And this convinced him that games aren't waste of time? Boomers and their lead poisoning.

i started watching it thinking it was going to be really impressive to see how someone learns how to beat the game. but by the end i realized he just put on the heaviest armor and brute forced everything.

Wish my dad was this active/cool and willing to try new things and learn desu

He mostly just watches television/sport and complains about politics pretending to be an expert on everything

But isn't that was most players do anyways?
If anything, him being capable of process the logic of "brute forcing", is well enough for a brainlet boomer

Did he actually though? Remember your parents played barbie with you when you were a kid. They didn't actually enjoy it.

Did you watch the vid? What did that dad learn? The fact that it's just same gameplay with without learning anything just makes it come off as a cheap clickbait "hey look dad plays video game! :D", and it worked because he got so many views from it.

he's not even a gamer, those kinda of people can barely remember what to press without looking down at the controller. maybe he could do a normal playthrough in a year of getting used to the controller.

The old man is just a more extreme example of the same thing, people blaming the player for breaking the game instead of the game for being broken.

You are thinking the opposite. Parents did things they don't like for me. I do things I don't like for them instead of forcing my hobbies on them.

I just think it's boring and I want people to have fun PLAYING the game, not just from the 2 second dopamine rush they get after defeating a boss.

remind me how many basic inputs you have as a driver? and how far apart they are?

I started controller gaming late so I remember it took me a while to get a grip on stick aiming in shooting games. but I wasn't 60.

as opposed to brute forcing everything by rolling
or brute forcing everything by parry+visceral
whats the argument here exactly? he didnt play le right way? this boomer was blocking with a two hander making him instantly more based than 99% of the playerbase.

It's like trying to figure out the answer instead of guessing until you get it right. Both will eventually move you forward but what's really the point anyway.

Why would i spend 2 hours dying to a boss over and over again when instead i could spend that time grinding and then one shot the boss easily?

my argument is that he barely knew how to play the game by the end. He stood still facing the boss hitting attack, trading blows, while struggling to press the estus flask in time. The video seemed interesting when it was sold to me as an old guy learning to play a hard game for the first time. But by the end it was clear he had been instructed how to beat the game in the easiest way possible by only pressing pressing attack, with absolutely zero clue what was happening around him.

You just unlocked a memory of my friend and me beating it for the SNES nearly 30 years ago. I remember dying on the last boss and he clutched it and it was fucking sick.

But I don't like being reminded that I'm old as fuck now bro, you unzipped me you bloody bitch basterds I 'll never forgive you for this transgression.

I will never understand what makes people lose their minds the way they do when someone plays a game differently.
At least competitive team fags have a reason to sperg out but anyone playing those is aware that following the meta is more about etiquette than performance.

I came into this thread to comment on this, but... I never attended "driving lessons" in Montgomery, AL. In fact, at age 15, my parents brought me to the county office, got a "driver's permit" (for, like, $40) and then I had a license to drive (on my own) for the rest of my life. I just pay annual registration fees (~$30) and occasional license renewals (~$100 every 6+ years) and that's it. If anything, I motherfucking pay, like, $140 a MONTH in INSURANCE for my driving... only because I HAVE TO PROVE I have insurance when registering it. For me, my driving is impeccable, and I loathe the fact I've paid over $20k in insurance costs in me 23 years of driving when I've NEVER caused accident or violated any law. Hell, my insurance didn't even cover the THREE TIMES my window was shattered from vandalism, and I had to pay out of pocket.

I really, really, really think idiots shouldn't drive.
