Current Events > God Mode coming to FFVII Remake

(+) Yeah! (+)

That damage would mess up the phases of the boss battles, wouldn't it?

I imagine that bosses stop taking damage at certain thresholds to account for this.

Whats the point of mods and I know I might sound old for saying this, but remember GameShark?

Because you are thinking about it from your perspective and your perspective only. Not everyone is a capable gamer. My gf plays games occasionally and she could NOT beat Remake on her own.

Good example of how accessibility options aren't always a good thing.
Just watch a fucking playthrough on YT at that point, ffs.

If you guys are ever curious on what a Dark Souls fan sees when people are asking for an easy mode it's literally this.

They don't see the game as frustrating bullshit they had to struggle through just to prove something. It was fun. It was challenging. it was "the right way to enjoy the game". "just watch the game on youtube at that point lmao".

You guys are literally the same people, only you suck more at videogames. You don't care about "Accessibility". You just want people to play the game "your way" "the right way". Everyone above your skill level is an "elitistic prick", while everyone below your skill level is "stupid and bad and they don't deserve to play the game for being stupid and bad. Just watch the game on youtube lmao"

I admit that when I made my original posts in this topic I came into this bitch a bit emotionally invested, lol.

Nah this ain't it chief.

Souls games are a genre of video game that's main feature is that they are difficult. Asking for an easy mode in them is asking to asking them to take the scary bits out of a horror game. Something that is never done when it comes to the latter.

Sometimes a genre just isn't for you and that's okay.

Game is piss easy for the most part anyways, idk why you would even want this outside of "Press Square to win"

You do know a lot of people who say there's no issue with the idea of adding an easy mode to say a Souls game wouldn't actually make use of it themselves, right?

Yes we're well aware.

But why does a genre need to cater to the people that aren't interested in it?

I think if you can make one unified difficulty that the player can then use the mechanics inside the game itself to make it as easy or difficult on themselves is much better game design then difficulty options. Depending on the game. A game that's the same experience for everyone is a design choice, and sometimes it can be the right one. So yes, it can affect everyone who plays the game, even if they don't make that choice.

If the base game is completely unchanged youre literally just trying to dictate how other people experience it

The question isn't "Why should the game cater" the question is why do YOU care if they do? Are you afraid that you'll be unable to resist playing the easier mode? Cause if so? That sounds like a you problem not a game problem.

Nah that is the question.

Why do you want a game that markets itself a certain kind of way to cater to a group of people who aren't interested in its design?

I'm not dictating anything. I don't design the games.

I'm celebrating what I think is good game design.

It's like with God Mode being added to FFVIIR, I never asked for it and I give absolutely zero fucks about it being added because it will not impact my enjoyment of the series at all.

And yet you can't seem to figure out that the Switch Lite was designed as a pure handheld specifically for people who don't want to dock their system to a TV, and not just a smaller Switch.

the good game design that would be unchanged unless you specifically chose to play the easy mode? That game design?

It would no longer be good game design if it had multiple difficulty modes.

Brother what???

This would be a good shitpost if you werent entirely serious

I think if you can make one unified difficulty that the player can then use the mechanics inside the game itself to make it as easy or difficult on themselves is much better game design then difficulty options

So are you saying you now see how the Switch Lite could have been a better product if it catered to a bigger audience than just a "handheld only" type of player?

This isn't the same comparison because FFVII isn't designed around its difficulty. To answer why I would care, I've already done that.

I think it's a compromise to its game design and what it's trying to set out to do. I think if it's supposed to be hard, that's is a key component of its identity. I don't believe it needs to change for people that aren't interested in that style of game.

It's legitimately impressive that you were able to jump through so many hoops in one go to arrive here after reading my post.

Funny how using your own logic that you think you're going to get me with and just reversing it on you has you stumped and unable to answer my question.

Then you have what I consider a pretty dumb reason since stuff like an easy mode or added cheats don't actually need to impact game design in the slightest.

You didn't "reverse" anything, you answered a math question with the word "banana".

I think it entirely depends on the game.

Once again, I said I don't think it matters in a game like FFVII Remake.

People that are against this probably grit their teeth and clench their fists when they see escalators.
