You can do that in 14,000 other games you could play.

Entitled gamers need to Stop trying to to force devs to cater to your whims

They don't want to do it. They arent going to. So Shut the fuck up.

Im against additional difficulties, but posts like this seem like they are asking for a slap to the face with karma.
*Next souls game is released with easy mode lol*

Seems like whining for an easy mode in Souls games is just a lame meme at the point

You can put all this energy into learning basic enemy patterns

---

Well, if Mr. Starkey can't be convinced that there shouldn't be an easy mode, then I guess he can just shut the fuck up, because there is no conversation to be had.

If the game is too difficult for you to play and enjoy, then the game isn't for you. Not every game needs to be made to appeal to every person. Play something else.

Especially for the Souls games, where the entire point of the games is to bang your head against the wall until you learn how to overcome those challenges. An easy mode would defeat the purpose of those games.

more acceptance bullshit

---

I think the people who want an easy mode are rightfully complaining.

They just don't know how bad the games are when they're easy. Once you finally kind of "master" the gameplay and you're doing something like NG+, all of a sudden you're like, "wow, this game is nothing but lackluster graphics, drab environments and 0 storyline".

Lmao why dont we decrease the distance of a marathon so fat people can complete them too!

What is it about the Souls series that makes people so mad that others enjoy it

---

The hard part about souls games is how it punishes greed. In any other action game you can mash a button and get through most of the game with ease, but not here. If you whiff, or don't stagger the enemy you take more damage.

Yeah the games will quickly remind you you cant always just run through them or stop paying complete attention.

Yeah. I cant tell you how many times I ate shit in a boss fight because I wanted to get one more shot in before dodging.

Sad as it is to say, the Soulsborne games really are their difficulty.

Removing that just ruins the experience.

Bosses have an affinity for shutting me down while they have a sliver of health.

It's just weird how this conversation basically only comes up for Souls games.

The gaming industry sure would be a nicer place if people were fine with having games that don't appeal to them. I think this one is mostly from people who want to play through every majorly talked about single player game and get annoyed they can't join in on this conversation.

---

The conversation always changes to accessibility after it's explained how souls games can be made easier with magic users, summons etc.

What does that mean exactly?

People with disabilities should be able to play the game.

Which on paper I agree with sure. But I'm not sure what an easy mode has to do with that. Especially since people have beaten games like Dark Souls using all sorts of controllers and dance mats. So the game does seem pretty accessible overall.

---

No I mean during the discussion for easy mode, people often tangent to "Well people with disabilities cannot enjoy the games as they are!" When the argument was "I can't play this game, it's too tough!"

Im awful at things i do quite often, is there any chance we could just move the goal post closer?

I finished Demon's Souls when I was jobless for 8 months. I swore and got pissed off a lot at bullshit deaths, but I had time to put into it and get good.

Now I'm super busy and have real life occupations that require my mental energy, so levels and bosses by design requiring hours of repetition to learn their patterns is a no-no to me. It's true, they aren't that "hard", you just need to have the patience to retry again and again till you know them by heart. Because boss patterns are too fucky to learn quickly (ex. 2 and 3 hit combos look very similar so if you try to go in after a 2hit you get smashed) so you can't just handle it like regular video game bosses. Plus they insist on getting you locked in animations so you can't dodge last second like in Bayonetta (which is hard but not painful)

Ain't nobody got time for dat. It's too bad because the setting is super enticing and interesting, but driving a screwdriver into my urethra for 3h to finallt defeat 1 boss is not my idea of fun.

Oh and when you die you often have to retrace your steps and re-do everything, killing every enemy again. You can't rush through, you have to focus again for every single enemy.

I'm sure it's great when you're accomplishing nothing in your daily life but now all my mental energy is already taken so fuck these and fuck Blasphemous

They haven't learned from past FromSoftware games yet? It starts out as a bit unforgiving and only gets harder each time you complete the main game.

---

NG+ in Souls games is not harder than NG. By that point you're overpowered enough to overshadow any increase in damage numbers. At least for the first few cycles. Don't think I've ever played beyond NG+++.

The fact that Oscar Pistorius exists doesn't mean that any significant portion of people walking around with two prosthetic legs can run a hundred meter dash in 11 seconds.

I mean its about defying expectations.

Its impossible to make every game accessible to everyone.

That's weird, I thought it was about people being able to enjoy a video game.

Plebs don't understand that difficulty is part of game design, too. Asking for an easier difficulty in Dark Souls is like asking for more disco balls in Resident Evil 7.

Or, to be less obtuse, less horror in a horror game.

Well that paraplegic guy sure did, he defied expectations and enjoyed the game anyway

Not every video game needs to be enjoyed by everyone. Some games cater to certain audiences and that's fine.

The closest you can get this idea to reality is something like mountain climbing.

Say Mount Everest.

And the now easy options there are to "climbing" it.
