How many others LIKED when video games teased you? Why did people have to take things so seriously when it came to stuff like this? I always thought it was funny even when I was little and picking these baby modes.
>Vergil kills you >EASY MODE UNLOCKED >Ryu's arm band >Snake's chicken head >Wolfenstein's easy mode
Why do people make such a big deal about these things? They even made ranks easier in DMC5 to make those assholes feel better.
Because they don't like being reminded that they're failures at everything, even video games.
Brody Torres
My favourite is when Prinny calls you a casual.
Aiden Ramirez
>This is the difficulty menu for Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus. In a callback to the original games which showed up in The New Order as well, the menu's telling you only babies play the game on easy. It's funny on the surface, but also an insidious kind of peer pressure. Don't listen to it.
>At first I did, which is why I spent half of Wolfenstein 2 completely miserable. Playing on "Bring 'em on" the game's normal difficulty, I spent hours dying to Nazis hidden in the far corners of my TV screen or downed ones who I'd previously unloaded on but apparently didn't register the kill shot.
>In the middle of these frenzied "game over"-fests I wanted to throw my PS4 out the window. Then I'd inevitably get to a cutscene or new location, like Roswell, and instantly be transfixed again.
>Finally I decided enough was enough, swallowed my pride, and set the difficulty all the way down to "Can I play Daddy" (read: super easy). And you know what? It felt great.
>Everything immediately seemed to click into place. I was able to run and gun like the game obviously wanted me to and feel like B.J. was the one-man killing machine everyone kept saying he was.
>Guy find games too hard >Swallows his pride and it on a mode more up to his speed >He's now having fun I see absolutely no problem with this. The guy wasn't having fun until he does lowers it to a level he is comfortable with. Not everyone wants to spend hours on "gitting gud"
Luis Foster
I would see no problem if this were a regular 9/5 nigga, but this is (I think) a games journalist, someone whose jobs is to talk about and possibly review games. And I think if you are literally incapable of playing the game at the intended difficulty, it shows that you have a fundamental misunderstanding (or ignorance) of core game mechanics and your opinions about the game could be under scrutiny. You probably wouldn't be too receptive to any criticism levied at Cuphead if it were given by the guy who couldn't even dash jump, for example.
Eli Peterson
I hate that its almost impossible to complete a dmc5 mssion without getting an S or A rank
>I was able to run and gun like the game obviously wanted me to So he kept running around like a headless chicken and kept dying on normal and didn't learn that his strategy doesn't work?
Sounds like a retard who has never played games before
Matthew Perry
Nobody sees a problem with him playing on easy mode. The problem is that he's complaining the game made a joke about him playing on easy mode. He wants to play on easy and is simultaneously demanding no one's allowed to joke about it
Aiden Howard
women and thin skinned basedboy journalists. that's literally it
Joshua Nguyen
Casuals have major insecurity issues I'll never forget how much I pissed someone off when I implied that candy crush was a casual game that's only about luck. Being called a casual hurts, even when you are one and shouldn't have any reason to care
calling people casual. remind me who has the insecurity issue?
Cooper Bennett
I don't know who's quoted here, but if you're writing about videogames for a living, you really shouldn't be bad at them. Or you should at least stick to writing about ones you're competent at.
Levi Davis
I'm Casual as fuck, and I don't care if you git gud tryharders can't get it up unless you can do something that someone else can't. Its a fucking videogame not something worthwhile in the real world, most you tryhards aren't even good enough for evo.
Noah Hall
>Max Payne 3 >die a few times >game heals you to full >die again >game gives you free painkillers AAAAAAAAAAAA STOP IT I CAN DO THIS FUCK
You sound like a lifeless virgin, but that's no surprise since you complain about what gaming system people use on an internet board you little console war babby
That’s how they see everything... if you’re a miserable failure the real problem is other people noticing. So just outlaw people talking about it (under the guise of various -phobias and -ists).
Note all the retard journalists cowering behind disabled people while they push for easy modes. It’s pretty shameless if you think about it.
Lain is cute, fuck off. I said I wasn't too interested in candy crush because it looked too luck based and easy because of it. Yeah, big mistake. That's a whole lotta assumptions about me and why I play games. Maybe you should talk with people instead of attacking them
Levi Reed
I have a boomer dad who loved the original Wolfenstein back in the day, so I got him an Xbone with The New Order. His eyesight is shit but he still likes playing the vidtya, but he can barely see what he's shooting at 75% of the time. He has to play on easy to make it through the game, so the game teasing him when he physically can't play it on harder difficulties since he's old is pretty obnoxious. When you realize it's not just teasing casuals but also older people or people with disabilities and making them feel like shit when they just want to unwind and play a video game, it starts being a lot less appealing.
