Videogame designers and their fans seem more willing to say "ok, is this feature fun for the players? Nope? Then how can we change it so that it is fun"Like I mentioned earlier, Halo:Combat Evolved BECAME one of the most successful entertainment franchises ever by chucking the accepted feature of previous First Person Shooters when they went with the regenerative shields.And yeah, even the videogame movement has a retro movement Megaman 9 is the newest entry in a much loved videogame series that started in 1987. Capcom purposely designed this game to the aesthetics that the fans associate with older games. Capcom even marketed it as an old-school game"Please have fun playing <a href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MegaMan" target="_blank">Mega Man</a> 9, and when you inevitably ponder why this game is so freaking hard, please remember that Inafune-san has a decanter on his desk full of broken gamer spirits that keeps him perpetually youthful."  — Press release for <a href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Retraux" target="_blank">Mega Man 9</a>EDIT: The 4e PHB DOES ask the players to think about their character and their history.
