Watching actualy gameplay from this guy made me lose respect for literally everything he's ever said.
Very sobering.

>>714176043 (OP)Where'a the Kamiya-esque minigames?
>>714176043 (OP)i have a feeling that the game won't be solved by being logical, just a hunch guys
Matthew might be the worst guy ever to write a marketing pitch: the description makes it sound like he's selling you math homework

I still do not understand why this guy jerked off w101.

>>714177790Sometimes a guy just likes a shitty game and that means that he's more trustworthy for it.
If your favorite games are the same as everyone else's that means you're mindless. Even if the taste is dogshit, it means that you actually have some grey matter to use.
>>714176043 (OP)Did he really not add music lmao
>>714177976He was always a midwit fag. Only other midwit fags thought he had anything constructive to say.
>>714177790No shitty camera controls.
Sounds like a worse and unfun version of Baba is You

>>714177878I think it's the exact same thing as a Zachtronics minigame and he made it because he wanted a portable version.
so is his game actually good?
>>714178854love this guy
shame he took down the croc video
I think the idea of forcing yourself to make a game within the limitations of primitive hardware is a pretty smart idea when working on your very first game. Does he intend on getting people to actually spend money for it though?
>>714179413More like croc of shit
>>714176043 (OP)It looks fun
I got into picross about 3 months ago so this looks up my alley
>filtered by elden ring aka the greatest game of all time because he couldn't git gud
lmao
>>714179413He's such a pussy for doing that
>>714177790okay so what are your criticisms of tw101. Note you cannot use mini-games because as much as people pretend he loves everything about the game, he's talked about not liking all of them and finding some annoying.
>>714179580Haha, brilliant
>>714177664He has nothing exciting to say to the game. It's fucking minesweeper, bro, there's nothing really exciting about it
>>714176043 (OP)Please review Elden Ring.
We are begging you
>>714176043 (OP)Will he make youtube videos again now?
>>714178375Agreed if your 3X3 matches another anons, you have no personality.
What was the name of the 2d platformer he's also working on? I remember it had a stupid name
>>714177664It's a fucking puzzle game. How are you supposed to make it sound "exciting"?
If you're so good at making pitches, make a steam description that makes people excited to play minesweeper. Go ahead, i'll wait. No lying and this isn't some magical version of minesweeper that has special graphics or story or features, it's basic minesweeper.
>>714179905He already did.
https://youtu.be/Np5PdpsfINA
>>714179775too many underage oneyschizos trying to use it to stir shit even after DD said he's a fan who found it funny. I dont blame him for not wanting the hassle.
He's one of the most humble people in the gametuber space, why do so many /v/tards have a hateboner for him?
>>714180394Bitter mentally ill assholes hate decent people because they make them self-aware about being bitter mentally ill assholes. They can only stand other assholes and hate anyone who isn't one.
>>714178854Is that matt in the video with him?
>>714178854>>714176043 (OP)Love these two Irish niggas like you wouldn't believe
I love picross too so I'll be picking the game up; seems fun and I WILL get filtered about 30 levels in
>>714180394His entire internet reviewer persona has been about being cerebral, clever, and deep and able to suss out the complexities and complications of game mechanics in their most truthful manner.
He's leveled some big criticisms at some very popular and well received games that are focused on their philosophical issues and how the developers didn't think things through enough.
But then when it comes time to make his own games, the stuff he makes would never have gotten reviewed on his channel, because their content is so middling and uninteresting.
>>714180160>it's basic minesweeper.Have you actually played Minesweeper?
>>714180792No but matt has been in other videos
>>714180857give the pitch
>>714180846At least he got it finished instead of being an overambitious moron and failing.
>>714180894https://youtu.be/Qx1A2Unw1z4?t=453
>>714180394He's funny and pretty self-aware which I guess people get jealous of
Also probably started "video essays" but did it far better than people just relaying the plot but he gets grouped in with them since people are retarded
Holy shit it's actually real
I am unironically looking forward to it
>>714180846>But then when it comes time to make his own games, the stuff he makes would never have gotten reviewed on his channel, because their content is so middling and uninteresting.This is the only game he's made and he's honest about it being a simple game. I don't think saying he wouldn't have reviewed it is pointless when his goal wasn't making something ambitious here in the first place. It's not like he's never reviewed smaller puzzle games on his channel either
>>714178160Back 2 REDDIT, ResetEra, or BLUESKY you.
>>714180394People hate nuance, especially on /v/. People are dumb so they want black and white opinions. They want someone to tell you that this game is either dogshit or the best thing ever. When people try to argue about matt here, they won't include the nuance of an opinion he has, they will boil it down into some extreme
>>714180192A lot of his boss / battle based complaints were not addressed, but some exploration based concerns were.
I want to hear his to thoughts, not yours.
>>714177790because w101 is the best game ever made
>>714182065>but some exploration based concerns were.such as?
>>714180394Most of them are probably just DS2fags that will never get over that video.
>>714177280Baba is you is creative, this is just a puzzle game for logic cel autismos. It's literally just math homework. the only attempt he made it all to make it "fun" is to have generic bleep bloops when the bombs go off.
>>714182065>A lot of his boss / battle based complaints were not addressedI would say a lot of his boss complaints were completely vindicated. Fromsoft has somehow gotten worse at boss design with every new release.
>>714182383It all started with Bioshock infinite actually and his "this game doesn't say nigger enough" rank ( based)
He makes dumb people feel insecure for liking bad games, or thinking pseud games are smart.
Matt jumped the shark with the sonic dreams video though and stopped caring about the substance of a game in favor or "what it represent" or some gay shit.
>>714176043 (OP)I miss his videos
>A large chunk of Matt's videos are about graphically simple puzzle games
>/v/ loses their mind when he makes a graphically simple puzzle game
This board really is just ESL zoomers these days. Its clear most of you niggas just do not have the IQ to understand the nuance in Matt's opinions and what set his videos apart from every other YouTuber that tried to imitate him.
>>714182583Doesn't need to be pretty for me to have fun with logic games; the audience for it definitely doesn't give a shit
TIS-100 is how far you can go visually and still have it be engaging for us autismos
>>714182779>Matt jumped the shark with the sonic dreams video though and stopped caring about the substance of a game in favor or "what it represent" or some gay shit.I mean developer intent matters to some degree. Rain World is a shitty game unless you take developer intent into account. Same with BotW/TotK's inventory system.
>>714182932Same, I hope he streams with Wench again soon
>>714181871Autists tend to see things in black or white. Just a interesting fact to ponder while browsing the board
>>714176043 (OP)Pretentious hack.
>>714182656>Fromsoft has somehow gotten worse at boss design with every new release.A lot of Elden Ring bosses are 10x more elaborate and advanced than all of their previous games but that's the issue. They're not doing this because they want to design a good boss, they're doing this because they think players want challenge so they make enemies faster with arbitrary attack timings that are completely separated from the realism of the animation tell, give the enemies a ton of attack strings, and make their attack strings vary depending on player positioning. Add in some retarded input reading so players never feel like they have a safe time to heal and you got the DEFINITION of artificial difficulty. Most of the bosses are pure trial and error, there is no way to understand how attacks work or their attack variations without bashing your head against them dying multiple times until you finally have seen everything and understand the logic of it's flowchart.
>>714180146Mushido, or Pagodamonium
>>714183221Elden ring is actually just a bad game. it's a mess of stapled on dark souls gameplay an incoherent empty open world with terrible C team filler content.
Miyazaki himself said he doesn't know why it is selling. He's smart enough to know the game is actually just a mess. It should never have reused any souls assets. They did so just to save time and money.
