I love stuff with very dense and complex mechanics. The lack of mechanical dexterity and it's consequences have fried the gamer race. I've talked about it before but for me the most fun I have had in games is MMO style raids/dungeons. Stuff that needs multiple people doing very specific things while under time and enemy pressure, even better if movement can play a role along with it all. The brainrot "puzzles" this guy is talking about are because the average gamer is a down syndrome toddler. The amount of times in games where the most simple things are either ignored completely or impossible to complete by some random retard is ridiculously high. Dipshit phone gamers, boomers tickled by "beating a heckin level!11!1!1!!1!1" in babies first whatever, rightoids circle jerking some 20 year old shit that is basically a walking simulator (game won't even boot). If any off these people encounter a mechanic that requires more than whatever nigger tier gameplay they are used to wading around in, they can't do it. Good luck even getting a rightoid to try and play a game, let alone not suck ass at it. They all seem to like complaining about them more than anything. Never played Stellar Blade but I'm not surprised that its cooked. I'm assuming it's a gook game which means less quality of life than a bathtub toaster moment. There is also the demographic that has no time for games and I always wonder why they stick around. If I'm ever at a point where I am only scraping up a couple hours a week to play some vidya I'm just gonna find something else to do. I'm sure some of that group does have a full schedule if they're working a ton, have kids, etc. but it's not all of them. Some of them are this thing I still haven't come up with a good term for. Me and tactical call them fake gamers but it's not particularly accurate. The type that plays them minimally, does nothing when they do actually play, and loves to talk about the le epic times from years ago when they played halo 2 once. To me it's all just different levels of tourist. Also, people apparently can't remember anything ever, even after seeing it repeatedly. I have known people who have games they played for hundreds or thousands of hours and if it isn't something they played recently, it's as if they never played it at all. Hell this would happen sometimes while we were actively playing something. We would rerun through something my group had done to an obnoxious degree and you couldn't even tell we had done it before. As soon as it's not in front of them the whole thing is memory-holed.
