I’m way late to seeing this but
what if I told you the Rare Replay version turns JFG from “we shoved questionable gunplay into a collectathon platformer with a sketchy framerate” to “actually this is just a third person shooter with light metroidvaviasearch-adventure elements”
somehow, a second analog stick and not having your crosshair recenter makes the game a million times more enjoyable
you still have to 100% it though
I hope Microsoft ports this to PC because I’d love to play that.
I hope they never touch it again because they accidentally left the Nintendo 64 banners on the racetrack at Mizar’s Palace and I want those to stay in
I honestly think Sekiro is a bad game, and my opinion about a game has never been so far off from both the mainstream AND my friends. It’s obviously a ‘me’ thing.
But good god I really dislike that game
Don’t @ me
I think I’m being contrary in at least three other places on here right now but you know I’m with you
ur both wrong but i also returned it
There was so much heated discussion that it showed me, pretty clearly from some specific personal climates, why it could be considered bad!
It mostly boils down to what I will compare with, yes the Soulsborne stuff - for their unflinching demands on the player, even when off putting they have that slower breadth of options available, trial and error, sense of discovery and exploration.
As I put it Sekiro is like “the blade that doesn’t care”
It wants you to get good at handling it the way it wants, and if that grip/hilt and sword dance + aesthetic don’t click something fierce, it does very little else to reward your time or frustration. It kinda just throws everything else to the wayside.
I’m ready to defend any Mario 3 level! Here’s maps of all of them.
i thought sekiro was fantastic despite major souls fatigue and finding myself extremely put off by the “it’s too hard; no it’s not” thread
I want you to record audio commentary for every level.
(I think basically every SMB3 level is good too)
I don’t hate Soulsbourne games but I kinda hate people who love Soulsbourne games because I’m tired of hearing “the game is so demanding, you just gotta play it the way the game wants you to” (especially since I’ve said it a few times myself, ugh), does that count for this thread.
As for games I actually hate, I don’t hate that many games, but Borderlands as a series has got to be up there. Truly atrocious games imo
I should stop talking about Sekiro, it’s a can of worms and I hate worms
Actually I can’t remember which levels I don’t really like, but what would you say is the weakest example and how would you defend it?
In other words, you do all the work
(I’ll play it again soon I’m sure then I’ll have more to say)
This keeps happening even though I swear to god I’m not trying to stir up shit
let’s stop talking about souls and all talk about how much borderlands sucks
I just deleted some posts, everyone try harder
i have never even once thought about borderlands oh no my streak
Borderlands is the kind of game I love to get depressed to.
It’s the #1 game (well maybe after WoW back in the day) that I’ve had to tell so many friends it was not my bag, or one I would try on.
I mean I played a couple hours of Borderlands 1, but knew it would not be a place I wanted to spend much more time.
Hell yeah
All the guns feel awful. They have the right sound effects, but the firing effects and animations are weightless to the point of complete disconnection.
Shooting enemies is annoying and boring. most enemies are bullet sponges without hit reacts even when you shoot their critical spot.
Itemization is AWFUL. There’s some cool gun archetypes, like throwing on reload to make a grenade, but none of them have any interesting effects or synergies. You only start feeling cool and good playing the game once you get end-game legendaries (STOP DOING THIS DESIGNERS)
And good lord the story. Love to be face to face with caricatures who deliver stilted edgy-joke dialogue that tells me to kill X guys in Y area.
It’s an amalgam of everything that frustrates me about ARPGs, without the good stuff
