@xyfdi
Doom Eternal is 4 years old
Soulslikes are never good
TotK is a mid DLC for BotW with bootleg gmod attached
Baldur's Gate 3 is compromised
Infinite Wealth is compromised
Persona 3 is compromised and a remake
Final Fantasy XVI is a mid Game of Thrones wannabe with literally no gameplay
no idea about Xenoblade Chronicles 3 but heard it was mid too
that leaves only Mario
so yeah, the corner guy is right

@tomie @xyfdi i struggle to say that soulslikes are never good because i think it completely clashes with the kind of game i enjoy and it's hard for me to adequately judge it. at least elden ring and sekiro, which seem to be a bit of a departure and make me feel like there is something more of merit there than just "this game is ballbutts hard and you suck if you think it's bad."

also i didn't play it a whole lot, but i did enjoy the time i played lies of p. i think it's probably among the best of the "soulslikes" and that is partly because it doesn't follow them beat-for-beat. so you may have a point there. they're almost intentionally bad, so that people can wear their completed save file as an achievement of some sort lol.

i was gonna say, i think the xenoblade chronicles games got worse as time went on. i've never played them but i have heard that the original is still the best. and that anything else in the series is hard to get into.

also who tf made this meme and didn't put any indie or AA games on here lol.

>they're almost intentionally bad, so that people can wear their completed save file as an achievement of some sort lol.

It's the exact opposite, they go very far towards helping you win, you just have to pay attention

>explore under some crates
>find the undead merchant
>buy a cheap key
>unlock a door that gets you gold pine resin
>boss 5 steps away is very weak to lightning
>earned a satisfying win

vs

>dont explore, dont upgrade your equipment, dont change your equipment for different scenarios, dont use the full moveset per weapon, dont strategise with the enemies like luring them for 1v1s, dont use consumables, dont interact with npcs or invaders to get summons, dont go to a different area if it is too hard, etc, etc
>why is this so hard, this is not fun!

@applejack @beardalaxy @xyfdi if I ever want to do obscure undefined tasks thru obtaining obscure undefined shit I'll just go and try to apply for tax deduction or some other highly bureaucratic stuff
and if someone reuploaded a random guy playing a game just in order to lowkey bully him, this says nothing good neither about the game nor the fandom

@tomie @beardalaxy @xyfdi You're not really listening, and you don't seem to know who DSP is

Like I said, the game helps you out in what you need to do, how to do it, and gives you the tools for it. It just does not hold your hand. It's the peak of this sort of design

DPS has tutorial messages directly tell him what to do, button prompts on the screen, item descriptions, he ignores them, he does not interact with the NPCs or pay attention to his surroundings, so he has no idea how anything works, where to go, or what to do, so he has a miserable time, and HE BLAMES THE GAME FOR IT, he is the iconic example of why people think the game is hard, and he is by far more toxic than the people making supercuts (as well as a kinda crap person overall)

He is iconic as the lowest common denominator that needs to be accounted for, which Dark Souls is a bit too high of a bar for:
