If your game needs to lock/slow down player movement by animations, it isn't "hard".

Hard games retain free movement while being difficult by creativity.

Yep I agree

What are you talking about?

>>715307582
I'm talking about the maps and how dark souls uses them to stop you from moving about freely. They put things like bridges and corners that force you to walk around them instead of letting me move freely towards the enemy. Another example would be the floors and roofs which artificially create "rooms" when combined with walls.

>>715307769
So the game should take place inside an empty void instead of having level design?

>>715307879
Yes. A flat, open plain with no obstacles.

>>715307879
No, they would fill the "void" with enemies for me to fight, not emptiness. Give me combat and complex action, not "Walls" "floors" "bridges" and "corners". A fake world is never going to be believable.

gee how surprising.

>>715307582
I'm talking about how consoleshit that the Dark Souls is uses animation-driven, cinematic movment to create artificial "difficulty"

You just exposed yourself as having brown skin. Nothing you say can be taken seriously from this point on. This thread will die soon.

>>715308181
Why are you so desperate to argue with someone?

>>715307769
Fuck off retard.

Any examples of games that do what you like?

>>715308382
The only validation he gets is from arguing with random people online.

>>715308367
You love transgendermals for the same reason you love soulsslop. Because your favorite streamer told you too and you think it's trendy. but owning a saarnimal is proof enough that you are the brown here.

Lacking empathy for animals is a patently non-white trait.

>>715308581
You literally worship cows in your home country, and bathe in goat piss as a holy ritual. You are fooling anyone tranimal fucker.

>>715308439
How about a game where you push forward and left and your characters does exactly that?
And not waiting as it slowly gains momentum then wait another 2 years as it rotates to the left

>>715308714
The Souls games have tank controls?

>>715307481 (OP)
Is it really so hard to understand that the point of these game is to make it feel like you’re a knight carrying a bunch of heavy equipment? That’s why it controls that way. It’s supposed to have weight, and they designed the challenge around timing and commitment. Why are there always these retarded posts that think every action game needs to be DMC? Can’t things be different sometimes?

>>715308714
that's exactly what souls games do though. they don't even have momentum based movement. your character just instantly twitches to whatever direction you point the stick in.

>>715308339
>game has animations

>>715307481 (OP)
None of these games are hard and all of them have pretty free movment.

>>715308860
They have animation based movement
When you move forward it goes fine, but when you abruptly add some different direction you have to watch the animation play, before it finally obeys

I don't know, play some classic pc games like Rune
fast, instant reaction to your every whim, none of that cinematic shit

>>715309243
>add some different direction you have to watch the animation play, before it finally obeys
Those last a quarter of a second. It practically is instantaneous

What’s this genre of person that thinks every game needs zippy instantaneous control like an NES game to be good?

>>715307481 (OP)
If your game needs it's bosses to fly across the arena and throw out long winded combos then it's dogshit.
