GOT EM

I didn’t say any slander towards talking about Fromsoftware, I’m talking about it’s influence on games as well as the pretentious “git gud” mindset from the fanbase

And what does cinematic games or studio closures have to do with what I said

because influence is there too. Fanbases are there to. I think fanbases wanting games that treat them with some level of intelligence exist either way . People like games taking time to learn and get better at

The git gud thing is funny cause while it comes off as troll-y and condescending it really is the only answer in most cases with those games

Just keep trying and eventually it just clicks

"the get good" or "keep trying" until you find a way has always existed in gaming. There have always been ebs and flows between them and "I just want to win and play" which has exsisted since like Mortal Kombat and even earlier. games used to be a lot harder until they wanted more money to be more accssible to lowest common denominator. Also souls fanbase helps each other beat bossses and cheese things.

so I am confused by that opinion.

vice City trash

We need Samurai Warriors 2 back

atp a hot take wud b u sayin a maligned game u actually like

Actually, while we're on that, Kane and Lynch 2 is not that bad

and about GOW 2018, I truly went into it with misaligned hype. The good s\*\*\* I heard was from the OG trilogy

Powerful

you are right on both

we need more games like kane and lynch and army of two if they kept iterating on great coop

The original Kingdom Hearts is ass to actually play

I think a lot of people feel this way lol it's the characters/story people love KH1 for. The combat and level design are ass for the most part.

Keep considering marathoning them for iv

I’m trying to play the first one and I keep having to look up guides it is so unclear what to do. Idk how they expected a kid to ever play this s***.

all them old games have terrible level design
me beating jedi outcast 3 years ago without a guide would have been f***ing impossible

I respect it was people's childhoods though

My hottest take is the best final fantasy games are the ones with basic graphics

S*** I think Octopath traveler games deisgn wise are probably better than most final fantasy but they dont get the shine because no ultra graphics

Yeah the nostalgia people have stops those discussions from occuring

Shadow of the colossus even 22 years later has better boss battles than most of these games on exponentially better hardware on exponentially higher budgets. At a certain point some of the lack of game design advancements feels like money laundering and complacency with not challenging what people know.

its part of why I am hyped for Gen Atlas. Why I will always give Kojjima games a chance. Games being made in the west with extremely high wages and cost of living leads to a lot of mediocrity. Then the mediocrity is applauded by western owned awards because its tough to admit "damn those non whites are whooping our ass when it comes to game design and value". But realistically the future desgin of gaming isnt coming from America especially not California.

U don't need a guide

S*** so easy a 10 year old can beat it

To be fair to 10-18 year olds we had more time to game and see patterns of games. There was no scrolling. We used our brains daily to a much larger degree than we do now. Now its just like, retweet, and a lot of people dont engage in true discussion. People dont fully nerd out. Gaming wise even games have made design often easier.

I see it and I dont either way its close
