RE: Hard Games: Is The Game Difficult or Unfair? How to make a Videogame more fair to players
You know some of old games were hard simply because of bugs. Personally I don't remember last game that was difficult.
Can remember only dark souls but that is exactly hard to play if it had quick save game would be 100 times easier. You just can't imagine how much time needs to be spent to just run from a to b.
Also dark souls is an example of boring option, you can just level up get all gear and win any bossfight.
I never played Dark Souls.. but from what I know about it... It does every point I said in my post. If you're skilled enough you can win. if you're not skilled you can grind until you get a gear that helps you to win.
yeah... maybe you don't find the games difficult anymore because of your accumulated skill from playing many games? But you know? most of the AAA titles are made to sell to as many people as possible... so if it wasn't marketed as a Hard Game then %70 of time the game will be fairly easy.. at least the main parts of it (optional content and challenges are made for those who invest their time in playing so a lot of time it'll be very hard).
That was my point games aren't difficult now. Problem with unfair difficulty mostly presents at free to play games.
I don't think easy games are bad (actually I like easy far more than hard if you want my taste)... but I know this can be very disappointing for people who like harder challenges. I wish game companies make games with more varied difficulty.
about Companies, there's a post I wrote few days it needs
somea lot of editing and I'll publish itI see how Dark Souls instead is not a boring option. You can go the boring way and grind till you power up enough to make a boss fight easy, but skillful players can win bosses without any grinding. It's a game in which you can win by skill alone :)
I didn't say you can't win without skill.
Ah, didn't focus too well on the comment, just forgot the main point of the post and thought "Wow, someone thinks Dark Souls is a boring grinding game". Sorry :)
That's what he meant saying:
It doesn't mean Dark Souls only does The Boring Option.... but you can use The Boring Option in it... and actually this game does all the three options quite good too.
I read the comment and noticed I just reacted too quickly and in a wrong way, as I had forgot what the post was about.. just saw the line about dark souls being boring and thought "This can't be serious" :D
haha!! it happened to me too... Once I replied about "suicide" to the wrong comment in the wrong post.
