Honestly is there anything left for people like me? Every game is a casual, simple piece of shit. I'm getting a bit bored of playing quake and street fighter (not V as it's an abortion) with the same people. I just need a break from it. I wish there was something new and innovative. But there isn't. Touhou challenge runs are getting boring at this point, so is racking up arcade 1ccs. I blow people out of the water in videogames. I want something new, fresh, challenging, but it doesn't exist. Everything is diluted and simplified for nu-gamers.

Liam Moore
I know it's hard to grasp for a mentally stunted prole like yourself, yes.
Hudson Hughes
Try Nuclear Throne. I bought it recently and I'm wondering why it took me so long. Sup Forums-approved and hard as nails
Lucas Phillips
We're not the target demographic anymore, the masses of mouth breathers are, see
Carson Adams
OP knows my feel.
The last game I truly got a rush from was Hotline Miami, because it was pure "dont get hit", no stats bullshit, no grinding, just get fucking going.
Super Hot would've been cool too but it needs more content
Chase Perry
Play Nioh
David Hill
Nioh has one helluva grind but it might tickle a bit of OPs fancy. I love the game but I hate the stats bullshit, its inventory is "why did you do this?" tier too
Benjamin Cruz
I'm going to get a ps4 for GGrev2 so I'll probably pick up that an BB but I already beat the ninja gaidens on master ninja, does nioh have a good amount of challenge (since there are no difficulty levels)? Seems like a slower NG.
Ryder Reed
I'm trying to find a rouge-like game where you also build a town. I remember some anons talking about it earlier.
Owen Jackson
If you want challenging go and learn an actual skill with a steep learning curve and high difficulty ceiling, like playing the violin, you tremendous faggot. No one here cares about your >muh challenging games pseudo bragging.
Samuel Powell
sounds like Dwarf Fortress

I 2-all'd dodonpachi though, the ketsui ura requirements are just fucking dumb
might do DOJ next

Jace Gomez
Wasn't that.
Alexander Miller
I seldom save images- I copy and paste image addresses into the image location bar and windows automatically saves the filenames in some OS folder with filenames like that
Cameron Ortiz
Just go for omote until youre consistent enough to do ura, thats what im doing. And hope that shit rng doesnt screw you over i guess
Cameron Lopez
Time to learn something challenging other than vidya games. The fact that you didn't try doing that instead of blogposting speaks volumes of what your actual intent is here.
Wyatt Butler
I don't think I'll ever be consistent enough to do ura consistently, I can 1all the game but doing it perfectly is just an absurd requirement. There is no reason for the omote loop to exist.
I probably will eventually though.
Robert Hernandez
Omote is for the higher functioning autists, cave resource check tlbs suck anyway
Connor Martinez
>Touhou There's your problem mate. Come back to me when you beat The General.
Then stop playing video games. If you don't like the trend of a medium, move away from it and develop an interest in alternative interests that are more fulfilling. Don't be silly by treating gaming as a hampered family member you feel obliged overseeing. If you want something new, fresh, and challenging, then move on as a person, not as a gamer.
Wyatt Harris
This OP you're a giant faggot again. Just do something else with your life. Western games go for cinematic experiences while eastern games go for shitty waifubait for lonely weebs, neither of them seem to be your thing.
Thomas Anderson
Clearly OP is a smelly neet from /jp/. Video games is all he has.
Luis Carter
Why do you stick around? Find a new hobby
Juan Gray
Not giving up my hobby to a bunch of dumb weebs and hipsters.
Fuck off back to Sup Forums and tumblr
Benjamin Robinson
Games were never very challenging. Most challenging games were that way because of tech limitations, not by design.
Truly challenging games are about as common as they ever were. Not the medium's fault you only pay attention to the mainstream releases and complain you can't find a challenge/are a cocksucking faggot
Gabriel Anderson
>Fuck off back to Sup Forums and tumblr
laughing out loud
Noah Edwards
>Video games don't challenge me anymore >Why not get a new hobby to challenge yourself? >Fuck you At least you seem to be mentally challenged
Jayden Gutierrez
This, right here. I know this site usually deenounces normalfags, but even they have better tendencies than you. Believe it or not, plenty of people stopped watching/playing sports, using cable services, watching television, or going to movie theaters because they didn't like them or thought they became more of an inconvenience than a pleasure.
Stop attaching your self-worth to virtual toys.
Carson Johnson
Play rainworld, its a game that you kind of people need.
Gabriel Brown
>Sup Forumsssuming Increase your IQ
Xavier Mitchell
try being less autistic
David Thompson
I like myself a challenge but I like to mix it up with easier games.
Kevin Howard
There are plenty of games still that OP qualifies for, caring about what the majority trends towards in any industry is fucking retarded.
Colton Cook
crypt of the necrodancer >irrelevant story >not easy >no grinding >great gameplay >great ost
if you really want to get good you have to sink hundreds of hours ino this game
Angel Jones
start playing melee competitively play spacies or falcon that should be a good enough challenge
Adrian Phillips
Most competitive games at a high level are pretty much as hard as your opponents are good and never allow you to reach the skill ceiling. There are loads of those around, so I don't think it's only difficulty you're interested in.
In the first place, it's odd to act as if difficulty is the only thing that matters. Video games don't exist to help you prop up your low sense of self-worth by providing you with "challenging" accomplishments.
Camden Johnson
This is me but I'm not a vapid pleb so I also value the story and I don't play point and click simulators aka shooters.
Try an actual good challenging game any time, like iwbtg or self-imposed challenges on games that are good but too easy, like Nintendo games. Or play the DMC/Platinum Games titles you haven't played yet.
Or if you want to focus on multiplayer, try playing one that actually demands thinking and strategy and not just reaction times, like Starcraft.

Deep and complex.
It's not everyone's cup of tea but it absolutely hits the spot for some.
