I suck at "hard" games (insofar as we mean games who gameplay loop factors in intentional difficulty spikes), have no desire to Git Gud as a philosophy of gaming, so G&G is nowhere near my playlist. Hollow Knight was my own exception to the rule and it nearly broke me.

I'm more or less the same, I can appreciate the design of a difficult game but I just don't have the skill required to enjoy them. I wouldn't have been able to get through the souls games if it wasn't for level grinding and co op. This is why I had to drop Sekiro.0 -

Has that been confirmed yet or is it just from the Capcom leak awhile back?
If so, then I'll be all over it once it comes to the PC. Still not mad about the art style but it's a minor complaint given we're finally getting a new entry in the series.
It's Capcom. If they can make money from it it's not an exclusive*stands up*

You call me a casual gamer one more time and I'll bleed you, real quiet, leave you here.

You have to take a different approach to old school difficulty that I think a lot of younger people just aren't used to. And I don't mean like Dark Souls or Hollow Knight, those games are actually very modern takes of difficulty and death.
These types of games are actually really short and can be beaten pretty quickly if you persevere. DF retro did a recent video about NES games and they were talking about how hard Batman Return of the Joker is but John also said it took him 3 hours in one evening to beat it. People used to 40+ hour games barely challenging them are likely to totally bounce off a game that slam dunks them with difficulty from the get go. And they would be right to do so if it was a 40+ hour game but since they are short if you stick with them you will get better and overcome them. It's worth experimenting with something like supposedly legendary hard games like Contra, stick with them and beat them in an afternoon.
Saying that GnG games are on another level of difficulty. Super GnG is the most fair of them and even that is brutal. They are totally fair games but they aren't something you can beat in an afternoon of going in blind. Getting good enough to one credit Ghouls n'Ghosts took months and I've totally lost it now which means I have to put up with Johnny Ultimate constantly teasing me about it.
One of my favourite GnG memories was in Hey arcade in Akihabara. I was playing GnG and they had it set to the highest dipswitch setting which is ridiculous. All weapons other than the fire and sword weapons (which are utterly useless) drop incredibly rarely until stage 3 (the best tactic is to pick up the rapid fire daggers as soon as possible). I was doing really well. Got to stage 4 and even had a japanese guy standing over my shoulder watching me play...
Except he wasn't. He was waiting for the stupid Gaijin to die and get off the machine so he could one credit it himself.

Oh man, Hope John Linneman is doing that review. I'll be watching that when I get home.

That new GnG is disappointing to me. I look at Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Ori games, Rayman Legends ... and I see no progress with the GnG games. GnG and Super Mario came out in the same year ... and look where Mario is these days. BUT it does have varying difficulty levels in it and with a sale, it'd be a decent enough purchase. Really, Capcom needs to do more with GnG, they are throwing away a huge opportunity on a great concept. Maybe they should just sell Arthur & Co to Nintendo.
I don't know what else they could do though. I enjoyed the two maximo games at release but they didn't really feel like GnG.
GnG is just too routed in it's control scheme. It's all about Fujiwara's classic design principles that you see everywhere in Capcom game design. Any action you take you have to commit to it. It's actually brilliant game design but people are more used to platform games were you have full control in the air. Modernising GnG would lose the games essence. I'm kind of happy with this approach they are taking, it's like Megaman 11. It just proves that this game design is still good and it offers gameplay that modern games aren't offering.
(Then again I've not played it and I could be hugely dissappointed like I was with Ultimate GnG).

2 games I've been interested in just went on sale on psn, both 12 euro. Night in the Woods and Stranded Deep.
Think I'll most likely get Night in the Woods anyway, sounds really interesting.
Stranded Deep though, anyone play this? I'm on the tail end of Subnautica which is absolutely brilliant and i have a feeling stranded deep will be fairly bare bones in comparison?
The front cover of Night in the Woods remind me of the opening scenes in Watership Down for some reason.
