Board 8 > Not bad, Dark Souls.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I expected a respectable 55-45 loss, not... this.

Never played the game but pretty surprised.

Doesn't surprise me. More kids this gen played this and have no love for skyrim

i dont think kids would even be able to get out of the tutorial in Dark Souls.

This is a strange opinion to have, considering there isn't a tutorial in Dark Souls.

the asylum is built as a tutorial.

its just a very well designed tutorial. (those generally manage to mask themselves fairly well as not being a tutorial)

Is SMB 1-1 a tutorial?

---

Under this argument, yes. And I've seen videos that have explained how it was set up precisely to do that -- teach the player to jump, to kill an enemy, to hit ? blocks...there's a pit you can fall in safely before a pit you can't. Et cetera.

SMB is harder to say. i guess you could say it is indeed just a very well designed, very intuitive tutorial.

But for Dark Souls there are literally tutorial messages scattered all througout the asylum

you could in theory miss them, but they are there. the area is clearly designed to function as a tutorial.

I guess I'm just thinking of tutorial as having intentional explanations. More hand holdy.

If you treat smart design that builds upon showing the gameplay bit by bit a tutorial, then yeah.

But even still, SMB 1-1 is more of a tutorial than Undead Asylum, which doesn't really *explain* a whole lot, through requirement or otherwise. It's more of a 'drop you in the area' type deal. Which is fine.

what?

are you ok dude?

i don't think you're responding to ..anything in the conversation. maybe try reading that again?

I'm mostly just drunk but also trying to poke fun at your implication that you're better than 'kids' because you have beaten the first area in a video game and want to pretend that other people can't.

---

dude...it was just a joke because the guy above that post suggested the main audience for Dark Souls is kids, which is obviously not true.

..you did say you're drunk though so i'll let it slide.

Considering kids as 10-17 who play. Surprisingly, DS was released same year as Skyrim so I stand corrected.

Really, the error is in saying the primary voter-base of this site is kids.

Kids can't even handle modern games, old people don't know how games work period, young adults are too busy with their gotchas and their fourtonights...makes you wonder how the games industry stays alive
