*you’re
Heil Grammer!!!
Joke’s on you, I was never good in the first place
I picked Elden Ring back up today (why no, it has nothing to do with the DLC). I’m still garbage.
Souls-likes are pretty much the antithesis of what I personally enjoy in games. They seem stressful as fuck and my capacity for handling more stress is currently somewhere near zero
They don’t have to be, I feel like their reputation might be what stresses newcomers to the genre more than the game itself.
Oh trust me, I know myself. I really haven’t had the energy to play challenging games in a while now, so games like Cloudpunk, Sable, Lightyear Frontier, The Invincible, etc etc have been right up my alley. Anything I don’t have to grind, I have enough of that in my life as it is
That’s fair, it’s personal preference I suppose. If ever you’re interested, remember that there are always cheats/mods that can make the game easier if you want to experience the world and story.
That’s a good tip. I keep hearing lots of positive things about the story and the world, so it’d be fun to check it out for myself
Years ago my friend group was heavily into Beat Saber, custom maps, the whole deal. We played at least 3 hours a day, every day, all piling into a dorm and taking turns on a Vive until we were so tired we couldn’t move. After graduating and moving I hadn’t bothered to set the whole VR rig back up again. I finally dusted it off a few months ago and holy crap have I gotten out of shape. It took me a good 12 hours of playing to get into the swing of things and several more hours to hit full pace but I’m back. I’ve lost 12 lbs too - this game’s intense.
My still good at it.
I recently loaded up Street Fighter Alpha 3 for the first time in at least 20 years and blew through it. Of course, Bison wiped the floor with me but I won every round up to him.
Of all video game bosses in existence, fighting game bosses are the most bullshit of them all. You typically have to find some way to cheese them to death before they do it to you.
This is not BG3 for me
I came back to counterstrike with CS2 and couldn’t figure out for a few round why everything felt so wrong until I realized my flipping crosshair was moving! Disabled that and started murdering folk.
Or . . . you load that old save game and think, “oh yeah. NOW I remember why I stopped playing this.”
4 me this is hypixel
Your fingers would remember their old strength better, if they grasped your AWP.
Me loading up A Link to the Past and still having a full memory of every palace, which areas are secrets, which walls make the satisfying clink clink clink, and how to get the Golden Master Sword without having to check GameFAQs:
“Hell yeah. Zelda, go put on your green tunic and let’s go save Link.
Team fortress 2 is completely unrecognizable to me
I just fired up Donkey Kong Country recently after lowkey bragging about how I knew all the secrets, despite playing it last years ago. Partner was like, “Aight. Show.”
“Kay”
And to my surprise I still remember where everything is and breezed past all except one level so far.
And you all know which fucking level that was.
I’ll go back to a game and load up a character with all my endgame gear and then die.
Has anyone else had the experience of going back to a game you haven’t played in a long time and some lower level part of your brain just remembers all the controls? Like when you try and remember which key does what, you can’t, but then you start playing and your brain just does the thing.
Yes, absolutely. My dad recently purchased the same model of electric guitar he had as a teenager and he felt the same way about it.
