>>386556890
There's different kinds of challenge. This kind just seems half-assed and gimmicky.

>>386556890
It's not even challenging to not die, so it's just tedium and artificial. It's a good way to get bad reviews.

This is wrong, btw. It's a bluff. The game doesn't actually do it.

>it's okay when Nier and the Japanese do it!

>>386556547
I can't imagine this game having deep or hard enough gameplay to make this truly hardcore. This is just something the devs tacked on to make it seem like it's more hardcore than it really will be. I mean, the gameplay they've shown so far looks shallow as fuck.

I never said it was a bad mechanic in general. Roguelikes are built around permadeath, this cinematic trash is not. And it's a bluff, because Ninja Theory thought it would be edgy as fuck.

>>386556547

I don't think this actually happens. I think it's just a lie, to make you more paranoid. I'll say this though the ENTIRE GAME is a lie. The heroine is batshit crazy, and she is hallucinating the events of the entire game. The end fight is unwinnable: You just get swarmed by endless waves of enemies, until you die.

Then she realizes that she's only deluding herself, and that her quest is meaningless. The final boss kills her, but then the boss transforms into her and drops her lover's head, implying that she's let go and moved on.

There, I've saved you the trouble. Seriously, the game is incredibly tedious to play.

No, tiles fail to convey information as effectively as characters. Sometimes you have to guess what a tile is representing. If it's a character, you immediately know what it is portraying.

You edgy faggots deserve exactly this game. It gives you an excuse to post reaction images and sling around buzz-words to look cool in the internet.

the biggest irony if you know all of these faggots will buy & play this game, then come back on here and say things like

>WOW THIS GAME SUCKED, I KNOW BECAUSE I DUMPED 200 HOURS INTO IT AND EVERY MINUTE OF IT WAS TORTURE

Their reasoning for this mechanic is actually good and understandable, and one has to commend their commitment and decision to not compromise the vision. Plus, we don't really know how does it really affect the experience, and if there are mechanics that soften/circument this mechanic.

That said, to me it sounds potentially frustrating enough to make me sway off playing it.

My bigger question is:
What the fuck is everyone so angry about?

god damn

this is false. unless you are applying for something specialized (medicine, law, some engineering) your degree literally doesn't matter for most white collar jobs--only that you have one so that the "first line of defense" doesnt just chuck your resume because you dont have a degree. i would recommend you actually experience the real world/get a real job before talking shit about things you dont understand.

he's wrong, don't listen to kids who have never actually seen the real world besides out of mommy's window & base their worldview on 4chan memes about "underwater basket weaving" and the like. most people don't end up working in their chosen "major" but on the other hand you still need a degree of some kind to get your foot in the door in a white collar capacity. this is basic shit.

Obviously there's nothing i can do to prove any of this to you. It's not like I'm going to post a paystub/diploma to fucking 4chan. But I'll just reiterate my original point that you can land most white collar jobs with ANY degree. Outside of specialized fields, the idea that your major matters in any way shape or form is 100% an underage one and if you were older than 20/had any experience with work, you'd know this.

>>386562929
To be quite honest, they're right. DmC was honestly more difficult than Dark Souls in my experience.

it's even funnier because every review say this is more like a film than a VG, with 0 replayability and boring gameplay (still getting high reviews because MUH DARK AND EDGY THEMES)

>DmC was honestly more difficult than Dark Souls in my experience.

>>386563243

If you plan on doing bitch work anyway, why would you invest years in college at all? Or what amazing alternative are you referring to that is within reach for the average person?

>>386556547

If the game warns you of this beforehand, and offers an easy mode for game journalists and Reddit, should be fine.

>>386563410
Give me a break, mate, the control scheme really fucked me up. Coming from other DMC games I kept trying to dodge with the jump button, and I really couldn't get a hang of i-frames on the manual dodge when it was bound to the triggers on my 360 pad.

Dark Souls, I just mostly walked around everything no problem.

Forcing the player to be focused and not die too many times is a legitimate type of difficulty that is in most older games and is just considered cheap now because modern gamers can't handle it.

>>386556547
Combat is easy, you have to try to die.

If you can't learn the game enough to get past something then you should be punished by not being allowed past it until you become proficient enough, this is how almost all games used to be and pussies like you have ruined it for people who actually play games regularly and want to be challenged.

