      @Ryoshikari I think she was making a gag, and I was too. Unfortunately, you took it too seriously. Its honestly fine it people have the critique that the game is overly difficult and they'd like more accessible modes.

      once you understand the game and level up your guns, its really not that hard. I died a lot in the first 1-3 levels but finished 4-6 on the first try. I almost never died on NG+. And i played for almost 100 hours. 4-6 also have way better perks on guns like healing rounds and turrets that make the game far easier.

      @@dapperfan44 that's a common feeling, so I get it.
      It feels like an artifact of gaming though. Almost every tabletop game in history (Legacy games being a newer thing) resets you to the starting point at game's end. We don't complain when a Go board is cleared or we toss playing cards back into the deck. Why do we assume that saved progress is or should be a default?
      That's how I see it anyway. I am not being reset, I am dealing another hand.

    • @dapperfan44
      @dapperfan44 3 года назад +2

      @@michaelmcdermott1624 I suppose it's for a few things.
      You grow up in the 80s and 90s (I'm actually 1990-born) and you know that when you lose all of your lives in Mario 1 and Sonic 1, you have to start all over. Then your only punishment for failure in Mega Man 1 is that you have to try the level again or pick a different level.
      Then Donkey Kong Country rolls around and if you lose all your lives, you can reload your save and try again-but you lose partial progress if you didn't make it to Candy's Save Point, or you lose some levels if you didn't best Tawna's Bonus Round in Crash Bandicoot. In Mario 64 you can save after every star, and you can pause and save at any time in Donkey Kong 64.
      Then in Crash Bandicoot 2 and Spyro the Dragon, you have frequent save opportunities and when you lose, you simply start back from the last time you died and any progress you lose is your own fault from not saving.
      Then you get to Banjo-Tooie, Jak and Daxter, and Ratchet and Clank, to find that Game Over screens have been eliminated and lives are gone entirely. Games from that point on become much less punishing and operate on a checkpoint system, save some holdovers-both Mario and Sonic games continued to have lives until Mario Odyssey and Sonic Forces in 2017. (It's kind of strange to think it took both franchises over 25 years to get rid of lives.)
      So here you are, you play these franchises, branch out into some shooters, and different types and genres of games that all have the same core of getting from point A to point B. But here comes this game that is outside of a genre you normally play, but has enough aspects of a genre you do play. So you play it, and you find out that all those years of games getting easier have been thrown out the window in this title. You can't even cut this game off. And Heaven help you if you put the console in rest mode and it updates overnight. There's all your progress, chump.
      But I admit that the game was fun. It's just the knowledge of knowing if I die here to this boss, or worse, to an "avenge this corpse" challenge, all my progress, all my scavenging, all my helpful items like Damage Siphon and being able to knock down yellow barriers will be gone.
      The game is definitely fun but for me personally, I couldn't put myself through that stress again. This one I'll play again, but I'll leave the roguelikes to the professionals.
      TL;DR years of growing up with games slowly adding features where failure doesn't mean you have to retry large portions of the game has programmed me to be less ok with a game that makes you start the whole thing over again.

      I mean its cool you got initiated into the souls series but dks2 is an abomination compared to the other games of the series. So yeah... hades is cool but is it really that good? No, its not. Its just a casual rogue lite so you can take baby steps. Now dont poop your pants.

      @@kato093 nice elitist attitude. Hades is a good rogue lite period. It solves a lot of the problems the genre has and at the same time makes it open for new people who never would've played it.
      And good job just assuming its the first rogue like/lite I've ever played. I've played a ton of them. All of them at a certain point you can just blow through them, Hades with its heat system constantly ups the challenge.

      @@jellybean358 to add to this the narrative is much better than any other rogue like I've played, which is a very short list.
      It's also one of, Imo, the best over all narratives in a game in a while, albeit simplistic but in its implementation.
      Hades might not be the best in challenge, I think the game play is tight, it's repatitive to a point, as all games in the genre are.
      Going to say something controversial using @kato093 referenced genre there.... Star Wars Fallen Order is a better game in that genre than the ones listed there, because the narrative is so much better.
      But by the same regard it's baby steps in terms of challenge in comparison.
      It's been a while since I watched their review of FO, but if memory serves they liked it, and I feel they would like or love Hades for the same virtues.
      It's probably one of those ones where Shelby would be more invested and end up putting more time in.

      @@kato093 First: bro dark souls 2 is generally accepted as the hardest dark souls game. People don't like ds2 because Miyazaki wasn't involved and the level design was weird not because it was easy. Second: hades is super hard. Just because its accessible and isn't insanely difficult to start doesn't mean its easy. It gives you the option to challenge yourself and rewards it. Beating hades with maximum heat and no death defiance is genuinely one of the most challenging things in a video game I can think of and I've beaten all the souls games to ng+7, and sekiros boss rush mode.

    Game is waaay too hard for the casuals. A lot people thought it’s an easy story game I have talked with and got their a** beaten up. I love Returnal, Biome 3 is one of the coolest looking levels I have ever seen. As a from software fanboy, I love challenge and Returnal is delivering it with one of the best gameplays and sounds ever. I hope this starts a new genre like demons souls did. I don’t care that casuals where disappointed because it’s not an brain off game with cutscene after cutscene. Gameplay is king and Returnal delivers. But looking someone playing it? No way. Returnal is not that type of Game.

      But godammit I love Returnal! Love it so much it took me 89 deaths and about 30 hours to beat the first boss, Phrike. After this kind of training I'm looking forward to killing Ixion with many deaths less.

It will hold your hand through the improvements while simultaneously kicking your ass to the point you don't even notice you are improving but you definitely are. The skills you pick up improve how you play massively too so don't be put off by struggling at the start. I honestly thought I'd never beat the first boss, then the second boss, then the game itself.

    Excellent and hilarious review. Recently beat the game and it's my GOTY for this year by a mile. Just outstanding game all around. However, I don't think its roguelike structure works that well... there's a lot of strange design decisions they made around difficulty scaling and enemy damage modifiers. It's good, but I'd say Hades nails roguelike genre to perfection. Returnal succeeds in some aspects but stumbles its way through the second act a bit.
    Also, I enjoyed the time loop narrative but again, another game does it better: Outer Wilds. That game is pure exploration bliss, check it out if you haven't already.
    What Returnal excels at is being the best third-person bullet hell shooter on the market. There's nothing that even comes close. The other aspects of the game (roguelike, metroidvania elements, time loop narrative, etc.) are all done better by other games.

    I was totally one of those people who was like "It looks fun but do I want to pay £70 for it?" and then Shelby said "Metroid Prime, Ratchet And Clank, And Doom Eternal" and now my pants are off. Definitely gonna buy it!

      I sincerely feel like Returnal was worth every ounce of my $70 and then some (can't stop playing), and tbh Resident Evil Village didn't justify it's $60 price to me.

      @@ag7367 that's fair! I think my expectations skewed a lot of that where I felt Returnal would be whatever and was really surprised, and then I wanted Village to be this tour de force because I love RE4 so much. just didn't click for me.

    Y'all should review Outer Wilds(not Outer Worlds). That's another good time loop game. Probably one of my all time favorites.

    I don't remember any of the trailers I saw for this game look even remotely intense. But the gameplay from this video made me instantly buy.
