Anyway I launched Dark Souls... A game I have never finished.
I do not remember anything. Feels like I forgot how to even walk.

@afreytes If games need anything, it's an optional tutorial refresher when they see a big time difference in loading of saves

@afreytes i think games should have more standardised controls instead of spending innovation points on swapping roll/attack buttons

@afreytes many modern games do that now, sometimes it ends being a bit annoying (mostly AAA games are the ones that aren't well configured with reminders)

@bri7 Agree

@octopuddle oh, surfacing the tutorial according to last time played sounds great, sure hope Sony doesn't patent that

@afreytes I'm surprised Nintendo already hasn't lol

@bri7@social.treehouse.systems @afreytes@mastodon.gamedev.place Everytime I pickup tthe controller for my pc, I want to firebomb both Nintendo and Microslop, because they inverted labels on the buttons. So the fool that I am, with a controller compatible with both pc and switch, on pc has to press Y when the on screen control says X. -

@bri7@social.treehouse.systems @afreytes@mastodon.gamedev.place car UX/UI is enough of a mess already for everything except the steering wheel, I think.

@octopuddle @afreytes dude for real that would be useful. I get to game infrequently.
And it's really hard to remember controls for games like Red Dead.
Bethesda games are pretty much engraved in my brain though.

@txtechnician @afreytes It often puts me off going back to something, since even just redoing the tutorial level is an overly long and laborious process that takes too long.

@afreytes How far did you get in DS? Or is this you restarting it again?
That game has some spots i dread returning to even as someone who's finished it 2 or 3 times

@VileLasagna @NaClKnight This is still my first DS play through. From whenever Dark Souls Remastered was discounted and on XBox.
I think I am one boss away from opening the door that the snake warps you to.
But I think that boss, which has clones, I have to have the curse so I can damage it (like the ghosts).
Honestly, I think DS is fun to play. What I dislike, since I dont know it by heart, is when you need some item, and the game maybe tells you once.

@afreytes @NaClKnight Hmmm.... would you like some guidance in that direction or would you like to figure things out by yourself from here?
Also, yeah, these games have a weird relationship to information. They like being obtuse and cryptic with a lot of stuff. I enjoy playing mostly blind at first but these games really assume a community to figure them out and share info in many ways so they CAN be frustrating with many things
