Why is it that this is the only game you can talk about on /V/ without shitposting and people calling eachother shills?
>>
>>335110456
Holy shot clicked this thread thinking to myself "this is a good question" then I see it's got no fucking replies never change /v/
And to answer your question ots because a small select group of people make the majority of the threads on this board that's why every thread damn there looks the same or repeats every other day and people assume it's just a bunch of people who all feel that way when it's not
>>
>>335110456
because it is the only game in recent years that has good gameplay.
>>
>>335110456
Because it's a really great series
>>
I'd leave /v/ as soon as possible m8. This place is a shithole with some of the biggest fags I've ever had the displeasure of talking to. I'm weening myself off currently.

I bet you are one of those faggots who think that video games are art.
>>
>>335112681
If anything, the people that value a game for being "fun" are more likely to be artfags.
The idea that the worth of something should be based on a subjective concept without need of a more objective viewpoint is shared by both funfags and artfags.
You can call fucking anything fun, just like you can call fucking anything art. It's a meaningless description.
>>
>>335113174
Maybe because video games are meaningless form of entertainment?
>>
>>335113684
Get a load of this normie casual

Fuck off, asshole. Dark Souls isn't fun. It's challenging.
>>
In the current year, most games target audience is children and casuals, certainly the ones that have high quality standards.
/v/ being mostly non children but still wanting to play games, find that dark souls is one of the first games in years to treat its players as adults and uncompromisingly sticks to a harsh, bleak world design and mechanics that punish a non-thoughtful approach (not reading/studying/strategizing, button mashing, etc).

And before you shitters come out of the woodworks about das being easy with this or that build or tactic, im talking about going into the game blind for the first time without using internet guides.
>>
>>335117045
What If you enjoy Challenge and it makes it fun??
>>
>>335117314
I shit you not my friend little Brother (10years old) tries to play Dark Souls1 and he just plain started crying because it was "too hard" and the "controls were too weird"
>>
>>335117583
My wife's son Tyrone (21) is the same way
>>
>>335118751
Dont ever talk to him again

>Dark Souls isn't fun
Why do so many people spout this across the internet? Sincerely don't get it.
>>
>>335110456
Because this board is fucking terrible.
>>
>>335110456
It's not. There's Gothic 2 and others as well.
>>
Because people have learned that the game's fanatics are rabid dogs to stay far away from.
>>
>>335119373
It's too hard and that hardness gets in the way of the fun
>>
>>335117314
>/v/ being mostly non children
Maybe if you are so young as to consider teenagers "non children".

>The game is so hard if you don't have a guide
No, not in the least. It's not even particularly hard compared to "modern games". It can only perhaps be considered hard when compared exclusively to games which have been made as easy as possible for a general audience, which despite the claims of /v/ fags everywhere, is not even the majority of contemporary game releases
>>
>>335120108
So anything that is challenging is automatically not fun? What a limited view.
>>
>>335120217
But it's too challenging for me and makes my head hurt :(
>>
>>335117045
It's neither really, the enjoyment comes from the "lore" and the art and design direction.