>>714182779>and stopped caring about the substance of a game in favor or "what it represent" or some gay shit.Developer intent is always important, especially for understanding something better. I don't know why sonic dreams is supposed to be bad when it's obviously just a silly shitpost game.
You already see people in here getting all pissy about this game comparing it to better games or just going "UGH IT'S JUST A SHITTY SIMPLE GAME". They're setting their own expectations of what they think matt SHOULD make, instead of considering his real intentions. This isn't a case where some guy says he's going to make some super big grand and complex game and then shits out something middling. This is a guy who just wants to make some games and has been focusing on this because he knew it would be easier to finish than his other projects.
>>714176043 (OP)So it's Devilition x Minesweeper?
HALT!
YOU HAVE JUST ENTERED A WHITE MALE CHECKPOINT
USERS BELOW THIS POST WILL HEREAFTER BE CONSIDERED BROWN SKINNED ELDEN RING FANS
TO PASS THIS CHECKPOINT, PRESENT AN IMAGE OF YOUR CAUCASIAN HAND AND AN ORIGINAL PS3 COPY OF DEMON'S SOULS.
>>714177790the game is kino if you ignore the shitty minigames that interrupt the actual game
No joke I had no idea he was even making a game all this time
>>714183992They interrupt it a lot though. Those minigames aside I still don't think its that great. Very unique and very charming of course but not enjoyable enough for me.
>>714183882No, bro. You didn't get it, it's like picross on the nintendo wii u
>>714183638what a game represents =/= developer intent
representing something good =/= being good
>>714183915>original copy>bamco europoor rerelease
>>714183915I was 5 years old when that game came out.
>>714183563The gameplay is entirely different from Dark Souls unless you're retardedly reductive.
The open world is the opposite of incoherent.
>>714177697Speaking another language poorly doesn't make you multilingual.
>>714183915Why would anyone buy that shitty console for one game?
>>714178854Will watch LATER
>>714184895>The gameplay is entirely different from Dark Souls unless you're retardedly reductive.It literally copies souls exactly except for adding a dedicated jump button and guard counters. That's it.
New IP but instead of doing something more original/unique like Bloodborne they just copy DS3 to a t and add a jump button and call it a day.
Open world is one of the worst open worlds I have ever experienced, it's not just generic it's just outright bad and it betrays everything that made the souls worlds good in the first place.
>>714184895Fuck off retard. Go kill yourself immediately and never play a video game again. This shit is spoonfed to you now with dozens of youtube video essays. You have no excuse for being this underage, ignorant and unhanged.
>>714184895The open world is incoherent in that it's just empty space connecting areas they clearly didn't have any good ideas for. Open world combat is pointless and you just skip it. They don't hide anything on the fringes of the world. It serves no purpose other than wasting time.
>>714185385It doesn't copy DS1 at all.
Magic works entirely differently. The weapon arts system changes how melee works totally. Guard counters change the pace of combat greatly, like you said. An actually fairly decent stealth system makes PVE play out entirely differently. Bows and ranged combat in general got overhauled and change that entire aspect of the game. Etc.
Unless you're so reductive that you think every third person sword and board game is the same, you just don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
By this measure, a 3rd person Skyrim mod, makes it identical to Dark Souls.
Bloodborne is more similar to Dark Souls than Elden Ring is.
>>714185469>video essaysI prefer to have my own opinions instead of having some Mick who sucks at Souls games give it to me.
>>714185676The overworld adds context and meaning to areas and regions.
Liurnia of the Lakes wouldn't work if it wasn't an open world map where you could see how the region was divided up into regions and factions based on loyalties, or how the central city of the region was being swallowed up by the lake because of neglect and a lack of maintainence. Caelid wouldn't have half the impact if you didn't travel through the hellscape for minutes at a time, getting an actual feel for how bad the Rot was.
The open world more than pays itself off.
>>714185469>muh YouTubers told me what to thinkWho is supposed to be underaged?
>>714182656Retard, I was sayings MATS concerns were not addressed by Fromsoft.
There was only a single gimmick boss fight in all of Elden Ring (Snail bro was cool though).
>>714186140>I prefer to have my own opinions instead of having some Mick who sucks at Souls games give it to me.>>714186170Clearly you are too niggerbrained to actually make any correct deduction " muh opinion" is an objectively wrong though terminating cliche.
The only people upset at nebulous "youtubers" are retards who can't the the difference between between something insightful and something retarded. You hate youtubers People keep making fun of you for liking shitty games. All autistic youtubers do is make hours long videos confirming your biases to shut faggot morons like yourself killing the industry with your 70IQ takes up.
>>714183221the minesweeper guy just has skill issues. There's nothing wrong with assuming you're bad at a game.
>>714186140Why have you not killed yourself yet?
>it doesn't copy dark souls!!You stupid fucking nigger they literally copy pasted animations and AI behavior let alone the core gameplay and design. You are a complete fucking faggot. Elden ring should have been "souls inspired" like Sekiro ( if not entirely new) instead of trying and failing to adapt the gameplay to an open world.
>>714186707I dont hate YouTubers, I just form my own opinions about games and do not care what sperging autistic faggots like you think.
>>714186750Souls games after DS1 are bad and the 'skill issue' shit test has been repeatedly failed by millions of gamers desperate to prove themselves on the internet.
These threads always turn into Dark Souls arguments. That video really did break them.
he has been overspammed on /v/, but he's based for liking platinumslop and being one billion percent correct about souls combat and overemphasis on shitty bosses in later entries
>>714176043 (OP)This is literally minesweeper
I can play it on any PC by default.
>>714186140>It doesn't copy DS1 at all.so you're moving the goal posts. First it was "it doesn't copy dark souls" now you specify DS1. What a disingenuous faggot.
>Magic works entirely differently.No elaboration because you have no argument. It works exactly the same as DS3.
>The weapon arts system changes how melee works totallyNot at all, it works the same as DS3 except in ER you can swap out different arts, woah crazy change!!!
>Guard counters change the pace of combat greatly, like you said.Except shields are dogshit against the large majority of bosses without revolving your entire build around it and regular enemies are so easy there isn't a point in using a shield against most of them.
Not reading the rest of your post, you're jumping through hoops to justify you liking a dogshit game. Bet Elden Ring was your first souls game, even worse maybe you haven't even played any of the other souls games. ER is DS3 with jumping and Super Aids bosses
>>714187342DS1 is the most boring game in the series after DES. Which, honestly, is much more enjoyable than DS1 because it's shorter and less painful. Even before the second half, I was dreading my DS1 experience. Backtracking is boring and the game doesn't have enough content to make it more fun.
>>714187089> I just form my own opinions about gamesSo does everyone else. They just resonate with with others say, enjoy hearing points they may not have considered or fully thought out and are mature enough to adjust their "opinions" if light of new arguments and context.
Your opinions are wrong because you are an idiot so you hide from what everyone else has to say on the game.
>>714186707And Matthewmatosis, the guy that sucks at Souls games and doesn't know how the mechanics work, is not one to listen to when talking about them.
His opinions are shit, because he is shit.
>>714186936>reused animationsIrrelevant. Most games that are from large companies have reused assets and animations from older ones.
Rigging is an expensive and time-consuming procedure, and every decent dev reuses what he can when he can to cut costs and keep work flow up.
I already laid out how the core gameplay is significantly different, beyond you being a moron that is so reductive that you'd call any fantasy game identical, its impossible to say that.
>elden ring should have been more like this worse gameNo. Sekiro was a neat novelty, but its rhythm game nonsense is not very fun compared to a real ARPG like Elden Ring.
The gameplay is good. The world is good.
>>714186750He's streamed himself playing well on multiple games
>>714187823>And Matthewmatosis, the guy that sucks at Souls games and doesn't know how the mechanics workHe's posted playthroughs of DeS and DaS and is clearly a good player. Hidetaka Miyazaki is a washed up salaryman with no ideas left beyond 'what if Souls, but bigger and faster and flashier' and has been giving us that experience on repeat for the past decade.
