Difficulty options in hard games

[weebykiwi]

no it would be awful to you but you dont need to participate in it just play on hard

[weebykiwi]

what do ya mean ds is one of the best story games out there man oh which reminds me even witcher 3 a story based game was harder than DS on its hardest difficulty

@weebykiwi

you dont have too understand why people enjoy that, just know that they do and there is alot of them. its funny people who have easy mode never complain about the idea of hard being implemented

I don’t want dark souls difficulty sliders at all. I want the playtested difficulty & I want to progress with other people in the same area the same way with everyone going through the same challenges.

NG+ isn’t hard mode. It’s a level reset with different features.
Not the same as me going DAMN I CANT BEAT MIRROR KNIGHT LET ME TURN THIS TO EASY SO I CAN STAND HERE MASHING 1 BUTTON INSTEAD OF DROPPING A SOULSTONE AND POTENTIALLY DYING

[weebykiwi]

NG+ is easy mode the game doesnt get hard until NG+7 but even then you have everything in game to exploit all enemy weaknesses

[Fire]

Considering you dont have to try in easy, what’s the point?

There is absolutely none.

Ppl who play on easy are only robbing themselves of the experience. It hurts nobody else but them.

The jump from NG to NG+ is the biggest by far. Everything after is a slight change in numbers

Its just a reason to go hit lv150

[weebykiwi]

your right just like theres no point to those who dont like hard you just dont play what you dont like, easy

[weebykiwi]

its the biggest leap from a single NG+ but NG+ seven is the accumulation of NG+1234567 it adds up

[Fire]

Sorry bro, ds isnt a story driven game.
That would be kingdom hearts, devil may cry, oblivion series, I can go on.

In souls its just you at the end of the world, with one event going on.

You barely know or are told anything Bout the world.

plays dark souls on easy
“bro wtf is the point of this game you just dodge roll and stab and walk to the next checkpoint worse rpg ever”

There’s nothing stopping these people from turning godmode on. Why do they need a developer-implemented godmode specifically?

[Fire]

That’s a horrible example.
Hard at least serves a purpose.

Easy doesn’t.
Easy has no point, unless you’re a young kid,
Hard actually has a point to it tho.

[weebykiwi]

I mean a story driven game is just a video game genre thats characterized for its dynamic change in its game mechanics so they can add to the story plot and elements, which is similar to interactive storytelling, i mean thats DS isnt it

[weebykiwi]

lmao yo the meaning of anything in a game is FUN man you just cant comprehend the idea of someone finding value in easy mode thats all

[Fire]

Honestly I cant even answer that.
Never in my life did I think anyone would want an easy mode in souls.

Also, not everyone is on pc, so no cheats for us.

dark souls without any of its mechanics is arguably one of the worse games ever.

Its not like theres puzzle bosses and shit.
I mean utterly pointless.

standing there mashing attack boss after boss

[Fire]

Theres no actual story in souls,
Theres lore, not really story tho.
It’s like destiny, you have really search yourself for information on anything.

As for the whole easy mode thing.
Not having to try, having no challenge, is not fun.

So if the point is fun, its already failing.
I’m sorry man, you got multiple ppl telling you that easy mode is pointless.

Why you want to defend easy mode is beyond me.
I however, don’t care if its added in.
Doesnt affect me.

I just know its pointless.
Esh on the other hand.
I dont think he can handle it.
If an easy mode was added to souls,
@Eshtion would just question his life lmao.

Are there any MMOs with easy mode? Why don’t they go broaden their audience?

Souls is a pseudo-MMO, you are connected with all these players you can’t see (except ghosts) until you let them in or they invade. Everyones on the same intended difficulty. There are no soapstones lined up outside the boss fog trying to get their soul back otherwise.

[Fire]

That’s a beautiful way of explaining it.
You always have the right words.
Now back in the cage with yu.

XD

[Eshtion]

The lore is scattered

It’s not accessable to people who would play an easy mode

@weebykiwi

me even witcher 3 a story based game was harder than DS on its hardest difficulty

No it’s not

Also this is the first time I’ve heard the Witcher being a difficult game

Kind of adds to my point

@weebykiwi

NG+ is easy mode

What

@weebykiwi

I mean a story driven game is just a video game genre thats characterized for its dynamic change in its game mechanics so they can add to the story plot and elements, which is similar to interactive storytelling, i mean thats DS isnt it

Story driven games are games where the story is the main focus rather than equal or less focus than gameplay

@weebykiwi

lmao yo the meaning of anything in a game is FUN man you just cant comprehend the idea of someone finding value in easy mode thats all

That’s because other games have better dark souls easy modes

@Fire

I just know its pointless.
Esh on the other hand.

I’d lose all faith in go-HERESY

I MUST PAY FOR MY SINS

[weebykiwi]

right so you and i might not find value in that playstyle but that doesnt mean that its not valuable to a large group of people
