I'm not telling casuals to stop playing or even for the people who are bad at playing games to stop. It's true, it's their money, their time, their hobby. But you know what? It's mine as well. I'm asking for them to stop asking the devs to put in "god mod" and "skip combat" options. I'm sorry but no. That's cheating. I could and will avoid these options but if my games start becoming easier and easier (even on harder modes) because the devs are trying to pander to a larger base then hell, I'm going to be annoyed. Am I not allowed to be upset at this trend? Am I considered an elitist now? I'm not even THAT good at games. Skill-wise, I play like the average player except I play enough to get better when I suck.

I enjoy a challenge. The complaint that combat is a nuisance and should have an option to be skipped is something that I just can't agree with. Decently difficult combat that involves patience and strategy brings me closer to the game and it's characters. It makes me feel accomplished when I actually win. I'd rather praise a game with decently challenging gameplay & great story and characters than one with amazing story/characters and very weak gameplay.



Since people have asked what I play...I play many kinds of games. My favorites tend to be action rpgs but I'm pretty okay at shooter based games too. One of my favorite games in terms of combat and customization is Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. I love it. The pawn system is amazing.

My complaints:
-The story is weak.
-The game never holds your hand so it's extremely easy to accidentally weaken your character's potential by leveling as the wrong classes or to miss important npc quests (resulting in too much wiki guide reliance).
-Some classes need serious balancing (sorcerer).

The game was made on a whim so I'm not going to be too harsh on it but it has SO much potential. They're planning a sequel so I hope they work on some of the weaker bits of the game. I recommend it to those who love character customization and semi challenging combat. I'd advise new players to take it slow. Dragons Dogma Wikia is your bestfriend for your first playthrough.