>one single video is all it took to make fromdrones seethe for the rest of their lives
>more than an entire decade later and people are STILL making angry posts about it
Is it possible to learn this power?
>>714187643You have your brain poisoned by later titles.
DeS, DS1, and yes even DS2 are fun ADVENTURE games. While combat is a core aspect of gameplay, the combat is not "glorified" in a way that makes it out to be something more than it is. In all 3 of those games, the challenge of combat comes from facing enemies in various unique situations whether it be enemy placement, environmental hazards, the physical location itself (i.e. tight corridors). These games, like a real adventure game, keep you entertained with variety. This is why people who like the older games talk up the puzzle bosses because they're something DIFFERENT. You think it's boring that enemies have more unique designs and strategies in the older games? Well to me what's boring is having a dozen bosses whose only real difference is their attack patterns. What's boring is fighting several dozen repeat bosses. What's boring is fighting bosses that are literally rehashed movesets from their previous games.
You find the old games boring because you think the only thing that makes the souls series "interesting" is "difficult" bosses that are all about memorizing movesets through trial and error
>>714187527His most based that (probably the one people most disagree with him on too) is the one about cameras:
>The Wonderful 101 confronts the hard truth that controlling the camera is simply a boring task that we just accept because modern games have conditioned us to do so. Before the rise of the right analog stick, games were built with camera systems that didn't require constant babysitting and playing this is a stark reminder of just how good that can feel.
>>714180238>gets btfo'd by a bunch of autistic childrenThat's even more shameful
>>714187823>doesn't know how the mechanics workdude there's like one mechanic for defense (dodge) and one mechanic for offense (your basic attack string)
>>714187625>DS3The discussion started about Dark Souls, not DS3.
DS3 is significantly mechanically different from Dark Souls, and if it wasn't made by the same company, people would be reticent to call it 'identical'.
What Elden Ring does, is double down on the differentiating aspects of DS3, like enhancing the weapon arts to the point that they're actually game changing in this one. Changing the world design and how the player is able to approach combat encounters in a big way. And changing how the player actually perceives the world in a way that makes narrative elements more meaningful than ever before.
>shields are bad Total shitter opinion. Even with minimal investment, shields are good. And just leveling Endurance is enough to make them great. The Talisman is just a cherry on top.
I bet you also think that magic is overpowered too.
>>714188305He truly exposed the modern fromsoft fan
>>714187823>Sekiro was a neat novelty, but its rhythm game nonsensejust because you need to press a button on a timing more than usual doesn't make it anymore "rhythm nonsense"
>>714179905He already did. Everything he predicted in the lost soul arts video happened with elden ring.
>>714177280>intelligentDon't you mean creative?
>>714188305the best part is he literally says he still likes and enjoyed the game in the very beginning of the video
>>714177664What did you expect from a Zachtronics fetishist?
>>714188676Even somewhere in the video (I forget where exactly) he states that compared to other games in general it's good, just not compared to the Souls games before it.
>>714180394Really can't dislike the guy, it's a shame he stopped making videos. Hope he at least gets a bit of success with his game, but it doesn't feel likely given how basic it looks. Even in the niche genre of logic puzzle games, it looks niche.
>>714180394dark souls 2 attracts spics for the same reason guts and berserk so - they're all rape baby manlets with an addiction for humiliation and cuckoldry baked into their DNA, so hitching their wagon to garbage that they know will get them trashed by normal stable people is something they literally can't stop themselves from doing 24/7. that's why the lost soul arts vid gets hate from low iq monkeys.
>>714188341Yeah, he is right about cameras, but the TPS perspective is too cool to let go, it's also not that bad for me on mouse plus reset the camera bind.
Although it is pretty sick to move the camera around and set cool angles for certain actions during gameplay, don't know if he addressed that or not.
>>714180192Still the most intellectually dishonest, purposefully biased, ignorant and cherrypicked game critique ever made
>Demon's Souls has a gimmick boss where you have to hit a specific part>This is genius design>Dark Souls 3 has a gimmick boss where you have to hit a specific part>This is ignored, gotta push the narrative that every boss is Dancer >Demon's Souls can be defeated by spamming magic with every boss but that's ok. Also Phalanx is genius because it can be defeated spamming some firebombs which is all it takes to make an RPG.>Dark Souls 3 is structured for dozens of different builds that each access 3 different damage types at least through different means, and elemental weaknesses actually exist and bring different hit reactions. Gundyr second phase is meant to be fought using fire to bring stagger and then actively attacking, yet Dark Souls 3 is less of an RPG somehow>Dark Souls is genius because of the Silver Knight Anor Londo archers with arrows curve mid-flight>Dark Souls 3 is NOT genius for the Giant archer since the arrows curve mid-flight, despite allowing a mini-sidequest to befriend the Giant and have him assist you by tactically luring enemies in his sight.>Souls combat is bad and shallow for not having combos, despite even Demon's Souls meta being dual weapon combos and offhand rollcatches and the series consistently offering the ability to alternate and time attacks to extend hitstun>Souls PVP is bad because arena is bad, because I randomly decided that PVP is leaning on being dueling, even though Dark Souls 3 is the opposite and actually pushed in favour 2vs1 asymmetric invasions.
>>714188119He posted edited playthroughs of the games that were 'mid' at best, and relied mostly on having a ridiculous number of healing items to buoy himself.
Anyone can beat the game when they can just heal over and over again in a game where bosses are slow.
>>714182779>He makes dumb people feel insecure for liking bad games, or thinking pseud games are smart.This is why I wish he'd make a video on expedition 33. fuck every tourist monkey that's never played a game before that's latched onto that shit because their favourite youtube react channel pretended to cry over it.
>>714188676Yeah, up until Elden ring, the games were still perfectly enjoyable action RPGs, there just wasn't anything special or interesting about them.
I'm not really surprised. he has good insights but very odd ideas about games. he thinks TW101 has one of the best cameras in gaming because you don't control it, and he loves all those zachtronics games. it makes sense his own game would be something ultra minimalist with as much as possible except raw function stripped away. basically, it looks bad and I won't be playing, but hopefully he goes back to making videos once this is out of his system
>>714188881I pride myself in my elegant hands.
>>714189004Didn't read. I think you should stop playing video and talking about them games forever.
>>714189004no one is going to read a post defending dark souls 2/3
>>714189046Anyone with any aesthetic taste never touched that normie trend slop. It looks ugly and generic, I never even considered playing it. Surprised it apparently isn't aggressive with the DEI Woke shit either.
>>714189004shan't be reading all that
>>714188324>adventure gamesElden Ring is an adventure game too. And it is a very good one.
Souls games have always been about the combat. That is why most of DeS and DS1 are long hallways or disguised long hallways where you fight a gauntlet of enemies.
They're not exploration games where you wander alien environments and the main focus is on the world rather than any denizens of it. They're games about grinding through a series of difficult enemies on the way to the next checkpoint. They'll always be that, and if anything Elden Ring lets you avoid more than you used to, because the player is far more mobile than he was in older titles.
DeS is the only one more than a single substantial puzzle boss, and no one liked any of them.
It was also the game with Old King Doran, which was a huge test of player skill and entirely was a combat challenge. And King Allant, who again, was everyone's favorite boss and a total combat challenge.
>>714189004Good post, it's sad detractors are unwilling to engage with it out of fear.
>>714189004Your arguments are cherry picked stuff too?
You are able to see and understand big picture arguments, right?

