Your average gamer today is absolutely retarded and will buy an unfinished Triple-A piece of shit riddled with monetization schemes and endlessly complain about it while still continuing to buy this kind of trash.
It became mainstream unfortunately
Normies ruin everything.
I'm not laying this all at Microsoft's feet; but the introduction of the XBOX and Halo had a massive push of catapulting videogames into the mainstream. With a larger consumer base, comes larger profits, comes corporate bloat, comes bad consumer practices, and a whole host of other things that happen when people start realizing there's an untapped market for money. Then you have the companies on one side and the idiot consumers on the other, who feed each other in a feedback loop that says the customers want to be treated like domesticated cows and milked for everything they're worth.
The other day I saw people circlejerking about the greatness of Fromsoft and they would say shit like "you can lock-on to enemies like in DS" and "the boss has a lifebar like in DS", then "man this game is so influential, everyone is copying it". That's right, we wouldn't have lock-on and lifebars on bosses without Fromsoft.
DSP is a similar brand of retard. One example I can think of is when he beat the final boss of Zelda 2. As soon as the fight begins, he immediately heads to left, where there is a known exploit where you can crouch and stab Dark Link to completely cheese the fight. However, DSP wants to pretend he "discovered" it, so he then proceeds to pretend to fight Dark Link normally. On his next life, he again walks to the left, and allows Dark Link to bash him into the corner, where he proceeds to use the exploit. Cue mugging to the camera about how he "figured out" how to beat Dark Link.
(it's porn)
Oooh right I do know Gleylancer. Come to think of it, Gradius V is pretty talky, but I never got around to finishing it.
I know. It's always porn. Or "bug fixes" as the people playing a Bethesda game with 1000+ mods calls it.
Learned English as a kid. Learned python and algorithms on graphs as a young adult. Both were irreplaceable at the time. My business grew out of these, I run a transport/logistics consultancy.
The fact that the God of War devs used DSP as a reference for dumbing down games for modern audiences is both hilarious and depressing.
I always figure they're traditionally made by nerds who want to flex their design skills and make something fun. The ones that aren't designed by commities, anyway.
A "soulslike" just means a game that is designed to be played in a similar manner to Dark Souls, and unfortunately the series is now a benchmark for game difficulty so anything being called the "Dark Souls of x" just means that it's harder than mainstream slop like Assassin's Creed or Dad of Boy.
One of the issues I'm having is that modern games often tend to be dumbed down in order to appeal to dumb redditors, as a fan of strategy games it's an absolute travesty that the genre is dominated by Paradox and CA who's latest offerings are peak redditcore, and in the former's case a complete and total downgrade from the game that it's a sequel of and most likely completely unsalvageable since it's a game about the Victorian era that's being developed by a bunch of fucking commies.
Trannies have an aversion to playing games properly and instead try to break and exploit them for reasons unknown to us normal people, I suspect it's a reflection of them trying to cheat nature by pretending to be a woman but this time it actually works.
Often times I make a judgement on whether someone's opinions are worthwhile or not solely based on their pfp, you are not proving me wrong.
I mean all entertainment is.
