Note that the protag for red/green is like 10 yo, so he is threatening to punch a child...

Last month I finished Castlevania Lords of Shadow for the first time, playing about 1 hour a day. The game is in chapters and the subchapters are usually short, if you are not trying to get 100% of course.

Instead of getting your Pokémon to beat up their pokemon... Do it yourself! Beat them up!

Your sessions sound so few and far between that it would make it hard to play pretty much anything that's about a story. Or where you would need constant reminders about how the gameplay works.

Honestly it might be hard if you can't find demos or trials, but I would recommend maybe trying to find a casual genre that you enjoy playing. What comes to mind is maybe fighting games like mortal Kombat, racing games, or maybe a sports game.

So what you're telling me is you're butthurt. Cool.

I gotta be honest. I recently finished playing GTAV's story mode again after having not played it for a couple of years. It really put me in a GTA mood and I wanted to keep that going so, seeing how much praise this game always gets, I decided to go backward and give GTAIV a try. I've put about 3 hours into playing the game and total and at this point I'm on the verge of just calling it and giving up. I just can't get into it. I find everything just kind of blah, depressing, and boring. The much vaunted driving physics in particular annoy me rather than satisfy that itch I was trying to scratch.

Anyone got any words of encouragement? I'm not super far into the story...Probably about an hour and a half of that 3 hours is story missions so far. Is this just a "push through until it gets good" situation? Or is the hype for GTAIV more based in nostalgia than the actual reality of the game? Keep in mind when considering that question that I have also gone back and started replaying San Andreas and so far that one is way more engaging and fun.

Slay the Spire.

I want a more adult pokemon where the villains are actually dangerous who will actually kill people

So what you're telling me is that you have no fucking idea why these regulatory bodies exist. Gotcha.

A Short Hike is a nice time that lasts for a short time, and I'd recommend Toem for the same reason. Both are feel good, single-player, low time investment games.

Dead cells!

It's still not an existing IP. Sony fans have not been deprived of any titles they've been able to play for years. Outside of Bethesda, Microsoft also owns Mojang and Minecraft. That a hugely successful title that is still available on multiple platforms. Microsoft could have taken that away. They could have taken Fallout, Skyrim etc away but they haven't.

If Sony had the money to do the same thing Microsoft is doing, would they do things any different than Microsoft? Sony's exclusive developers/games remain exclusive to their consoles. The outrage seems to be that you and everyone else hates that Microsoft has more money. But unless they take all these pre-existing titles away, what is there to really complain about?

Street fighter 5

And they've already told Microsoft that they don't like the deal. One in Europe outright told them that promising COD on the Switch doesn't change anything for them.

everyone who is into fighting games was new at some point

Something linear. Doesn't require much engagement of memory. Aim shoot kill and move on.

Platform games or a first person shooter prolly best.

The South Park games (Stick of Truth, Fractured But Whole) are easy to pick up and play and way better than they should be

Wanna go bowling?

sf?

what's that?

Fortnite

are sure about this?

I am new to the fighting game genre and I have seen some videos on the internet saying that "fighting games aren't hard, this belief is a stigma" and the people on these videos ALWAYS mention how much people are scared of combos.

I am pretty sure that the reason why everyone hates combos is due to this mechanic making hard to practice on them.

(also the people who are making these videos either are pros or have never seen a begginer trying to beat the practically impossible frustrating stressfull sorry poor excuse for a tutorial of skullgirls and dead or alive 6).

Exclusives are bad for consumers, and we shouldn't support any system having them. Sony has been poring some games over to pc, so that's a step in the right direction. I'd like to see more posts about wanting these franchises on other platforms. Not just over to pc. I'd love to see the day xbox players get to play them too, but that'll likely never happen.
