Why is this argument so popular?

>>713974303 (OP)
It's what you have to say to defend modern Kojislop

DS1 and DS2 are too easy and forgiving for you to do the whole "planning you route thing". that has always been a meme. I beat the game on very hard and it was still too easy outside of the boos fights.

To be fair, he was correct that there's a retarded amount of moons
Dunno why he felt the need to artificially inflate his video length by listing every single one

>>713974303 (OP)
Sometimes it does apply, Hotline Miami 2 is a good example. The gameplay basically encourages you to memorize the map layouts and forward key through the whole thing in one long combo blitz and most players instead camp corners and whine when they get shot.

>>713974303 (OP)
if you're not willing to attempt to experience a video game and engage with what it gives you, why go out of your way to make a public critique?

>>713974303 (OP)
What game did people tell you that you played wrong?

>>713975950
The bigger maps in Hotline Miami 1 were some of the worst because they could end up being RNG nonsense because a guard would take you out off screen you couldn't see. That's not very fun, and they doubled down on the large maps in Hotline Miami 2.

>>713974303 (OP)
>Why is this argument so popular?
Because seeing how someone engages with the game is the easiest method to determine the validity of their individual complaints. Kind of like when someone complains that ER is hard yet they never upgrade their weapons, or how someone complains about poor level design in Crash Bandicoot but they actually just suck at basic platforming.

>>713975950
I only played HM1. I remember I got a horrible score and was like "fuck off dev, I don't care about scores in a singleplayer game". Proceeded to play the whole game like a giant stealth segment, killing a single enemy at once before hiding again

>>713974303 (OP)
I say the same thing about having sex with me.

>>713976321
Dark Souls players are their own special kind of retarded though. Consumables? Won't use em. Summons? Refuse the help. Ranged weapons or spells? Not fair.

Bitch, you made this hard on yourself then complained about it.

The amount of people who used matches wrong in Evil Within should be outright criminal. They used them mostly assuming the enemies revive after some time like some copycat RE1R mechanic instead of timing them to burn several instantly.

>>713974303 (OP)
Because it legitimately applies to niggers that ignore the narrative and only focus on gameplay.

>>713974303 (OP)
he's right though.
Plays like a retards. Doesn't understand what he's doing. Then complains because the game isn't lowering to his retarded levels. That's why we get nothing but Souls slop nowadays where all you do is roll, wait your turn and attack over and over again for countless of hours. That is how retarded the gameplay has to be nowadays for people to get it.

I don't play ER but have a irl friend who personally ragequit Elden Ring near the end and bitched about the bosses combos and never having being able to get a hit in.

I bring up that the point of the bell summons seems to be so you can aggro the boss away from you which would solve the issue and he adamantly refused to use it. Like it was akin to summoning coop player or something. Firmly made me believe he's got some undiagnosed sperg issues.

>>713974303 (OP)
>>The game isn't bad, you just play it wrong
It's usually true. Some people genuinely don't interact with the game in a way that the developers intended them to, and it ruins the experience. They ignore tutorials, they pretend certain mechanics just flat out don't exist, they don't give the game an honest chance in the way they should be doing, get pissed off or bored, and act like the game is "shit" because of how THEY played it.

Yes, there is a right way to play games. Some games require you to pay attention to the story, and to immerse yourself in the game world. Optional content is great to achieve this.

Ever played a pen and paper RPG anon? Linear games are bad DM's who force you on rails, its widely considered the worst kind of DM for a reason.

>>713981304
You may not notice it but every game out there no matter if it's a tabletop or an actual video game has some sort of a gameplay loop that gives you the similar experience when you play through it

>>713974303 (OP)
>if you critize this consoom you are attacking me, my taste is not bad, you are the problem
That's why. People take critique of entertainment personally = if the product is shit that must mean you're saying they are shit.

>>713981473
I read recently that every game tries to guide you with light (i.e. the critical path is usually lit up in some way) and I can't unsee it in every game

>>713981304
You're conflating linear story progression with linear gameplay, when the latter almost never happens in a game worth it's salt. Very few games are played exactly the same in every single playthrough by every single person.

>>713981405
>If he can't even play the game properly
but he can, his whole point is that the game doesn't demand you to engage with the advance movement system of the game because 99% of the moon are brain-dead easy to get.

>>713974303 (OP)

Because if you play Gran Turismo and complain it's not like Need for Speed I will (rightfully) call your a fucking retard.

No matter how you play Death Stranding, it will inevitably be boring and tedious either way. Your best option is probably to play in a server where other players have already built roads, bridges and structures for you, and skip any cutscene that doesn't grip your attention in the first 3-5 seconds.

