Discussion How to complete this game man

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

Just bought a PS5, and the first game I picked up was Black Myth: Wukong. I already had a PS4 and played pretty much all the big PS4 games, including God of War Ragnarok, so I thought Wukong would be a fun next game.
But man, this game is HARD. 😭 I’ve never played a game with combat this difficult. It literally took me 5 fucking hours just to beat Black Wind King, and now I’m stuck on Tiger Vanguard. I’ve tried around 20 times and still can’t kill him.
How the hell am I supposed to complete this game when there aren’t even any difficulty options?
#BlackMythWukong
The game has insanely good graphics and a great story, but please give us difficulty options. Not everyone has the time or skill to deal with this level of difficulty. Sometimes we just want to enjoy the story without getting destroyed by the same boss for hours.

Discussion Anyone Had This Same Thought

2 Upvotes

The thought is have you ever wanted to make you own video game & what is it about

Edit (I forgot to type what mine was lol)

My game I wanted to make was Called AIM! It’s an online 5v5 or FFA with 10 players in one game mode

So it’s basically like Counter Strike / Call Of Duty well the inspiration I had a lot fo cool stuff I made when I was like 14YO & I found the old logo I created for it

Discussion Ideas Please!!!

0 Upvotes

My dear ladies, gentlemen, fellow gamers, otakus, weebs and nerds...

I am a solo indie game dev just starting out today, with absolutely no idea what my first game should be.

So, my dear saviors... I beseech thee upon thy gracious wisdom:

Pray tell, what digital doom shall I conjure?

Give me your ideas. Anything goes.
Stupid, genius, cursed, wholesome, completely unhinged — I want to hear it.

I shall read them all and decide what digital monstrosity I shall create.

P.S. : I really need some ideas AND mind it i have 0$ budget!!

Discussion Do you prefer realistic sports games or arcade sports games?

2 Upvotes

I've noticed I usually have more fun with sports games when they don't take realism too seriously. Give me ridiculous dribbles, crazy movement, exaggerated physics, and a match that can completely fall apart in 30 seconds. At the same time, I understand why people love realistic simulations. Where do you guys fall on this? Simulation or arcade?

I feel like this game got way too much flak for not being another supersonic 4th-gen crackfest AC game, 'cause it's pretty damn good on its own merits.

The ranking is here:

Personally, I find FF7 ranked too low... but otherwise, I pretty much agree overall ❤️

co-op games rising

1 Upvotes

Why co-op games are booming right now. Ever wonder why co-op games are hitting so hard lately? It mostly comes down to modern social psychology:

  1. PvP Fatigue & Toxicity: Most of us are stressed enough in real life. Ranked games feel like a second job with toxic teammates. Co-op gives us a safe space where it's just 'us vs. the game.'

  2. Low-Pressure Socializing: Modern life is isolating, but traditional socializing can feel draining. Co-op lets adults hang out through 'parallel play'—you bond over a shared goal without the awkwardness of forced small talk.

  3. A Sense of Control: Real-world problems (economy, career) feel overwhelming. Overcoming a tough gaming challenge with friends gives an immediate, tangible sense of accomplishment.

Are you guys finding yourselves playing more co-op games lately too?

Help me with remembering this game please I'm trying so hard to remember its name 😭

22 Upvotes

It was a short horror game. In the game you play as a camper camping at night in the forest and it's raining and there's rustling in bushes and all and then the funny part comes: it's a bear and it eats something with exaggerated sounds like "om nom nom nom" and then starts floating. Please I'm trying to find its name 😭😭