A good part of Souls games is that you can dicate the pace of the fight with bosses, and Sekiro takes that player autonomy away from you.

>>714189004You're absolutely correct here.
Matt is the kind of player to be unable to engage with a game that doesn't explicitly tell him what to do, so when later games expect you to figure things out on your own, he's filtered, hard.

People who started with Dark Souls 1 and still like it the most really think they're special lol. Don't worry, people who started with Demon's Souls. I didn't forget about you. The same goes for you, of course.
>>714177664Kek that's what I thought when I went through it. It instantly has this "reading from a script for a video" tone to it. I even imagined his voice alongside it.
>>714189419>Elden Ring is an adventure game too. And it is a very good one.Elden Ring is dozens of empty fields scattered with boring repeated enemies that aren't worth fighting. The entire scope of the open world is MASSIVE but there is hardly anything interesting to find there. The majority of the rewards you find in the world will be irrelevant to you because of how the build/RPG stuff works. This works in dark souls because those games are fairly short overall and there's a larger ratio of items that could be relevant. Elden Rings world again is so massive but if you try to explore very nook and cranny you'll soon realize that a lot of stuff you find is pointless and fighting repeated enemies, bosses, and same-y looking areas ruins the magic of exploration. Any thing interesting you find that isn't necessarily loot related is undermined by how exhaustively large the world is and how pointless most other things are.
It's easy to not focus too hard on builds in the previous games because the games aren't particularly hard in the first place. In Elden Ring the balance of the game is all over the place and when you engage in some content you'll either feel severely underleveled or severely overleveled ESPECIALLY if you try and do everything you can on a first playthrough. That's not to mention how much content is locked off without knowing very specific ways to get into it but still knowing they exist because of the maps and such, which pushes players to go on wikis to figure out how to get here or there or where to find x item to access y location when it's not found immediately.
There's a lot more to say but at it's basic level ER is way way too big and too much of the content is repetitive and boring to make up for it. It fails as an open world, it fails as a souls game.

>This is genius designIt's good design, yes. Pretending anyone is calling it genius is building it up so it can be more easily torn down, a strawman.
>Dark Souls 3 has a gimmick boss where you have to hit a specific part>This is ignored, gotta push the narrative that every boss is DancerOne boss with this gimmick in a game where there are 19+ bosses most of which involve pressing dodge at the right time is ignored because this is the exception rather than the rule.
I'm sorry if you can't see how that post is disingenuous, but it is. It's cherry picking, it's reductive, it's slimy. Starting off by accusing someone of doing the shit that is then done in the same post has no purpose other than attention-whoring for (You)s.

