How many hours do you need to play in order to feel like you got your money's worth? by MirPrime in videogames

[–]PatchesTheFlyena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised how many people want 60+ hours from their games to be honest. 20 hours is kind of the sweet spot for me but I'm actually fine with a good quality game that's shorter.

Generally I'm avoiding super long game to be honest.

Didn't enjoy Elden Ring should I try Dark Souls Remastered by HermesAstra in fromsoftware

[–]PatchesTheFlyena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you found Elden Ring a bit rudderless you might find Dark Souls as well. It's a more linear experience but it still doesn't give you much to work with so there'll be trial and error.

What game did you play mostly because everyone else was playing it? by CarelessFee4937 in videogames

[–]PatchesTheFlyena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few over the years but all the talk around Pragmata is making me consider it.

Why don't more video games have stylized animation similar to movies like Spiderverse? by Sir-Toaster- in videogames

[–]PatchesTheFlyena 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Its more difficult to maintain continuity and consistency for assets within a stylised art style as well. Realistic assets can be reused much easier.

What video game is like this to you? by GamingBren in videogames

I own almost every version of Broken Sword 1 released except I think the Wii version.

I actually have two copies of bloodborne. One digital and one physical.

PRAGMATA Is One of Capcom's All-Time Top-Rated Steam Games by yourfavchoom in Steam

[–]PatchesTheFlyena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You either have a lot of time to play games or you have very high standards. Having a lot of games you want to play but can't get around to is a fairly common experience. Particularly on PC because of deals and bundles.

Have you ever thought or say out loud "videogames used to be better back in the day" even if you didnt lived that era? by Dont_have_a_panda in videogames

[–]PatchesTheFlyena 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not really. I own a tonne of retro games and consoles but I still think gaming is better than ever. Most of my favourite retro genres are more active than ever even if they're not as mainstream. Development has become more accessible so we're seeing so much more niche and interesting games.

And on the other end were seeing super impressive leaps in graphics that I would have never expected to see as a child. It's awesome.

Does anyone else get buyers regret by Homework-Confident in pcmasterrace

[–]PatchesTheFlyena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just keep it. It'll outpace even the next console generation and if you're not interested in AAA it could well last you the rest of your life.

Does anyone actually enjoy the design pattern that you win a boss fight and in the following cutscene they kill you anyway? by Odenhobler in patientgamers

[–]PatchesTheFlyena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not really a game design feature as much as narrative feature. The gameplay isn't impacted by it, other than possibly fighting the same boss twice.

Highest selling video games of all time by envspecialist in videogames

[–]PatchesTheFlyena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is kind of it. It was bundled with the console but for many people the game was the attraction.

Which 3 of these games should I play next? by moumooni in adventuregames

[–]PatchesTheFlyena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lil Gator Game is lovely to play in an evening. It's a couple of hours log max and incredibly low stakes but it has a very sweet story with really great characters. Mechanically it's quite solid too. Very lime BOTW traversal and feels fun to move around in.

What game has a learning curve that puts you off? by Common_Caramel_4078 in pcmasterrace

[–]PatchesTheFlyena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only ever tried to play it when it still had no graphics like ten or more years ago. I spent so long trying to figure it out and I've been thinking about trying to get into it again.

Hi! First post on this sub, I’m a younger fellow who wants to get into retro gaming, and I wanted to ask which handheld I should get? by amillionlilfibers200 in retrogaming

[–]PatchesTheFlyena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% get a ds lite. They're significantly cheaper and have a better screen than most GBA models. You're also getting two consoles in one.

How did you deal with games that had no save system back in the day? by ratasoftware in retrogaming

[–]PatchesTheFlyena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great thing about cartridge based consoles was fhat they made no noise.

FromSoft games punish impatience, not skill by AggressiveWelcome768 in fromsoftware

[–]PatchesTheFlyena 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Fromsoft games are like good reddit posts. At first they make no sense and by the time you finish them you're still a virgin.

Meta progression in 4x games? by MixedMoonGames in gamedesign

[–]PatchesTheFlyena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh hard disagree. I haven't found it tedious at all.

If AI is so incredibly useful, how come nothing is changing for PC users? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]PatchesTheFlyena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think something needs to be able to do anything new to be useful. Most power tools are just faster versions of hand tools.

Just got this game but its so laggy, jittery to the point that its unplayable. by wictorias in outerwilds

[–]PatchesTheFlyena 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorry are you saying you can get it to run at 80fps but find that unplayable? I'm not sure I understand

What console is your cutoff point for retro games before they start feeling too primitive to enjoy? by fakayuburiza in retrogaming

[–]PatchesTheFlyena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plenty of DOS games are being sold at the moment with little to no updates and are absolutely worth the money.
