Game reporter quits after 5 deaths in 30 minutes

no videogame should be made for everyone

they just want something like control has on every single game
where you can make yourself immortal or reduce the % dmg you take, increase % dmg you do and all that stuff

What I really don't get is why don't they just cheat?
Are they all console faggots?

Participation Trophy Generation

just allow cheats. this game plays like an old school video game so why not allow braindead fun cheat mode with infinite mana, never staggering, infinite hp etc.. seems like a fun game to have it on.

I picked up the Stranger of Paradise demo and it seems like this is the logic it's following. From what I can tell, the game is build around Hard Mode since that gives better rewards and equipment according to the difficulty select.
But there's also a normal mode and a story mode, making the game easier. If you select story mode, which makes the game a breeze, you can still activate Casual Mode. Which I can only assume is designed entirely for game journos and plays itself.

5 deaths in 30 mins is pretty normal for a Souls. What's abnormal is giving up

>Why does everyone feel that they NEED to be involved with this developers games?
I don't get this shit either.
I've pirated the day it came out and still haven't played it because I'm finishing up a few other games first.
I really don't get why people treat games/tv shows/movies as something they have to do right away or it loses value or have to watch/play what everybody else is

>hype merchants sell this as 10/10 GOTD
>97 on metacritic
Yeah idk why people had FOMO, beats me.

Extension of toxic spoiler culture.
If they aren't playing it with everyone else, everyone else will be talking about it and they'll learn stuff before they play it, ruining the game forever.

>the article was posted here before
because he cheated and was salty about the fact he had to cheat so he wrote an entire cope article about how he totally didn't care about cheating because the game deserved it

hairy krishna?

It's every fucking From game since DSII though

The only bosses I felt were really unfair was Margit and Melenia. Margit is unfair on purpose because he is telling the player that they should really level up instead of just trying to rush through the game, but Melenia is flat out unfair and beatable really through cheese tactics

What fucking game is made for all people? What the fuck kind of statement is that? Fuck you Any Forums for posting this shit.

Reminder that the only way to deal with mass repliers is using a filter like this:

You can change the 10 at the end to adjust how many post quotes it takes for the filter to work.
They want your attention so don't give it to them.

i wonder if they beat any of them

as if there is not enough cheese in the game

Because its popular, and since journalism ia a field of snakes, the social pressure of them not being able to play it eats them and rather than persevere & engage with the game some more, or at least understand that a story of effort, doubt at one's ability to succeed, and glorious, or sometimes spiteful victory, is a rich & worthwhile choice to design a game around and that'll arguably serve more to the game than what's mentioned above,they'd rather turn a blind eye on that.
Of course, when it's, say, Mushihimesama, that does it, they can simply ignore it, that game won't shape upcoming developers' ambition or if they do chances are they'll make another shmup the general public can ignore. Maybe an "esteemed" developer will mention it in an interview once in a blue moon, but it mostly ends there.
When it's a game that's projected to sell millions, they feel their vision being threatened, they can see that this vision of gaming might spread. Arguably, their job might be at staake, because they themselves would have to put effort & go through this same, very much non instantaneous experience in order to have any kind of legitimacy to review the product they're talking about, otherwise it's at best the viewpoint of someone who dismissed a game, which has its worth actually for consumers unsure about a game, since you can identify with what a person did not like about a game, but that's usually second to listening to someone who actually went through the game.
That's how I see it, a defense mechanism, if you will, though probably a worthless one since western studios are likely too thorn at this point to commit this much, though we never know.

You go on social media where video games are discussed now and people unironically just say things like "these nerds need to understand that video games aren't their niche hobby anymore, it's hit the mainstream and video games are for everybody."
And that is their entire argument. That is some ultimate truth to them and they don't understand why you are even questioning such an obvious fact.

At least it's not a tranny.

Do you feel like you have to play anything that is popular or praised?

>Margit
>unfair
literally just git gud. It's so easy to see the difference in your skill when he pops up again in that random field and you can just body him (not fighting him on horseback of course because that's for pussies)

He's tailor made to filter out shitters and force you to raise your game or out-level him. I loved it

>What fucking game is made for all people?
hugbox games like animal crossing or stardew valley. That's all these people want to get out of videogames

thanks user, doing this now

>journalism ia a field of snakes
Leave sneks out of this

So why don't they play Horizon Forbidden West instead of Fromsoft Game That Isn't For Me #7?

That's literally 50+% of this entire fucking website
The other half is pornography

I've tried to explain so many times that the difficulty is a feature and apart of the appeal. They design the whole game around the fact that players will be dying constantly. People just can't handle losing.

There isn't even really a story to it. All the lore is locked behind item descriptions and fan theories.

it's clear that gaming journalists will only be able to beat the easiest of games, so why don't they just pay some schmuck to play the games for them, then give them 30 bucks for their time and footage

they're not wrong
the fact that it alienates and "isn't for" some players pretty much guarantees it won't be a 10/10 must play game because it can't be a must play game
it's a niche game for niche interests

>At least it's not a tranny.
user...

Everything after the mountain of the giants is shit.

This. I think they are seeing that stuff like From games might set some new precedent for just telling audiences "no." I think they expected that the more mainstream From games became the more they would be forced to buckle under pressure to conform to status quo norms of AAA video game design and that is not happening. Even now Miyazaki has said they will just continue to make challenging games and that it is perhaps "just part of out identity after all"

It’s hilarious watching normalfags seethe at missing out on the next big thing

>guarantees it won't be a 10/10 must play game because it can't be a must play game
but it is scoring over 90 and is being called "a must play" by the bast majority of official outlets

>adds new mechanics that completely trivialize any game boss

>swapna
This can’t be a real name

And that's the thing, their real outrage is that they are simply being told "no." and that it's not a joke, the developer is serious, and is serious about saying "no" every single fucking release.

>video game journalists opinions matter now that they like something Any Forums likes

>5 deaths
Bruh. I think I died 20 times trying the fucking jumping puzzle at the bottom of the catacombs.

Winning every competition at EVO isn't for me and me alone. I wish it were.
>The famous tournament is filled with people who are better than me, and it's alienating me.

Because nobody gives a shit about Forbidden West, so if they jerk themselves off over it, people will ignore them.
