Red dead redemption 2… went to a logging camp to help out a random npc and while talking to someone, off in the distance the horse I’ve had all game randomly died. Actually weirdly feel pretty deflated from it bruh. Went from being nice all game to a killing rampage. RIP to my horse, Rabbit :’( <\3

If your looking for story games I suggest a Plague's Tale. The first one is very good and the sequel is due soon.

I’ve already played that

The side mini objectives are unconscionable. You have to win 3 rounds of dominos without drawing a single piece and it’s all a game of luck. I just won my first non-draw round after playing for 40 minutes lol

A positive is I’m playing against 2 strangers and my next objective is to attack 2 strangers with a knife. 

edit for post conservation: 20 mins later I won round 2. Having zero fun

I just don't understand any game that has ROLE as the primary combat function.

Souls games, Elden Ring, even Tsushima, Witcher, and Horizon. 

ROLE, ROLE, ROLE, ROLE, attack, ROLE, ROLE, ROLE, ROLE, ROLE, ROLE, ROLE, attack, ROLE, ROLE, ROLE, ROLE, ROLE, ROLE, ROLE, ROLE, ROLE, ROLE, ROLE, ROLE, ROLE, ROLE, attack.

So dumb. Absolutely immersion-breaking and such a lazy game design.

Wait, do you mean, roll as in tumbling? What do you propose as defensive options in action games?

Ignoring the humorous misspelling, I dont remember rolling a ton in Witcher 3 or Horizon.   I probably did alot, but certainly not enough to leave an impression.

Rolling alot doesn't necessarily bother me.   Maybe if it was as bad as you say, but no game has been that bad that I remember.   I mean, youre evading attacks, so your options are limited.   Outside of rolling, blocking with a shield, running or taking cover....what other options are there?

Its just i-frames.

The only alternative would be a quickstep which Bloodborne and the Witcher used. Which doesn't really fit the DemonDark Souls vibe. 

Like, it's just a core mechanic that has carried over from Demons Souls way back in the day. I dont think rolls were meant to be the meta, but a way for lightly armored/ no shield PC's to avoid environmental hazards like AOE's and traps. But mechanically, it makes more sense, and more efficient than blocking, and quicker than running. Especially when using it to time large sweeping or smashing attacks. Like, if you were about to be hit by a car, how would you avoid it?

Also, Elden Ring has a pretty dope parry system, but in light of your post ... git gud.

Anyone ever play Nioh?

I just started it, but its my first time playing one of these ultra hard Souls-type games and I kinda suck.   I dont mind challenge, but I hate games that make me repeat large portions just to get back to where I was.    I can see the appeal, but Im just wondering if its worth sticking with?   I heard Nioh 2 was much better.

Playing Far Cry 5 because its on gamepass. First time playing a Far Cry game and this is really good so far.