Nightreign really is the Fromslop flanderization at critical mass. It's hilarious.
>>714177664That's kind of the appeal of logic games anon.
Shit like this isn't made for the mainstream, it will never get popular, it will only appeal to a few dozen autistic dudes.
>>714190935BB > DS3 > DS1 > ER > DeS > DS2
That's the order I played and DS2 is last because I trusted everyone who said it was shit but guess what. My ranking is actually in exact release order. DS2 is only hated because people had very high expectations because of DS1 and DS2 failed to live up to that but in it's place you still have a fun adventure game that actually tries to give the player something interesting and tries to innovate or expand upon systems, some of them are interesting, some of them suck but i'd rather it try to do different things than directly copy DS1 and that's exactly why DS3 is so dogshit, it's a game that's run out of ideas while simultaneously trying to push the series more into "action" territory while completely failing at making the combat more complex or interesting for the player itself
I can't believe that people take seriously the guy that said :" if you ignore damage, range , speed , damage type, weight, and stun buildup then every weapon is the same !!!"
Truly one of the stupidest things I've ever heard in a review.
>>714191407>We can tell because he didn't understand Demon's Souls and Dark Souls at allAnd what makes you think you do.
>>714180160>It's a fucking puzzle game. How are you supposed to make it sound "exciting"?By putting in things that surround the puzzles. Aesthetics, music, surprises, maybe a story.
This game is only for people that enjoy shit like variant sudoku.
>>714191952He's actually played action games unlike souls cels.
>>714191023By scale all Souls games have plenty of enemies that aren't worth the fight. That goes for almost any action game.
If you weren't gated off, there'd be no reason to fight most mobs in a game like God of War (ps2) or any DMC or Bayonetta game. In Bethesda games its the same. In DeS/DS1, there's no reason to fight most mobs, either, and running past them is standard for any repeat playthroughs.
That is just how any high spectacle action games are. The chaff is just there for friction, rather than being real challenges.
While you can only ever use a subset of loot, Elden Ring has the opposite of a MAD problem.
Having multiple stat focuses is by far the best way to play the game and much of the best gear or weapons has split requirements so you're encouraged to pump levels outside of your main build and experience a larger breadth of the game. A typical half-completionist player will get to the end game at around level 100-130, which gives you enough stat points to really do anything you want in the game.
Elden Ring is more difficult, but there are multiple directions to cracking the difficulty open, so pretty much any build can do so.
This is why having so much excess loot pays off, because unless you focused entirely on Holy damage, you're never in a place where you can't find something to put the bosses in their place.
>>714189004you lost and got raped, hbombertranny
>>714191229It's always the same complaints of โ'muh difficultyโ' when the problem is that at least in NG1. The game becomes very easy if you level up and if you're not a complete newbie to the series. And the world is shallow, but that has more to do with the From design philosophy.
>>714191615Just letting you know beforehand that you shouldn't expect any real replies because people who suck off later souls games aren't here to have genuine discussions and will either ignore your post or move goal posts and try to derail the discussion into something else.
Good effort post that is ultimately wasted.
>>714192028I know what he meant... still an 90iq point.
>>714180160>It's a fucking puzzle game. How are you supposed to make it sound "exciting"?>No Nonsense>There are no secrets, meta puzzles or other distractions. Focus on what's logical.Maybe there should have been "Nonsense".
Even Zachtronic games relish in their "Nonsense".
>>714190935dark souls 1 has a sense of adventure that no other souls game has been able to replicate
>>714191297Demon's Souls is handholdy and makes it extremely obvious how you're meant to do every puzzle boss.
>>714192013And there's something wrong with that? Are you upset that he didn't make a game that is meant to appeal to you?
>>714191823I saw it with shadow of the erdtree desu. So much of the content there was so bad I can't believe it wasn't cut. The whole point of Elden ring was to just throw all the low quality leftovers into the game to have content in your open world. You can tell they just don't give a shit.
>>714191297One that plays through Demon's Souls and doesn't understand it's a combat focused, PVPVE centric series, even in spite of its infancy and somewhat nebulous early draft, is someone that barely engaged with as little mechanics as possible
>>714191615>This is reductive, Demon's Souls has MULTIPLE gimmick bosses with DIFFERENT GIMMICKS, one being hitting a specific part, one being grabbing a special weapon and using its special ability (that can't be used elsewhere), one being a boss with clones that can be countered by taking care of a mob beforehand, one where the actual boss does nothing but has an NPC guarding it, several with different unique weaknesses (blindness, weakness to an item scattered throughout the level) et cetera et fucking cetera. And Dark Souls 3 has many others. Ancient Wyvern being a gauntlet with some obstacle course that is a far better version of Bed of Chaos, Yhorm and Stormruler, Crystal Sage teleporting away and casting at an enemy not in a boss arena but in a large, open, vertical level, fighting a multi-boss fight where you can have enemies aggro each other, and even fighting a giant Skeleton Lord that will use various aoe and force you to either hack at his face up close or hit his 3 weakpoints, lest you'll get cornered in a sort of huge corridor where you literally fight to content space and push the boss under.
You and Matthewmatosis both ignore all those because you are disingenuous faggots with a clear agenda.
>in a game where there are 19+ bosses most of which involve pressing dodge at the right timeNone of the "normal" bosses are the same. This is another disingenuous argument. All those bosses hace different lingering hitboxes, combos, area of effect, different resistances and thresholds to stagger and being staggered.
You don't like that Souls games and combat centric ARPG games and decide to be a reductive faggot to bring down the discussion and avoid dealing with the facts

>>714192805I did think the endlessly looping chiptune rendition of โMy Little Armaliteโ playing over the whole game was a little much.
>>714192283Handhold-y would be before fighting phalanx in the first real level, the game tells you "he's weak to fire! use firebombs and turpentine to defeat him quickly"! But all the game does to hint you towards that is dropping a bunch of firebombs and turpentine throughout the level, which already work well against normal mobs.
You're used to the way souls games work now and more games have adopted this approach of not telling the player exactly what to do but back then, this wasn't the case. Specifically in that console generation is when a lot of games were doing very heavy tutorialization and handholding for the player. Souls style of dropping the player and expecting them to look around and observe and figure stuff out on their own was special. There's a lot of stuff in DS1 that the player can completely miss if they aren't paying attention or hear it from other people, painted world being the biggest.

