meralonne 04/28/21 2:34:21 PM #154:	RadiantJoyrock posted... There's a solid enough amount of people complaining about this that we can make a reasonable assumption that sales would increase if this were an option. There have been enough people complaining about Souls games being too hard since Demon's Souls released on PS3. Surely, From Software is aware of this, yet they continue to make their games without an easy mode. Perhaps it's because they don't want your money. --- "Sigs are for dorks."-- my wife <cite>meralonne posted [p:953328411] in Dark Souls...

sevihaimerej 04/28/21 2:42:23 PM #155:	"All must conform! Unique difficulty mitigation methods other than a selectable difficulty option are ableist hate speech!" At this point that's what I hear when people start demanding the Fromsoft easy modes even though Miyazaki himself has clearly said he doesn't want to do that. Why exactly is it that Souls can't just NOT do that? Who exactly is it hurting for one series to exist that does difficulty mitigation in a more creative way than just selecting an option from a menu? --- https://imgtc.com/Y8ojZ3x <cite>sevihaimerej posted [p:953328697] in Dark Souls...

Romulox28 04/28/21 2:51:32 PM #164:	easy mode ruins the whole design of a souls game. try running through an early area in any souls game when your dude is at a high lvl and you will see why, the entire game is built around every enemy encounter, trap etc potentially having a huge impact on the player. only way i think they could make this work is by making everything scale with your level, but then that sort of kills the sense of progression that is one of the major reasons ppl like the franchise. i guess they could also keep the difficulty but add in handicaps like regen health or w/e, but at that point just go play assassins creed or whatever. as someone else said, not everything is for everyone. i always feel like the people who complain about the franchise's difficulty are the types that are only into dark souls so they can get gamer cred (lol) or because they dont want to feel left out of the (internet) conversation. never seen anyone want an easy mode b/c they think it would be an improvement on the formula --- https://imgur.com/LhwwG <cite>Romulox28 posted [p:953329041] in Dark Souls...

Darmik 04/28/21 9:09:07 PM #199:	The thing is it's not really a linear game. Areas are designed to be gated through difficulty to encourage players to explore elsewhere. It's not as simple as other genres. This sort of logic reminds me of the complaining about the Dead Rising timer. People whined and wanted it as an option while saying that it won't harm the design. Then they made it optional and the timer was pointless as it wasn't designed around the timer anymore. Then the last game ditched it completely and the game is dead. But it has been over 10 years now. There's plenty of other games to play. I always dislike this idea of people whining that not every game is catering to them. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:953342476] in Dark Souls...
