So games that you can spam combos lack depth, got it.
no

games that offer no incentive to do anything else but spam combos lack depth, other than "c'mon it's FUN!!!!" which isn't an incentive at all unless you think of games as stupid entertainment instead of art
What's wrong with entertainment?
we have enough of it

pure entertainment is piss-useless, and it's probably toxic for the brain

it's better to inject it with something that can actually be used in life, and HnS games have always been notoriously bad at that
What do you use in life that you gleaned from Street fighter?
patience, discipline
determination
problem solving
how to take a loss

practicing combos helps with memory, dexterity, creativity, and critical thinking

the game also has a strong social aspect, feeds my thirst for competition, and gives me something to strive to get better at


Competition is wrong tho

aside from social competition, which is debatable, yeah, pretty much
Speed runs drive that competitive urge.
it's also a completely different way to play the game, certainly not intended

Devil may cry, when played "correctly", functions as a fighting game. There are combos that are more effective on certain enemies, critical thinking and fast reflects are key to chaining combos.

It can be made easy by changing the difficulty and leveling up, but you aren't forced to make these changes. I honestly wouldn't consider it hack and slash like I would dynasty niggas.

Different enemy types have wildly different attributes and movesets. On harder difficulties it's a necessity to learn different combos and how to juggle enemies.

The competitive side is really the only thing that's a stretch and you have to play with different handicaps (not leveling up/time restraints).

I'm honestly surprised you're not a fan of the series because of your love of Street fighter.

not when it's over video games (generally)

humans are competitive by nature, so better to concentrate that energy into something harmless than something harmful, like physical sports

So it's unavoidable, therefore there's literally no reason to allocate it to something harmless like video games.

You're reaching pretty hard for this.

Stress affects everyone but not all stress is the same.
Stress is caused by stimuli and the stimuli vary, as does the amount of stress caused by each stimuli.
If competitive video games causes stress (as I'm sure it does) it's avoidable by simply doing something else.

Which would be stupid if you know how to handle that stress and playing the games give you more value than stopping. If the stress is too much for whatever reason, then competitive games aren't for you.

I'm failing to see your point.

Handling stress isn't the same as not experiencing it. Stress is harmful no matter how you slice it.

Stress is harmful and unavoidable. If it's both of these things, then there's no point in bringing it up.

You would have a point if stress was EXCLUSIVE to playing competitive video games, which it obviously isn't. If competitive video games don't stress you out, then something else will. Thereby making competitive video games FUCKING harmless when you control for factors that cannot be changed.

Competition is a negative.

Having a safe outlet to satiate one's thirst for competition in a relatively harmless way isn't. This isn't complicated.

Minimizing stress is healthier, therefore you shouldn't want to play competitive games. Games like flower and others like it actually reduce stress and are certainly a much better option.

No, because I already do that. But if your animalistic urges don't hurt anybody, and has value in other senses, then perhaps it's worth keeping around.