Oh i'm sorry you and your autistic friends want to measure your gamer penises by doing the same autistic things over and over again and call it "skill" or "gitting gud" so your shitty life can have some sort of meaning and so you can finally have a reason to hate tthe people that made fun of you for playing games. I'm really sorry

>>386561764
That's how you know a game is bad, and if you aren't a child who plays games casually you would have beaten pretty much every action game ever made and can't be picky enough to just not play it at all, I am not paying for it though I am dling it.

>the concept of game overs is so old that plebs only know this as permadeath
Not that this is good in this shitty cinematic game. Who wants to hold forward on the control stick while the game plays itself, multiple times no less?

So, what's game about? Screens look like a HZD clone honestly. Is it action like DMC? Or some third person shooter?

>>386566549
Lol, at least you admit that you are normie scum who doesn't even play games more than casually, if you did play games like Castlevania and Contra you would understand how difficulty makes a well made game more fun and satisfying by making consequences immediate and punishing requiring focus and proficiency.

You don't get the point, do you ?
NOBODY CARES if you're good at a game or the inflated ego you get from beating game 1 life / 1 credit / no damage whateve.
Discussing mechanics is one thing, constantly trying to hop on the "hardcore gamer" train to sell a shitty game is an other.
But here you feel such an ego boost and a need to show off "superiority" whenever something for "hardcore gamers" is introduced that marketers found about it and sell entire game just on that point., and it works, it's even better when you see "casuals" complain, it makes you feel so much better "all these hours poured into those hard games mean so much right now".

>>386567762
Castlevania has infinite continues as well, and we weren't talking about dark souls I was responding to him bitching about games not making challenging sections optional so that casuals can have fun too, which had nothing to do with Dark Souls.

>>386565594
It's not just that modern gaymers can't handle, but it also just doesn't quite work with games nowadays.
Games in the NES era had almost no story, or just a very barebones one, they were mostly played for the jump n run gameplay. Those games were also really short once you know how tp play them. Almost no NES game with game overs took much more than maybe 5 hours if you could pull them off perfectly.
Games like that also mostly had no real character progression. Except for shortlived power ups Mario was always the same, for example.

Modern games on tje other hand are mostly story or lrvel progression heavy. Imagine losing your save in Witcger 3 or a SoulsBorn game. Now you havr to drudge through the same story again, how fucking interesting. Or mow you have slowly wade your way through the same dungeons again, bevause all your leveks are gone. That's just not fun. It was fun in the old games because even if you got a game over, you didn't lose much than the stages you were on. Sure you habe to go through the same stages now again, but you mostly memorized them, so these stages now don't take you an hout but maybe 10 minutes.

Really story heavy games eben during the NES era featured save systems. Lil' Ninja Brothers comes to mind.

tl;dr: tam tam us just being retarded again.

I don't know what all this is about but just don't buy the game if you don't like it.

Right though you are, you really need to go to sleep.

Too bad the game is garbage and super easy.

This isn't about feeling proud to have beaten a game, I was defending challenge in games in general and it has nothing to do with pride about having beat it, it has to do with the enjoyment involved in overcoming challenges and learning the gameplay and then being tested and pushed to your limits. You sound extremely defensive which is why you keep bringing up being proud about having beaten challenging games but it is you missing the point, the point is that the challenge is enjoyable, unless the game is bad or you are so shit that it can be nothing but frustrating.

>have to redo this linear shit all over again with no variation or ways to quicken it.
If the game was too easy to justify it being tense from what guys said, then what's the point of even implying you added it? It's not like an arcade or NES game where shit's quick to get through the main game, even if they hype 9 hour playthrough, when shit isn't combat.
Yeah I know it's false though.

>>386560153
While the idea of playing a game as an unreliable narrator is cool, if what you said is true, that is not a good way of doing it. I think lying about the permadeath works with the game and it's unreliable narrator, having the game itself lie to you about mechanics to increase one's paranoia works in this title. I haven't played the game myself so I don't really know how often death happens or the balance of the combat at all but if done well could really up the tension of the player. Problem is that just the words permadeath are enough to set people off, and in a 8-12 hour long linear (I'm assuming all of these things, please correct me if I'm wrong) the idea of having to redo all of the stuff you already have is not very enticing.

This has been proven to be untrue

>western trash
LOL

>>386558239
Well I mean, it's undeniable that it makes the game significantly more challenging unless an idiot can breeze through it in a first play through with no deaths. Whether that is a good kind of challenge is subjective though.

