What makes people beat their heads against enemies they can't beat when there are other really obvious routes just beside those enemies?

You can technically kill any boss but being so owned by a mid boss you quit entirely is insanely funny

I love Dark Souls 1 but none of the other games after it ever grabbed me and I’m cool with that.

Dark Souls 2 is probably still my favorite, and I'd consider buying it yet again if they ported it to the Switch

Then again the net code/online component of Souls series has always been unnecessarily fucky so it’s to be expected. That’s another reason I was surprised about the D3 Switch port. I was expecting a similar treatment with season characters but the game just keeps the game alive and just connects back to their service in the background without having to reload the game or characters. It makes it perfect for a pick up, do a rift, and put back to sleep.

In my defense, I'd enjoyed zero percent of the game up to that point, so I was already in the mood to say gently caress it.

I'd play Dark Souls if it looked more like the Link's Awakening remake

CharlestheHammer posted:You can technically kill any boss but being so owned by a mid boss you quit entirely is insanely funny People have different levels of tolerance for frustration and when it comes to frustration in something you're supposed to be enjoying, well, it's completely reasonable just to give up. Because at the end of the day, if you're not enjoying yourself then why keep going? That said, those people probably shouldn't have bought Dark Souls in the first place.

Achmed Jones posted:This is mostly true except: don’t accidentally fall into deepnest from fungal wastes when you lack a light source, many upgrades, etc. it was not a fun journey back This happened to me... except I never made it out. Then I went exploring elsewhere hoping to save up enough money for the lantern so I could go back and get my revenge. Died several more times, losing all my money. Again. What finally broke me was... I forget his name. The big huge guy who stomps through the floor. I got to his second phase multiple times, only to die. Then finally got killed by one of the warlock scrubs on the way back to him to collect my corpse... and that was when I gave up.

Is there some meta-strat in Tetris99 to pick someone manually and fight them until someone dies? All day today I've had single people target me and not leave me alone all game until one of us dies and it just has me thinking that there has to be a more efficient way to make use of your junk

American McGay posted:90% of the people who play probably never move the control stick and might not even understand you can pick who to target. It's probably just confirmation bias but I never felt like I had people try to duel me until today, even day 1 when no one knew how to target things. edit: Actually I think I've figured it out, it's probably more efficient if you're going to be doing combos to target one person if you want to KO them, while if you select "KOs" it spreads it around.

Current rumor I'm seeing on Twitter about the "dead and buried" game that Nintendo is resurrecting is Scalebound. I'm not seeing any of the big names when it comes to leaks or insider stuff I'm usually seeing though so take that with a huge grain of salt. The place reporting it is Nintendo Insider who idk about

The Platinum game that was supposed to be an Xbox exclusive? That would be an interesting pick. Switch is looking to be a very, very good for character action games

I don’t think Scalebound looked very good but it looked like a ton of work was done on it so might as well get it out one way or another.

Waltzing Along posted:Skyward Sword, for instance, is an absolute slog. It is constantly unfun from beginning to end. From controls that aren't fun to use to repetitive levels to constant reminders of how much a rupee is worth or whatever Fi is blathering about now. There is a lot of time spent in a 40 hour game that is pointless. I'd guess five hours or more and that's being kind. Why does TP's 3 hour tutorial and endless talking get a pass?

Reminder that the same people saying that Scalebound is coming are the same people who claimed that a Metroid Prime Trilogy port is coming at least 4 separate times and that Animal Crossing is getting released on a Tuesday in April.

Devil's advocate, those side paths have locked doors, unreachable ledges, empty sockets in walls that could just perfectly fit some object...if you don't know where else to go, nothing says that near-impossible enemy doesn't drop what you need. In the context of Dark Souls I want to avoid saying the path forward is always clear because I have hundreds of hours in the game and of course it's clear. I also had the unfair advantage of approaching DS1 after Demon's Souls. Most people probably did not, and for them a lot of stuff probably isn't obvious.

There's no way Animal Crossing isn't getting released on 4/20, I don't care if it's a loving Saturday.

This was about firelink shrine and the tower where Havel is in though. The other paths could not be clearer.

You have to go through a building to get to the graveyard. The controls are good even to this day.

Having R1 and R2 for attacking felt weird to me at first, but it's really the only sensible way to set it up for playing with a controller. The game just needs a whole lotta buttons
