Topic: Unpopular Gaming Opinions

I had a larger point, but my only real point is I know how difficult game dev is, so while accessibility and difficulty options are cool, it's never gonna be a deal breaker for me (unless the game itself is not for me, which is fine).

Hard modes and tougher extra "to get to 100%" challenges are the norm for Kirby. Even the original in 1992.

I need Easy Mode for every games I have never before played especially games like Ratchet & Clank. Not everyone want to show off to other peoples by playing in Hard Mode. I can play DDR until the hardest level since I devoted to the games and keep practicing over than 18 years but still I need easier mode to balance the gameplay.

@Losermagnet Yep, got the true ending, and then did all of the grim troupe. I love grims boss fight, it feels so much like an actual dance, its great! 10/10 game, and now i'm on the silksong waiting list. If I ever get dark souls, I will make sure you know.

@Sunsy Whenever I buy something, I i'm heavy into looking how it plays, whats worth it, how it preforms, all of it before I buy it. Probably why I haven't hated to many of the games that I played, unless it a day one buy.

@Pizzamorg to be fair, I actually don't think they know its you, they read voids post and just gave there thoughts on whoever it was, because they didn't even say your name, but hey maybe I'm wrong, I have no idea LOL.

Wii Music was such an underrated Mii games on Wii.
Wii Music was one of the best Mii games on Wii as you can make your own Custom Jam from available songs with your own style and your own speed. This is a game that perfectly for me who have interest in arts and like to experiment in creating something. But too bad, a lot of peoples don't really appreciate Wii Music.

@Losermagnet
Also, we haven't get more upcoming Switch games that utilize Infra Red sensor from Right Joy Con. Guess some peoples do not like and appreciate something unique and just want something too mainstream and really boring stuffs.
And... I voted for ARMS 2 than Splatoon 3 as I prefer the underdog or unpopular things but still have great quality. Peoples just too comfort with mainstream things.

@Anti-Matter Liking things just because they are NOT popular is the exactly the same as liking things just because they are popular.

@Zuljaras Thank you, dang someone needed to say it.

@Snatcher I think i'm gonna pick it back up before Silksong comes out. I got the standard ending and it felt like there was so much more that I missed.

@Anti-Matter I personally don't have much interest in motion control as a selling point, but I don't have a problem with games that want to do creative things with it. Just depends on how it's integrated. I'm really surprised about HD rumble though. That got heavy advertisement and it's used in like 2 or 3 games. The PS5's adaptive triggers reminded me of it.

And fwiw, about Pizzamorg - I mean them no ill will but I know from experience how that discussion goes. We're better off agreeing to disagree because nothing will come of it anyway.

@Losermagnet Glad to see that you are still preaching the truth about the game mate, haha.

@Snatcher I really hope that you try the franchise one day. Dark Souls isn't as difficult as people make out to be, and it's a really different experience from many games. Even it's accesibility (online, communication and in a way difficulty) are hidden though the game's mechanics which make it really immersive and not compatible with the accesibility that other games have. For example. instead of just selecting to "play online", you put a sign to be invoked. Just as any other game is not for everyone, but there's a reason why many gamers, regardless of it's abilities, enjoy it. Don't let people convince you that it's some kind of "hardcore"experience because it really isn't. The game pretty much punishes people that don't learn and do the same things over and over and once you realize it it's like some kind of barrier is destroyed and the illusion of a "hardcore experience"disappears. It's world is easily one of the most engaging and it's challenge is fair and really balanced for the most part.

@Losermagnet When you say standard ending, do you mean The hollow knight, or Radiance? because if not, the dream nail is your next destination.

Thing is, Arms sold 2 million copies, which really isn't bad for a fighting game that was a new IP in the first few months of the Switch's lifespan. Not to mention that Ring Fit Adventure has been a huge success, so I'm not sure why Nintendo isn't experimenting more with new game ideas at the moment.

@roy130390 So its a learning experience? I love those! I love hard games, so if it was stupid hard, I would Enjoy it even more, as long as its the fair kind of hard.

@Dogorilla
I have some ideas for ARMS 2 and Boxing games by general as I have experienced from K-1 games and Street Fighter games on PS2, I can share my ideas including my Chibi Boxer design to Nintendo if they interested with my ideas but you know.... Nintendo will not listen the ideas from strangers.

@Snatcher Yup, in that regard it's similar to Megaman games and Metroid Dread. You can feel that a stage and bosses are too strong but you suddenly realize that there's many telegraphed attacks and open moments or that you aren't using properly a certain mechanic. Dark Souls is pretty much a matter of checking your stamina and giving priority to evade and block as well as taking your time with each enemy. Remember Snatcher's fight in a Hat in Time? Most bosses give that sensation of overcoming a good challenge and it's the kind of game in which people usually progress and perform better with each try. Also, you can compensate certain things. For example, if your reflexes aren't the best try a tank build. If you have trouble approaching enemies, use magic and miracles. If a boss is just too hard for you and you want to progress, just invoke someone and do it together.

@roy130390
Have you ever played Megaman Network Transmission?
That game was damn hard for me even on the first level as someone who have never played Megaman games before. I felt pissed off for keep getting Game Over for unable beating the first Boss.
Megaman 11 was way easier when I got unlimited life and some assist from Newcomer Mode but the Stage design and Boss attack pattern still as hard as older Megaman games.
I generally never like hard games just only to show off "Be hardcore or don't even play the games like noob". Not everyone like to feel the pain from playing hard games.

@roy130390 Oh my god it sounds like everything I love about games, I and going to give it a try one day, Just know my friend, you sold me on it!

"Remember Snatcher's fight in a Hat in Time?" Do I remember? I breath that fight, I love that fight so much, A hat in time is up there in my all time favorite games of all time.

And you also reminded me, I need to buy the megaman collections, never played any of them.

@Anti-Matter "I generally never like hard games just only to show off "Be hardcore or don't even play the games like noob". Maybe people just find it fun you know, because I do it because its fun.

While Anti is for sure generalising and I am sure there are plenty who just love a good challenge - myself included for some genres. But he isn't entirely off base. The amount of people complaining about their trophies (?!!?!?!?) with the Sifu difficulty announcement on Twitter bordered on parody. This idea that game completion shouldn't just be "handed out" like this isn't a medium of entertainment and I dunno, some sort of work promotion.

Next time you watch a movie, I am gonna pause it every five minutes for a knowledge check. Don't pass? You're gonna have to watch those five minutes again until you do, buddy. What, you just want to watch to the end? We aren't handing that out here.

Bearing in mind too, they were replying to a Tweet by someone who is legally blind and therefore has time for your Git Gud *****.

Like if you enjoy challenge, that is cool with me. But if your life is so hollow, you need PlayStation trophies to validate yourself and become genuinely terrified that somehow that is taken away by including an easy mode, then game difficulties are the least of your problems.

@Pizzamorg Wait I don't understand, What happend? something with Trophy's? I don't know the whole story.
