What would you guys say is your biggest gripe with most modern games?
For me, it's absolutely the hand-holding. There are so few games out nowadays that don't keep you on a linear path with a shit ton of hints or straight up directions to what you're supposed to do next and how to do it.
I miss being challenged and trying to figure shit out on my own in video games
>>336217754
Everything. Just everything.
Who /got-too-gud/ here?
I died more in Ratchet and Clank than Dark Souls 3 because I've played all the others so much (level 1 runs and shit) that I know all of Fromsofts tricks and really the only have a few templates of bosses that get slightly changed and re-skinned with each new game.
I still died, but never more than 2-3 times an area, while I underestimated Ratchet and Clank (I did play on hard) and died around the same frequency as Dark Souls.
While it's good not being super frustrated, you also don't get the highs of beating something that seemed impossible.
>>336218334
Youre right. Sometimes I wish I could play Dark Souls again from zero knowledge.
Haha its like i went back in time to 2012 when dark souls culture was still a thing and not an ancient meme
>>336218334
>beat each Souls game exactly once
>new Souls games will always be challenging because I'm still kind of scrubby when I start out again every time
Sure I miss out on half the world building and so on, but whatever, I don't mind.
>He claims that modern AAA games are too dumbed down for him
>doesn't play DCS World
Explain yourselves
Games like Dragon Age: Inquisition are the epitome of why I don't like a lot of modern games. There's a ton of shit to do but none of it is any fun. It's all a bunch of soulless, tedious grinding and fetch quests.

This pretty much. There's one game in development that I've been looking forward to buy I'm starting to lose hope it will ever happen.
Might as well as stop playing altogether

I beat Dancer at lvl 20 with a +1 weapon yesterday... on my second try. Parried Gundyr to death with my naked fists right before. Unless the gameplay changes drastically in a new installation, I'm gonna have a hard time finding new content challenging. But that's okay. The games aren't balanced for guys like me.
>>336218334
I know how you feel. I played too much, and FromSoft really don't change things frequently enough for the games to remain difficult or even challenging. I've been playing since DeS, which I played so much of that DaS felt easy. Bloodborne wasn't difficult because they keep the same formula. PvP is always the same, too. It's always shit.

Isn't that the guy that made Undertail? Isn't his whole philosophy basically ''who's a special boy ur a special boy"?
I don't have any gripes with modern games I guess. I just try to enjoy what I can these days.
>>336218334
Shit now that I think of it I'm the same.
The only times I died a lot was High Lord Wolnir cause I got greedy every time and the poison killed me and Pontiff. Everything else I didn't die more than 2 times to it, and in most areas I didn't even die once.
>>336219593
Yes dark souls was released in 2011 and 2012 was the year everyone played it. It's been 5 years let it go already
>>336220254
No he's the cuckold who wrote Borderlands 2.
>>336220190
Here's ur (u).
>>336220254
no it's the poor guy who actually is anthony burch
>>336217754
This motherfucker makes games that essentially are the hand holding shit he just mocked.
Also
>Dark Souls and Souls games in general are only known for their difficulty.
Why the fuck is it the normies took this one fucking aspect of it away from it and nothing else, and ran with it.
Dont get me wrong, these are hard games, but not in the sense of "hur its made hard to be hard" but in the sense of "you fucked up on your own"
Thats why 2 was a shitter, and 3 is too, still great games, but can you say they are better then Dark Souls?
Demons Souls, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne are amazing games, fantastic, and what makes them amazing is the fact each one is different then the last.
World building, characters, events, sorta different systems "Demons and Dark have similar and not, Hollowing vs beating entire boards"
I hate how they alienate their original fanbase to pander to a crowd that doesnt play said games.
Mirrors edge for example.
Am I Anthony Burch yet?
>>336221143
I don't think that's the case with Mirror's Edge - what I've seen so far only shows that instead of working on a real story and levels they decided to fill it with a bunch of "fake progress" like skill trees and such, I don't think it has to do with casualization. Do you have to press less buttons to do shit on it now?

