Besides Portal (1&2) and maybe The Witness, I really think most puzzle games are underappreciated.

Gamers who love Souls-like or other games where you die a lot, do they still make you ragey?

179 Upvotes

Like scream at your screen, smash your keyboard crazy?
I just read about an accomplished souls-like player who spent 16 hours and died 100's of time beating a boss in Lies of P. I can't do that. No sir. I want to have fun gaming, not get frustrated and angry.
To a person, you all speak about the big sense of accomplishment when you finally beat a boss, but why do you put yourself through that to get there?
This is not a slam on you, I'm just interested to hear is all.

Is it just me, or does it feel like the “console war” was almost gone and suddenly came back?

Upvotes

I frankly always thought the console wars was dumb, just play where your friends are that’s probably the biggest factor of choosing a console.

However, I have noticed that after the initial few years of the PS4/Xbox generation, this discourse really died down. I really didn’t see a ton of debating or fighting for some time. Everyone was excited for cross play coming to gaming and uniting everyone. The idea of crossplay was unheard of, it was a pipe dream that I could play with all my friends. When it came out, also at the time it felt like there was a lot more friendly competition between developers and console makers. The new consoles came out and there really wasn’t a big measuring contest at least compared with the PS4 and Xbox One.

Then the past couple of years it suddenly started showing up again. Xbox buying companies, PlayStation buying others seemingly in return, and suddenly the population of trolls and “console fanboys” seemed to skyrocket.

I won’t say which side I’m on because I’m really not on one. Both companies buying up studios really isn’t good for anyone. I’m sure the last thing the consumers need is for every major game studio to be owned by just a few companies, who are much more likely to axe anything that isn’t in line with everything else.
