Your analogy is weak too. A fuel gauge is obviously more like an HP bar than a pause function. Pause function would be more like a parking brake.

Glad you enjoy it, but you’d apparently enjoy it more if you could pause mid-fight. I bet you’d enjoy it even MORE if you could adjust a slider in the options menu that made the enemies do 25% damage and could no longer stun the player

This is an awful opinion. Why should I lose my souls just because my kid interrupted me and I died? Do you want me to lose some progress? Do you want the last 20 minutes of my hard work playing this game to have given me no tangible reward? I demand that souls no longer be removed on death, because I have children,…

I’d say it’s more like still releasing manual transmission cars despite automatic being more convenient for nearly everyone

Must have been in quite a rage to accidentally delete a comment. Take a few deep breaths before replying, butterfingers

Do you deny the inscrutability is part of the charm of souls games?

argumentum ad populum fallacy

It needs a patch to prevent pausing. I’m glad to hear you can’t manage your inventory while paused, which I think we all agree would be unintended and break the flow of combat

Let people make their games how they want

You apologizing confirms that I’ve taught you something about how your behaviour comes across online. Thank you for your apology and for acknowledging the cringe that you have caused.

It’s alarming that you don’t realize how creepy it is to say “darling child” in a videogame comments section. Grooming much?

Aha, nice appeal to tradition fallacy on your part

This was not the “gotcha” remark you thought it was, my dude.

LOL you know you’ve gotten into someone’s head when they’re reading through your old posts. Guess you couldn’t think up a rebuttal based on the current discussion so had to try to dig up some dirt 😂

Yoinks, I wonder what it’s like to not understand that souls games are popular exactly because they are user-hostile. Just sitting here thinking about you imagining me playing a game

first they come for our lack of pause button, then they come for our lack of openworld guideposts

it’s baffling to me how much, like, effort you put into this, like, absolutely stupid, like, comment. your comment is literally the worst thing that has, like, happened in 2022!!11oneeleven

will you be happy once souls games get a pause function or will you move the goalposts and demand an easy mode next? eventually the series will feel like every other handholdy franchise

sounds like a bug and they should patch it to prevent people from using this pause exploit

lots of people like the user-hostile nature of souls games. go play mario instead of getting mad that a game isn’t bending over backwards to make you feel comfortable
