"There is something oddly soulless about how modern games approach the question of difficulty. Tutorials are, by and large, rigidly conceived and frequently absurd, having to necessarily oblige the thickest, least-skillful and most-stoned audience members. Some tutorials are so slobberingly accommodating you practically want to leave money for them on the dresser once they have had their way with you. Or think of a game like Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. During its puzzle sequences (and, really, these are "puzzles" along the lines of keeping straight the crucial differences between a square and triangle), if you cannot figure something out due to your recent stroke, the game drops a broad hint. You are then given a moment to act on it. If you do not, the game pretty much tells you exactly what you are supposed to do. While playing Uncharted 2, I sometimes had the distant thought of how much I missed the days of being trusted to figure out stuff on my own."
With so many PS5 exclusives to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming to pick which one to play. This is especially true for a new PlayStation gamer who has yet to experience the wonder of PlayStation-exclusive storytelling. So, here's KnowTechie's take on the best PS5 exclusives in 2024 and beyond
PlayStation is killing it with the exclusives this year. Exclusive wise, what has xbox released this year?
Returnal, Astro Bot, and Ratchet made having it since day one worth it.
GT7 free updates and Spiderman 2 and others at 60fps have made this last year more than okay.
But yeah, it’s been dry lately. BG3 and third party have made great filler, but we ready for that SOCOM or Killzone announcement and some more 1st party goodness. Crossing fingers for Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement this summer.
Didn’t know Helldivers was exclusive! Wtf is going on at Xbox that they can’t get these games, series s strikes again.
Looks like they are on par with the previous gens. Solid games all around. Interestingly enough, we can't say they released a bad game yet this gen. Unlike the Quiet Man dustup.
I actually do not mind if Marathon releases on multiple platforms . I just wish that Marathon has a dedicated single player campaign.
You might not be able to believe this, but Dark Souls is a pretty tricky game on the PlayStation 3.
There's no better way to enjoy your PS5 than with friends, so here's our picks of the best co-op games on the console.
they want the gamers to actually beat the game so the gamers can see all the stuff that they worked on.
and demon's souls is like any other rpg. just level up enough and then the game becomes easier.
The latter for sure. Demon's Souls really isn't as hard as people claim it to be, it just requires patience. It's the very fact that people are pampered beyond belief in popular RPG's such as Oblivion and Mass Effect (which I freaking love don't get me wrong.)
Games of this difficulty level were the norm in the 8-bit/16-bit era. The gamers of today just weren't around to experience them. And that's not their fault, it's the just the way modern development is approached.
Demon's Souls isn't hard. The only reason people condemned the game is because the game requires patience and strategy. If you rush in Demon's Souls then guess what you're going to end up as a bloody splat on the ground.
Games are too easy. Demon's Souls requires a basic amount of intelligence. We have to dumb down everything for the mentally deficient, these days. This is the problem.
