Every Fromsoft game even if you pay attention to everything you're told.

[–] starik@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 hours ago

Except Sekiro. That story is pretty straightforward.

[–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 0 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Skipped the cut scene in Rennalas fight.

Went from a library to an ocean with a full moon. Keep forgetting to not skip every time I replay the game, so I still don't know what happens...

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 11 hours ago

If you really want to know...Ranni shows up, casts an illusion, and the second half of the fight is you actually fighting her, not her mom.

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 22 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

The problem i have is when they infodump at the start with a bunch of names ill never remember.

"In the year 1590, jahalabad of nehazarad conquered the realm of jililabab, defeating rilolobob in the grand battle of kolololooom, ushering in a new age of..." skipped.

This is why I love roguelites. I don't need a story to tell me why I'm in this dungeon, just give me a gun and/or sword.

[–] felsiq@piefed.zip 6 points 17 hours ago

The exception to this rule is Hades, the gameplay is great but if I could skip the gameplay to get more cutscenes I’d be tempted sometimes cuz the story is so fucking good

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 2 points 21 hours ago

Wait, wait, this is an otome game!

The psychology of breaking down a soldier in basic training .... beat a new recruit to a pulp, physically, mentally and emotionally until all they understand is how to use a gun and shoot things that are alive.

[–] jellyfishhunter@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

... And breathing

[–] Chronographs@lemmy.zip 8 points 22 hours ago (4 children)

I never understand this mentality, like why even play a game if you’re too impatient to even engage with the content.

[–] starik@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 hours ago

Kids. They don’t have the attention span. I watch my niece play games, and she never pays attention to cutscenes and never spends her skill points.

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 15 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

The action is content. It's just people engaging in the content they want to

[–] hypeerror@sh.itjust.works 2 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

This fine citizen won't skip the setup in the video either. It's integral to their enjoyment that one knows exactly how the step sister got stuck in the appliance! I salute you.

[–] Chronographs@lemmy.zip 3 points 18 hours ago

I don’t know, I guess I just respect games as an artform a bit more than stepsister porn

[–] shrugs@piefed.social 1 points 20 hours ago

underrated comment of the day!

[–] jtrek@startrek.website 7 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not here to watch a movie. I'm here to take this axe and hit monsters with it.

I'm sure bloodborne has a very deep story. I had a great time just hitting stuff with that axe and occasionally shooting things. That's the bulk of the content.

Bloodborne has a deep story but good luck figuring out what it is

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 0 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

Shooting demons is the content. I do not want to listen to the scientist tell me why they opened portals to hell. I do not care why they opened portals to hell. I just want to shoot demons.

This is why I like the 1993 Doom more than the 2016 Doom: Nobody tries to talk to me and stop me shooting demons for any period of time.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 0 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

in doom shooting demons is the content. in chrono trigger the content is in the story

just this image gives me dopamines. that game got me through college.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 8 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

I mean, I’m here to play a video game, not watch a movie catered to 15 year old, socially stunted boys. It takes a lot of convincing for me to stick around through “Hey newbie, you have to earn our leader’s trust by securing 6 mcguffins and a candy bar before they’ll meet you.”

[–] Hazmatastic@lemmy.world 8 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Bold words coming from a 15-year-old. But hey, to each their own

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works -2 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

To be clear, you’re accusing me of being 15? That genuinely gave me a hit of nostalgia. Could you poorly censor some slurs while you’re at it?

[–] Hazmatastic@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Absolutely, it was a totally serious comment definitely not based on your totally serious name

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 3 points 21 hours ago

Shoot, I somehow forgot I set this. Gonna have to think of a new jape, considering I’m not even playing into this anymore

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

But how will you ever find out that switching to your sidearm is always faster than reloading?!

[–] plecks@programming.dev 2 points 10 hours ago

And you run faster with a knife!

[–] rugburn@fedinsfw.app 4 points 22 hours ago

Gonna kill his eardrums if he's not wearing the proper ppe under that helmet

[–] HelluvaKick@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

Me with p much every Fire Emblem game

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

It’s fun when FFXIV has dungeons that wrap so tightly into the story, leading many of these players to realize they shouldn’t have been skipping so many cutscenes.

Sultry voice: “Welcome to the final days of Amaurot.”
“…shit, wait, how did we get here?? Why is everything on fire”

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 19 hours ago

Don't think I've ever done in the first play through but not uncommon after that.