That being said I'm not one of those retards who thinks Sekiro needs an easy mode. Not every game is for everyone. But my fucking boomer dad isn't going to want to play Sekiro, and FromSoftware's entire marketing is centered around the games being difficult, so it's fine if it alienates some people for the sake of maintaining its creative vision.
>That's a whole lotta assumptions about me and why I play games. Maybe you should talk with people instead of attacking them Says the one that attacked 'casuals' take your advice before you give it bruh
Wyatt Reyes
Dam even with your aim assist you are still a butt blasted baby. The Wolfenstein difficulty selector wad made for you. Go play baby mode and get cucked
Xavier Sullivan
no thats a child playing minecraft on his grandma's laptop
Christopher Gomez
falling for bait this hard
Dominic Lee
Wolfenstein is a shit game that not even us casuals would play
Thomas Gutierrez
Games shouldn't have difficulty settings in the first place Dunkey was right
Joshua Jenkins
Anyone got an image of the "journalist" that complained about how a game was really hard and short but then got called out on Twitter(?) by the dev and told that you can only play half the game on the easiest difficulty.
Nathaniel Cox
All toasters and laptops add to the stream statistics you spergs go on about to pretend PC gaming isn't dead, once the streamer trend dies off even the little kids wont want pcs anymore.
Angel Fisher
Not OP but go back to aim assist ya wretch. Dont you have a CoD game to not finish.
Michael Ross
Commenting that casuals can be pretty insecure over being called casuals is an attack?
Julian Moore
>touhou 06 >if you play on easy mode the second-last boss ends the game when you beat her, telling you to come back when you're better at the game They're good and really fun(ny).
>Why do people make such a big deal about these things Part of progressivism is pretending to be upset about things separate from you
Luke Thomas
The point he's making is that, according to him, the game bullied him into playing the hardest difficulty because his feelings got hurt due to a single line of text and a picture. Yeah he switched, but im sure the journalist is throwing a fit because games shouldn't be mean to you
Samuel Reed
>Commenting that casuals can be pretty insecure over being called casuals is an attack? I'm not insecure about it though, a lot of people dont give a shit about what Yea Forums thinks about them and the fact you think you know people without talking to them shows your entitlement.
Hunter Ramirez
>Playing FEAR 2 on hard >cakewalk all the way >reach a point where soldiers don't spawn until you walk past an obvious threshold, after which they flank and overwhelm you with no cover >literally keep dying for 20 or so minutes straight >throw in the towel, put it on normal >first try, I accidentally figure out that I could shoot down their cover and kill them as they come >game saves, can't go back anymore >wanted to kill myself I still got the hard achievement at the end, didn't register that segment I guess
Luis Fisher
Get laser eye surgery for your dad so he can show you have much of a casual you really are.
Jordan Watson
More games need to do things like this on easy modes
Brandon Thompson
>Mac pic again Do all consolebabbies actualy use Mac and think that's what PC gaming is? PC gaming is bigger than ever, even Japs develop games for the superior platform now. It's amazing to me that consoles actually managed to survive past PS2/X360 era.
>I'm not insecure about it though I'll just go back to being a "git gud tryharder" then.
Adam Cooper
good on you brah fuck all these retards who think they're worth something cause they'd rather bang their head to game for 10 hrs then actually have fun with it
Dylan Kelly
>fix boomers eyes >plays on harder difficulties > still has fun >you cry because you still are a casual and cant git good like boomer dad
Better now?
Aaron Diaz
Then your dad should get thicker skin.
Nathan Scott
>playing on hard isn't fun See that's where you casual filth don't understand how something challenging can be fun.
Ayden Rivera
Looks like I struck a nerve with this much cope.
Wyatt Myers
oh, you think i'm the guy with the blind dad. I can see your confusion.
>pretending to have played DMC3 that is pathetic, fucking kill yourself holy shit
Nathaniel Sanchez
>casual filth
video games are cancelled
Alexander Price
This isn't a bad point because nuWolfenstein has atrocious difficulty and the higher difficulty slows you down to a fucking crawl because enemies have insane damage and perfect accuracy
Julian Nelson
Are you implying that mac users don't add to steams user statistics? If not then what was your point supposed to be?
Anthony Flores
this is why you shut your windows if you're baking sweets I know it seems unlikely, but they have a wicked sense of smell and they are highly territorial, you do not want to end up locked inside with one
Gavin Hill
>hardest difficulty He played on normal.
