Taming Hard Games

I've been playing hard games since 90s and I have a passion for greater challenge. I don't like handholding in games and I love games where the theme is trial & error. This blog is by no means bragging (of course it is) about my "achievements" I have...

Guess what game I’m playing currently... This is so nice skin for Genji!

Diablo 3 Season 6 Divinity Conquest (Greater Rift lvl 75 clear). It’s rare for me to do a commentary but oh well. Nothing too big, but just some personal achievements for me. (btw I’m currently ranked around 800th when it comes to seasonal barbarians in Diablo 3.)

Shield only. Well it’s Goofy, what more did you expect...?

Jolly co-operation! I’m playing Dark Souls III and I’ve been enjoying it a lot. I belong to the Warriors of Sunlight Covenant (rp-wise of course) and my duty is to help other poor unfortunate souls against mighty adversaries.

Game I’m playing at the moment... Bloodborne for PS4. Here’s a clip where I was rushing through the area but....

Okay so I got that out of the way...

I’m going to hell but whatever... I just wanted the challenge okay... It was pretty challenging to me anyways... Good game.

It’s time to rant...!

WHAT annoys me as a gamer... (It is a pet peeve...)

(btw image is actually not that relevant)

When someone doesn’t understand simple concepts in games.

I understand if someone has never ever seen a game or doesn’t play games that much... But people who are gamers and they fail to understand simple concepts or gameplay mechanics.

People who are stubborn to try anything and feels like they have troubles of learning simple patterns or basics.

Just how is this possible?

Let me summarize this...

PEOPLE who... WALK... into... bottomless pits. Just walk. Not run... Walk.

How hard it is to jump. Or better yet how hard it is to run (if game allows you to run).

So I hate people who can’t understand the simple fact that you have to jump over things. Especially in platformer games.

Sorry but my childhood was that... Well... Parents slapped me a game and that was all I had for months to come. I was clueless how to play but learned the ropes fairly quickly. I experimented, no manuals to tell what to do and no one actually knew how to help... So learned things myself. Why is this a problem now or is it just because everything have to come on a silver platter? Player can drop a controller nowadays and ask for an instruction: “halp can’t control my character, what do i do nao lol geez this gaem sucks.” I advise them to pick up the controller but eventually I end up picking up the controller for them. It is sad, I know.

Seriously get a hold of yourself! Playing games means to git gud! Go casual for all I care but try to not look like a dumbass!

Demon’s Souls lesson number one:

- Take off the internet cable and play offline (trust me you’ll thank me later). Because griefers.

I have to admit I never ran into this issue when playing Dark Souls... I always played online. It’s strange but I don’t like the idea of best way to avoid grief is to commit suicide once you’re invaded. Don’t let the other player damage you. Trust me, you don’t want it to happen so in order to stay safe, enjoy the game offline. (Long story short they will break all your equipment and it’s no fun in the beginning of the game) I don’t care if I lose in a somewhat unfair fight and lose human form, but to repair equipments which frankly isn’t that cheap (I think maybe at end game it’s not that big of a deal). Remember! If you do want to play online... And you get invaded and you don’t have much gear/experience... Jump of the cliff! (<sarcasm>Nice game design </sarcasm>)

Maybe I have to git gud--- but griefing is never that much fun tbh.

I’ve bought Demon’s Souls on PS3. I hear the voices again. “Git gud... Git gud...”

In short, hard game is a hard game.

I will beat it however.

Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin

Sir Knight walks away from the throne and his journey continues on... (Through DLC:s that is)

So I’ve beaten Dark Souls II again, is this truly an endless cycle that keeps going on?

Class: Knight Weapon of choice: Grand Lance

Hurrah for jousting!

[tuukkamon]

Azmodan is OP. Nuff said. Even though this is against CPU, there’s no hiding that this hero is slightly little somewhat overpowered.

We appear out of nowhere!

Games I‘m currently playing pt.2

I simply don’t have much time to play games nowadays since I’m busy working with my game development team. BUT I do have time to play. Here’s the deal.

Games:

- Dark Souls (Finished) - Dark Souls II (Finished) - Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin (In progress) - Heroes of the Storm

Random “facts” from these games: Dark Souls: Zweihander is OP period. It literally breaks the game. Dark Souls II: Screw two-handers, Mace or Club is OP. However, If you use club, you’re playing with power, but with power comes a price: the absolute worst and the most stupid looking weapon in the whole game. Heroes of the Storm: Azmodan is OP period.

PS. I heard that Dragon Age is a challenging game, if so I think I should give it a shot one day. Maybe after the “holidays” or so...

...The ultimate hero!

My character Elysia in Dark Souls.

Dark Souls is a hard game, sure. It gives us challenge, sure. Use optimized, best-in-slot, ugly gear? No. This is Fashion Souls. Real men (and women) tames this game in style.

Just small footage of my casual playing (on Nightmare difficulty). I haven't played this game for a year (me thinks) so I'm little rusty. Characters of choice are Filia, Cerebella and Squigly. I have some experience with Filia and Cerebella but I've never actually played with Squigly to be honest...
