Imagine having to equip the rings.

Outside of someone with a disability using them.

Is the guy in the clip a journalist? Andrea Pichini is a Twitter Xbot console warrior so it's not her.

Idunno about the guy in question, but it's assumed he's doing it as a troll to show you can play the game just tapping Square while eating a sandwich. As a consequence people are attacking the game.

But, there are some special rings you can equip that streamline everything, combo's, dodging, etc. which the person is using.

thanks.

I think the tweet is dumb, since the player is apparently using an easy mode (and rings that also help), but there's nothing to indicate that he was someone who complained about games needing stuff like that in the past, and the story being "terrible" seems unrelated.

Most game journalists are a waste of space. They are not gamers and they have to rush through the games before release date and if they want to keep getting review copies, they have to be nice. So pointless.

Is that assist mode like "easy automatic mode" in the dmc games?

Part of why JS Sterling stands out.

Ugh, Im glad they made the automatic aspect of that mode optional later on.

The guy in the clip is an Xbox fanboy trying to shit on FFXVI.
He's doing this against a tutorial boss by the way.
With journalist "cheat" rings equipped.

He also used to catfish people. He's a real piece of crap, one of the toxic fanboys that everyone hates.

I think the fact that he's showing his controller on screen whilst eating in the other hand as if to say "look at me, i can button mash and win" says enough tbh. The section was literally a tutorial and he has assist rings on lol

FF16's easy mode takes the form of some rings that you can equip.

One makes time slow down when you're about to be hit, letting you do the precision dodge easier.

One just lets you auto-evade entirely (this one and the last one don't work together, of course).

One automates your dog companion so you don't have to direct it to attack.

One makes it so you can do a full combo by just hitting Square once.

One makes it so you automatically consume healing items once you hit a certain health threshold.

So yeah, if he's using all of them, it's no wonder that a prologue boss - this might be the actual first boss in the game - is so easy.

I'm fine with an Easy mode in games like FFXVI if they also allowed you the option to toss those rings in the garbage if you want to. As is, if you come across any difficult area, those things just stare at you from the inventory screen.

I like this one actually. It isn't so much doing it for you but rather helping you learn.

DMC's easy automatic on the other hand doesn't teach you how to do the combos, it just does them - and usually the wrong damn ones. Even for a beginner I can see it being more of a nuisance by the time they get the hang of the controls.

I hate games playing themselves for you. That's the complete wrong way for games to teach you. Fighting games are a massive culprit in this.
