The Games forum is about learned helplessness in video games.

I actually think it's like a FOMO insecurity. So much of goon culture is about figuring out how to get Optimal Enjoyment out every single food, product, and activity, so trying a new game without knowing that is anxiety-provoking. Basically they need someone to say "got the Hunter Axe? Great. Now throw that poo poo away!" before they start playing.

Is it the cane whip? Because that's the best weapon in the game :colbert:

I still haven't cleared Bloodborne and I think it's both a shame I haven't experienced it and I'm happy that I still have unexplored sections of it.

there's this one part in City Shrouded with Shadow where it makes you move a couple boxes with a forklift to progress and the path-critical boxes all trigger cuts that automatically move/shift the boxes for you because if you try to lift anything manually it'll vibrate through the floor or your forklift will launch into the air and kill you for no reason

it's also a souls thing in general, it's one of those series that has so many secrets and great content you can miss (BB MUCH less so) so people just can't resist screaming OH AND BEFORE YOU GO HERE

i remember watching wormskull playing ds3 for the first time and randos kept coming in the chat trying to tell him exactly what to do, constantly lol

If you like Disaster Report then yeah, the conceit is new but it plays just like all the other games except with even more jank - it runs like poo poo, the load times are bad and there are constant cuts everywhere, the camera still sucks, etc. I wouldn't care except that it would drop to 5FPS during QTEs and kill me because my inputs were disappearing.

My main problem with it is it doesn't branch the way the main games do - in those there are multiple endings and you can influence the direction of the plot and your character depending on your choices but in this one it's pretty much just mad libs and it doesn't matter what you say or how you manage the relationship with the sidekick. It's still fun and all the choices and optional missions are as dumb as they ever were, it's just not replayable in the same way.

the only important bloodborne tip is that you get unique light and strong attacks out of backsteps (neutral stick + circle)

not that its important to beating it, but fighting stylishly is half the fun

Always watch several lets plays, read the trophy guide prior to playing, and bone up on the IGN reviews. THEN start gaming.

theres some nice obscure games in there though that havent had HD remasters or ports, intelligent qube, super puzzle fighter, rrt4 which isnt obscure among racing game fans but probably is for general players, and i heard syphon filter was supposed to be good too. not that it really matters since nobody is buying them just to play the games it comes with

No analog sticks = no ape escape. Tomba would have been great though and any of the Square games you mentioned (or just Parasite Eve for the US version) would have been an improvement. Also yeah Twisted Metal sucks rear end compared to Twisted Metal 2

My friends are achievement/trophy whores who systematically 100% the game and never touch them again. It’s the most joyless process I’ve seen anyone put themselves through.

I feel the whole package is a bait and switch. Who wants to play the console port of the original rainbow six? It’s aged so poorly and is only related to the modern series by name alone.

The jp list looks better but still misses some easy wins
