I'm getting sick of non-pure-action games where you can die quickly in long fights. Recent examples are V Rising and Grounded. If I'm fighting a boss or tough enemy or whatever in an action game then I don't mind having to dodge everything and not get hit and having to try again if I mess up and get 2-shot. Cause that's what the game is. But in a big open world game I am well over being 2-shot by enemies. V Rising was so egregious with this I stopped playing it. You'd prep all your stuff, make your way over to the boss (, wait for loving night if it was day) and then spend a couple minutes dodging all manner of bullshit from the boss and deal with adds only to get hit a couple times and die right near the end of the fight, especially if the boss had some late-stage new ability. Now you gotta run over to pick up your gear, maybe make new consumables, maybe wait for night, maybe you even have to go get your gear repaired. It's just like, gently caress me, why are we doing this in a game that's not about this? Grounded does this too with later bugs having huge health and damage so you have to dodge or block perfectly for so long only to just straight up die if you mess up. It's really draining and it's like, this game could just be more chill, you know? I enjoy the base building and the progression and the exploration you don't have to 2-tap me to keep my attention. If you want a long fight then fine make it an attrition fight, don't make it a fight where I gotta execute forever. What is gained?

I've been playing Orcs Must Die 3 and it's pretty drat fun, singleplayer or co-op it doesn't matter, gratuitous cartoon violence is the best They added a trap that's just a huge metal ball on a spring that rolls through the massive enemy horde. GOTY

I meant more the kind of fan-fiction where everybody is zany friends or "frenemies" or has a Secret Crush but is too tsundere to ever let it be known and all that TV Tropes kind of stuff that is the bread and butter of fandom types who are stuck on Young Adult fiction. And I loaded it up this afternoon and learned two things: 1) its more fun than I remember and 2) that stuff is definitely in there, at least early on. People can enjoy "what if Cerberus was a Heckin' Pupperino and the souls of the damned were quirky little guys" if you want, but it feels too cutesy for its own good for my tastes. It has that Tumblry feel of characters needing to be your friends and have a hang-out vibe that doesn't work for me. I don't think it's any hornier than something like Devil May Cry V or Witcher III or a million other games that feature sword-himbos and nude goddesses.

I really wish Hades was built around something other than dashing constantly. Like the optimal sword strategy is to literally never do a normal attack, just dash attack forever. And most other weapons are just as bad. The bow basically has no good reason not to dash-attack all the time because it makes the shot faster to compensate for the time you spent dashing. That you have to reload the 1-shot gun every time you shoot is irrelevant because you just reload during the dash you're definitely going to do after the shot anyway. And if you're not constantly dashing at higher heat then good luck not dying to all the ability spam. Though I think the most egregious thing Hades does is not give you 2 dashes at the beginning making it so you're not even really playing Hades until you unlock it.

iI like when games are like "LOL YOU NEVER COULD HAVE WON BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T DONE THE META PROGRESSION poo poo YET GET FUUUCKED". It's technically still possible but it's still a gently caress you. The difficulty curve shouldn't become easy just because I played the game a bunch, it should become easy because I improved to the point where something is no longer difficult for me.

In Hades the gods are all portrayed as self-absorbed two-faced schemers, which is true to how they've been depicted for thousands of years, so it's bewildering that someone is like "haha they're all zany friends!" It's absolutely true that the gameplay is based around dashing a lot, I like that personally but it's true.

Fur20 posted:I'm on team Extreme Video Game Violence. Not, like, visually the way Mortal Kombat does it, but in terms of the content. Fight and kill poo poo, kick your enemies off a cliff, punch the final boss in the face with the trigger buttons until the screen turns red... I think we're an aggressive, omnivorous species, and that's not necessarily a bad thing; we just need an outlet to express our instincts safely. And that's video games! I always liked the Star Wars ones where you could like force grab the baddies and toss them off a cliff. Force choke never really appealed to me. Blasters are just guns with fancy laser bullets... Lame. I should probably talk to my therapist about this, but I'm not sure any of it would make sense.
