Elden is fair if you grind, explore and prepare for the enemies. Other games are basically “rhythm games” in disguise, you have to memorize the exact series of moves, in the exact order, with the right timing.
Didn’t play DS yet honestly, but if you can use the terrain, change builds and choose between close combat or ranger/magic weapon, then you have enough elasticity.
My friends were encouraging me to play Dark Souls. I told them I’m not interested since it’s hard and I no longer have time to persevere, now that I am an adult with little to no time. One of my friends commented that I’m just scared to play Dark Souls. To which I responded I’ve played harder games. Said friend never had video game consoles when we were kids, and missed out on the suffering of playing 90s and 00s games.
I forget which platform it was, but one version of that TMNT game was literally impossible because someone fucked up the distance of a jump in one of the sewer levels, making it an impossible jump to make.
I had it on PC as a kid and it was hard enough just reading the codes out of the booklet using that piece of red cellophane to get the fucker to start up lol
I think so. On the working versions you can just walk across but on the broken one it’s too far to do that and jumping makes you hit the ceiling and also not make it. Though it’s been a while since I’ve both played it or seen the little videos pointing out the error on one of the versions.
R.C. PRO-AM brought it to a new level. It was really difficult, but super rewarding to progress to new phases of the later levels. They kept introducing new elements as you progressed. That was so much fun.
Nice screenshot! I really need to play this series! No particular reason I haven’t
I play games opposite of the way you do lol. I prefer action. I enjoy challenging platforming and combat, but I find myself zoning out during long cutscenes
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to challenge yourself in a game or play with/against others. There are many reasons we all play. Personally, I’m a huge film buff and love that modern games have started bridging that gap between gameplay and cinematic storytelling. It’s like I can enjoy a 30+ hour film AND interact with it as well!
I used to prefer to just play games solo. There are so many strangers in online games that can be toxic and it’s not fun trying to accomplish a goal when no one’s listening and everyone’s doing their own thing. But I have a childhood friend who won’t play games unless he’s playing co-op with friends, and through him (and a few other close friends), I’ve learned to enjoy co-op games as well.
Plus, one of my other friends is one of those “do-their-own-thing” kind of gamers and we’re constantly trying to get him back on mission. So I’ve learned patience for difficult gamers too. 😉
That’s the best part about games. Everyone gets to enjoy them in their own way. I seem to go through phases of wanting to play alone and wanting the company of others. I haven’t even been able to play games for the past week or so. I’m not gonna force myself though, doesn’t do any good
This was certainly the hardest part of the game due to the controls, but it still pales in comparison to actually difficult games of the era that were designed to take quarters first, provide gameplay later
