Current Events > I don't understand the Fans of From Software Games.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Think of all the resources that will have to be diverted from other features!

Quests are about to become even buggier now with all the resources this will gobble up

Or, maybe people could understand there is a niche market for people who want to eat burgers without buns. And this place brings joys to those people. A reasonable person who doesn't want to eat their burger without a bun will still have thousands of other options of burger joints. Maybe instead of shouting at this one place to cater to them, and make this unique burger joint like every other burger joint, they could just go to one of the thousands of other burger joints and let the bun hating burger eaters enjoy this unique burger joint that creates burgers the way they want to, not the way the masses tell them to.

I need the pause button when I need to make some soup.

Can we pause this thread for a second, I need to make a sandwich.

A solution that works like a pause button has been posted multiple times, so you can go make some soup.

Ok, but while you try to make the sandwich soldiers and dogs will attack you.

You know what else works like a pause button? The ability to hit a button and pause, not a weird glitch that requires you to find an answer online.

Maybe the next Souls gone shouldn't have an obvious options menu either. Tired of all the handholding entitled gamers wanting logical menu design. 99.9% of games have that casual nonsense.

Theres no niche market for people who want to play games without a pause function

And the people who happily play Soul games are... what, then?

happy to play the game despite its flaws, not because of them

Not reading this whole topic but demons souls Remake has a photo mode button so that counts?

If Pokemon fans make the same defenses for Game Freak in this topic they'd be called a lot worse than anything in this topic.

"They have done things this way for so long why would you expect anything different?"
"If you don't like it why don't you play some other games?!"

Like the reason people make these criticisms is because they otherwise like the games. It's a normal way to talk about games. For some reason the conversation around From has shifted to the point where people seem to take it personal for some bizarre reason.

Thanks for speaking for us. Couldn't have done it without you.

So you bought Elden ring specifically because it cant be paused? That specific reason?

I prefer it not having a pause button, but that's not the reason, no.

You said there was a market for people who want to play games because they dont have a pause function

• Pause button when you are solo. Disabled if coop, invaded or opened yourself up for either of those scenarios
• God mode cheat code
• Tourist mode cheat code (all enemies removed from the world)
• Riot mode cheat code (all enemies fight each other as well as you)
• Stable 60fps framerate

So if Miyazaki develops a new game that is released in the West, but not localized you'll defend it, right? "99.9% of games in the West are samey bullshit. Let us have our niche that brings us joy. This game isn't for people too lazy and casual to learn how to read Japanese!"

Or maybe it just won't have sound, or a stable framerate, or the ability to turn off motion blur. These aren't flaws or oversights. They're art! But only when From does it! They're not some weak ass Westerners that bend to the will of the players!

To respond to this barely comprehensible, unhinged nonsense:

Yes. I would love for Miyazaki to go back to not listening to the small minded masses and make a truly unique vision again. Much like my boy Kojima continues to do, unshackled from Konami.

This immersion reasoning is pretty lulzy.

Guys, it's just bad coding. It's okay. From doesn't care and frankly, I don't care that much either. From still makes the best games.

if it was bad coding it wouldn't be in sekiro lol

Sekiro doesn't have online functionality

and there are built in offline modes in the souls games. But I guess they just forgor skull emoje

it's almost like it's intended and not a flaw or a coding error :o

again if we could be adults about this we'd have less posts about me mad about design decision and more actually trying to figure it out

and you've already been told that you not liking it doesn't actually make it a flaw.

i know it's a tough one to wrap your head around, but just because you don't like something doesn't make it objectively bad.

but i'm not exactly expecting you to be able to advance the discussion, kloe. you kinda just poke in when others are talking for loose attention. sorry to have given it to you.

game design and optimization are on different strata. be less desperate with your gotchas.

I think figuring out how to implement pause for different online states in a specific game is a type of optimization

that's fine. they don't see it that way, so commentary like that doesn't really amount to much, but good on you for putting it in a post.

also holy shit lmao all these sealions.
