Gaming-related forums have opened my eyes to there apparently being thousands of people across all titles and genres who totally lack the threshold for "well whatever, it's a video game" and are just completely unable to let things go.

Video games are perfectly worth taking seriously, just, y'know, not in the way a whole lot of people do. The amount of energy people waste getting angry about how someone plays Dark Souls and whether or not they summon help or not is baffling to me.

A lot of it is not so much being angry as "i am better at video games therefore i am a better person" as well. Mental health awareness.

Nothin' wrong with i-frames and superarmor as defensive tools.

Did you try out the Nioh demo? It's much less about dodging i-frames and it was really fun.

I really loving wish that wasn't time limited, I played that demo way too damned much.

Although I think I was running out of things to do after I killed boss 2 without getting hit, using only hammers on low stance.

It was a very successful demo, in that it got me hyped for a game that I was only vaguely interested in before.

I hope it comes out this year as planned and isn't delayed :ohdear:

Well, I see it is business as usual in the Games Chat Thread. I haven't been playing many games lately, but I'm still very very slowly getting through Bravely Second. Really, I'm just updating my moon village and then closing the 3DS again until I open it again. Bravely Second: Moon Village Simulator.

This is cool, but how many 80s retrowave racing games do we really need? Its almost turning into a genre at this point.

Well, there's Drift Stage and there's Power Drive 2000 and then there's uninspired trash that pretends to be Outrun for some reason, but fails to capture any of the vast number of things that make Outrun good.