The game is slow as shit pacing, why the fuck would you throw in a garbage lives system and force people to repeat the slow bullshit?

Can't you tell me genre, nigger? Whole thread is kinda telling it's about mental illness or whatever. But it can be walking sim, action, QTE-fest, fucking RTS or viking aircraft simulator.

Permadeath is just a casual filter; non-casuals should never have to deal with this mechanic if they stay alive, therefor adding nothing to the difficulty to more experienced gamers. Prove me wrong

>>386570361
Can't you do a simple search on gamefaqs or google? It's a hacknslash action game like Ninja Theory's other games.

Combat looks bare, how does the story and characters hold up?
'Created in collaboration with neuroscientists and people who experience psychosis, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice will pull you deep into Senua’s mind'
Is there any truth to this?

>>386570361
From what I've seen it has bits of combat broken up by bits of walking and puzzle solving.

>>386556890
That has nothing to do with the game's challenge though. Your save file isn't part of the damn game, it shouldn't be able to be affected by how you do in the game. Good challenge would be like your inventory being completely wiped every time you die.

>>386567234
This disgusting normalfag thinks that everyone else is as low iq as him and only does things to raise other peoples perception of them. Obviously people only play hard games like FZero GX and Ninja Gaiden to feel "proud" of themselves, I can't imagine being such a disgusting casual that I don't even understand the point of difficulty in video games and so low iq that I take that as a failing in other people and not myself and insult them for being nerds while participating in a discussion about video games. Obvious pol fag normie scum who came here just to bitch about SJWs.

>>386565594
Old games could be beaten in like 3 hours if you knew how to do it, extreme punishments were added to pad out the length.

>>386570683
Good to know that limited continues in an NES game isn't related to it's difficulty level.

>>386570831
I wasn't defending it being implemented in this game but it is a legitimate form of difficulty, just because a lot of developers added them to make it last longer doesn't mean every game with them does it for that reason and that it is a bad thing and not a legitimate form of difficulty that forces focus.

God fucking damn it, ninja theory Just can't stop being pretentious faggots, not even for a second.

>>386570858
It's not. Whether you have 3 lives or 99 lives, if you never lose a life the difficulty is the same

I was hoping this would be like a trial error game like generations past. If it's a facade then why mention it to begin with?

NT trying to be deep again I guess.

Honestly the idea in itself isn't a bad one, problem is with the execution. Only review I've bothered to look at was Jim Sterling's and he says the game does a good job with the psychosis stuff, but whether or not you can trust that is questionable at best.

Obviously you fucking dense faggot, but it makes it more difficult to beat the game normally, before you are good enough at it to beat it in one life.

>get screwed over by a boss being a dick or controller/button messing up

BECAUSE DIFFICULTY HAHAHA

The problem isn't the idea, but that, as always, NT has to push its ballsack in your face and make you smell it, while saying "my nuts are meant to give a new and deep look into society and mankind". They are one of, if not THE biggest smelling-its-own-farts developers to ever disgrace this industry, even more than that french faggot, because he had actual gameplay ideas, at least.

>>386572275
That sounds fair actually, you fucked up and lost and if this happens regularly you need a new controller. The only problem would be it's implementation in a story heavy game like this but it isn't actually in the game.

>>386572124
Unless the game is throwing some really unique concepts, most people should be familiar with basic gaming.

Is the game fun tho?

>>386572823
Lol at implying most people can just beat games like Gradius or Metal Slug without dying their first time. I would be surprised if anyone has, unless you are a genius autist you aren't going to beat any NES level game with limited continues on one life the first try, most likely not even with all of the limited lives given to you unless it is an easier game.

>>386556547
Dark Souls does the same thing. Is it not what we wanted? to make the hardest game of all time?

>From makes a new souls-like game

Would you buy it?
This would actually force people to get good

>>386565759
The game flat out tells you this mechanic as a text pop-up and none of the reviewers actually mentioned this happening to them
It seems like NT wanted to make the game seem more interesting by making you fear death

>>386558508
>moot
Well, has hiroyuki even changed ANYTHING about 4chan since he took over?
I prefer it that way, but what's his plan?

Reminder that fun is a buzzword and should not be the priority of games with integrity. Same goes for other mediums. Look at Godard's progression as a filmmaker, the masses must either adapt or die.
