Doom eternal, gonna do taras nabad ultra nightmare
for that reason I replayed ds1 with mods since this postI finished portal. this was a bad suggestion. I don't think I'm ever playing a valve game after this one. the main reason I got suggested portal was because "it's relaxing and has a short completion time" well the first part of it really is but everything changes after testchamber 18 (18-19 are the last two levels and they're like half the game)
I needed 3 days to finish the game, so it's not short, and it's not easy for me either, I'm old and too much of a noob for this shit I barely finished original doom and hl1 with speedhack, sneaking mechanics and testing my reflexes mid game when the promise was something different = game isn't an enjoyable experience.
what gave me early signs that bullshit was about to come was the testchamber 18 stage in which you have to jump and press e without reaching the platform all while the fireball is being redirected. portal funneling was ok then at testchamber 19 you had to time the exit so quick that it was nearly impossible without speedhack. the hardest games I finished were all with the help of cheat engine and at testchamber 19 I just dialed up speedhack with no hesitation. I wasn't in the mood for more bullshit.
I still think the first half of it (pre testchamber 18) was enjoyable, so idk. it sits right on my boundary for things being too difficult to be enjoyable.
So far the most enjoyable game I ever played was superhot. it was way more of a better experience than this.
I frankly don't know how pissed I would be if I decided to re-play and complete dark souls 1, I dropped this game when I was a kid so I'll avoid it.
@TooSomething can relate to this part?now I understand why most gamers and autists want more difficulty because if you finish shit like this without a cheat you're bound to ask for more. people call it masochism or skills but it's really just adaption/addiction to difficulty in games which after you wouldn't be able to enjoy anything less and must ask for more.
I have never played any of these games. The toighest nut for me was Crash Bandicoot 1.@TooSomething can relate to this part?
DARK SOULS III
1000 hours on HOI4 and total war gamesAlways interested to know what people are playing atm, especially fellow brocels. I'll begin, feel free to discuss your thoughts on a game or what I'm playing right now
Doom 2016 - This game is a balls to the wall exhilarating shooter, that shoots 1st and asks questions later, still need to play Eternal as well
Ghost of Tsushima - Brilliant open world samurai game, to whet my appetite for AC Shadows, loved Sly & InFamous as well
Call of Duty Cold War - Surprised to be into COD after dismissing it most my gaming life. It's addictive as hell and this is a banger of a COD
MGS5 - Back into this, gameplay is amazing but fuck getting S Rank on every mission, why can't they just make these trophies more reasonable
Elden Ring - Soldiering through this but its a slog tbh, loved the souls games, this is 1 of the worst imo, has no place being open world
Streets of rage 4 - What a retro throwback this is and the 2D artstyle and visuals are gorgeous. The antithesis to every open world
AC Mirage - Always playing some AC 1 way or another, this series has been like crack to me, addictive formula like COD and the rich tapestry of Baghdad is hard to resist
Solo? Always curious how people play these games, I play them solo ever since og Demons souls. I still need to beat DKS3, not played it in years, same for ER & Sekiro which I have. Tbh the only fromsoft games I beat was Bloodborne & Dark Souls 2 SOTFS. Got very far in the others but never beat. I'd like to beat ER, Sekiro, DKS3 eventually.DARK SOULS III
Yes, solo. I'm getting towards the end of the game and it's overrated. First 2/3 of the base game is mid but tbf the last 1/3 is peak. Ashes of Ariandel dlc is bad & I haven't reached the second dlc yet.Solo? Always curious how people play these games, I play them solo ever since og Demons souls.

ye solo is definitely the proper way to play these games as intended. Dark Souls 1 was great, never finished it, think I made it past Blight town which was a memorable area. I always play as knight in these games with a sword and shield and some ranged magic. I wish I had more of a varied play style but I never make it far enough to unlock the best gear and magic. I need to get back to Elden Ring, not played it in years, I have 100+ hours into it but still haven't beat the main game. The DLC expansion is supposed to be nightmare fuel, not sure if I'd be ready for that. As for Sekiro, well I've been stuck on Ganichiro for fucking years, can't seem to beat that bastard.Yes, solo.

My favourite fromsoft souls games has to be Bloodborne & Dark Souls 1.
I find them actually relatively easy to play compared to other games, since the story is told via the environment & item descriptions rather than through overt cinematic storytelling. I also find their dying worlds, peaceful and calming to play.
