Was in a comment section about designing games to respect the player's time and mentioned I never finished Hollow Knight because it makes you fight the final boss again each time you want to give the secret boss another shot.

Someone jumped in literally telling me "GET GOOD" and when I told them there were other things I'd rather be doing, they followed up with "so don't get hard games just to complain about." They never responded when I asked them how I was supposed to know exactly how hard everything in the game would be before I ever played it.

Every fucking time. I swear I can set my watch by it. The Dark Souls series has earned my undying enmity for what it has done to gaming discourse.

I seriously wish this soulslike fad would finally pass. Unfortunately worst craps tend to have long life, like usian politicians or zombie apocalypse theme.

Honestly if these comps didn't make damn near every hack n slash like em I wouldn't have a prob. Instead you play a demi god who moves like he was born with rickets and has a bear trap on him and has to do these weird checkpoints i-cant And need stamina bars for basic movements i-cant Fair enough on its own but not every 2 games. How is this fun? i-cant

we need to trick them into becoming fighting game players. human opponents are infinitely more rewarding to learn and overcome
