I just got through the guest house and the first shitty hide and seek section with Daddy.

Give to me straight, does this game get any better?
Because all I've been doing so far is being funneled through a linear sequence of scripted events and shitty in-game cutscenes. I couldn't even go backwards to look at stuff if I wanted to thanks to doors magically locking behind you so you can only do what the game wants you to do.
In the first hour or so, the only thing I've had to actively do as a player was the first "boss" fight with Mia after you get the revolver.
And even that was a fucking slog because she's a boring fucking fight with only two attacks, walk slowly towards you and hit you or walk quickly towards you and hit you.
I thought it might pick up finally and let me play but then I had to sit through more fucking in-game cutscenes and scripted bullshit, this time with a shitty hide-and-seek section.

Does this piece of shit get any better?

I honestly think this is my favorite system just for fucking around with friends.
>Just got my ass kicked in Tetris by a couple of friends
>Played and betted on some MK8D yesterday
>Kicked everyone's ass in Fast RMX
>We're all getting Splatoon 2 later
If Animal Crossing or Smash come out of this that'll be fucking great.

Why is no on/off toggle ever provided for in fighting games?

Been watching some Injustice 2 combo videos, and watching (e.g.) Bane DDT an opponent from orbit (literal re-entry heat cone on opponent's noggin), only for said noggin-destroyer attack to finish with a chip damage's worth of a coup de grace (because it was preceded by a short combo), is fucking stomach-churning in its retarded game design.

Pointedly, Injustice 2 already has an option to filter its accoutrements / dress-up items from competitive play (for "muh balance") -- it sticks out like a sore thumb, that it lacks a toggle for its heinous damage scaling also.

This is one example, but every game is guilty of it nowadays... speaking of which, Guilty Gear is one of the worst offenders -- with its "guts" and "R.I.S.C." systems conspiring to render combos beyond a certain point worthless.

I know FG's need to be balanced for competitive play and it's shitty E-sports. But that doesn't mean fighting games cannot give a nod to old school fighters and provided a "no scaling" mode for those who want to play that way.

If anything, the whole "balance" thing has become absurd -- see: SFV's "magic" pixels and hidden "guts" system, that artificially 'tapers' damage to encourage close-looking matches (not to mention its veritable "rage gauge" V-Triggers).

So, if the games at least had an option for un-scaled combos, all parties could be satisfied. What's the fun in watching an X-Ray attack literally kill your opponent, only to see trifles of health chipped from their HP bar?

Cure this fight-game autism, please.

I think everybody has it wrong. The furtive pygmy isn't Manus, it isn't a group of pygmies, and it definitely isn't your own character in any of the games.
The furtive pygmy is a primeval human who found The Dark Soul, and what was the first thing he did with its power?
He created humanity.
Humanity is the essence of one's own self. It is what brings people together in cooperation and conflict in the souls universe (white summons, invasions, etc.) It embodies what it means to be human for both good and bad intentions, ethically speaking.
Now, let's look at the definition of furtive:
"attempting to avoid notice or attention, typically because of guilt or a belief that discovery would lead to trouble; secretive."

Now that we've got that out of the way, who is the one character in the souls universe that is seen as early as ds1, who consistently expresses the fundamental traits of humanity in both good and bad forms, who is always "attempting to avoid notice or attention, typically because of guilt or a belief that discovery would lead to trouble", and who is always truely one's self?

It's Patches.

Patches is the furtive pygmy. He is so easily forgotten that even Gwyn himself forgot how he attempted to fool Patches with the crown of The Ringed City as illustrated by the statue found in the city. Whether or not Patches accepted or rejected the crown is unknown, but it would explain his behavior and opinions.
He hates clerics.
He always helps somebody (saying there's treasure down a hole) only to betray them immediately.
He never really takes the blame for his actions.
He expresses traits of both a friend and a foe.

These are all things that Gwyn did to him or attempted to do at least. Thus, he holds the grudge in a peculiar manner and teaches his descendants about the way of the world, at least from his perspective.

"Does this not ring clear and true?"

This is only a theory, what does /v/ think?
