Bro whatcookie had like the exact same experiences I had at that time! Never owned a PS3 until the lock down cause I wanted to play demon’s souls, cause I have a been a souls fan since dark souls prepare to die on PC! Also the PS3 I bought was the slim, just like yours. And until now, I didn’t think any of my systems could handle the emulation of it and your telling me my steam deck can‽ I mean, it’s kind of a moot point as I already have an actual PS3 that’s been letterbombed and multiman’d. But knowing I can take grand Turismo 6 on the go with me if pretty fucking dope!
Well, the movie would be playable on any device. I have an Xbox, and my computers are Macs, so I have fewer options for running games, but anything can play video.
The other consideration is that most people aren’t going to pay to watch the video. They’ll watch it on YouTube with ads but they’re not gonna pay game money to watch it played.
When I was talking about this with a friend, we discussed how let’s play videos could serve as a substitute for playing the game if you just want the story. But of course this has it’s own problems. The pacing may still be bad, the video maker’s commentary might be distracting, and if you decide to go this route before even purchasing the game, the dev isn’t even financially rewarded for the work they did at least creating a story you liked.
Just mentioning this because you might not be aware of it, but there’s “no commentary” players, actually. They just play the game and never speak, so you get to watch the gameplay, the story, etc. without someone interjecting their thoughts. One channel that plays quite a lot of games is MKIceAndFire. They sometimes upload alternative endings/choices, and “story cuts” where a story-rich game is stripped from most of the gameplay so you can watch the story.
And I think the devs still get compensation, because these let’s plays are basically free advertising. I’ve bought games after watching a few episodes of a game I wasn’t sure of, which would have given me a lot of pause with the 2-hour limit to refund on Steam.
MKIceandFire is probably one of the best no commentary Let’s Players on all of YouTube. It’s just gameplay and no bullshit. And they edit out any grinding and unnecessary side stuff; like their playthrough of Spider-Man 2, they would regularly edit around breaks and collecting things to just show you more of the story. And they have different ways to watch, from one long video of the entire story, to breaking it up into multiple 15 minute+ videos in their own playlists.
Agreed. I regretfully left out a lot of it when mentioning MK.
They also leave any readable lore open long enough to give you time to pause the video and read it at your own pace. And they’re very throughout about exploring, looting, etc but as you say, they edit out anything boring like grinding. So you get a very smooth gameplay video that is worth watching, and hardly frustrating. I’ve used their videos to find collectables in some games, too.
Fuck yeah! I don’t think I ever will. I’m down hundreds hours in of just fucking around and exploring and I keep hitting walls in the expansion. There’s a crazy tree bitch I can’t kill at the bottom of somewhere even with expert help. Aaaaaaaaa
Get more scadutree fragments to increase your DPS and look into weapon arts that drop a DOT blob on the field (e.g. a magma puddle) since those are meant to hurt enemies that walk past and do ridiculous damage on the biggies what barely move.
And if your build supports if (or you want to go hang out with mommy), Great Stars is RIDICULOUSLY good for the DLC due to healing per hit. And the Prayerful Strike weapon art is more or less cheating in the DLC because of a mix of strong healing and holy being one of the few elements DLC bosses tend to at least not be strong against.
I want to say that is one of the last bosses of the DLC “narratively”?
But yeah. From love stuff like that. Gargoyles and Maneater in Dark 1 and Demon. The gargoyle gauntlet in Dark 2. The idea being that it is meant to pressure you but is really just a thinly veiled DPS gate.
I forget if the tree fuckers are one at a time or if they can Four Kings to overwhelm you, but the idea is that you are going to take damage but that is what your estus is for. The idea being that you can spike DPS to minimize the damage you take per health bar. And then you cry when you realize you decided to do that on NG+ where you can no longer rush them.
