i love seeing those “what 2000 hours in [game] looks like” videos for games that don’t have a particularly high skill ceiling. here’s what 2000 hours of assassins creed unity looks like. mostly just kinda slowly climbing over things same as always

i actually think that one is kinda charming. assassins creed unity is a broken ass game with a bunch of weird invisible tech to make the parkour system work that no casual viewer can see. the ones i'm actually rude about is like. the arkham games or the new god of wars. play a good action game!!!

too many to count but given this reply i'll assume this is for someone who likes arkham/god of war looking to transition into more rewarding action games without being completely overwhelmed; so I'd recommend like Ninja Gaiden Black (not 2), Devil May Cry 4 or 5, Bayonetta 1 or 2, Streets of Rage 4

its just a lot more punishing than 4 and 5 and you cant really access the more expressive game until you've gotten good, whereas the later dmcs have a more gentle ramp and are still challenging enough if you're new to the genre. "but why did you also put ngb on here" because i love that shit sorryyy

But look how many cool down moves I can spam. Please ignore what combat will look like while waiting for them to fill back up

i do dislike those games and it can frustrate me how much more popular shallow, big budget action games are than some of my favourites but at the same time i cant lie i think one of the best things about games is that if you play them long enough you can kind of through brute force make any game fun

streamed dmc2 to some friends and it was mostly as miserable as everyone says, but once we got the rocket launcher the vibe instantly changed and we were popping off every mission lmao

if you spend a thousand hours with something you will find all the weird quirks and nuances and ways to challenge or express yourself in even the most boring game. sonic 06 is, by all accounts, like 100 times more fun to speedrun than play casually for this exact reason. thats kinda beautiful

that said it does not make me immune from seeing someone do red dead redemption 2 challenge runs and be like my friend i am on my knees begging you to play another game
