i stop by my friend's place from time to time and play it while he watches. he's never done a souls game before and it's really easy to impress him with gun parries and poo poo.

my old roommate had never gamed ever and wanted to try it out after watching me play so much so we gave him Shadow of the Colossus and it took him 3 hours to beat the first colossus. That was kind of excrutiating and he didnt enjoy it, cest la vie

As awesome as Shadow of the Collossus is, I feel like it really sucks rear end for a first game, because it basically requires you to already understand PS2 platformer games to enjoy it. IMO.

Every time I think I'm gonna play EVE again I boot it up and start the tutorial and think "man This is gonna kick rear end when I know what everything does" then after about an hour I just kinda uninstall it

The minimalist UI and game aspects I thought would be a nice introduction, since it's not like you have to be flipping through menus and stat pages and junk, and there's only 2 meters to worry about. But really, in retrospect, I should have booted up Super Mario World

I encountered a similar feel today playing R.A.D.: Robot Alchemic Drive, but instead of a baffling GUI it was a baffling control scheme that I'm starting to get a grasp on.

I remember thinking the demo for RAD was freaking unbelievable but never seeked out the game itself.