>>714193185>A weapon does not require the game to be played completely differently to be considered "different".yeah, they do. Real games use different weapons to deal with different encounters, the weapons do different things, they aren't just hitting the enemy with slightly different ranges and at slight different speeds ( that hardly even impact when and what you can punish)
Souls weapons are primarily aestetic in nature.
>>714189004Put me in the screencap

>>714193571What does this webm prove. you can do all of that with literally any webm. You didn't even use a unique weapon art or anything. You're using the most basic dodge attack or jump attack gameplay that everyone does??
>>714180846This is pretty accurate.
To put it more concisely; it's totally fair to be extra critical of an armchair quarterback.
It's fair to criticize a restaurant critic for not being able to cook, and so on. When people make a living criticizing others, it's fair to see them get criticized. I consider that a flat, neutral, fair, easily justifiable point of view.
>>714193771So how are those weapons different from one another in a way that Souls games weapons aren't?
How are Halo or Doom weapons different in a way that Souls games ones aren't?
Please be specific.
>>714193781whoa... what if attacks, but delayed?
>>714193781>omg omg this boss you like, ummm, you roll and then you, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, you roll again and then roll more!!!!! then you hit it a few times XD
>>714193767I used the exact same criteria that mat used for the souls, but obviously it doesn't work because mat's criteria are RETARDED.
>>714193740>I do think From's boss design is garbageBecause you are ignorant and retarded, and if you had the balls you would post your gameplay to back up your words
>>714193669This is a false equivalency as these games are played in a different context, some weapons are just inferior because they are cheaper / obtained earlier.
All the weapons in hitscan shooters ARE pretty much the same desu. You essentially just have grenade, sniper, machine gun and shotgun.
>>714192429>None of the "normal" bosses are the same. This is another disingenuous argument. All those bosses hace different lingering hitboxes, combos, area of effect, different resistances and thresholds to stagger and being staggered.The only thing all of that changes is the timing at which you press the dodge button and how often you do so. People complain about Sekiro being a rhythm game but Dark Souls is unironically no different.
Armored Spider is arguably more unique than any of those because having to run back into the tunnel to escape the fire is more novel than pressing the dodge button at a different timing.
Nobody is saying these bosses are exactly the same, the point of contention is that solving them (i.e. pressing the dodge button at weird timings and attacking during openings) is.
>>714193869>you can do all of that with literally any webmOnce again you have proven that every criticism of Elden Ring comes from someone ignorant of the game mechanics.
>>714178160Maybe I'm just a simp but I feel like Matthew is one of the only authentic people among these, he was doing it before it was really a thing and the others had this all these slick production values, couldn't shake the sense it was a low-effort grift
>>714193992>The only thing all of that changes is the timingWrong
>>714193141>Demon Souls cultists on this board are trash at videogames that were filtered hard with DS3 fast gameplay, and they have to cope somehow.If the DeS cultists are anything like myself, it's the opposite. DeS lovers usually pick Knight for the first playthroughs as the good ol' sword and board. If you do this in DaS3, which I did, then you use one of the most broken weapon types in the series and mow through every single boss without any meaningful resistance
>>714194003>filteredI beat her literally first try on my first playthrough, it's just another boss you roll and punish
>>714193920Why would you attempt to rebut me by posting a boss infamous for being able to cancel out of stagger animations?

>>714180394People used to like him here, he used to come by and chat even. Once any eceleb gets popular enough though people turn on them on principle.
>>714193908Guns are mechanically different from weapons in a melee weapon. There's a lot of stuff that can be done, very easily mind you, to make weapons distinct in a shooter and it doesn't have to have ANYTHING to do with enemy design.
In a melee based game, weapon design has to match the enemy design. If you have weapons that make enemies all behave the exact same when hit, then the only thing that matters is range and damage. That's boring. This is why souls combat is not interesting
>>714194170I accept your concession.
>>714193141it amazes me you faggots actually think people dislike the direction souls games went in because "dark souls 3 is too hard for dem"
You're so good at video games dude. You beat an RPG with an attack button and a roll button.
>>714178160this applies to fags like gamingbrit rather than Matt
>>714194329>he used to come by and chat evenWell that explains it. He made this thread to shill himself.
>>714194335>If you have weapons that make enemies all behave the exact same when hit,We are talking hypoteticals about a game that doesn't exist or are you so ignorant of Souls games that you are claiming a mace, a sword, a greatsword and a sagger are the same?

>>714194071You're ignorant because you're providing no real argument, you're just posting webms of extremely mediocre gameplay and pretending it somehow makes an argument for you.
>>714194323One thing I've learned with Soulsdrones is they simply cannot comprehend language like normal people can. When I say a boss interacts with a specific mechanic in a specific way, if they sense that I am praising the game they will understand every word I mean, but if they sense I am critiquing the game they will start chanting 'git gud' like a soulless sycophant and deliberately not understand what was just said.

>>714187517it's funny desu
I've never played a from game myself but I liked matt's other videos and entering these threads is just fromland
>>714194396Dont lie to yourself, its one of the main reasons people hate the newer Souls games, especially around here.
>You're so good at video games dude. You beat an RPG with an attack button and a roll button.Thanks!
>>714194617The fact that you're so ignorant of the game's mechanics that you can't tell what's happening just by looking only proves my point. You're just as ignorant and vocal as the eceleb you worship. Stay that way.
>>714194703Souls games have bosses that dodge or counter with hyperarmor out of hitstun since Dark Souls 3, with Friede being a clear example. And before that in Dark Souls certain enemies had iframe dodges
Malenia filters retards like you that mash attacks
>>714194329No fucking way lmao
tardtosis fans are legit braindamaged
>>714182656>I would say a lot of his boss complaints were completely vindicatedOnly by SoTE
Base game ER bosses are perfectly fine, delayed tells are the same as normal tells if you're not a retard and can learn when the delays are coming, it's the same patternistic learning you apply elsewhere
>>714178854>The DOES ANYONE HAPPEN TO KNOW HOW A BILL GETS PASSED IN THE SENATE? bit. Fucking hell it gets me every year
>>714176834Dark souls was made by 100 people with an average experience of 10-20 years. one guy can only do so much. first games are rougher. it's only natural.
>>714194703>fake misinformation videoSo this is where you retards get your information from, instead of just playing the game like everyone else. No wonder you seethe so much lmao.
>>714194745>no i doesn'tYes it does. This is how good games are designed at a fundamental level. This is how bad games are made. DS3 and Elden Ring fail as good action games because the player movesets and enemy movesets are at opposite ends. Enemies are faster, more mobile, and have many more attacks than the players own moveset, so while the enemy has a lot of ways to interact with you all you have is dodge, jump, sometimes block, and some very basic swings that don't actually interact with the enemy
>>714194978You're an autistic low IQ manchild. It's amazing something as simple as video games is so hard to discuss with you brain damaged, emotionally stunted gaymers.

