Grimes is on 4chan?!
They're not dating anymore afaik
They were when this was posted.
No, if this were her then her bf would have paid someone else to play the game for him.
I'm just gonna put this anecdote out there:
When I first started dating my ex, I wanted him to play through some Dark Souls to see if he had any determination. He failed completely and whined a lot, but I kept dating him anyway. Nearly 5 years later, I ended up leaving him, and a big part of it was his defeatist outlook and complete lack of willpower.
I'm not saying being bad at Dark Souls is a red flag, but I think girlie would be justified in getting out now.
I've 100%'d all 3 souls games.
Can we date (As an experiment)? I suspect dating someone with the obsessive qualities to do this is also frustrating.
I've only 100%'d DS1, so I'm pretty impressed by your ability. I'm not obsessive enough over most of the franchise to get 100%, namely because there's sections of DS2 and DS3 I don't love replaying, but I love DS1 to death so I wanted to have the Dark Soul achievement.
Anyway, if you wanna shoot your shot dm me, just know you gotta be cool with bussy.
But here's the thing - I didn't enjoy dark souls when I tried, but I do enjoy other games that are very difficult for me and where I need to be determined to win
That's fair, and that's why I stayed with him for 5 years after watching him ragequit after losing 15 times to Asylum Demon. I was hopeful that it was just him bouncing off the game, and I also assumed he'd have other moments where he could show me what he was worth under stress. He never did, and eventually I became fully responsible for the both of us.
Like I said, being bad at DS isn't a red flag. Having no determination and constantly giving up at the first sign of adversity is a red flag. There's a very faint correlation between the two, but that's all.
It's probably more seeing how he reacts when frustrated that's the red flag.
If he kept his composure until he eventually stopped playing and said "I don't think this is my type of game", that would have been a more mature approach to the issue than whining.
the problem that i have, is that i'd have to be good at it, and enjoy it to be capable of playing it for an extended period of time, i would probably fail darksouls instantly, because i suck at competitive combat, shits too stressful for me, but if you sat me in front of (technical) minecraft or factorio i could cook like a motherfucker. There are different types of challenges, some people like combat, some people like analytical, and some people (me) really fucking enjoy implementation challenges.
You definitely need a better litmus test i think.
Hmm, I rage quit when the game crashed right as I was about to accomplish something I had been failing at for hours, and I haven't touched the game since. I have finished similarly difficult games though.
Am I salvageable?
Were you playing Remastered or Prepare to Die? If it was the OG Prepare to Die release...yeah that thing is a buggy mess and you'd probably have further frustrations with it later on. Remastered doesn't crash very often though, and the game is pretty good about saving progress, you could've hopped back on!
You also probably didn't have a cute boy cheering you on and trying to motivate you to improve either, which I really think would improve the experience of failing to kill Asylum Demon, but I don't think my ex agreed.
My SO hates it when I play dark souls. She says it increases the stress levels in our home.
My wife and i do a lot of game-cussin-at but if we start yelling at each other instead of the game we gotta do a kissin break
Well then your Superior Officer should send you away from the frontlines for some R&R.
Pfft, sometimes you just want wreck shit all casual. Ain't no shame in it as long as you aren't trying to pretend you're uber 1337, or fucking someone over.
I always say "there's no such thing as cheating in a single player game" and it's interesting seeing the varrying reactions. Some people take a minute and see the wisdom, others say "but...but...you're using cheats...that's cheating!"
I just don't understand it for games where the primary draw is difficulty. Like, if you take the difficulty out of a game like Dark Souls...it's not really all that good? The game has good atmosphere and an interesting story if you're willing to engage it, but both of those are inherently tied to the difficulty of the game. The idea is that you're struggling to succeed in the face of a dying world, and it all falls apart without the struggle.
Whereas if you're playing something like the Sims 4 or like GTA where the point is just to screw around, totally understand why you wanna add cheats or mods. It's your power fantasy, tune it how you like. But if you just want to turn a game like Dark Souls into a power fantasy, IMO there's so many better games out there for you to play that will give you a better experience.
There are games for that (GTA, Just Cause, any RPG ever), don't play a game that's intended to be challenging on god mode, because that kills the entire point of the game.
Nah, it doesn't.
The entire point of any game is to have fun while killing time.
sometimes that means just going ham. Sometimes it means jacking up the difficulty setting, or nerfing yourself, or speedrunning, or wandering around and doing nothing at all except look at the.graphics.
Maybe, for you the only point of a game is to fuck around on.whatever the max difficulty is, and I genuinely hope that you always have games that can give you that.
But, my gaming homie, there's no single point to gaming.
And, can we be real for a minute? Most games, the skill involved is hand-eye coordination combined with reflexes. Which is fine for what it is, but it isn't like the challenges involved are.something special.

Be me, playing STALKER 2
Spouse hates it
That's the whole story.
Something changed in my SO and now they love watching me play scary games and watch scary movies (they watch from the safety of their desk while playing games, not on the couch w/ me).
Nah, they love scary games, they just think STALKER sucks. Hits different when the NPCs call me "loner".
