I can see your point. Other have sad that it should follow the horsearmor pattern. Which would make it a guess like “I wonder if I can use this animal part like the other animal parts which fill the same role.”

That way you could formulate an educated guess and be happy when it turns out right.

How is it bad that you have to figure something out in a game?

YEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH

Holzkohlen was talking about people doing that shit for a living. So what are you on about?

If you don’t want to talk about it then don’t participate in the conversation.

As the point of soulslikes is to overcome challenge, looking for something beginner friendly or easy is, in my opinion, not the right approach.

Play the fromsoft games in chronological order and skip the numbers entries if you are not interested in the stories.

So: Deamon’s souls -> dark souls -> bloodborne -> sekiro -> elden ring

Dark souls 2 wasn’t that great and has a lot of issues but it tried new stuff which I respect. Still wouldn’t recommend it.

Dark souls 3 was darks souls best of which made it a disappointment for me. You kinda know what will happen next and there wasn’t that much mystery because of that.

Sounds reasonable.

The intended experience is to overcome seemingly insurmountable situations. That can be through brute force (just dodging, attacking) or through deduction (there is a item which kills a boss in 4 hits).

It is about catharsis.

You don’t need to have the best reflexes, you need to be involved in the game/world. And that seems to be the problem with people, they don’t want that.

It is not about the experience, it is about finishing it. Else I can’t explain what “I don’t have time for that means”

Like saying I don’t have time to read animal farm so I just read the cliffnotes. It is completely absurd because you take time for that other wise you would be missing out on nuance.

Not everything has to be for anybody. But saying “makes this more for people who didn’t like it in the first place” is just entitled and rude.

There is so much that is already like everything else with little that makes them stand out. So why take something that is special and make it more generic?

That’s a paradox. Games are in the unique position to make hardship part of the experience.

If you take out the hardship you wouldn’t experience the art in the intended way anyway.

Jupp. If you trap someone highly skilled and give that person a weapon, the chances are good that this person will use that against you.

Like how does a less skilled person know that this code will not send location to the police with a message?

I think it was stated that it was jetbrains mono in the first thread.

Addiction.

Your joke is like my asshole. No one gets it.

“Muuhuum, vim is wrecking havoc on relationships again!”

:q looks like a person which jaw hit the desk. Which adequately described me when I found out how to exit vim.

So you agree that it is a problem.

Jupp. The thing with selling booster is that the company is saying “our game isn’t worth your time so here is a way to skip playing the game”.

Like wtf? I pay money for a game to pay money to skip the game?

I can’t fathom how people are willing to do that.

Like going to the movies, paying for a ticket, giving the cashier like 10bugs extra and the you go home without watching the movie.

If someone would tell you they do this you would think they are fucking crazy.

Full price games with microtransactions are negative, end of story. Everybody saying otherwise grew up after they where implemented in every other game so they don’t know better.

They got trained, like animals, to swallow that shit.

That may be but it is the best course of action to have it free for people to use and if you get to a certain size you have to pay for that shit. That is just fair.

Like pirating music and games when you are poor and then buy those things at a later date when you got the means for it.

Giving a company like Amazon who forbids their employees to piss crucial infrastructure for free ist just a slap in the face of decency.

I think there has to be a change in philosophy. It is free as long as you can’t afford it. But as soon as you can afford it you have to pay. And if your company uses it to operate and generate money then the project has a right to an percentage of that money.

Everything else is just not feasible in the long run. As we see time and time again.

Ah, alright then.
