I think it would be a good thing if more people exited the gaming hobby.

castrate zoomers

Games have been like that since forever

The older I get the more teh realization hits on why we keep seeing things like communism and why reboots are still a thing instead of new IPs. The past basically doesnt exist to the previous generation. These are people that were born with Fortnite, and are still playing Fortnite, we will never understand them.

are you also crying about most vidya doors you can't just kick open?

Shut the fuck up fetus.

>>725087150
Yeah and Jill was holding a knife, but for some reason she needed to go and find a lighter and also lighter fluid to burn it instead of just using her knife to cut some old ass rope

Games have always been like this.

I don't think an axe is good at breaking a metal chain

>>725087150
just climb the gate, dumbfuck

>>725087150
you ever tried to axe a chain?

>>725087748
Let me axe you sumthin

>>725087263
nta, but more games should let you make your own key and or door with the tools its already provided you.

Ironic.

>>725086810 (OP)
you know despite this happening pretty frequently in the medium there's very few times where it has actually taken me out of the experience. off the top of my head there's the infamous dark souls 2 pile of rubble forcing you to fight the strongest beings in the land to circumvent, and any ledge in the new God of Wars that Kratos could easily jump up. I think my brain just accepts the nonsense in any survival horror context because genre tropes

You break the lock off with the blunt side of the axe. Why are you so physically inept.

Best thing about Deus Ex if you don't have a key you can just blow up the fucking door

???

>>725089384
What shitty fucking locks are you using that can be busted open by a teenage girl using an axe.

>>725089412
Doesn't KOTOR also use this mechanic? You can just melee the shit out of a door or container until you break the lock.

>>725087737
I wouldnt be able to climb that. no im not fat. just a weak nerd.

>>725086810 (OP)
I got stuck on a lost in the fog puzzle in this game and I'm walled, which is a good thing. I love looking at a screenshot or note of the clues in bed and thinking about it.

>>725089384
I'll need to see the lockpicking lawyer video about this before I can make a judgement call.

>>725087309
Surely this is a gag?

>>725089384
You don't even need video game logic here, Silent Hill logic will prevent you from doing that.

I really thought this post on r/Steam referred to game keys, as in 'key reseller sites',
as in "games are so fucking expensive that I need to resort to key reseller sites instead of Steam"
but I'm just dumb.

>>725086810 (OP)
Nah, modern gaming equivalent would be:
>"I need a key... maybe I can check the well in the courtyard"
>NEW MISSION: CHECK THE WELL IN THE COURTYARD
>Bigass arrow pointing you to the well in case you forgot where it was during the last five minutes.
>Want to explore a bit, hear "I better go to that well, I really need to get that key." every two minutes.

>>725091036
yeah except the puzzles on fog are nonsense

>>725086810 (OP)
Shit like this pisses me off to no end when a game puts you in a life or death situation... just fucking climb over ffs

Or you can kill whoever has it, or you can lock pick it, or bait whoever is inside that room to open it.

>>725099890
Terminally online zoomers parrotting terminally online boomers opinions. The worst of both worlds.

>>725089384
Games were designed for those losers way of thinking. It's pretty obvious videogames are for the low IQ when this many people jumped on OP making a real, honest claim.

>>725087309
I don't think you fully understand why this thread was made

>>725087737
>climb the gate which causes a noise that attracts enemies you have to fight off vs. explore the area further to quietly proceed
this is genius i literally thought it out in like 5 secs this should be a thing in horror games

>>725100293
>grab a rock
>throw it far away to distract enemies, luring them further away from you.
>climb
bruh...

>>725100481
can't do, the enemies spawn after you climb the gate and they circle you and chase you and u have to kill them...

you can't kick open most doors

>>725087748
so? its a vidya gayme.
Have you ever shot a lock with a gun? 100% chance of success in games, IRL it wont do anything but you will be most likely struck by shrapnel or rebounding metal. The bullet will crumple before the lock does and the resulting shards are most likely going to kill you for trying
youd be better off shooting the door itself and seperating the lock from it.
and yet, in games, its basically the go-to solution, because games arent real.

