Written by Fredrock - "Gone are the days where I bought a game for the hype or lust for wanting to play it so bad just because it was the next big thing. If the game doesn’t have frequent trophy pops during gameplay I tend to get frustrated because I think that I am not progressing well enough or I am not doing the right things."
As difficult and frustrating as it is, people should consider reliving the Dark Souls 2 experience, especially because of what's coming to the game.
Many of those who hate Dark Souls II hate it because it's not Dark Souls. The same people love Dark Souls III because it isn't Dark Souls II.
And so many of the issues at the centre of common complaints about DS2 are present in DS3 and sometimes even DS1. The hatred and bile spewed over this perfectly decent game is ludicrous.
I don’t think it’s a terrible game, but like a movie sequel by a different director, for me, it does NOT capture any of the “magic” felt from the Miyazaki entries. Boss battles don’t feel epic, environments don’t have the same sense of awe, the enemy variety isn’t particularly interesting, the art direction just feels bland, about the only thing I can give it praise for is some of the music.
Now, again, this is only how I feel about it, so I’m not trying to invalidate his you feel about the game, but it is the worst entry in the series due to those factors and it’s the least re-visited entry, for me.
Is it decent as a game on its own? Sure. But in comparison to the Miyazaki entries, it does not stack up and I believe that’s where many were disappointed with it.
You can also play it in VR flawlessly on PC & controller with the LukeRoss mod so… another reason to jump back in with extra immersion.
VR flight simulators offer some of the best, most immersive experiences around. Here are seven that you shouldn't miss out on.
Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution launches summer 2025 on modern platforms—20 years after its original development was shelved.
Glad they didn't change the art style. This is looking good.. Why did they change the way the characters look anyway? The very first style was kind of ok, it was fine by Risky's Revenge and Pirate's Curse.. both in game sprite and the dialogue popups, why keep changing it? I am not as fussed on her newer look. She's looking kinda too dark or sunburnt now.
A professor in game design that plays crap games for trophies? OK...
Ignore the trophies/Achievements and just enjoy the game. If you want to go for them then go for it but you don't have to. Does anyone think for themselves anymore?
Then turn them off. Problem solved 😑
if you cant play vidya without trophies/achievements then you dont actually like videogames
"If the game doesn’t have frequent trophy pops during gameplay I tend to get frustrated because I think that I am not progressing well enough or I am not doing the right things."
Then change the way you approach video games. Trophies only mark major trials or random 'do this 500 times' at the discretion of the dev team. I certainly hope you don't lose your marbles when dlc is released without trophies...
Achievements are nice to gain, but they shouldn't be why you play a video game.
