Some friends and I are going to play Elden Ring and hand off the controller after each death while my wife dies of embarrassment in the next room

Recommending other games defeats the purpose but I want you to know that I still love each and every one of you unconditionally

oh you can just mess around and do whatever you want? run around the world and gently caress around with other peoples' cars for fun? and you never see a game over screen?? sounds pretty lame and boring

e: actually now that i think about it this applies to all 1 million ubisoft style open world minimap-icon-em-up games too. they all have low or nonexistent difficulty/challenge

this is p much why people lose their minds over dark souls, because it's been so goddamn long since there were games challenging anything but your patience

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a very pretty and relaxing game to play until you get ambushed and realize the controls and frustrating animation times make you a helpless little baby that cant do the simplest thing.

Is it even possible to rob trains and make enough money to make it worthwhile in red dead 2?

I took out the guards silently, looted the baggage car and managed to rob a few passengers before the train driver magically knew what was happening and stopped the train and called an enormous posse on me. Took ages to escape and I made maybe $15. You can steal a coach near Emerald Ranch and sell it for $30 in less than five minutes.

people like dark souls because its fun and cool and full of vibes, there are a ton of hard games and a bunch of games that are harder than dark souls if you put it on a higher difficulty.

oh what's up I'm back to talk some more about Wizardry

no not really. I'm just here to tell you that Devil Spire is a really great dungeon crawling roguelike, especially for the price. There are some balancing issues in that some spells are a little overpowered, but other than that I think it's a really great game.

hitman 2-3 are perfection, mostly. I hated the idea and execution of elusive targets at first but now that there are a ton of them I can usually fire it up and have something cool to do for a bit that I haven't done before. It's annoying because the game is 100 gigs or something and I can't uninstall it because I keep playing it here and there

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!
Just finished Dishonored again, but this was the first time playing low chaos. It was a lot of fun and really felt like the old Thief games.

It's a really good game. I probably replayed it over 6 times. Last level is more of a spectacle on high chaos, but overall I think playing on low chaos is a more rich experience.

Ideally you should do both to appreciate either more.

yeah. And I know that there's a lot of people that like A Thing because they feel like they're supposed to, but it's the same with anything, like if someone hears a lot about how influential Sonic Youth is and then puts on some of their more inaccessible stuff, they can only sit through so much unpleasant guitar feedback before they, even just to themselves, leave it behind

and a game asks a lot more of you, so it's more like "yeah I own Game X, hell yeah, of course I do" and in Steam their playtime is something like 3 hours total

e: fuckin' POSEURS are what i'm talking about here!!!

um quite the opposite really, people play games like league of legends because they want one consistent game they can keep coming back to

hype is what causes people to go into a frenzy and buy games like horizon day one even though you can watch 10 seconds of gameplay and feel like you've absorbed it all