John James
I liked when Wolfenstein was about killing German national socialists instead of joining American communists and watching some fat blonde woman get blacked.
Luis Ward
Where did he say it can't be fun to play on hard? He doesn't find it fun to play on hard, you can find it fun to play on whatever why does someone having fun on a lower setting trigger you so much?
>[quote from your post] [personalized insult directed towards you]
Kayden Campbell
I played it on youtube
Jonathan Price
>Are you implying that mac users don't add to steams user statistics? Barely What even can you play on Mac? >If not then what was your point supposed to be? That playing on a fucking Mac is not representative of PC gaming. Do I really have to spell it out like that?
David Clark
welcome to Yea Forums
Luke Richardson
Sorry, i figured him saying banging your head on it for 10 hours isn't fun. Playing on easy removes gameplay the devs originally intended.
Hunter Hall
So are you against mods for games then those alter or even outright remove the gameplay devs intended.
Michael Mitchell
No it doesn't you retard, just like playing on hard doesn't add gameplay
Ryder Ross
>die to a boss on yakuza 3 times >do you wanna switch to easy mode Makes my blood boil and ids rather not have it any other way
>Its a fucking videogame not something worthwhile in the real world Then why are you getting so upset? Why care so much about the opinions of others on something you think is meaningless?
Im only saying this because some devs don't give you full content on easy.
Ian Smith
You must understand
A game journalist playing on hard is like a non-corrupt president that isn't being blocked by his peers.
Jack Parker
I don't expect reviewers to be complete experts, but I expect them to at least be competent enough to play on normal, as it's usually the intented difficulity. Is that too much to ask?
No, I love mods. But I also play and beat games on their original framework before I mod. Unless its bug fixing mods
Evan King
bugs are the intended way the developers wanted you to play.
Aaron Clark
The guy that gets angry for stating facts.
Nicholas Thomas
Those bugs are the intended gameplay the developers intended.
Gavin Carter
hit me with those hot facts bro.
Oliver Wright
I think they were referring to this youtube.com/watch?v=d8IPtE_vE_U a shame, though. DMC3 is pretty fun and everyone should give it a chance at some point. Hell, it's on practically every non-Nintendo console, and on PC.
Grayson Allen
well I could really have fucking used those at the fucking aiirpot with 0 meds and a sliver of fucking health left on whatever's the highest diff, game didn't give me shit and I've replayed that segment atleast two dozen times
Charles Morris
That's what I'm saying. He's not talking about the game. That's now how it works, and he didn't make it to Vergil without dying on his first try. He hasn't played it. He's just pretending to, having watched some fags do it instead. Hence the "fucking kill yourself" and "you disgust me" parts.
Evan Rogers
Journalists get teased enough already by their girlfriends bull and son. They don't need a game doing it too.
Brandon Perez
Todd please leave
Gavin Cooper
BUY SKYRIM VR ON SWITCH OR VIDEO GAMES ARE CANCELLED
Looks like your mother shouldn't have drank so much when she was pregnant, or maybe she should have actually drank more.
Carson Bell
>downed ones who I'd previously unloaded on but apparently didn't register the kill shot It obviously wasn't his fault, the game just didn't register the kill shots.
Looks like my bait finally ran out, so I'm off to play some Stardew Valley like the casual filth I am.
Joseph Fisher
Why do so many people think you're supposed to run and gun everywhere like a retard in Wolfenstein? Is it just because you have medkits and armor pickups instead of hiding behind walls waiting for the red screen overlay to go away? This isn't fucking Doom, you're not dodging fireballs, they're using hitscan guns and the game has a whole system for peeking and leaning out of cover and every movement option is mostly just to bash shit out of the way as you get to your next piece of cover if more mobile or stronger enemies are bearing down on you. Plus every bigger enemy has a move specifically designed to discourage you trying to run and strafe around it like we're still in id Tech 1 like knocking the player to the floor immobilizing them and leaving you vulnerable with limited ability to aim for a second as BJ climbs back to his feet.. Not to mention things like a suppressed gun and throwing knives for silent takedowns to thin out the enemies before the bullets really start flying. Even the takedowns are designed so that it's not just a canned animation, you're meant to twist your aim to use the Nazi as a human shield during firefights because this is not Doom and they will not stop shooting you just because you're in a fancy kill animation.
Also you figure after over a decade of Call of Duty you'd know just because you shot somebody and they fell to the floor doesn't meant they're dead.
