Re: Don't Expect to See Kazuma Kiryu or Goro Majima as Guest Fighters in Tekken, Street Fighter

Not sure why I am surprised that there are dudes upset that a huge, very strong man that regularly picks up bikes to fight with doesn’t hit a woman. If Kiryu hit a standard sized Japanese woman (even a martial artist) he’d cause permanent damage. I am sure those same folks would be upset if a heavyweight MMA fighter fought a flyweight or a regular man as opposed to the thugs depicted in game.

Re: FromSoftware Boss Uses Every Elden Ring Advantage: 'I Absolutely Suck at Video Games'

That makes sense. I don’t enjoy souls games (or monster hunter games either) because they feel clunky but the “system” feels fair. In a way they remind me of fighting games (a genre I live for) where if you invest the time and learn the system you can mow down the opposition. The difference for me is fighting games give me a dopamine hit the entire time so I will throw myself at the wall until I improve. Souls games feel so cumbersome that it isn’t worth that investment for me. But that absolutely explains why those that love those games adore them so.

Re: Poll: Can a Game's Brutal Difficultly Put You Off Playing It?

I don’t really have free time but for me I feel like the systems in many of the “get gud” games aren’t fun. For instance I don’t enjoy dark souls because combat feels clunky to me. Meanwhile I enjoy Bayonetta or Dragons dogma or Nioh because the combat feels better. All of those games can be punishing but if I am having fun playing then it is more about improving my skill. If I am not, then it is a chore.

Re: Open World Martial Arts RPG Where Winds Meet Announced for PS5

That Erhu is rocking out. Anyway it looks good but since I have not heard of this studio i will wait on reviews (and possibly an xbox announcement. I can play the PS5 but the symmetrical layout makes games like this hard to play. ) but I am hopeful. Doesn’t feel like a soulslike to me but I may need more info.
