GameRager: Some games like The Penumbra Trilogy you must either trap enemies or avoid them...it's actually fun to do so. Of course in that series you can fight some but it is tough, but it is usually easier to avoid them and the game is fun even with such mechanics. :)
Breja: I'm sure it can be fun... for people who like it. I'm not saying that it's inherently a bad idea. It's just not fun for me.
It's just like some people really dig found footage movies, and I think Blair Witch was probably the most boring, worst movie I've ever seen in my life.
I'm ok with stealth, I outright love some stealth games, but not when there is no way whatsoever of fighting enemies. Having to run away and hide all the time... it's tedious to me and feels like it takes away some agency from my character.
It's why of the few horror games I truly enjoyed was Condemned - it was scary, but it also offered very satisfying and tense combat. The fact you could fight never took away from the scary and oppressive atmosphere, but it felt good to fight back.
Well yeah not everything is going to be for everyone....different tastes/etc.....also the Penumbra Games are like that in that they allow you to fight back, but it is tougher than running usually.
Also yeah condemned is fun, as well as the sequel(even with the changes in some character's looks/etc).
Breja: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Seriously - there is nothing there in any way, shape or form "aggressive". I honestly haven't got the faintest idea what you mean. It's a silly joke based on a silly meme followed by a statement of personal prefrence. That's it.
Zoidberg: It's aggressive towards people, players and devs, who enjoy games differently than you. If you prefer, that paragraph was quite defensive of your position without even bothering to put an argument forward. And that is, in my regard, bad communication practice.
Also, as nobody decides what is "fun" for anyone, nobody has the right to define what others feel in reaction to something you said or wrote.
It is just all a matter of respect.
What Breja said(in general) after this post about people(in general) finding offense in anything they can instead of looking for context or only being offended at truly offensive things is still true, however.
Instead of looking for things to be offended by one should(imo) also try to see what context is being used in the "offensive" bits and whether offense was intended and to what degree/why it was intended(if it was intended to be seen that way).
I mean who the heck CARES if someone is a bit critical of or doesn't think what one finds important is as important......let them feel as they will as long as they aren't physically hurting anyone.
(As for respect...it must be earned, not just given to all without people earning it or deserving it.)
