You kill all enemies in one hit, you can never die, you have unlimited of every resource. There. Are you engaged with the game now? What is even the point - just watch a Youtube playthrough or some stuff. Like honestly - I wonder how these people deal with the slightest amount of resistance or difficulty in the waking world. I know we play games to unwind, but if everything in the game is just a punching bag what is even the point? --- All your favorite RPGs: http://www.youtube.com/user/silvosforever http://i996.photobucket.com/albums/af84/silvosforever/funnygif.gif <cite>SilvosForever posted [p:985010124] in It feels l...

Mussurana 05/09/25 3:04:33 PM #32:	I'm a bit ambivalent about these topics. On the one hand, accessibility is not a dirty word, no movie skill checks you to see if you are worthy to see the ending after all. Many enjoyers of video games may also have physical disabilities or have simply aged beyond the requirements of old that stipulated level memory, practice, and razor sharp reactions that classic titles required.

That's too bad - I can't play games with that." Or "I think the game looks cool but I've hear it's pretty hard - that's a shame." Like - how fucking risk averse are some people? You rage at the very first time you die in any game? You bump into the Goomba in Mario 1-1 and say "fuck this game!" So funfact, I'm an absolute fumble at the knifeplay in the Resi 4 remake, but I still got the Cat Ears. You just gotta compensate for the things you're weak at. That said, TCs acting pretty wild, the only person I ever really see getting worked up about there needing to be lower difficulty levels is Jim Sterling. --- Time is a funny thing, you know?

DipDipDiver 05/09/25 3:35:47 PM #40:	To me it feels like an acknowledgment that people like games for different reasons.

The last few hours weren't great both story and gameplay wise but I thought it was a good enough Tales game.