>>725086810 (OP)
I wish more games would reward players for thinking outside the box.
Like if you can't open a door without a key, but you have a gun or a melee weapon strong enough to break the handle, lock or door itself then you can open it, even if it skips content, let the player do it and make it work somehow.
Don't have a knife to cut a piece of shitty tape? jam something else and peal it by force.
Can't jump over something cause...well you just can't. Well stack something and jump over it.
Can't reach a key without tongs? fucking use something else, you can make it, you stupid bitch.

Obviously it's more work for something that might not be discovered by most, but it would still be cool option for those that can figure it out or for future playthroughs

>>725093051sage
it's possible, but such a lack of self-awareness isn't especially uncommon for bethesda- especially within fallout 3.

>>725087263
only important doors

>>725101026
sounds good on paper but youve put zero thought into this, so the monkeys paw will fuck you, this always ends badly
>the dev spends time autistically thinking of "out of the box" skips
>if the dev misses literally anything, you get complaints of inconsistency
>if the dev misses nothing, then 70% of the dev time is spent on the same content working in different solutions to one area or puzzle, ergo making the game feel short and also being irrelevant to people who only needed one solution then move on
>the dev still wants to be paid for their time, so the game feels overpriced
>"but muh replay value" doesnt work because no one cares that you can skip even MORE content by doing some thing you didnt consider once
>90% of the devs efforts will be wasted as 90% of the player base wont even discover the autism they went through

why bother? just get the key.

>>725087748
If you're fighting for your life, it wouldn't hurt to try. Trying it on the shitty fence works too. You can just try multiple options before giving up to look for a key in a hellish nightmare dimension.

>>725101026

>the dev spends time autistically thinking of "out of the box" skips
see below
>if the dev misses literally anything, you get complaints of inconsistency
who cares, should be obvious it's for main path stuff, not every door.
>if the dev misses nothing, then 70% of the dev time is spent on the same content working in different solutions to one area or puzzle, ergo making the game feel short and also being irrelevant to people who only needed one solution then move on
see above
>the dev still wants to be paid for their time, so the game feels overpriced
don't care
>"but muh replay value" doesnt work because no one cares that you can skip even MORE content by doing some thing you didnt consider once
arguing with yourself
>90% of the devs efforts will be wasted as 90% of the player base wont even discover the autism they went through
if I ignore all the people who love exploring, experimenting, speedrunners, role playing, content creators, replayers, 100%ters, atmosphere fags, etc, etc, etc, now your point makes sense.
>why bother? just get the key.
The key can be different things, like her axe, or tongs.

>>725101310
call it whatever you want if that makes you happy.

>>725101765
That's what they're called. People bitch about the name but nobody has thought up a new one that has caught on yet

>>725087116
The difference is that she can climb that and hop to other side >>725086810 (OP)

Yours is completely locked

>>725087024
really?

unfathomably based

>>725089384
>duuuude just break the lock with the sheer force your 16 year old female arms
huh

>>725103747
I sledgehammer shit for a living it's the funny how people think they can just break anything no sweat

>>725100256
Engagement bait for retards who want spout memes and partake in artificial outrage over asinine shit?

>>725103839
I learned this the hard way when a sledgehammer rebounded and the rod smacked me in the face and cracked my skull, at least it wasnt the metal head I guess.
I think these people are the same sort that think a samurai sword will cut through anything, even brick and metal, and should they ever get hold of one, they will be in the hospital soon after as shards of their shitty sword implant themselves in their flesh because they tried to slice through some steel.

The real retarded moment was when Hinako and the other 2 approach a locked gate that can easily be climbed in a *cutscene* and decided to search for a key.

>>725088867
Isn't this the one door that can't even be interacted with? I always wondered if there was an unfinished area behind there.

Don't brag about being a retard and use it as a I'm smarter than others moment

>>725086810 (OP)
Lead by example.

>>725087748
I did but it never responded

>>725087116
If I made a survival horror, I would subvert all expectations and allow player to climb over the fence and such. There would be consequences for doing so, like a sprained ankle upon landing if you fail the unexpected QTE.
