Community-driven video game blog & discussion

why are newer generations like this?
Overcoming adversary is toxic masculinity.
the writer of that article is like 40-something
how old are you?
33
sword saint is not even most difficult boss, unless he went for shura, then it's sad
demon of hatred is a bad boss and doesn'
t belong in sekiro because you naruto run around instead of focusing on deflects, the core component of the game.
true, i hated him doing charge into jump which made me chase him for 10-15 secs and landing 0 hits
shura was easier for me than sword saint
but to each their own
because they slogged through it as "the devs intended" and think everyone else should play the game the exact same way
see;
>you didn't commit to [arbitrary restriction]?
>you did not beat the game
If they're not cheating in multiplayer lobbies, why the fuck should I care?
>>you didn't commit to [arbitrary restriction]?
'Don't cheat' is too harsh for you anon?
>arguing in bad faith
typical fromdrone
>me just wanna watch a movie pressing button makes me sad 🙁
sekiro is about skill, there is no grinding
>I beat Sekiro's final boss with cheats and I feel fine
>game hands you dozen of tools
>every single enemy and boss has one or several weaknesses
>journalists are still too stupid and lazy to beat the game
>having to justify your cheating to other people, on a public journal no less
Means he DOESN'T feel fine about it.
How are people this lacking in self-awareness?
Or, he's self aware of the stigma around using cheats in a game that emphasizes skill and just challenged that notion
I'd agree if it was some Ganker post doing it for free, that's clearly coping hard, but this dude is posting monetizable content, and signaling for hate clicks is a viable strategy. When there's money to be made dignity and self-respect take a backseat. Unquestionably got more eyes on that article than if he made one saying the contrary, and by extension more revenue.
Back in 2018, I just couldn’t beat Detlaff in Witcher 3. I’ve never struggled in that game, I’ve had the best wolf armor and did as many side quests as I could, but no matter what I did, Detlaff would just almost instantly destroy me with this one specific attack I couldn’t dodge for the life of me.
I can’t recall every other detail, but it honestly felt unfair and harmed my experience with the game since I was forced to lower the difficulty from Normal down to Easy. I can understand where the OP writer is coming from, but I’ve never played Sekiro, so I can’t comment more than that.
Sekiro is an actual good game though
>lower the difficulty from Normal down to Easy
I played it on Normal the first time and then quickly raised it up to Death March because Normal was too easy and then beat the entire game that way
Thanks for the ego boost anon
>giving a shit about what some journo did like 3 or 4 years ago
I think we know who actually won here.
Sekiro is the best souls-like game that Hidetaka has ever made. Sad he went back to his old concept because DSpussies can't play without pvp and exploits. Also no fucking casual fantomes.
Grindans without the grindan. What a good idea.
There are 7 billion people on this planet, and I dont give a shit that some trans journalist cheated at Sekiro
>people
Its saying it to you
It's him coping with himself
From Software games have always been overrated. Replaying the same shit over and over again to "master" it isn't fun. Video games are entertainment, not a skill or talent that needs to be practiced. Imagine if a book made you reread the same page multiple times or movies forced you to rewatch the same scene multiple times until you really "get" it.
No fuck off, video games should provide enough challenge to overcome but not so much that you waste hours on a single encounter.
>Imagine if a book made you reread the same page multiple times or movies forced you to rewatch the same scene multiple times until you really "get" it.
wait, people don't re-read or rewatch movies?
You missed his point.
i got a feeling that gamers nowadays have some sort of Stockholm syndrome with fromsoft games. When i played DS1 what i liked wasnt the punishing bosses or dying over and over again, it was the rest.
Then i had to watch slowly and slowly how fromsoft games felt like they had to make the game just "death games" because thats their trademark rather than just fix the gameplay loop. "How do we make the boss fights engaging, interesting and hard, but not having to force the players to die over and over and over again unless they get the patterns perfectly well"
They kinda fixed it with sekiro, at least in sekiro you have the tools to easily learn patterns and i dont remember dying immediately to one combo, i always remember always having the chance to do something
However the biggest offender is elden ring, ive never played a game before that went so hard on the "one shot" meme and "hard boss fights" meme, it reaches a point it gets ridiculous.
And it feels like people forced themselves to like dying over and over and over again instead of properly criticizing fromsoft games for being death games, instead of trying to solve the problem of how to make the games interesting and hard, but not having to rely on kill you over and over and over again.
I gave up after losing 4 times to the final boss and haven't touched the game since
What can you even "grind" in Sekiro, dipshit? All of the health and damage upgrades are limited and the damage ones require beating bosses.
>buy game
>open cheat engine
>give myself god mode/infinite/etc
>speedrun the whole thing within two hours
>refund it
>talk shit about it online
simple as
You are your father's son, and that's how you will die.
>beat
>with cheats
pick one
>that Forbes idiot crying for an easy mode
>colleague from the same media has to write a column to do damage control
