What do you think about games that are challenging? When I was a kid it was an accomplishment to complete a game. You would brag and say "I wrapped 4 games" or " I wrapped that game". Now it's not an accomplishment. It's like watching a movie. You'll reach the end eventually. You won't feel like you accomplished anything but you'll of been entertained.

I like the idea of a game not everyone can beat (everyone can though if they take the time to learn it).
In Dark Souls you feel accomplished when you beat a boss and in Gran Turismo you feel like you know the ins and outs of a course because you can execute all the turns quickly and get a good lap time. That doesn't exist in arcade racing games.

In a lot of games that appeal to the non gamer, the turns don't require skill and precision and the bosses are forgettable.
You're entertained but don't ever feel like you earned anything in the game.

What are your thoughts on challenging games?

Also this is in no means meant to belittle non gamers or fans of easier games. Everything has an audience and I can find enjoyment in playing need for speed and jumping a ramp and going 30 feet in the air. That's cool too but I find enjoyment in challenging games that I can't get in games that are only there to entertain you.

Share your thoughts even if you don't like these kinds of games.

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
time for a new avatar :)
