You see to me, when I play Devil May Cry and Bayonetta, I just press buttons and don't think about it. And what do you know? The enemy is dead. When I play Dark Souls, I have to block, dodge, plan a swing attack, and actually battle the enemy by controlling what I do. How is the former better gameplay than the latter? Sure, they are different games, but I feel there is simply more to other games than hack and slash games. I kind of liked DMC. But that's because it was more compelling as an over all experience than Bayonetta to me. Even though Bayonetta is considered to have better gameplay according to die hard hack/slash fans.
Try doing that on a harder difficulty. Souls games are tough from the get-go. Silly argument, scott.
I guess it all comes down to what you like better. I don't even like DMC that much tho because it's for emos and goths, but I get others love that shit. It can be fun to bash enemies left and right. But I prefer beat em ups like Batman Arkham games. But to me, it has to be a whole package for me to like a game. The atmosphere, the plot, the dialouge, gameplay has to be good, the sense of achievement also. That is the thing as a whole. And I find TLOU a much better experience than hack and slash games. Who is to say I'm wrong? But then who is to say you are wrong too?
You're not wrong. It's simple preference.
TL;DR, I get that Bayonetta and hack/slash games are loved, but I find them repetative and boring, and normally have shit plots and levels (Imo). Good enemies in them though. I must admit.
And that's completely fine.
