the Holocaust? why would you want to re visit Normandy? I understand that some people are praising the graphics these days, but some things should be left alone. Back in the 90's, Shooters were innovative, fun. We all remember the awesomeness of Doom and the beauty of Unreal (in fact, when i saw Unreal Gold, my jaw hit the floor, that was in 2005). Even the quake series was a smash. The anticipation to download one of the greatest shooters in history:Doom, was at an all time high in 1993 (my DOB) and while i never played it growing up, i personally love it, even the reboot is awesome. Wolfenstein 3D will never die, It may be a maze of corridors and nazis but it was a historic achievement. But i'm getting off track. EA must die. To create a better generation of video games that are not tainted by Micro transactions or overpriced DLC, EA must be cut to pieces and it's head stomped into mush. I can understand the fact that i will be flamed for saying this, but i grew up in a time when the word "FPS" meant Doom, Quake or Wolfenstein. I remember being so excited to get home so i could play Medal of Honor for my PS1, that even though i lived in shit and a screwed up neighborhood, that i could at least enjoy a good game. Even though we had to suffer through Dial up, and lightning storms, sleeping in the car and risking Motel 6, i was happy, because i could always drift back into my mind, using these games, violent as they were, to unwind, because they contained alternate worlds, worlds of wonder, worlds where reality did not mean anything, and People want to go right back to an era that is best forgotten because of the hell that the nazis created. The Next DLC will be playing as Joseph Mengel, experimenting on babies, or playing as a nazi, using Jewish babies for target practice. The COD community is barely that. Go ahead, insult the newbie, berate him for not knowing how to play. and then taunt him with the words "go kill yourself". I read about Markiplier (a well known and funny youtuber who i look up to) who's friend Danial was found dead. I weep for those that have to suffer the cruel words that i see each day youtube. "Kill yourself, no one will miss you" and other things that these people should be admonished for. Words cannot kill, but they can hurt. I have attempted suicide twice due to bullying. It got so bad that i tried to lay down in the street so i could get run over, because i did not give a SHIT anymore. And yet, the COD community sees fit to bully the same people because of their skill level, that when they ask for help, they are greeted with fag and newbie. It...It needs to stop. Gamers? You people aren't Gamers. True Gamers help each other. I hope you realize that you are making the world worse, not better. And markiplier, My prayers are with you (His daughter died in a car crash last year). Seriously, You aren't gamers. Gaming used to be fun, now it's hell for new gamers. And for the love of god, get rid of the usage of "Casual" like its an insult. I'm casual and proud of it, so bite my proud white ass!

Why is the Vic 20 so hard to program for?
Ranger03 replied to Ranger03's topic in Commodore 8-bit Computers
what gives you the idea that i don't like it? personally, i program on it time to time and i view it as one of the easier systems to get used to. The c64 is harder for me to program for and the plus 4 and PET are my personal favorites due to the Latter's BASIC 3.5 and the Former's Green monitor which evokes Aliens levels of nostalgia, besides there's also zork. I'm just curious as to why Commodore insisted on a ton of POKE statements for graphics. if Jack had paid 3 dollars per sale, i would have an easier time. But it is a fun little computer for what it's worth. I will buy one in the future, because i'm cool with old tech. Sorry you got the wrong idea about me -

It's really hard for me to imagine typing on a screen no bigger than Doom's HUD -
