I’ve been trying to avoid watching anything about this game, I intend to buy it tomorrow or Tuesday

I loved the first red dead redemption and what I remember from playing that game is how entirely different it felt when you turned off stuff like auto aim or the little GPS

I mean if you want the game to aim for you why even play at all? Why not just watch streamers if you don’t want to actually do anything or be challenged in any way?

I mean, I feel this way about just about every game I like.

The Witcher 3 is only worth playing on death march, battlefield games only on hardcore mode, PUBG only first person. poo poo even GTA a totally different experience when you turn off the map, HUD, aim assist and all the other pansy settings that basically play the game for you


Does anyone else prefer playing games in a more immersive and challenging way That’s far more satisfying to win or do y’all just wanna be lame AF

Seriously when a game has a rugged, hard, badass feel like RDR2, don’t spoil it by being coddled Through he experience

yeah let me tell you playing the super badass witcher geralt of rivia is only fun when it takes like 10 hits of your expertly forged steel sword to kill some diaper wearing thug on the streets of novigrad and that same thug can one hit kill you with a piece of scrap wood he found if you forget to recast quen

The difference between Far Cry 5 with baby settings and full free aim, no HUD, hard AF mode is unbelievable

I can’t even imagine how people think it’s fun to just mindlessly, half assesly mash random buttons until the next cut scene

It’s a lot more fun indeed when you can get killed in two Well placed sword strikes because then you actually have to learn how to fight and not get hit by swords like an idiot if you let them stab you, you deserve to die, duh

What can possibly be satisfying about playing a game as rich and complex as the Witcher 3, with insanely deep mechanics and finely tuned gameplay if you are just an invincible tank mashing one button over and over never having to learn anything the developers spent their time building into the game.

CNF you should post only in hardcore mode with permadeath AKA if you have a spelling or grammar error in any of your posts you get probated, and if you get probated you get permabanned

witcher 3's combat is garbage on any difficulty and it's hilarious that it's like 30x easier on death march to fight actual monsters than it is humans

Another cool benefit is if you play something like battlefield on hardcore mode only, you almost never have to hear stupid 10 year old poo poo heads because stupid children can’t handle games that take any level of patience or discipline to learn they always play on easy mode with auto aim

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
I think a lot of people play Red Dead and The Bitcher primarily for the story and not for the gameplay. I don't know why those people don't just watch TV or a movie instead, but I guess that's their business.

I thought about streaming games sometimes to show how different these games are when you play them
Correctly but no one would ever watch my streams and I don’t want anyone staring at me while i play

I watched an excellent streamer one time who played games correctly and he never said a word except for exclaiming to himself in excitement ocassjonally, it was actually cool and badass, it was incredibly cinematic and amazing to see a game played this way, it comes alive

maybe every game should just be featureless polygon rooms with cubes shooting at eachother if story and context is pointless

Search the rear end in a top hat of each bear for the warm secret within. Collect them all. Trade the bear a foe's ear for the privilege and watch his eyes light up. No one can say what's right or wrong out amongst the sagebrush. Ever eat a bear's rear end in a top hat, Tex? What else do you have going on right now?

The magic of games is that you can go and play them again with different settings, some games even let you adjust settings on the fly.

Except for the Souls games. They have no easy setting.

The difficulty settings you use in video games is highly correlated with penis size. That’s science!
