Been a while since I've thought Yahtzee is absolutely right. I really, really want Bayonetta 2, that is my only interest in the next console generation since they all seem to have started a dickwaving contest before any of them have anything to actually show.

Since when did bad graphics, outdated design choices and simplistic level design stop being criticisms?

True but most people are perfectly happy to pay to be beta testers for the longevity of an MMO it seems so I don't have to worry about that.

WoW. There's no point buying an MMO on launch because it could die within a month and you've wasted your money.

Top fucking percentage.

Bayonetta's tutorial on Normal teaches you the basic mechanics of the game. Bayonetta's tutorial on the highest difficulty teaches you that life is unfair and often painful. "Do 3 torture attacks!" Eh no problem... wait... why are you spawning in fucking Gracious and Glorious? Demon's...

Well since this is a recorded playthrough that means we can set conditions right? Hmm what's a good one for Sif... eh other than pissing off the Forest covenant there's not really much and even that only adds like 5 enemies. Do a zero damage run. I'd also suggest the armour. It probably won't...

When you report someone for being bad at the game it even has a little message under the report window basically saying "We will ignore this report, you're wasting your time filling it in". Think they only put it in so that people would stop using other sections and making them go through chatlogs.

Huh on one hand she's an idiot and I hope she fails but on the other she does have a point. The church isn't taking donations, they're actually charging a fee to see a work they have no claim to.

Eh I just have no interest in them. Too reaction focussed, games where you need to be giving your full attention constantly need an overall length of about 30-45 minutes not 5-10 hours. Too draining otherwise.

Does Persona 4 count as old? If so, that, if not Spellbreaker. Seriously one of these days I will get around to actually completing that game. :(

Portal is pretty much the best start I can think of. It's that mix of platformer gameplay with shooter controls so it's pretty much the best you can go to if you've been playing loads of Mario. I don't think someone who has no interest in the genre would have any reason to forgive 20 year...

Huh just as I was considering picking it up. Always been meaning to get around to playing that.

Yeah you can but you're sure as hell not supposed to as far as the designers intended so it's not fake difficulty that they're so disproportionately tough. I don't think it makes sense that having easy enemies is fake difficulty either, of course the first area isn't going to throw anything too...

You can't take on a self-imposed challenge like fighting every black knight as soon as you see it then complain that the game is full of fake difficulty. None of them are in areas you have to go to, you choose to fight them that early on.
