Wonder what changed. Did people just go off horror…?
[ thinks about all the remakes of rpgmaker horror games that are now coming out like REMAKE? THESE ARE NEW? ]
…
[ oh this is huge nerd hours but she is Trying. ] So it’s not only knowing what you’re doing, it’s— muscle memory and reaction speed based as well? That doesn’t sound especially newcomer friendly…
[ Maybe I have just picky standards for horror. HOLDS THE FIRST HALF OF PARANORMASIGHT CLOSE TO ME. Square do more horror IPs you have potential. ]
Yeah, I guess so. But isn't every video game kind of like that? The people who've played it a long time know everything they have to do, but newcomers have to learn.
But in the worst case scenario, like you said, you can always just button mash.
[ listen, square should do this i would play it even though i am the horror weenie and was like AAAAAA AM I FREE YET by the end of the first half of paranormasight. we love a jumpscare and eerie lore based horrors though. oooooOOOooooOOooOooooo… ]
Some games aren’t competitive though— although I have heard people say M*rio P*rty ruins friendships and families, so maybe it is a universal thing.
[ well.
ok she will take the other set of controls and she will Button Mash ]
