🤠x avengers coming soon

I know there's a few games already out with this aesthetic, but I'd really like to see a whole movement of games headed in this direction in the same way the last decade and a half brought us a resurgence of pixel-2D games.

About gaming, life anything! I play a lot of the show and madden in my random free time, when I have more time to spare I’m 100%ing rdr2 and looking for a few other games to play, or just people to talk to!

Hey Guys! I am designing a social media app for gamers that is solely based on the gamers experience. Looking to see what is the biggest problems you face as a gamer with connecting with friends/Clans/E-sports teams. If you had one problem with gaming what is the biggest problem you face.

I appreciate any feedback as it would mean a lot to my team and me so we can provide a platform that can make a big impact.

I would love to hear your feedback!

HI!! I'm writing an article on online harrassment and its legal and mental health effects.

About to beat GTA V for probably the last time before VI comes out! This game was a staple of my generation (Mid Gen Z 2002-2009) and I watched many YouTube videos growing up about it. It’s been a crazy 13 years, but I’m proud to have been a part of this generation. Here’s to Vice!

Old-school MMORPGs didn't need them.

You'd be peacefully leveling your second hero when some random guy decided to kill you. ↓ So you logged onto your main and killed him. ↓ A few minutes later, he came back on his main. ↓ You called your guild. ↓ He called his. ↓ An hour later, the hunting spot had turned into a battlefield, and half the server was fighting over something that started with one level 15 dude

Hey community, I am making a survey to support my research on the CS2 and World of Warcraft Market - Pricing and Scarcity . This is my final project for my bachelor degree and I would love it if any of you could take 5 minutes to fill my survey. Thank you!

Edit: If you feel extra bored, you could send this to some of your friends :P, that would be super helpful!

It took me more than 8 hours they are lying

​I am happy that i finished the game more than that i played it , the game if i have to rate it out of ten i will give it 4 only , if i wanna rate it as ps1 game i might give it 6 , there so many things that are bad , like the story

​There is no explanation and background character everything is ambiguous , the enemies come with powers out of nowhere , they dont show you for example mundus what is his power what are those chinese letters what is that light he came up with and killed me with it for more than 5 times and so on

​Also who is dante why mundus killed his mother where is his father , i know it might be the second season but they didnt give a good amount of explanation

​The combo , the character do the move it like to do , i cant make upper cut when i want with the sword or the dash and trust me i tried to with the analog and still dont refuse , also there is no combo menu you have to discover every thing by your own

​The flying in sky and the swimming are the WORST part in the game

​And i dont like to fight the same boss 2 times and they made me do it 3 times for most of them

​There is a lot of attacks that i cant avoid , there is no dash nor block

​Those are the bad sides of the game

​However there is some good things like some fights lets say against the stone knight

The gameplay overall not so bad , the whole picture of the game

​Will i play it again? Maybe for the achievement only

So after a couple months trying to figure who the dude was that was popular a couple years ago due to him reading comments and roasting users and those users "falling in love" with him over his voice and content. I have finally.. found him.

It was actually back in 2022 where this dude named Koms was popping off on TikTok and then created his own Youtube channel later on with more content. Users found him entertaining due to what he did and said in a very so to speak nonchalant voice and every girl ( and boy) would want. I unfortunately could not find his Youtube (most likely deleted it) BUT his TikTok remains alive.

Does anyone else remember him?

I was thinking of buying a second hand console but prices are just crazy, I am not gonna drop 50k (inr) on a 2 or 3 year used console. Do you guys think the price will go down massively or just by a small amount?

Introduction

Hi, I'm shaweel a (quite casual I'd say) gamer, programmer and (very amateur) game designer and developer. In this thread, I'd like to discuss bossfights and why I feel like I have never truly played a good bossfight, get insight on which games might change that(but please don't just comment a game title and leave it at that). I'd also like this thread to be exclusively for the open minded and a meaningful discussion. If the only thing you're here for is to have your own opinions reflected back onto you, this thread is probably not for you.

What games I have played

I'd like to start by telling you all which games I have played since it's an important factor in all of this. I will only mention games with bossfights and will exclude games in which I haven't gotten to the bossfights. I have played Minecraft. Now before you leave with a downvote, let me explain. I treat Minecraft more as a game engine rather than one game. There are countless unique experiences people have made in it. I am also someone who doesn't like to play too many games at once and has in the past mostly only had one game which they've played for a very long time. I simply find it easier to play a very large game for a long time than playing new ones each time. It mostly comes down to accessibility, whenever I download a game, I have to set up controls and settings, learn the controls, learn how the game works, not even mentioning the process of finding the game in the first place, which, this not being exclusive to new games but also other experiences in Minecraft(e.g. modpacks, servers etc.) is dread. There's so many choices that you have choice paralysis and you feel like there's nothing good to play at the same time. And instead of playing whole new games, playing new modpacks seems quite easy as there's things I can expect to just be there(e.g. the movement, the physics, very core game mechanics)

So what in Minecraft, have I played?

