Would be better to watch a Let's Play, in my opinion. I don't know why someone would want to play a game only to engage with none of its core gameplay features.
That is engaging with them, just in a way that they'd like to engage with them. From the time they bought the game, it ought to be theirs to do with as they like.
I mean, sure, they have the right, insomuch as someone can buy a game on disc and use it as a coaster I guess. But it ruins the point of it, in my opinion.
I'm not saying people are wrong to enjoy media and spend money however they want, but it's like a concert venue installing fancy couches to put in the lobby for people who buy tickets to a show but don't want to actually watch it. It just doesn't seem worth it.
There are multiple things to get out of Elden Ring besides a challenge, and as further proof of that, the DLC retained the challenge but not some of the other fine points I really enjoyed about the base game.
People have been save scumming games for as long as saving has been available. A number of PC games have had instant save/load at any point for decades. This wouldn't be much different
Hi, I'm someone who loves to play video games, absolutely cannot stand to watch other people play games, and for a thankfully brief period, was completely unable to play certain games due to insufficient reflexes.
This would have allowed me to play a wider range of games. I probably wouldn't have been able to beat dark souls, but plenty of other games would be on the table.
Heres the best part about features like this, and I hope you're sitting because this might blow your mind: if you don't want it, and don't like it..... don't use it.
Hope that helps clear a few things up.
don‘t use it is waaay easier said then done. It’s not the first time you’ll need it, not the second time, but there will be this one passage in the game, could even be the final boss on your first try, where there happens to be a mechanic at phase 6 you don’t quite survive. The game then loads in before the first phase of the boss. And because the boss was hard to get there, you rewind for the first time. Then you get hit, and you rewind again.
The first one is hard to use, but it gets easier.
And easier…
And easier…
