General Gaming Man, Dark Souls really ruined action games huh

As a gamer, I am entitled to tell devs how they are wrong. -
General Gaming Man, Dark Souls really ruined action games huh
Bacon replied to stepee's topic in The Spawn Point
And here is a good example of why I am not a fan of difficulty modes. A few months ago I was playing the FF4 3D remake on PC. There was a hard and normal mode and I don't recall the DS version that I played having those options. So, thinking that normal was the same as the DS difficulty and that Hard was an added difficulty for mobile and PC, like a master quest version, I just picked normal to get he experience I had on the DS. Well, it turns out, Hard is the DS difficulty, not normal. And that bothered me. I ended up dropping the game. I was 10+hours in and I didn't want to restart nor did I want to continue playing on easy. -

Oh, that is totally a good path. I don't thing I have ever came out against accessibility options, but if I had then I have changed my mind. Like, all those options in GoW didn't bother me. I would have liked GoW to have 1 difficulty tho and build the game around that. I don't think difficulty options are the same a accessibility. At least when it comes to making the game harder. -

That and the open world, the lack of real boss, the lack of real dungeons, i miss having an arsenal of items, climbing became tiresome after leaving the starting area, I miss the non-ambient music, I don't like Link's default outfit not being the classic tunic and cap, and Link should go back to being left handed. Oh and the very poor performance. At least at launch. Also wasn't a fan of crafting, or the Ubi towers, or all the extra gear, or how you couldn't have max hearts and stamina and having max stamina is far more important. -

I find games without difficulty options to feel better and just be games I like a lot. Both Zelda and Dark Souls have no difficulty options and I love both(not botw). And while I don't think DS should add difficulty modes, easy mode isn't really the issue. I want to play on the developer intended difficulty. Anything below normal isn't that. The real issue is when you have like 2-3 difficulties above normal and when you play normal it feels too easy and when you play hard or higher you can't tell if shit is like "wow is hard supposed to be this hard/this easy." I don't want a "that's right for me" difficulty. I want a baseline. If its hard I hope to cover come it, and if it is too easy then damn, I'm just that good. -
PC Astlibra: Revision - 2D JRPG Metroidvania you didn't know you needed
Bacon replied to Mr.Vic20's topic in The Spawn Point
OK, I figured that might be the case, but it also sounded like it could be making the spell stronger for an extra cost. -

Bacon replied to Mr.Vic20's topic in The Spawn Point
@Mr.Vic20 help I'm in the grow menu and I don't have enough Grains? Force? to unlock this magic spell but when I clicked yes anyway, I got a menu that asks, "Do you want to spent 3 times as much to get the most force?" and I have no idea what this means other than spending 3x of something. -

PC Astlibra: Revision - 2D JRPG Metroidvania you didn't know you needed
Bacon replied to Mr.Vic20's topic in The Spawn Point
@Mr.Vic20 MAN I was like WTF is happening AHHH So, I had never played the demo. Watched videos tho. But when I went to play a "new game" it asked if I would like to play the Demo first. I thought, oh, it must be a tutorial. And it was, but then suddenly I was like talking to all these NPCs and I fucking bought Masamune from some guy. I had all these weapons and armor. People were welcoming me back. It didn't even occur to me that being level thirty was not normal. I was fighting all this shit, and then the demo ended and I was like, "ooooooh." But like, how da game gonna ask me if I wanna play the demo first when I got the full game. I was hella confused. Pretty fuckin fun demo tho -

I just had to know what it tastes like personally. I didn't think for one second I would like the soda or those peeps, but I wanted to taste them. I felt the need to know how bad they really tasted. I'm not even really a peeps guy. Loved'em when I was a kid, but no so much now. Tho, the cotton candy peeps are good.

You get used to it if you don't hear any real people speak, or play another game, or do anything else involving real people voices.

I generally hate nights in video games. I get it, being dark is realistic, but I'd rather see the game, thanks. While nowhere nearly as dark, in Fallout/TES I rarely play during the game's night hours and tend to wait until early morning. In FFXIV, so many cutscenes are just not adapted well for night or even weather.