Well first of all I've played vanilla Minecraft (duh) and after that I've played Hypixel Skyblock, which I've played for years and which revolves around combat. After quitting Skyblock I've started speedrunning and playing modpacks. If anyone cares, here's a list of modpacks I have played: ^{Abyssal Ascent, Beyond Depth, Beyond Ascension, Linggango, Calamycraft, Jetpack Cat, Trepidation, RotN, Resurvival, MC Rebalanced, Roguecraft(technically not a modpack})

Bossfights

Now let's actually talk about the major bossfights I've experienced. And I think it's only appropriate to start with The Ender Dragon

The Ender Dragon

Even though the way of getting to the fight is also horrible, here I'll talk about the fight exclusively. First of all, the arena itself is horrible, the terrain is uninteresting, which is not even that much of an issue, my main gripe with the arena is the endermen which just make the fight extremely annoying because they aggro you when you look at them and you need to often look upwards. The intended way of dealing with the dragon is first either shooting the crystals which heal the dragon with a bow, which I admit is a bit fun, or pillaring up to deal with the crystals up close, which is not fun at all, because 90% of the gameplay will turn into pillaring up. After all the crystals are down, you have 2 options of damaging the dragon. Shoot him with a bow, which like, good luck Tediously wait for him to perch and then dealing melee hits by clicking left click once in a while, until he leaves and you have to rinse and repeat. The dragon only has 2 attacks Shooting dragon breath at you occasionally, which you can easily avoid by scaling one block higher. Charging at you after perching The only fun I have ever had fighting this boss was speedrunning, when I wasn't even killing it the intended way.

The Wither Lords

This bossfight is from Hypixel Skyblock, all bosses from this game are designed to be beaten a ton of times. This is by far the most complicated boss here. The bossfight consists of 4 phases, phase 1 - Maxor, where you need to bring two end crystals to different place before you can damage him, the way to get to the crystals is intended to be a parkour course. After this you can damage him until he reaches 25% health when he turns enraged making him deal more damage and recovering the crystals back, after bringing the end crystals to said different place again you can finally kill maxor and progress to phase 2 - Storm. Storm will start off by aimlessly flying around for 30s until he charges an instakill lightning for which you need to stay under a pillar to avoid. Then he will start aggroing people, there are 3 pads and pillars, you can stand on a pad to make a pillar go down, you must cooperate with your team to crush storm with a pillar to be able to damage him, you need to do this twice again for some reason and after killing Storm you can go to phase 3 - Goldor. You will find yourself in a hallway where goldor is moving towards you forcing you to go quick, you must activate terminals by solving small puzzles to destroy the gate at the end of the hallway for all four sections until you reach the core where you can finally kill Goldor and move on to section 4 - Necron. You damage Necron. That's it. Now all that wouldn't be too bad on it's own, until you realize it's a 5 player fight where you have to cooperate with a lot of the time random people. The community is also very toxic. Since this boss is made to be beaten a ton of times, most of the skill is speedrunning the boss, which is actually quite fun(ignoring the apes you usually play with)

The Giant

This is a boss present in the roguecraft datapack which transforms Minecraft into a roguelike. This boss is mostly just a damage tank. You left click, done.

The Wildfire

This is a boss present in the roguecraft datapack which transforms Minecraft into a roguelike. This boss is a large blaze which has 4 shields which you simply need to break by hitting them, then you just kill him normally, he has actually interesting attacks, however they are extremely easy to dodge and avoid

The roguecraft version of The Ender Dragon

This boss is very similar to The Ender Dragon, however it is interesting in having phases where it will summon mobs ranging from a simple zombie to a warden. It also adds a few new attacks, however the fight is still easy and uninteresting.

The Iron Colossus

This is a boss present in the Linggango modpack It is simply a boss which deals damage and takes damage, which you are extremely undergeared for at the stage of the game youre supposed to fight him

The Ferrous Wroughtnaut

This is a boss present in the Calamycraft modpack You simply hold your shield, wait for a specific attack, stab him in the back, rinse and repeat, very repetitive, very boring.

The Cerberus

This is a boss present in the Calamycraft modpack The boss is severely overpowered and almost impossible to kill without cheesing it. It's also easily cheesable in tons of ways.

The Bellringer

This is a boss present in the Calamycraft modpack He does a few attacks which you have to dodge, you hit him once, rinse and repeat, these attacks don't change much, gear doesn't even matter because the attacks one or two shot you either way, this also seems to be a boss where you aren't supposed to beat him on the first try, so why am I punished when I die in a way that will let me attempt the boss a finite amount of times

Conclusion

I don't know if I just haven't played the right games. If I have too high standards. Or if I'm just wrong. Let me know your thoughts Edit: seeing people saying Minecraft isn't where I should look for bossfights, I know, I'm trying to find games with good bossfights after playing Minecraft and have not played much other games because of accessibility

...because in the future, you will buy online Arcade machines:

- First they will charge you a 1000 bucks for the "cabinet"

- Then they will charge you a 100 bucks for the game

- Then they will charge you one buck for actually starting the game

- And finally they will charge you a quarter each time you die

Back to the 80s folks!

i can't believe any game that isn't runescape would have a cooldown that lasted more than 40 seconds. but that's just it. CD was not marketed as a runescape clone. it borrows some features, but that's not the problem here.

to even suggest that a single player game should have any form of nonengaging hourglass restricting your ability to do anything at all is just bad game design. it ruined the experience along with the tedious fetch quests and unfair boss fights littered around every corner.

there's nothing to get good at, there's no learning curve, there's no point to trying anything new due to the fear of having to sit through some arbitrary waiting or farming period that has no reason for it's existence other than predatory retention farming.

dark souls can send me on a game long journey to find titanite shards, but there's no timers, no countdowns, nothing in the way of finding the shards, picking them up along my journey and upgrading my weapon. no interruption to the flow of the game.

they still have time to remove these uneccesary things, but they'd rather add pinball machines and cat armour instead. ironically, to even access these things, you have to sit through these cooldowns and countdowns to experience them. gaming is dead if this wins GOTY with these problems still in it.