I'm gonna be honest anyone who doesn't realize Elden Ring is a bad game is just a dumb casual. They aren't worth talking to. They don't ever use their brain.
>>714195021>If I abuse enemy AI with unnatural gameplay and already know that the dogshit enemy teleports behind me it's my win even though it's trash cheap design for anyone on their first playthrough(95% of players)hang yourself from cultist.
>>714195287>What's wrong with thisNothing at all, you're completely right. That anon is just bad at games and making excuses for it. You also have good taste in manga.
A puzzle game is exactly the type of game that a sperg like Matthew would make (aka someone whose critical horizon begins and ends with a reductive view of what theoretical "perfection" aka lack of flaws is)
>It's essential that we as a society, recognize the hardships trans people have to go through everyday, and help them in any way we can.I will not keep silent about my support for trans rights

When you make an action game you can either put the most of complexity/power on the enemies or on the PC. 1 method is not better than the other.
you and mat just prefer when the PC power and possibility are high but that not a universal design rule.
Your taste aren't universal.
>>714195115>delayed tells are the same as normal tells if you're not a retard and can learn when the delays are coming, it's the same patternistic learning you apply elsewheretrvke
>>714195545literally the opposite of Matthews videos from the last half decade. This is how Joseph anderson reviews.
Matthew is actually on the far opposite end of the spectrum to the point of being useless for practicality. His BOTW video is "I like the idea of this game" rather than any real analysis into the execution. ( which was a failure)
>>714195306Can you do that with knives? Surely you can since all weapons play thebsane right?
>>714194703Malenia is way more fair than enemies that are basically impossible to stagger like the Crucible Knights.
>>714195734>tasteThought terminating clichรฉ. You're just and idiot. sensible People have a "taste" for every type of good game and a distaste for every shitty game.
>>714195209>DS3 and Elden Ring fail as good action gamesSays who? It seems they are doing great to me
>>714195287>Also like, you can first try, very little in ER is unreactableAbsolutely not. ER throws the rules of animation out of the window. When an enemy starts an animation, tehre is absolutely no way to tell if it will follow conventional rules of animation if the enemy will delay the attack an arbitrary amount or even worse, the attack will come out faster than expected. You also can't react to most attack strings, some attacks will have unintuitive lingering hitboxes as well.
You did not dodge every attack of every boss on your first try. No one does that because the animations are not designed for you to reasonably react to them on a first try. It's only on repeated fights that you are matching the animation with a LEARNED timing to be able to dodge it correctly, you aren't timing your dodge with when you reasonably believe the animation to be hit. You also get the occasional shitbags like this that clip through the wall.

>>714189004your ds3 fanboyism tunnels your vision and you fail to see that in DeS more bosses were on the gimmick/puzzle side, in ds3 this is one of the very few bosses next to the 30 more uninspired "learn the string and dodge 5 times, then punish" fags
>>714196075>Thought terminating clichรฉ>You're just and idiot. sensible People have a "taste" for every type of good game and a distaste for every shitty game.you really don't see the irony in what you are typing huh?

>>714196201The shield one you warp to through the Belfries has turned me into his little bitch and I can't break his fucking poise to save my life.
>>714196115Well this is mostly wrong to begin with because if you wait and don't panic you can react to the vast majority of attacks even if they're delayed since the actual swing is still fully reactable within the reasonable 0.25 second window of average human reflex, BUT-
>It's only on repeated fights that you are matching the animation with a LEARNED timing to be able to dodge it correctlyYeah even if this is 100% true, so?
I see it once, I get hit once, I understand.

I don't like ER because they put sekiro enemies in a game that's not sekiro, your moveset does not match the pace of the enemies. If you put ER in a game where the player had just as many abilities as the boss then the bosses would actually be fun to fight, probably. But they aren't because despite ER being an original IP they decided the player should play exactly like a dark souls 3 character resulting in extremely boring rollspam fights where the only skill is the boring trial and error of learning the enemies moveset
This should be on the Playdate. Why does steam have game boy games, that's not what a pc is for

>>714189004Demon's Souls hipsters are the worst case of terminal contrarianism I've ever seen, a bunch frustrated midwits that have to lash at the latest popular thing because it makes them feel intelligent. You can tell their praise of that game is entirely disingenuous and based on nostalgia by the way a lot of them don't recognize that Estus was a unambiguous improvement over the grass system.
>>714197018true lmao, environments of ds3 were so boring

>>714197080Grass is fine because it splits your resources. It's good for an RPG, obviously like anything else you can grind, but it's supposed to choose levels or healing.
Bloodborne did it best. Estus in dark souls is overtuned. you can hold 20 of them. it's also more of an action game. Which demon's souls isn't. Demon's souls is a dungeon crawler.

>>714197580How do you get filtered by such an easy boss like Maliketh. I genuinely don't get it.
>stand underneath him and all of his attacks miss and then he dies in 30 seconds: the boss
>>714176043 (OP)It's a nonogram game? I like those but I need a narrative because my standards got raised.
>>714197080Demons Souls works more than any other souls game because it's the shortest while having the most variety.
It's a far cry from elden shart which has an obscenely bloated play time that has no worth, especially since you can cut your play time by over half if you just choose to not engage with most side areas.
>>714176043 (OP)How much will he charge for it?
>>714197635yeah and their riches are probably worth as much as an only fan's whore

