That is false pretense

Reminds me of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil's lunatic difficulty being described as "for weird people."

EASY: "I just want the story and characters." NORMAL: "Don't pull no punches!" HARD: "I like trying just a LITTLE too hard." SWEATBAG: "1CC No Damage runs make me feel superior." JOURNALIST: "I don't actually care, I'm writing an article."

ITT: lot of people that are definitely not insecure about playing games on the difficulty they enjoy

someone correct me if im wrong, but i was under the impression that Tohou games do have like an insult for when you pick the hardest dificulty.

That's so frustrating, don't you think games should challenge us, not punish us for wanting a fulfilling experience?

A game called Necrovison does that, I think.

Clinically online take, makes no sense. Plenty of games already feature Arcade or challenge modes.

Yeah, speed runner mode should be a thing so that we don’t have to watch everyone play it in a language they don’t understand because it has less text to skip.

"Auto-skip cutscenes" should just be a separate toggle Would be helpful for speedrunners too, save their fingers from having to mash through dialogue

dont you dare talk about jeff earthbound like that

When your artistic skills match your gamer skills

Honestly need this for achievements too. Gamifying the very act of playing games is not *fun*

What did Jeff Earthbound do to deserve this slander

Won't they have no idea why you're apologizing? Noble nonetheless.

The piss-on-the-poor website reading comprehension followed the post.

that's me

I appreciate the apology.

I basically started modding a lot of games for this reason.

ACtually this is a great idea for a game. You can either play as the pre built jacked of trades character designed to do this, The semi professional hobbyist who only picks it up due to aligned interest, Or the complete nobody freshly dragged off of reddit who probably can't go out without shaking

*years GO on. My autocorrect has been smoking the weird shit lately and I have no idea why it will correct what I intended to say into something completely different.

Being able to play a game on its hardest difficulty was considered a badge of honor, not sweaty tryhard nonsense. Now all those things are mainstream and we get mocked for "gatekeeping" what we were mocked for enjoying back then. It's really silly. Just shut up and play lmao

+2

Hard - or as like to call it, 'I have enough time to waste on smashing my forehead against walls'

It's twofold because you're not shamed for playing something easier, and someone who enjoys mastering the game mechanics to the fullest just gets that much more catharsis like "HAHA YES I'M A HUGE DORK AND I *WON*"

Fuck me I just like the intensity of the fights to match the story ;;
