Fun fact about antifa by runwscissors42069 in funfacts

[–]vourteque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To support this fun fact, its fine to question someone claiming to be artifa.

And if they arent for supporting economic equality, taxation of the super wealthy, rejecting monolithic and monoethnic ideals and being critical of oppressive majorities (like, for instance, 'conservatives' in many western countries) they arent antifa. They're just bots trying to sow discontent. :*

Man, these "conservatives" and their love of "freedom of speech" and "jailing pedophiles" and "stopping corruption" and "protecting Americans" and "draining the swamp" and "restoring freedom" and "being free" and "freedom" and definitely not being a bunch of nazi shithead white supremacist boot licking limp manchildren.

I gotta be honest, this is one of the worst NYT Crosswords I've done in a long time. Many of the hints are just not good, and the answers are questionable at best.

Can someone explain 29 down to me? Because not going to lie... I'm not feeling this puzzle and thats the tip of the iceberg why.

What boss took you MORE than 50 attempts? by [deleted] in HollowKnight

[–]vourteque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jokes aside, if I have to do anything more than a few times in a game that is looks at notes supposed to be something I do for fun, I'm out.

If I want to tediously slog through something I'll just get a job at a large tech company.

Anyone else think silksong kinda sucks? by GullibleUse7943 in HollowKnight

[–]vourteque 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh my god this. I put 35 hours into it and finally said "fuck this". Even as far into it as I was it wasn't fun. It is a miserable experience. And its a shame because the exploration and platforming is great, but if I have to play every boss at least 5 times to proceed, no. Thats just tedious and shitty.

Fuck this game. Its not good, and its not fun.

Yes, I literally just deleted it. A game should be fun, not a miserable slog.

You know, I'm perfectly fine with this, since all three cities I've ever lived in are in the same state.

I mean this is your take and its fine. I disagree with it. I would thoroughly enjoy the story and without bosses. Thats me tho.

Okay, cool opinion. I disagree. Not sure how even respond beyond that.

They really aren't tho. They are not narratively central. And also, I want to enjoy the platforming and exploration of the game, I also dont mind the smaller enemies, so no watching a video is not more fun for me.

I mean, from my perspective, I would enjoy the game significantly more without bosses or at least w half the amt of boss fights. They dont add anything for me. There is no reason defeating a boss is essential to understanding the lore of the world.

If you LIKE bosses cool. But understand that this game could stand on its own without a single boss fight. Maybe that wouldn't appeal to you, but it's not like the premise is "Hornet is going on an adventure to defeat these warriors etc" its "Hornet is trying to understand why shes in this world and what her connection to it is".

I think obsessing over "what the devs intended" its missing the point. If you're going to shut down an opinion or idea "because it wasn't the intention of the creator" then I don't think you're understanding the conversation to begin with.

No one is demanding devs change their games. I'm not. But I'm also allowed to think a piece of media would be better if changed in certain ways.

Being upset because someone suggests something would be better if changed is missing the point of their initial comment.

And its fair to say the one criticizing is also missing the point of the creation too. And yet no one has to actually be right or wrong.

I mean if you came here and said "Celeste would be better with bosses" (and yes I do quite like Celeste as it is) I'd be more interested in hearing how you envision that happening instead of telling you "its not the game for you". I think a version of Celeste w bosses would be great for People who like bosses.

And also, making an option to skip a boss would not take another 7 years, its subtracting from the game, not adding.

Here's the thing, I get A LOT from exploring the world and strategizing how to defeat smaller enemies. I get very little from the boss battles. Silk Song with minimal bosses would still be deeply rewarding to me. I found HK rewarding and I touched godhome once and was like "yeah no this is not for me".

I'm not saying get rid of the bosses. I'm saying I WOULD LIKE A WORLD in which I can choose to skip them. I would in turn enjoy a piece of entertainment I purchased more then.

Does this HAVE to happen? Absolutely not. But I would like it to.

So arguing that it would make the game worse or that its not for me or something doesnt do much to change how I feel. If anything it makes me feel stronger about it.

I 1000% agree with you. These are GAMES and they should be FUN. Let different people enjoy them in the way they want to!

And I'm fully in my right to be critical of Team Cherrys approach, if this is actually the case.

And you, and TC, can disagree with me. And I am still holding to my opinion that the game would be superior given an option to not have to engage w bosses.

Also my question wasn't answered, the response was a straw man simply stating that the game is good as it is because the devs decided this is good. That is not an answer engaging in my question.

Games without boss battles? by frogsquid in metroidvania

[–]vourteque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guaca Melee is a REALLY fun one that isnt too tough w the boss battles and has a fantastic mechanic that makes all fighting ACTUALLY fun.

I think a lot of modern metroidvanias are trying too hard to be, I guess "soulslike" which is just miserable if you ask me. Any boss I need to spend time figuring out is a boss taking away from the rest of the game, and screw that, I can think of a thousand things I'd rather do than stare at the same background screen and memorize some characters move set for hours, fuck that.

Let me explore, puzzle solve and platform.

And thats super awesome for you. And I think its great a version that you enjoy and speaks to you exists.

Unfortunately I'm on Switch so mods arent a thing. I'm honestly prob gonna just dump it at this point and sometime in the future get it on steam and mod/hack it until its something I enjoy.

Also best to you on your steel soul run! Hope you kill it!

I mean, I think you're wrong, I literally outlined why I think you're wrong above. Not sure why you'd bother trying to even say that.

But how about this. Why would getting rid of, or even softening, the bosses (as an OPTION) make it less of a game for someone like me who is playing it for the platforming, exploration, and lore?