>>714189004Notice how there's no retort against this, just people seething
>>714196012just parry them lmao. they have the cleanest wind ups and attacks of every er enemy.
>>714197983Hey, don't talk about his sister like that.
>>714197580Shadow of the Erdtree was bad in a lot of ways, but I think what defines its failures is that it repeatedly goes out of its way not to take risks. The bosses are mostly bad, but they're mostly bad in the most generic, unimaginative way possible. They're all just huge spectacles that exist to show off animations and make the player die, none of them bring any cool mechanics or gimmicks to the forefront. PCR is the pinnacle of this incredibly mid design, and the lore holding him up being completely fucking atrocious and slapped together is just the icing on the cake.
I think everyone sensed the epic basedfacing Fromsoft was hoping for from streamers because "OMG guys it's RADAHN" but that just didn't happen.
>>714197987shenzhen i/o is more about the meta economics
exapunks is more about being based
same for the ASM game, it's nothing like opus magnum
>>714197080>Estus was a unambiguous improvement over the grass systemDepends on the developer's intent. If you want to allow players to brute force then grass is unambiguously better.
If you want a more standardized experience between all players and better balancing from bonfire to bonfire then estus is better.
I'm a DeS fangay but I think the estus system is better. DaS2 tried to have it both ways and it sucked, and DaS3/ER allowing you to interchange mana and life resources via cerulean flasks is great since it means players can be more aggressive with skills/magic.
>>714197373They all have flaws
Grass on 99x is broken
Estus is broken with kindling (and hummies)
Vials are 20 from the fucking get go, only balanced around boss encounters.
Flasks can reach 14 if you want to go full health
Gourds from sekiro are probably the best balanced, but the others are broken so that shitters can go for max and have a chance, you know, adaptive difficulty and all that, you dont have to farm for grass and vials and you dont have to kindle or allocate all flasks to health.
>>714179413Why did he take it down? Was one of my faves.
>>714198173The first thing I found in the DLC was the Berserk reference onions boss and thought " how did this make it into the game? this is lame"
The rest of the DLC was just as lame. I ended up dropping it out of boredom.
>>714178854Boring episode desu I didnt laugh once
>>714197802Variety is not necessarily a good thing, anyonw who played bayo and remember all the retarded shit can tell you that.
>>714198173>Shadow of the Erdtree was bad in a lot of waysIt wasn't
>PCR is A boss that doesn't input read, adapt to player position and has much of the nuance Elden Ring bosses have. It's a boss designed around not being overwhelmed in coop, and purely by coicindence of this it panders to all the shitters who complained about Elden Ring bosses
>The bosses are mostly badThey aren't
>the lore holding him up being completely fucking atrocious and slapped together is just the icing on the cake. >
>I think everyone sensed the epic basedfacing Fromsoft was hoping for from streamers because "OMG guys it's RADAHN" but that just didn't happen.Miyazaki has never given the SLIGHTEST fuck about what player expected and wanted. Consort Radahn was written long before Elden Ring even released and you can tell. They didn't change that despite the overwhelming and wrong Godwyn theories spread even by Vaatividya because you can actually see the overwhelming evidence that hints at that now and that many couldn't pick up
>>714198173>OMG guys it's RADAHNi bet you 90% of people who played the game and didn't engage in discussions about it have no clue who the fuck radahn even and don't know that they fought it before. Writing in this game is not worth engaging with.
>>714198605Is that why SotE is rated far lower by people who can't even understand Vaati's lore videos?
>>714198173Fromsoftware doesn't care what people want. It has been 13 years of the community being wrong at guessing DLC final bosses
>check thread
>no spam mitosis post
>>714198327the most aspie 1% of the lets play fanbase were still mad about it after 7 years, so he took it down and now they're even more mad because they still want to seethe about it
>>714198795I was just gonna say
>>714198795Most of the webm links are dead.
>>714198605My only complaint about the DLC is that most bosses had a baseline 80 poise in the base game (Margit, Morgott, Malenia, Crucible Knights etc), but they bumped that up to 120 for some reason.
>>714198605>Miyazaki has never given the SLIGHTEST fuck about what player expected and wanted.>>714198786>Fromsoftware doesn't care what people want.
>>714192891I think he's been working on and off on like 4 or 5 different games since he "quit" making videos
this is just the only one he actually finished
>>714198173>tldr: I'm butthurt From contradicted my lore headcanon
>>714198730I don't give a fuck about ratings and neither should Fromsoftware. If you don't understand how to fight Elden Ring bosses you should leave a bad review and fuck off to more streamlined and prescribed non-controversial games.
We had "Mixed" releases for every single Souls game since forever
>>714198131I thought you were gonna bring up a puzzle game with a cool narrative....
>>714176043 (OP)Holy fuck that trailer is awful.
>>714198880They should bump up the base game bosses
>>714198954A skin in the multiplayer centric fast paced ARPG game created solely because the director wanted to make it and that clawed itself out of negative reception as most played multiplayer game of the year. Really emblematic of how based Fromsoftware is.
>>714176043 (OP)Based, looking forward to picking it up. It's very sovlful that Matt became one of the best known videogames critics on youtube and gave it up simply because he got bored and wanted to try making his own games too.
>>714198478DeS is an adventure game and it's not deep, so variety suits the game a LOT. Something that the later games lack.
Bayonetta gameplay is like 80% fast paced combat with a lot of moves and enemies with a good amount of attacks with a good scoring system to boot so when you get mini-game sections that have nothing to do with that core gameplay then it becomes distractingly bad and annoying.
>>714180394I hate him because i wish he stuck to what hes actually good at and made more youtube content instead of becoming yet another indieshit shovelware dev.
The videos that made elden ring haters seethe.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDhoDThUIHc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkgpRrBXNiw
>>714198478>>714199396There's a difference between the "variety" you two are talking about. The variety in Demon's Souls is variety of combat scenarios. The variety in Bayonetta is a variety of random shit that takes you out of combat. Pretty big fuckin thing you should acknowledge.
He's racist so I'll support his game.
>>714198730Imagine thinking a bunch of chinks and retards filtered by Dancing Lion leaving a bad review is bad for the game

I think he was making a metroidvania or some shit.
>>714199060>>714199830Not him but it was bad because it was full of empty fields picking up flowers and other time wasting garbage, like the main game but even worse somehow, not because of bosses.
>>714195626> hit her twice with a hammer > she gets stunned> try to punish her again with 2 hits by same opening > randomly gets punished by waterfowl danceits shit design, I get they want her to be a superboss but shit like that is stupid no matter how you try to justify it

The sudden activity in the thread made me think he actually showed up.
Is Matt now officially /v/ideogames?
>>714201029when he makes a /v/ideogame, yeah
when it's used to just bait souls-seethe, nah
>>714176043 (OP)ufo50 did it first
Why do the high iq autists always end up making puzzle games despite that not being their original intention? both of Matt's previous project attempts were action games, and Jonathan Blow also seems to originally have wanted to make an adventure game with combat and stuff. Now he's 3 games into making the most elaborate Puzzle games on the market
>>714201029Always has been

>>714201452No bro you don't understand a sokoban with anime tits and epic metagaming could only be created by a genius
>>714202606You don't have to worry about animations, visuals, physics. Rules are clearly designed. Once you program how the game works that's that. All that's left is actually designing the puzzles
