You've either only played arcade games all your life or started gaming on 360. Almost all the best console japanese franchises pre 360 had extremely sparse saving. Final Fantasy and the majority of jrpgs, Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Ninja Gaiden. Even souls is praised for being unforgiving when it's doing the same thing Japanese developers have done since the beginning. It wasn't till western PC crud invaded consoles where people started getting adjusted to quick and auto saves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We aren't kids anymore, we have more commitments to worry about and less time/patience to commit to long gaming sessions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LOL. i played like 30 minutes of the og demon's souls and was like "fuck this" lol. edit: just found this article on deadly towers. it's sad that i was hardcore when i was like 10 lol. https://www.engadget.com/2007-08-02-virtually-overlooked-deadly-towers.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

102020393023445948594 2,223 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 feels so good to be on the winning team. imagine another generation of watching sony style on you with you AAAE's every few weeks while you cling onto forza motosports Sony delivering once again with a mature AAAE new ip. How do they do this so often? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ike★ 2,906 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Game has been great. No prolonged tutorial, fantastic atmosphere, and really awesome world building. I’m playing this with Pulse 3D headset as well and the sound design needs to be praised too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It seems that any hint of a challenge is a turn off for you. You just want a "win now" button on your games it seems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Half of the people end up hating it/find it disappointing, or with RE6, EVERYONE. Plus, this is basically RE7 without VR in typical Capcom fashion of rehashing a solid game, but worse RE7 was second best game of 2017 tho. Only beaten by one of the best WRPG of all time, Divinity 2 Original Sin. lol I think a more ambitious RE7 is going to be awesome, especially right now with nothing else competing on its level and we'll see a VR update at some point guaranteed, maybe with the arrival of PSVR2.

Why do you constantly state your shitty opinion as fact? RE7 wasn’t even in the top 10 for 2017 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,230 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 this game makes a good argument for Nintendo to turn Metroid's gameplay into 3rd person camera and turn it into more shooting and avoiding enemy fire combined with jumping and platforming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You don't get permanently stronger. This is a rouglelike without any rpg elements what so ever. No XP, no LVL bars to fill, no crafting new weapons. Each run starts you off with just a pistol. The only thing permanent is any new ability (which are super rare) the game gives you through story progression . It's more reliant on you simply getting good and taking the time to find good loot in the 10-15 areas before the boss that you think will help you take down the boss when you get there in that run. If you defeat the area boss in that run, he stays dead permanently. Die and its completely back to square one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
