>i hate complex games

What's the problem? Too difficult for your small brain?
>>
I dont really care to count stats or learn complex systems when I can just bust my figurative nut playing something simple and intense like Doom then go about my day.

Besides, there are more than enough wads that are particularly challenging, plus I always play on Ultraviolence.

name a "complex" game.

I'm yet to find one, excluding the autistic ones like grand strategy games.

You're just calling complex games autistic.

How does that invalidate their complexity?
>>
>>337794621
nah, I don't need great graphics to enjoy a game.

I do need it to not give me cancer every time I look at it though. I'm happy to play anything psx and onwards.

Frozen Synapse

>>337794656
No, I'm calling autistic games autistic. They try way too hard to be complex and its more like a chore than any fun. If I was to spend that much time learning something it wouldn't be about a video game.

people play video games as a way to kill time, above all else. Not to pretend its making them smarter.
>>
>>337794710
Frozen Synapse is mechanically simple, but actually gitting gud is a struggle.

I used to think it was all complex but really you just have to read the instructions...
>>
>>337794795
You hating complexity does not make the games less complex.
>>
>>337794696
Have you tried tilesets then?
They change binary graphics to tiles which makes it a lot better

'complex games' aren't necessarily a good thing.

I'd rather take a game with simple rules that interact well and lead to dynamic and emergent game play than a game with a bunch of rules that don't really interact in meaningful ways or are degenerate in the sense that certain rules overshadow others to the point where they might as well not exist.
>>
>>337794859

Let me give you an example of a game I would consider complex, but not autistic, so that this is more clear.

I would consider Street Fighter 4 to be complex. However, you don't need a 10-15 hour tutorial on street fighter 4 before you can have fun, therefore street fighter 4 is not autistic.

Grand strategies are 99% of the time autistic and you cant even have fun until you know literally everything about the game.

its over-complex to the point of barely being a game.

you must be british or baiting.

>10-15 hour tutorial
Hyperbole in all honor, but if you spend more than an hour learning the basics you're probably just stupid.
>literally implying learning is not fun
Are you a nigger?

Street Fighter 4 is not a complex game, but your opponents are.

You think learning is fun if you're learning about something that will never help you in real life?

to each their own I guess.

I love learning about lots of things, just not video games.
>>
>>337795425
I learn lots of things that will never help me in real life. And I have fun doing it.

Why would anyone even play street fighter so much that you're on a level where it's considered complex? That shit won't help you in real life.

I had a friend who hated Nioh because it was too complicated
He said the stances and skills were just too much and when he ran out of stamina he would sit there and breathe heavily and get hit by an enemy

>>
>>337794145
Complex games are for people who want to spend tons of time playing games.
You are your experiences and decisions and by playing games a lot you become a certain type of person.

Instead of learning complex game systems people prefer to learn other complex things that would benefit them much more then a higher score in some game.

I wouldnt mind admitting DW is good if it was at all balanced.
Fact is its dev is a retard who could have released the source code allowing the community to make a better game out of it.

Its a question of measure and balance.
Playing a bit will allow one to still function properly and pursue goals. Playing a shit ton will not.

>>337801124
So what you're actually saying is that someone that enjoys and plays DF or grand strategy games in general can not function in society?
>>
>>337794145
I don't have a good memory and I don't think quickly when trying to remember things so generally speaking complex games are a chore and often impossible for me to compete in

On the other hand I often shank people in simpler things so there you go

Is gagging when I try to speak after repeating hiragana to myself for six hours a good excuse to take a break?

>>337801293
My memory is utter shit and I love complex games.
As long as the mechanics are fun I'll generally remember them, but shit like story and such will be forgotten in no time.

Pretty fun being able to replay your favorite games as if they're almost new though.
