A brief stint with Dark Souls was a refreshing experience in a day where gamers are coddled by developers. Why can't there be more involved interaction and punishing gameplay in today's titles? Is there a limit to where difficulty becomes unacceptable?
Also a hot cosplay chick, Skyrim is looking like marriage, and other things..
A new Skyrim Switch 2 update delivers major visual upgrades, surpassing some console settings, but locks the game to 30fps and introduces noticeable input lag.
That's ridiculous, lol. I'm waiting for the guy that says its too cpu-intensive for the Switch 2. This game is old af and has been released like 17 times.
There are some video game locations which hit you right in the feels. Are these the most emotional places in gaming to visit? Jump Dash Roll counts down 9 destinations in today's feature.
Is the OoT screenshot a comp of hyrule field with the Windows Vista desktop layered over the foreground?
Bandai Namco has released its latest financial report, revealing that the Dark Souls series has reached around 40 million units combined.
No, they have different difficulty settings. I tend to play games on the harder difficulties because on normal, sometimes they are too easy. That doesn't mean video games are too easy.
Dark souls/demon's souls are supposed to be hard. That's the lure. They are for people with extreme patience and there's a good reason not every game is like that.
Being raised in a generation where I didn't have to switch settings to have a challenge...difficulty has taken a serious hit....
As the narrative, characters, and other things have growing importance in video games, I feel like the difficulty is easily justified. Although, when a lot of current games are "hard", it's usually just full of cheap deaths and design flaws. THAT'S why Demon's/Dark Souls is revered; not just for its difficulty, but the fact that it punishes the player for making a mistake, not something the game did wrong.
Are games too easy? Hard to call. A lot of games are, and some aren't. Casual gamers are becoming hardcore and new gamers are being added everyday. The industry is changing. I will say what I don't like is the growing trend of short games. How many games would have been great if they were longer and more fleshed out? Looking at you, Homefront.
Anyway, I digress. Basically, game difficulty is fine with me; I take issue with the length most of the time.
