ALSO YOSHI GAMES OMG ITS LITERALLY THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AND YOU CANT HIDE IT BEHIND YARN

I can't wait to play Yoshi's Rainbow Clay Adventures in 2017!!!

Dark Souls is overrated in general lol

The first game is really cool, in terms of its lore, design, etc. I just think that people made the "difficulty" aspect of it way overblown. All you need to do is learn how the controls work and learn the right timing. Once you've done that the difficulty drops immensely.

Apparently Demon's Souls is actually more difficult, but that's just what I've heard. Dark Souls II looks like absolute ass. It went from having great design to LOOK AT MY ANIME WAIFU UGUU~

It was...Okay.

I'm sure I would have enjoyed it a lot more than I did if I wasn't expecting a ton of difficulty that didn't actually exist, especially since the rumored difficulty was my main reason of buying it. That aspect of the game has been overblown entirely. I hear "maybe you just played it smarter" which to me translates as "maybe you didn't run into every encounter as though the game was made for a lobotomy patient".

The game told you where to go if you looked at the last key item you picked up. If you knew how to strafe and stab somebody in the back, 95% of encounters were laughably simple. Bosses you had to look at their 'rotations' and strike when there's an opening but really, that's the same for almost every boss monster in any game ever, it's not unique to Dark Souls and a lot of games arguably do it better as well.

Harder than a lot of other games? Yea, I guess it's harder than the average default difficulty level in games (ignoring that difficulty selection usually exists), it's certainly harder than the Assassins Creed games that also only has 1 difficulty level...But praising it for being difficult is like praising a turd because it smells better than other turds. End of the day, they're still turds.

Maybe the difficulty comes from people who are used to having their hand held through the entire game. If you didn't think it was hard, the game gives you a lot of ways to challenge yourself. No shield, no leveling up, no healing, etc.

Yeah I mean yes it's supposed to be a bit hard.. but this glorifying of its difficulty even if you have controller.. no.

Yea but with that logic, almost any game can become difficult. Mario would be more difficult if you didn't allow yourself to use certain powerups, Final Fantasy would be more difficult if you limited yourself to use only default starting gear, Monster Hunter would be difficult if I limited myself to only use store bought items, Metal Gear Solid 3 would be harder if I did no cameo and machine guns only (which I call 'Rambo mode')

I shouldn't have to handicap myself in a 'difficult game' to make the game difficult, that should be something I do on future playthroughs just for fun. A difficult game should be difficult by default no matter how I play, handicapping myself should only increase that.

Even my first run of Dark Souls where I didn't know what was coming up and what to prepare for, I didn't find it to live up to the rumors of arse kickingly hard difficulty...And this takes into account that I'm the sort of guy who runs around in outdated gear because "it looks cooler" even if it's severely going to cause problems, so I already handicapped myself.



Like, it was an okay game. The overall look of it and the enemy designs etc. are something that I would usually enjoy. When the main selling point of it is 'extreme difficulty' though and it fails to live up to that, it can easily sour the rest of the game for me.

 

[Cardbored]

That's a very good point, saying you can handicap yourself in any game. Now that I look back on my first playthrough there's only a few bits that were actually hard (O&S, Four Kings). It's weird when it comes to Dark Souls though. I don't think it's a game you should only play once, considering how much it has to offer. There's really no one way to play the game. So many weapons and gear and builds to go through, plus the number of ways you can progress through the map. There's always NG+ as well. IMO it's attraction should be replayability, not difficulty.

remember Dino Crisis 3? no? well I might be one of the really few people who actually enjoyed the game (or maybe the only one).
I liked the idea of fighting mutated dinosaurs in space, and I liked the gigantic ship and the things you could do with it~
sadly this game didn't sell because of the poor fixed camera angles and because they used new characters instead of Regina, in fact , of all the comments I read about it there was probably one one positive comment which is weird because the game is really not half bad

HAHAHAHAHA. I literally laughed out loud.

I actually like the Hyperdimension Neptunia games (after the first one) that seems like a pretty unpopular opinion around here = w = Then again I like JRPGs similar to that eg. Atelier series, Eternal Sonata, etc

 

[kassie]

I have yet to find a JRPG that I enjoy and doubt I ever will so it's safe to say I dislike JRPGs. A lot.

Neptunia is life. I like.. well those I have played which is ReBirth 1, Noire and Neptunia U(those two are the japanese I played.

I hate competitive/strategic gaming in smash bros, but ESPECIALLY pokemon.

I'm a massive LOZ fan but I find ocarina of time to be really reaaally boring

 

[Alienfish]

OoT is..good but way too much future for a N64 console

 

[Stalfos]

The water temple in OoT is the bestest zelda-dungeon EVER! <3

I hate Ocarina of time, (Pls don't kill me ;-

The water temple isn't as bad as people made it out to be (in most games to be honest). They're usually just a bit tedious rather than actually difficult. Certainly wasn't as bad as people say.

I hate Ocarina of time, (Pls don't kill me ;-

I played it as a kid up till like, the second adult dungeon. I didn't really get into it and thought it was a pretty 'meh' game. I borrowed it from a friend so when he asked for it back, I pretty much just threw it at him and said "take it" with no intention of finishing it.

I did my first full playthrough of it when OoT3D came out to give it another chance.
It was...Alright I guess. I still can't see what all the commotion is about.

 

[ecclesi-uh]

I can't stand first-person shooters. My least favorite game franchise has to be Halo (though the books/movie were alright).

 

[pippy1994]

I started losing interest in Pok?mon after the first gen.

 

[infinikitten]

I don't mind escort missions! But give me a timed task or a RACE and I'm out. Timers are stressful and I just don't care for racing.

My dad hates the gameplay and 3 day cycle of majoras mask.

I have to agree with him on this one.
