I really wish I could have infinite lives in Mega Man 11 because lives is a stupid archaic video game system that should go away forever, but the only way to do that is to play it on the super easy mode. The big problem with super easy mode is that if you fall in a pit you don't die at all or even get hurt, you get rescued by a bird robot. I want the infinite lives of the super easy mode but without the rest of the easy mode stuff. I'm perfectly fine with beating my head against the same boss over and over (the acid guy who is hard as gently caress) but doing that and losing all my lives and having to do the ENTIRE stage over is the worst.

If you play the second easy mode you start with a bunch and they're cheap enough you can max out to 9 whenever you want.

Is it fun as well? its difficulty gets over inflated by the fanbase; it's kinda rough going early on when you're still figuring things out but if you're the kind of person who enjoys overcoming challenges it's loads of fun. there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of finally beating a boss you've been running your head into for an hour

It’s not too bad once you get the mechanics down and start to learn what to expect from the game. It’s very fun, there’s a reason why people have been constantly talking about it since its original release 7 years ago.

The difficulty is greatly overstated and mostly comes from treating it like other action RPGs - that is, running and button-mashing. You're supposed to take things slower, pay attention to things like enemy attack animations and environmental cues (there is no trap or ambush you can't spot before it happens). If you enjoy that sort of gameplay then it's amazing and really stands out as one-of-a-kind.

I know it’s obviously not as good as on PC/PS4/X1 but I haven’t heard it being worse than on 360 and PS3.

Snowmankilla posted:So I have never played Dark Souls, but I have heard it is stupid hard. Is it fun as well? Every Dark Souls game will have a part where you're going up a staircase and some rear end in a top hat rolls a flaming boulder down the top of it, there's lots of "gently caress you" moments like that where you're going to get owned the first time without adequate warning. Other players can even invade your world and disguise themselves as a statue, then pop off a crossbow shot to snipe you off a narrow bridge you're walking across. If you have a sense of humor about stuff like that (like me) then you'll love it, but if the thought of being griefed by the developers and other players sends you into a rage then you're gonna give up and refuse to touch it again (like my brother). Anyway, I've beaten every game in the Souls series, except Demon's Souls that I'm nearly through now. It's the first series I've played in a long-rear end time where completing the game feels like a real accomplishment. The art and set pieces are spectacular too. The games aren't super-duper hard but in my opinion they all have a boss or two that are seriously hard enough to make you want to quit. Oh, there's a steep learning curve at first, I was like "wow these are the worst controls ever and everything animates clunky" for the first couple hours but I stuck with it and learned the controls are actually good and the fighting has a lot of weight and timing to it that makes tank-and-spank swordfighting really fun.

If you think that's bad, you should see Overwatch, totally ripped off Paladins.

If you rush in blindly then you will surely come across a lot of those "bullshit" moments but they're entirely your own fault (and that's great!)

No idea if you can rebind your keys in the Switch version but I know at least in the PC version of the Remaster you could, which is great because having run and jump be the same button was legitimately Really Bad Design (the rest of the Souls games got it right)

Dark Souls is the series I have probably the most hours logged in; over 400 on the Steam version of Dark Souls 1 alone. I own Dark Souls II and III on *literally* every platform they've been released on. All told I've got probably over 2000 hours in the series. I adore the games, and I jumped on the Switch port of DS1 as soon as I heard about it. The games are hard, but almost always fair. However, they're subtle and often require you to approach things much more methodically than you might think at first glance. If you're a totally new player, there's absolutely nothing wrong with making a character with 40 points in each of STR/STAM/END/VIT and using a sword and shield. In fact, that's an excellent way to learn how the game expects you to play. (oh, buy a bow and use it to pull enemies one at a time) Then, once you learn the mechanics, you can do New Game Plus, or just a new character, and do insane challenge runs like beating the game at level 1 with no armor and never getting hit, or using a banana or DDR pad as a controller.

That's like saying you should be able to beat Contra on your first try if you just pay attention. No, there's definitely parts in Souls that are time-sensitive or otherwise specifically designed around memorizing them and learning through failure, best examples being boss fights, or times when you drop down a pit and start getting chased down, or cornered by multiple monsters and buttfucked. There's a reason they have "Prepare to Die" as their famous tagline. I died (comparatively) very little in Dark Souls 3, and some of that was learning situational awareness and FromSoftware logic, but some of that was also that they legitimately had less surprise shenanigans than DS1 or DS2.

"Git Gud" is mostly a jokey phrase but it's kinda true. You're not supposed to be good at Dark Souls your first time. It's a game you go at for a while. Learn it's quirks. It also came out at the right time. That era of game design was defined by a lot of hand holding and mass market appeal. High selling games like Oblivion were watered down versions of games that came before them. Bioshock and the Prince of Persia reboot didn't even let you die. Dark Souls was a breath of fresh air because it trusted the player to figure things out for themselves.

You die a lot and you learn from your deaths. The difference is that death isn't a "mission failed" scenario; you don't lose progress or reload a save. You can use death to your advantage, for example to rush an item, grab it, and die on purpose. Early on you may feel like you're losing progress when you lose the souls from a boss fight or whatever, but ultimately the number of souls you'll lose is a pittance and it'll never truly hinder you.

Yeah. Souls might act as a sort or EXP, but the player's actual experience is more important.

Learn it's quirks. ) and some people have a lot easier time going through the game despite being rubbish at the combat simply by proceeding with caution and taking things slow.The one part that you obviously can't prep for in advance is the boss fights, but even those have fairly rigid "rules" and once you figure them out it's just a matter of executing them. And if it proves to be too much, the game basically provides a "skip this boss" option with the summoning system so anyone can get through the game. I think one of the main things that makes the Souls games fun instead of frustrating is that when you die it's your own fault, so you can go "ugh, why did I/didn't I..." and you get the urge to try again and do better. If you just "randomly died" at the whims of the dastardly developers it wouldn't be any fun because you couldn't learn anything from it (see: RNG in games).
