Some people do not understand why others would not enjoy things like bloodborne and nioh when they are some of the most inaccessible niche games that exist. Recommending those sorts of games to everyone expecting they will enjoy them is foolish. Even more foolish are statements like "oh you must not like video games there are so many great games they are called nioh bloodborne dark souls what is wrong with you if you don't like them!!!!!"

Alright mini-post mortem on my PS4 purchase:

Mixed. Game library remains massively unfulfilling.

Horizon is a legit marquee title. It's pretty, has a good narrative and original gameplay. No regrets on this one. The sound design alone keeps you hunting machines.

Nier....What the hell is this game. I hate it but I keep coming back to it. So many weird, anachronistic elements. Dumb anime poo poo all over. Wasn't worth the price but I keep playing. Befuddling but fun, aggravating but addictive

Bloodborne: I knew I wouldn't like it, grabbed it anyway for cheap. gently caress this ugly, lovely game. Seriously do not get people's obsession with Dark Souls and Bloodborne. Tremendously unenjoyable

Shadows of Mordor: I had remembered this game being better than it is. Also another cheap grab. It's alright.

Uncharted 4: quite a semi-interactive cinematic achievement.

Going to grab Rachet & Clank next. Wish there was more to the library than this. Have a feeling I'll be using the 4 as a media server even more than I did for the PS3. I'm pretty sure I had like 18 games for PS3.

The hardware and design is pretty fresh. Controller is great and the standby system that loads an 'off' console directly into a loaded game is dope.

And... Knack?

For a linear game I thought it was surprisingly not on rails, there were those few open-ish vehicle sections and most of the combat encounters were fairly open ended too in layout and stealth or combat options

Same. There is so much gameplay footage from E3 2011 it's sad that a publisher would just drop a game that's so far along with development. It's definitely a common thing in the industry, but still, drat.

Nah, rumors were that what was shown at that E3 was literally all they had for the game. It was a rickety clockwork mechanism that could be "played" but only if you followed their script. Which, to be fair, isn't really out of the ordinary for early E3 demos.

Yes, in the games industry AAA means that the budget was over a certain amount.

Fwiw it's very common on the internet for people to come into a thread like "wow souls sucks what garbage rear end stupid games series only a moron could like" and then act shocked when people who like them react negatively and then they go "this is why I hate Souls fans! They can't accept that people don't like souls!"

Not that the poster in question went quite that far, but many have, and it's not that shocking that someone will get poo poo on when they call a well loved game garbage because they spent 15 minutes playing it and didn't like it. He's called it trash like 5 times and he has no idea what he's talking about, is everyone just supposed to be like "yeah man you are totally right"?

Excuse me it was 30 minutes

I get why people like it, it's a highly technical and challenging game that rewards practice, repetition and tactical play. I'd love a game like that that wasn't wrapped in an awful aesthetic or had a genuine, compelling narrative.

e: like I said I don't particularly care if you agree or disagree. I'm merely stating my opinion, not asking for validation.

I personally think it's fine for someone to dislike something I like. Bloodborne is one of my favorite games of all time, but it isn't for everyone. I love the aesthetic which is disgusting as they said, but intentionally so. If it's not their thing, it's not a personal attack against me and I'm not going to jump on them over a difference of opinion.

Nier is cool y'all. It's really chill and the combat is satisfying. I like riding the animals and ramming things.

Sorry, guy.
Nioh is another sweet game but it's got that Souls feel... but it isn't "ugly, lovely" or have "bad sound".

So depending on what you actually disliked about Bloodborne beyond the aesthetic, maybe look into that?


Also maybe consider Gamefly or Redbox and save yourself some heartache if you have really strict preferences...

Destiny is real good but going to die in September when the sequel hits. Definitely the most fun I've had in a game with goons since CoD4 on the 360. People don't like that a bunch of the story is buried in a grimoire accessible via Bungie.net or a phone app because they'd rather read text files on their TV I guess. But it's a fun loot shooter and probably the most mechanically sound fps on a console.

At this point I just sort of wish they'd release a standalone multiplayer because there isn't a more fun FPS as far as the multiplayer shooting and gameplay goes but everything relating to single player content was trash trash trash and you basically had to do it at least once. Basically I just want Battlefield Destiny.

Destiny was one of the reasons I got a PS4 but then I never actually bought it. Something about it is very hard to figure out to me. A lot of it looks really great but then there seems to be so much awful poo poo that would drag it down for me, like many of the worst parts of an MMO.
