If he wants to make his games hard, why doesn't he just make them more mechanically complex instead of falling back on a bunch of cheap trash like deliberately misleading attack animations, bosses that are far too big for the camera, and ridiculously long enemy combos?Dark Souls combat is basically just Ocarina of time with a stamina bar and an i-frame dodge. Is he just scared that if he gets any more complicated than that he'll lose his audience of something?
Because he's cheap. He cuts so much corners all the time yielding low quality products in the end.
Yes, because the appeal of these games is that they are "hard" but in reality easy enough for the average person to beat, so they feel good beating a "hard" game. Notice how these fags will complain about anything harder than these fromslop games as being "too hard" or "artificially difficult"? Because they can't handle a game that requires skillful inputs but rather memorizing bosses and having the patience to wait for their turn.
>>719538961What do you mean by mechanical complexity, if you don't count feint attacks as such a thing?
>>719539187Delayed attacks aren't feints.
>>719538961love that FromSoft still makes these people seethe every dayprobably just salty their favorite niche "hard game" isn’t popular enough with the girls
>>719538961>If he wants to make his games hardHe doesn't since he keeps adding overpowered items to them. His games are only hard because people want them to be, for fun.
>>719538961What do you mean by "more mechanically complex"? How would that automatically make the game harder?
>>719539408A deliberately misleading attack is a feint. Answer the question.
>>719538961>>719539492Nothing excuses why he made the player fight Sif in DS1. That was absolute fucking bullshit and From ought to be ashamed of themselves for that
>>719538961The difficulty is not the point.
>>719539773>Nothing excuses why Natasha had to die in Endgame. That was absolute fucking bullshit and Marvel ought to be ashamed of themselves for that.This is what you sound like.
>>719539835>idiot anon is justifying the developers bullshit unjust violenceSome things are just wrong
>>719539891>stories can never have sad scenes where something bad happens
>>719539891>NOT THE DOGGO NOT THE WHOOFER NOT THE BORKIN BOOFER!!! SAVE THE PUPPER DONT HURT THE GOOD BOI NOT THE FLUFFER PLEASE NO NOT THE HECKIN GUD PUPPERINO NOOO NOT THE LE WOOFER DOGGO MLEM NOOOOOOOOO NOT THE LE LONGBOI BARKER SNOOTER PUPPERINO PUPPER NOOOOOOOO UR DOIN ME A HECKIN FRIGHTEN BY KILLING THE BLEPPER DOGGER BORKER CHONKER FLOOFER
>>719539772>A deliberately misleading attack is a feint.Watch any feint in real life. It is tricking someone into thinking an attack is coming from one direction while really making it come from another. You will never see combat where some dude holds a weapon in the air for five seconds only to swing it down in exactly the manner he telegraphed five seconds ago that doesn't involve special needs participants.Retarded attack animations that lie to the player are a cheap trick, and the devs don't even need to worry about where an attack is coming from since in ER so many attacks just have turbo tracking that makes positioning irrelevant as it is.
>>719539962Its not just sad. Its so twisted to shove something into a game like that.
>>719538961>>719539141Samefag retard who could be incredible at these games if he spent as much time playing them as he does shitposting about them
>>719539986I have a soft spot when it comes to dogs and other animals that humans form a bond with.
>>719539995You've never seen a fighter fake a stance?
>>719540068Ok Millennial chungus.
>>719539995I hate delayed attacks in soulsboring. But this is wrong. I will absolutely feint an attack by holding it. Not 5 seconds, obviously. But feinting is not just about direction, timing is also a big part of it.
>>719540116https://www.youtube.com/shorts/G1TaUwnStXg
Because difficulty is easy to manufacture, especially if you can convince a bunch of autists that jank bullshit/tedium/obscurity are things you can overcome with skill
>>719539995>go in for a punch>opponent tries to block it>but I hold the punch until he stops blocking>and THEN I punch>this isn't a feint
They did with Nightreign.
none of the games prior to DaS3 were supposed to be hard and they weren't. they were only hard for normalfags and marketing had to come up with something to spin it into a positive.
>>719538961>"Mechanically complex">Single attack to damage>vs>Split single attack into an elemental combo of 4 small attacks that have to be completed in sequence only last attack doing the majority of the damage. The attack will have a single element out of 4 so you have to match the enemy element to attack it and have to have 4 attacks ready at the same time and choose the right one. Attack is a movement skill so you have to guide it while doing it and animation each animation takes 5 seconds. You can also get a immediate double attack for +1 damage after full combo to raise a stagger meter. Enemy can only die in stager which lasts 2 seconds.Yeah no, dumbfuck. You can leave you chink shit out of this.
>>719540320Rearing back for a punch and holding it just leaves you wide open to get your jaw shattered in any actual combat situation.
>>719540320There's many, many reasons your retarded analogy doesn't work and I don't even know where to startI just have to assume you've literally never seen a fight in your life despite having access to the internet
>>719540390And that's exactly what you're supposed to do. Wail on the boss while he's holding a pose, move away when he finally attacks, and then attack again while he's recovering. What a coincidence!>>719540420Wow anon, I can't believe that video game logic where one fighter can take a hundred times more blows than the other doesn't apply to real life!
>>719540420You still haven't answered what mechanical complexity you want the game to have
>>719540616>And that's exactly what you're supposed to do. Wail on the boss while he's holding a poseExcept you don't know when the boss is gonna release his attack, especially since they have different variations of certain moves depending on input reading, and you can't cancel attack animations meaning you gotta play extremely passively while learning a bossWhich is the entire issue with the nu-From combat system. It's completely unintuitive and entire based on rote memorization
>>719540030>Mastering a game where the depth of combat is knowing when to dodge and when to press R1Why the fuck would I waste my time on that nonsense? Also Dark Souls isn't hard you dumb nigger.
>>719541454
>>719540320Based looney tunes black belt
>>719538961i wanna see a video of this faggot beating the radahn dlc rerun
>>719538961yes, even sekiro is mechanically simple and palatable for an average joe to beat. the entire series has built its popularity on being an approachable challenge for pretty much anyone.
The real reason is that Souls-style combat is dead end game design so there's nothing the designers can do it make it hard outside of tweaking with bosses with roll catches and long combos. They would have to make something new.
>>719546062Why do you think other games add a ton more gimmicks compared to how mechanically simple fromsoft games are? For example every other sekiro clone has full combos, various ways to parry, maybe aerial combos and so on because its core sekiro is just mashing L1 and R1. However Fromsoft games are very popular because they are not janky and mechanically simple, initially hard but also easy to master. It makes the average casul feel like a pro gamer when it clicks.
