The original system shock is clunky as fuck. It's a legitimate criticism but it's overused in place of real criticism.
Some people refuse to get use to non-conventional mechanics or controls and will say it's clunky.

I'm conflicted about the idea of artificial difficulty becoming more known because on one hand, it is a real thing that exists. A lot of older games were difficult for a variety of reasons such as being modeled after arcade games designed to suck quarters from your pocket or being a lasting challenge for kids who only got one or so game a year. Most modern devs looking to cash in on nostalgia tend to miss the point and use the difficulty as a selling point, and often times it leads to a game just being about muscle memory and attrition.
Another issue is with RPGs doing this. I consider SMT my favourite game series of all time, but some of the games are just obtuse for no real reason other than that's what they're known for. Even the dumbest dummy can get past a hard boss in SMT if they get lucky or just grind rather than learning how to play. When people call that artificial difficulty, I tend to agree.
On the other hand dumbasses tend to use it to describe anything they can't immediately succeed at and meme it to hell and back.

>>376838850
>Lol and Dota are Gta, Hots is Saints Row
>>376838540
Artificial difficulty isn't real heres why:
Game choice aside, skyrim on very easy compared to legendary difficulty are two completely different games, One is a game i could give to my grandmother and she would be able to complete the game without ever opening up the level up menu and would be able to kill alduin with an iron shortsword she found at the first level.
Legendary difficulty would be the actual rpg were you make choices on how to build your character, you plan a build ahead and fights take long enough so that you would actually see all monster attacks and not just be oneshotting them before they even get a chance to react.
Skyrim may be a bad choice of game but it's one that came to mind since i always played it on the hardest difficulty and I feel like i legit got a better experience and much more time out of the game because of it, when it was popular and I went on twitch seeing normies play it on very easy it was like I was watching one of those dumbass cinematic walking simulator games, it was just so different and brain dead I couldn't believe people enjoyed playing like that.

I have a new hardcore game for mature gamers such as yourself.
It's super mario brothers, but when you reach the flag, theres a 1/65535 chance of beating the level and a 65534/65535 chance you die.
It's so hardcore it's the dark souls of mario.

The only reason I'd say it's better than those other two pieces of shit is because it's not yet full of angry slavshits and the community is fairly happy with new players.
I hate all mobas though, fucking garbage "genre".

skyrim is a bad example because the only way to effectively avoid damage is by sneaking and hiding. it doesn't have the necessary game mechanics to make it a complex or challenging game. legendary difficulty just makes enemies have more HP, do more damage, and take longer to forget about you when you're sneaking

>>376839296

Again i think it was a bad example but the only people ive heard say it's artificial difficulty because they are being forced to min max a character instead of creating one to roleplay as like a bard or something instead the game is forcing you to use all tools available

there isn't any incentive to roleplay in skyrim. no NPCs react to your character choices in any meaningful way.
resistances won't help you avoid cinematic finishers, and hitboxes are too disjointed to effectively play around them. at least that's how i see it

>>376855725
I don't understand it. You'd have to have a room temperature IQ to have such trouble with some of those games.
I mean, for something like MGS1 which doesn't really have much of a controllable camera I can SORT OF understand despite not encountering issues myself since they're spoiled by how later games handled it maybe (even though the game is built around the existing camera and plays fine with the current level of control) and feel disadvantaged, but something typical of all modern third person games? Really?

It's the absolute worst when someone who's obviously garbage at a game tries to tell you what's wrong with it.
I played a lot of gears of war when I owned an Xbox and I could run down some pros when I had my 5 stack.
Now that it's on PC I see a lot of complaints by people who obviously have no clue what they're talking about and it pisses me off to no end because these people are shitties that want the game balanced around them and not actually balanced.

In third person games, I never have an issue with the camera. The only time I ever cite the camera as an issue is when the field of view is too tiny to track someone near you in a first person game (see: every Bungie game).
