Giant Bomb |OT31| I Think it Might Be for Show

Yeah, Jeff's the one that always evangelizes the "Normal" playthrough, even if it's not in the best interest of the game. And sneers when a game like Halo literally says otherwise.

I wouldn't throw Alex in the mix since I'm pretty sure he said in the of the recent Beastcasts that he tends to start games on Hard.

Yeah.

Vinny...vinny likes playing hard games? Witcher 3 isnt a cake walk for example.

Dan has mentioned that he likes playing hard games when the gameplays good(ie dmc3/dmc). Brad plays dota and thats always hard. I cant get a read on ben or abby. Jason...dont really know his tastes.

I love Halo, and hard is the way to go, but "the way its intended to be played" is some dumb bullshit that deserves to be called out.

We live in a world where Souls games are mass-market. Consumers clearly don't want every game to wrap them in cotton wool. If the best experience comes from playing it on hard, make that normal - you're doing your game a disservice otherwise.

bish gets all the credit :)
Enslaved and DmC are both middling to bad games, Brad loved both. Heavenly Sword is a bad bad bad game.

Funnily enough Jeff doesnt like the dark souls games.

So the "packaging" of a games difficulty isnt the issue here.

I loved all 3 but when I say loved, I don't mean the complete package. There are specific things I love about each game, particularly Enslaved and Heavenly Sword which both tell interesting stories in somewhat unique settings with good to great characters. In terms of gameplay though they're all EH with DmC being the standout(It doesn't compare with previous DMC games though).

The Souls game have built a lot of cache off the back of being punishing games and at this point, most people who didn't bounce off those games know what they're getting into. That doesn't mean these people are looking for similarly challenging experiences in their other games.

If Hugh Man buys Bloodborne 2 and then buys Halo 7 with the intention of playing on Normal instead of Heroic or Legendary, then they're probably doing it because they're looking for a comparable experience to Borderlands Normal or Uncharted Normal or [insert mass market shooter Normal here] that they've always played on.

i mean, maybe "the way it was designed" is the better usage? there is something to saying "this is how we balanced the game".

I just saw the new Xbox update. MS is slowly getting to a decent console interface. There is still too much unnecessary fluff though I don't need to see unless I specifically want to see it.

has there been a single NXT tag team that made it in the main roster

Revival made them all look even better than they were, but now Scott Dawson is out for 6 months I doubt they'll make it that big either, which is a huge bummer. They seemingly had match of the night every single NXT Takeover.

But hey, Kurt Angle got his son back at least, so American Alpha can split over such an emotional moment.

Enzo & Cass made it...sort of.

One can talk but has pissed everyone off backstage, the other one is tall. What a team.

So what you're telling me is that some of the supposed bad guys from wrestling have a sing-along with a chorus like something out of Disney cartoon made in the 1930s. Wrestling is some real cool guy stuff.

I renounced my cool guy status by signing up for a video game message board, then diluted it further by joining a back-alley community thread for another video game website.

But really it's an annoyingly catchy song.

I don't think I want to taint my YouTube account by clicking that link. I'll be getting served up Wrestling videos for a week. I'll take your word for it.
