I just don't get it /v/. Someone
What exactly is the fun in these games? I've tried so hard to get into them becasue /v/ and everyone else loves them but I just can't.
I don't understand what the appeal is. The only thing that seems to resonate with people is the fact that it's a game that doesn't appeal to the casual audience due to it's difficulty. Like "hey look at us, we're the real gamers."
Really though, it's not even difficult. To me, these games are simple trial and error. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. That's how I play them, and yeah, the more you play you're obviously going to "git gud" but that's true with just about any video game.
If you invest the time in it, eventually you'll master it and beat it. That's not fun, that's just logical to expect in any video game ever. You could say the same about fucking Mario where the "git gud" philosophy can also apply. So in that respect, there's no real fun there. Just trial and error grind fest bullshit.
First off, I own a Playstation 3 and have supported Sony for over 10 years. I really do like the ps3.
The Demon Souls/Dark Souls games have one purpose: to try and piss you off.
Its not innovative or creative or original. All games hold people's hands these days. That is a flaw on the industry, not something Dark Souls should get credit for.
I've beaten 4 bosses in Dark Souls already and stopped playing a couple months ago. I've died less than 5 times w/o any guides. So obviously, I haven't suffered like everybody else did. I stopped playing because I could tell what direction the game FORCES players into: you will die so you learn how to play.
It is a trial by error game, and when you die, and die you will, you will have 100% of the monsters respawned. Hell, even when you save the game, all monsters get respawned. This is just hilariously lazy and bad design. My sister and brother-in-law played for a couple minutes and when they died and everything they just killed respawned, they said..."eh.......you can have the controller back....this is lame."
Dark Souls is a JRPG, like Final Fantasy, which has random encounters every 5 footsteps you walk. I'm fine with this. The reason why I'm not a hypocrite and not okay with Dark Souls having instant respawns, is because Final fantasy is designed for you to face random encounters all the time, which everybody is okay with, and you usually one shot monsters in a 20 second battle.
I will never support a bad game like this, ever. I'm a borderline professional player and when I pick up games, I "get it" immediately a lot of the time. Not with this one. Dieing shouldn't be mandatory. A game needs real checkpoints, not "waste another 2 hours killing the pointless monsters fool."

WE'RE ALL GONNA MAKE IT!
Nothing for you, console goys.
>>333693216
Its possible to inform people of good news without adding console war shitposting at the end anon.
>>333693331
It's impossible!
>>333693331
But there's no good news for them though.
Is this the single most bullshit fucking thing about this game?
>bosses that have 2 different magic attacks
>one is on their radius
>other is on your radius
>literally impossible to dodge or block
>huge radius
>others have a magic projectile attack, ie LITERALLY 100% YOU TAKE HUGE DAMAGE
what the fuck were they thinking?
Have you tried rolling?
Get good and don't lock onto bosses.
typical /vg/ gamers lol
Between Naoto and HOSol, how come ASW are so good at making copies of their MCs play so differently? It seems like other fighting games just try and keep them as close to the original as possible, but those two just play entirely different from their counterparts.
Naoto's a clone?
>>333693716
No, but he's basically the Ragna counterpart in the Bloodedge Experience novels which he originates from. It's even stated in the BBCF story that his and Ragna's existance clash.
>>333693871
so he's not a clone?

How do I game a game for SJW and make the big bucks? I am willing to lose my dignity, self pride and rights to make some money.
What story should I put to appeal the SJW demographic?
>>333692745
pls respond.
>>333692745
Just put a quirky gay couple. Tumblrtale did it with a fat nerdy dinosaur and a fish version of dragonslayer ornstein
>>333693093
What should I do with the quirky gay couple story wise? Them being oppressed by straight white males?
Is 'hitman: absolution' any good or is it the pile of shit I expect it will be?
It was only 7 bucks either way
It's a good shooter, not a very good Hitman game.
>>333692523
I don't know that I'd call it a good shooter, but it is a good stealth game.
We are in agreement that it's not a good Hitman game, though it has its moments.
It's garbage.
The majority of the levels are get-from-A-to-B missions that are blatantly just filler.
It's probably worth $7 though if you're a fan of the franchise
Think about all the dead anons that died between Dar Souls 2 and 3. They never get to play it.
STAY SAFE.
Yeah anon...

She seduced Alva in order to make him stray from his purpose but ended up falling for his 12 inch knight dong anyway.
Dirt Rally, the best modern rally game.
>>333691928
or maybe you should just stop falling off the track
It really is a great game
>>333692412
dirt 3 was a great game as well, i don't know why it took them so long to make something similar
How true is this list?Because I'm really starving for games like them right now. Preferably the isometric ones.
>>333691836

rest is okay i guess

No

Could you elaborate? I grabbed the first one recently, and I've been thinking of getting that too.
Hey /v/, what's your favorite pokemon?
>>333691808
The last time I played Pokemon was about 10 years ago.
It's washed up and boring. Let go already, you dumb faggot.
The Queen, of course.

Ampharos is god-tier and is mega evolution gives him some ultra fabulous locks.
What MGS game is best and why is it MGS2?
>>333691450
>why is it MGS2?
MGS2 was not great.
Raiden was a shit character (I accepted the fact that he was no snake but holy fuck he was a piece of shit)
Big Shell was a horrible place to navigate
All the bosses sucked (whether it be lame like Fatman, cheap like Vamp or the RAYs, or shitty gimmick like Solidus)
Arsenal Gear makes no god damn sense, saw videos years later, still makes no sense
Rose was unbearable
Big Shell was symmetrical and shitty
The bosses were lame as fuck
>>333691450
5 is easily the best.
How come this game didn't feel as fun as its predecessors?
switching between toons was a chore
Probably because it was way more fun.
>>333691382
Because you have shit taste.
