Even if I was the greatest Dark Souls player in the universe, I'd still hate it.

The argument from skill has to be the stupidest shit I've ever heard.

Rage quitting at the tutorial =/= playing the game.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

If the tutorial gave me no reason to continue playing... then, there you go. The game gave me no reason to continue playing.

What I learned about the game is that the game is about getting fucked over in one way or another. So, yeah, wow, way to completely disincentivize the entire game for me. I don't get catharsis from finally beating some big fucking cocksucker after my fiftieth try. All I get from that is, "Wow, that was a massive waste of my time." And I only get two things for all my efforts: Jack and shit; and Jack left town.

The game appears to be difficult for the sake of being difficult. That's not intelligent game design.

Are you seriously trying to tell me that if I didn't "suck at Dark Souls", I'd like it?

No, I think you're just another upset fanboy. Girl. Whatever the fuck you are.
You're just sad that someone's bad-talking your favorite game.  :'(

Gonna be honest though, this really doesn't seem like a game for you. Too challenging.
Yeah, "too challenging," even though my main gripes have nothing to do with the challenge and all to do with the cheap tricks. Being tricked into doing something isn't a challenge. At all.

Look, I'm not insulting you. I'm not on the bandwagon of DS being a benchmark for who's good at video games (who even gives a shit about that?). A 10 year old could master Dark Souls by playing it and learning enough.

I'm saying that it seems like the challenges aren't suited to your preferences. If a single trap message bothered you to the point of quitting the game, I can tell that the rest of the game is going to be far worse. The messages aren't even an issue; after the first trap with the boulder it becomes painfully obvious when people are just joking around, and let me tell you that everyone gets hit by the boulder. It's an important part of the tutorial. It's not that you're not "good enough" for the game, it's that the game constantly presents new challenges that take you far out of your comfort zone.

At the end of the day, if it's not fun then don't play it.


Also, Das Boot, no the combat definitely isn't "roll, stab, repeat". Each individual enemy has its own strategy. Yeah some of them are as simple as rolling and stabbing but the game has a tendency to murder you repeatedly as soon as you get into a comfortable strategy.

No you're just upset that you couldn't get through a tutorial of a game and are throwing a temper tantrum. Maybe you should stick to simpler games like Spyro if challenges upset you.

...The big thing? No. Do you even have a sword at that point? You're just supposed to run away from it. Apparently there was a hint that told you to just run away from it, but I never read that--I just knew that I wasn't gonna be able to fight it.

but no inuitive game design is too much for dark souls

we gotta have these messages that tell you precisely what to do (and sometimes they trick you into doing things because LOL I TROL U LELELEL)

Your fucking sadistic, shitty, insane idea of fun should be outlawed, yeah. It shouldn't be funny tricking players into doing stupid shit for your own entertainment or gain.

And that's what Dark Souls is about.

Keep pretending like it's just me whining because I'm not "good" at the game, even though I haven't played nearly enough of it to determine any amount of skill.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.

The game appears to be difficult for the sake of being difficult.
Didn't we have a long conversation with Aria when she was first trying to get you to play it about how Hidetaka Miyazaki designed Demon's Souls the way it is for self-gratification because he was a massochist?
Dark's the same way.

If your stupid enough to jump off of a ledge because a message told you to do it then you're the retarded one.
Why the fuck do you take video games so seriously?

And no, that's not what DS is about.

Right. That's basically been on my mind for this whole discussion, but whereas Aria appeared to have somewhat of a justification for the game's stupid shitteries, these guys are just... braindead.

Simple mistakes are for simple people.

Whether or not the player is gullible enough to fall for the trap is irrelevant.

It's the principle of giving player's the ability to deliberately trick people at all that I despise.
