TheDiceMustRoll posted:My view of it is that you can't simply ignore fromsoft games because they're popular and not a niche. Like I enjoy Warriors games but they're very niche outside of the Zelda ones so people can kind of just ignore them. You can't really ignore Dark Souls and be part of the general gaming conversation because it only seems to get more and more popular. Some of these people seem to be afraid to be left out of it. Which is odd, because Mario Kart 8 has outside the entire souls franchise, I think even including Elden Ring, but nobody really talks about it. I ignore popular things all the time, you should try it

TheDiceMustRoll posted:Nah, you're dodging the question. I get it, because you can't really back yourself out of the corner you painted for yourself but maybe the next time you argue try to actually meet me where I'm at like you're supposed to do in Sekiro instead of the Batman Arkham series "Mash A and dodge infinitely" poo poo lol i very literally answered it, directly. are you from another planet wtf is going on

I'm not going to try to read the last couple pages to figure out wtf is going on but I guess I'll just assume it's people being incapable of understanding that other people might like different things like every other time this thread gets into a dumb argument.

Stux posted:i said "gun to my head" thankfully there is no insane assassin putting my life at risk while also giving me the incredible power to edit sekiro and the memories of all that have played it. im sorry if you we re genuinely concerned it was a real situation. Right? I don't have to choose, it's great & nothing like what you said before at all Stux posted:and sekiro isnt about what u said at the end. its about incredibly tight boss fights, the best fights theyve ever made bar none lol Stux posted:if you got rid of one part of sekiro which would leave it as recogniseably the game sekiro. the cutscenes or the gameplay.

If you put a gun to my head and asked me which part of Sekiro is more important, the cutscenes or the gameplay, I might think it's a trick question and say the wrong thing. Leave the gun at home if you want a well designed game, in my opinion.

the only thing i have to comment on not knowing about popular games is guessthe game likes to have something like call of duty where there's 80 loving iterations and you run out of guesses trying to pinpoint exactly which one it is

It's actually very simple I'm sorry guys, did I say this attitude applied to me? I ignore games all the time. It's just how I see people react to stuff. A lot of people who don't like Dark Souls cannot stop talking about it. I thought that would be easy enough to understand.

Hey, sick, I didn't know the sequel to Touhou Mystery Dungeon-like Gensou Wanderer had a now-translated sequel just drop without me noticing. This time the gimmick is entire teams on the field instead of a duet. This rules.

The whole Touhou mythos escapes me as well but there do seem to be a lot of cool Touhou games. There was a SRW-like that looked really cool.

Fuligin posted:Disagree, ds2 has colors, ds3 has some v attractive areas (irithyll! Dragon monastery place!) but the palette is so muted and dull a lot of the time Also DS3 inherited Bloodborne's pathological need to have More Detail everywhere. Sure, many areas in DS2 are noticeably stark and that's not necessarily ideal, but places in 3 like the Undead Settlement give me a bit of a headache because there's just so many layers of gribblies and whatsits everywhere. Makes for nice looking screenshots (the pre-poison swamp swamp is particularly pretty, imo) but while playing it gets to be a bit visually exhausting.

It can absolutely be a deal in modern detailed games where it's hard to visually parse the important part of level geometry cause of the clutter and amount of details.

How is the Dwarf Fortress UI now that the game has graphics? Is it exactly the same level of terrible, unintuitive garbage it has always been or has it been improved?

That was really the only thing stopping me from putting time into the game and now I have 60+ hours. There's still some missing sprites that use placeholder stuff and a few features from the old version aren't in due to how the controls were changed.
