There's a market for it, so they make them. There's also a market for games without messages, you know, plenty of devs keep making them and they're still pretty successful, so yeah just play those and ignore those you dislike; it's really nothing to be infuriated about.

I hate this so much. When I play on harder difficulties I want enemies tactics to change and ahave them alter on the fly. Not just rush at me until the attrition is over.

>>386958381
It's to prevent players from picking it out of pride or by mistake and end up not finishing the game and calling the game poorly made.

At least that's what I remember from certain developers that mentioned it.

>>386959621
I understand how calling calling something that's not a game a game triggers your autism, but does the definition even matter anymore?
People like interactive movies and buy them, calling them something else won't stop them from being made.

>>386959621
I agree. MGS4 was a sad excuse of a game

I fucking hate it when games give enemies advantages. I love turn based combat because 9 times out of 10 my deaths will be my fault, and not the game's for shitting up.

Unfairness in games trigger my autist rage. I fucking hate it, but there are barely any games that are 100% fair. For the record, I'm fine with enemies or other players being better than me. I'm not like DSP.

I don't care that they exist, or that people make them, or even that they're becoming more popular. I care when they're held up to the same level of praise as actually well crafted games that take full advantage of the medium instead of treating gameplay like some annoying thing they have to include out of an obligation.

>>386960571

MGS4 is in a weird spot because it has some of the best gameplay mechanics in the entire series, but its also a horribly bogged down movie with the occasional gameplay sections here and there.

I really liked how time splitters did it, you play normal and the level is short but the higher the difficulty the "end" point is extended that includes bosses, and more types of enemies.

In linear games I can see an argument for this. But why do all the open world games do it? It's fucking stupid.

"Learn by doing!" systems never fucking work. Ever.

You always just find a super easy way to cheese it like casting 'Calm' on a non-hostile NPC for 9 hours to max illusion in Skyrim.

It's never fun. It's time to fucking stop.
