    Every game I play teaches me that I will immediately die in real life if anything bad ever happens.

    Every FPS - shot dead immediately. No respawning.

    Scary game - heart attack immediately.

    Every sword game - maimed horrifically.

    Zombie apocalypse - eaten immediately, and I’ll turn into a fat one that explodes later.

      Every sword game - maimed horrifically.

      I seem to recall Bushido Blade crudely implemented this in the late 90’s, introducing rudimentary disablements on a Fallout-style limb system that would slow you down if you took a slash to the leg, or render your hand ineffective if you were struck there.

      The slow march into middle age is making my memories fuzzy.

        Bushido Blade was our jam back in the day.

        They was also a really cool samurai game called Way of the Samurai (i think) that had complex combat, and like 100 different ending or something.

          Way of the Samurai is amazing. 3&4 are on GOG if memory serves. In 4, you can literally get an ending by getting right back on your boat and fucking off to a less murdery town.

            Yep those games are also very funny lol, I didn’t get it at first when I played as a teen, but trying it again I see I was just dumb and impatient.