>>713981049
>Movie doesn't entrance you in the first 10 minutes
It's probably trash. A good movie is supposed to hook the viewer at the start, not halfway in.

>>713980717
Honestly, in every single game I like to avoid consumables as much as humanly possible, like traps in monster hunter or potions in pokemon, unless they're quintessential to the game, like pokeballs in pokemon

see that what I'm talking about, he shat all over the game and didn't struggle at all while playing it. So you use this 10s clip as a cope. his full streams of the game are on Youtube, he played the game well.

Have you tried analyzing something with what's actually presented instead of coming to a conclusion first and working backwards to try and find evidence of you being right?

>>713982603
The X boosts I dont mind that much, but what drives me up the wall was trying to hunt with a bunch of fags I know and they all bring seven hundred traps each plus barrels, then proceed to stunlock sleepbomb BDSM gangrape monsters before they can even defend themselves and scream at me for not bringing MORE traps since my presence inflates the monster HP. What's the fucking point of all of this garbage, that you're actively trying to not fight the fucking monster at all

>>713983173
the game presents you with an incoherent plot and retarded story written by a narcissistic, egotistic jap faggot who constantly sniffs his own farts and forced his own workers to make the gameplay "less fun" before release cause he likes to parade himself on just how 'niche' he wants to stay and not enter the mainstream when every single actor he hires to play on the game is some type of hollywood mainstream faggot. it speaks enough for itself as it is, i'm not further analyzing and wasting my time with incoherent schizo babble.

>>713983473
well at least you gave it a chance

>>713983473
You're talking about things outside of the game.

not talking about DS or whatever this is about, but lets be real, there's people obsessed with souls games who want to force any 3rd person game with sword to play like a souls game even when it's not and then complain it plays nothing like a souls game, as well as the opposite, people who want to play souls games like a casual hack'n'slash and then complain when it's not fun to play
and even outside of this souls examples, there's plenty of people who do this with other games, literally avoiding main game mechanics or trying to force game mechanics that aren't there and then complain, these type of people defintely do play games wrong

>>713983693
things that happen outside of a game can influence the way you think of or see the actual game, regardless of the story or how it actually plays. UNDERTALE being one of the examples. obnoxious faggot and pedophile furry fanbase stops you from actually wanting to go play the game.

>>713983730

>>713983901
a game isn't something you put together like homemade food you fucking retarded. it needs to be like processed cup noodles where are the flavor and shit is right there in the cup as powder that dissolves in water over the dried noodles. you just pour water over them, aka, the bare minimum, aka starting up the game, and then the rest forms up from there.

>>713984010
>you're easily influence because.... you saw how the game is being handled by the developer himself and the type of person he is and decided by your own volition that this isn't the type of game you would want to play and that you don't really want to support someone like this... all of this using critical thinking.... and because of that... you are not using critical thinking lol

>>713976736
He's right though, the bell summons make the game pathetically easy

>>713984081
And then people try to eat it with a knife and complain it's too hard, clearly the game's fault.

>>713984231
You're easily influenced because you have autism and low intelligence. The other things happen as a result of that.

>>713974303 (OP)
The purpose of a game isn't to exist and be beatable by everyone regardless of how they play. The purpose is to be fun for the audience who likes that kind of game. Being rewarded for playing well is fun. By its nature, giving the player meaningful rewards for playing well necessitates punishing the player who doesn't play well, because if it makes no difference, then who cares? And that's boring.

If you build your game around the DSPs of the world, you make your game less fun for everyone who isn't as unadaptable, uncurious, and retarded as DSP, which is actually the overwhelming majority of the gaming public. There's a reason why he's one of the universally agreed upon punching bags of the gaming community.

>you did NOT just tell Mommy's special boy what to do! I hate you!!
Yes it is possible to play a game wrong, and yes it is possible for that to ruin the game. This is true of almost any activity and you are a babbling retard if you disagree

That's imsims in general. I'm almost positive that genre was born out of them failing to make shooting mechanics work well, so they're like "you can snap wet towels at guards and herd them into landmines!" Since imsim players are total faggots, this is fun for them because they're scared of guns.

>>713985547
People like Palworld and Souls. Saying that everyone is corrupt and stupid is such a lazy, unhelpful, and actually somewhat cowardly (because it's an easy way to justify opting out of confronting the problem) way of approaching society, and you actually make it harder to fight back against the stupid and corrupt people by pushing it.

>>713986084
Yellow paint is a product of dev laziness more than anything else. You DO need a way to show the player which objects they can interact with. Usually, that would be by using certain models for breakable/climbable/etc. objects, floating text when you get close, sparkling/shining, etc.
