What still gives me PTSD is Shadow Of The Beast 2. I was utterly clueless on how to beat that game as a child, and as an adult I can literally watch someone beat it, know what to do, and still fuck it up.
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
