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

For the longest time I didn't like the Souls games, but Elden Ring got me hooked and I've since played through almost all of them.

The thing that people keep missing (and I myself missed the first few times I tried Demon's or Dark Souls) is the game is an RPG so there is a difficulty setting. It's not setting the game to "easy mode", but similar to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest you can grind to level up if you're having trouble or get better spells or equipment. You can also summon help and in Elden Ring use spirit ashes or upgrade your ashes of war; there's a myriad of ways to make the game easier if you're stuck on a tough boss.

Re: The Still Excellent Persona 3 Is 15 Years Old Today

Persona 3 Portable was the first game in the series I played and I loved it- it's still my favorite Persona game by quite a bit. Tartarus (sp?) isn't as memorable as later dungeons in the series, but the story and aesthetic is just so dark and interesting it's unmatched in my opinion.