a big house centipede just scurried along the wall of my room past my bed
i vacuumed it up but i don't feel same anymore and can't go to sleepi know i should have smashed it but it was a big one and i didn't have the courage after what happened last time
Watashi wa Anthony Burch desu
>>336220321
Is just funny you think it's dark souls culture and not any of the predecessors
>>336221437
Yes it is being dumbed down and there is no need for a skill tree.
>>336217754
I don't like how dumbed down they are, and how they ALL need first person shooter mechanics shoe-horned into them. Leave the fps stuff to the fps games, please.
>>336221143
Tomb Raider is another example.
>hurr we need to make Lara less problematic
>hey let's do that by making her into a fridge
>oh wait we also need the cod audience
>let's take out the tombs and put in the gunfights
>>336221735
Whats funny is most womyn gamers didn't even play that game. I'm glad to see when alienation blows up in devs faces
>you will never be Anthony Burch
>>336217754
This shit and the atrocious loot is what ruined witcher 3 for me. I can't fucking get immersed in a game where are a billion arrows saying "go here you idiot". And before anyone says you can turn them off, that still doesn't fix anything because the quests aren't written well enough to tell you where you should go so you're helpless without the minimap marker. And there's also the number 1 problem with this game which is the fact 90% of quests revolve around you following red stains with the witcher's sense, so the handholding is embedded within it and there's no getting around it.
>>336217754
what are some good games that cuckold the player??
>>336218334
play sorcerer than. You will regret saying everything. No vigor, no endurance, no damage.
Fuck this game
>>336221998
Your love life.
>>336217754
>m-muh dork souls
pathetic, there is no penalty for dying, it absolutely is not a hard game, all you need to do is to remember the movement patterns and there you go. In all honesty the only really difficult games are the ones that are pvp multiplayer
>What would you guys say is your biggest gripe with most modern games?
I suppose adding unnecessary elements to games just for the sake of having more stuff, like every other game having rpg elements, which are way too shallow to be fun and are just a bore
>>336221827
>you will never be Anthony Burch
>>336221998
The Wii U
>>336218334
Have you considered that this is the point where you play a different franchise/series ? You don't have to keep getting back to your first girlfriend you know.
>>336222108

mfw. Feels good anon
>>336222067
>that rabbit on the left
>"you sure this is a good idea Jim?"
>>336221825
I'm literally waiting for the series to start selling like shit again, so that the devs will bring back Lara's chest and curves for fan service, they need the money so bad. Also the tombs too.
>>336218334
Not me! I've played DaS over 30 times on varying builds and played all the other ones several as well but I'm still pretty awful!;_;
>>336217754
>burch is less of a cuck faggot
What happened?
>>336217754
>all rpgs now pander to the lowest common denominator
I miss when RPGs didn't act and treat me like I was a complete retard.
>>336220190
>>336220521
Why did I laugh so hard at this exchange?
>>336222582
I miss when games in general didn't act and treat me like I was a complete retard. But nope, some tards with money want to play vidya, so we all got to stoop to their level.
>>336217754
>not being Anthony Burch
Goddamn, my day just got brighter.
>>336217754
I'm always glad I have at least 2 reason to live.
>yfw your not Anthony Burch or Jake Rapp
>>336218334
>play demonsouls to death (mostly farming)
>darksouls even more but only about five or six actual playthroughs because the game becomes EZ after smough and orn
>can parry everything, ok at pvp , talked about what I thought was lore with /v/ and /vg/ and discussed it with real life friends after Vati copypasted threads into videos
>dark souls 2, fly through the game until smelter and proceed to be dissapointed as the following boss fights are easy as well.
>pvp is ok but im still sad
>lore is so jumbled im not sure if the giants are the descendants of those who left anal rodeo or a whole new species who took the title.
I kind of took a step back and realized I had just lost interest after that because it was making me extremely butthurt.
>>336222582
Remember sliding block puzzles? Peperidge Farm remembers.
>wake up
>realize I'm not Anthony Burch
What a day to be alive
Post thine face whilst you are not A. Burch.
I would say it's the barely scrape by standards of design and interaction.
Half life 2 was a linear game with loads of detail into everything where as most games now are linear games with barely any detail other than what's on the main path.
Even free roam games lack any substance beyond the main streets. Compare ps2 era open world games to ps3 era open world games.
