This is like saying a meal tastes better if you eat it with a toothpick.

Name 3 good games that rely on rng.

some food does taste better with a stick
increasing mob life is a legitimate aspect of difficulty scaling since it requires more consistent performance from the player.
If Dark Souls enemies dealt half damage it wouldn't become huge with the casuals as a the hardest game of all time shit.
More health is boring, but double damage is unironically a good way to make a hard mode. I don't know why people still complain about this, as if development time could just be added to make complete structural AI changes on a mode for 5% players.
none
>game ends with the antagonist getting away without being punished for their crimes
any gamekinos for this feel?
Name 1 game that has easy mode locked behind beating the hardest difficulty
Who's the johan liebert of vidya?
condemned if you consider an heroing a way to get away with it
How is Monster? Always been curious about it
it's entertaining if you can put up with everything urasawa writes being contrived
Zone of the Enders or 2nd Runner, or both, can't remember.
It's great. It doesn't feel like a typical manga/anime series. It's kind of novelesque if you know what I mean, I'm not sure how to say it in a less faggy way. It's very dense and has interesting complex characters. It's not afraid to take things slow and go on what might seem to be unrelated side tangents. There is action but it's often brief and intense. It's not for everyone so I'd recommend checking it out and making up your own mind.
10/10. Grimmer is best boy.
Does the dick you slurp taste good with my nut?
Might check it out then. Cheers anons
There are plenty of Johanns. The real question is, who is the Grimmer of vidya?

Which games do all of this

>fling so much shit at you that the FPS drops
Sometimes extra damage can be good, but only if health is directly your "fuckup allowance" and skill is expressed by your ability to avoid damage, in any other case giving the enemy extra damage is only going to make it harder to engage with the systems that actually take skill.
I haven't watched Monster since I was in middle school
I remember loving it, but having a hard time sitting through it because of the pacing
I think it's time to revisit it, maybe I'll like it even more as an adult
Good show ruined by the ending.
is this anime overrated or is it worth a watch?
