Why is this community accepting of people who play on lower difficulties?

[King Feraligatr]

I don't really get it. Usually most gaming communities are harsh towards those who play on lower difficulties, but this community does not seem to be so. I'm a Lenient player and in most other communities, people would rightfully call me out and make fun of me. What's different about the Ultrakill community?

"im completely new to souls games where can i find a good early game int weapon and spells?" steam forum and reddit. i mean kinda expected it from reddit but still expected at least one person to say something else than "dOnT uSe InT YoUrE plAYinG ThE gAmE WrOnG" like why would fromsoft deliberately add a wrong way to play the game do you have any sort of critical thinking or is the only thing you can do memorizing attack patterns? It mightve just been a bad first impression tho since i never touched a souls game after that

what did they say tho

either "youre playing the game wrong" or "int is easy mode play str"

It's because we're so sick of people complaining about the higher difficulties & levels being too hard that we'd be hypocritical if we made fun of people for playing the easier difficulties because that's what we tell people to do when they complain.

we do not judge people who play fast paced games on easier difficulties. i used to always play on harmless, but now, i actually just beat 1-4 on standard, and i've been basically doing all p-ranks (i'm not trying to brag). so once again, as long as you play, we won't judge you.

i think its different with the dev, the dev should playtest the harder difficulties to make sure theyre apropiately balanced
the encore levels on release were nearly impossible on brutal because of hakita playtesting them on standard

We're here for fun. Hakita made this game specifically in a way they *thought* it would be fun. NEW BLOOD has a pretty accepting and chill community overall, to be honest.

Challenge is how I get my fun. I'm grinding Brutal P Ranks right now and half the time I'm frustrated, but I get my enjoyment out of FINALLY achieving the goal I want. But, I recognise not everyone wants to, or can, play a game that way. I recognise that games are, at the end of the day, timewasters. We play them to chill. We play them to have fun. We play them to relax, unwind, so on so forth. I get to play the game exactly how *I* want it, so why should someone else not get to play how *they* want to y'know? I think it's great that ULTRAKILL allows people to enjoy it how they prefer.


in short: You WILL have fun, you WILL play the game in a way that YOU ENJOY, you WILL ULTRAKILL in ways you LIKE ULTRAKILLING
... that sounds a bit too commanding, honestly, but still! :x

i've never seen people calling out other players for playing on lower diff in my entire 30 years. No one cares on what diff you play. Just enjoy the game. I personally like to suffer in FPS, so i always go for the hardest diff. Not everyone is like that. For me fast paced fps games are always too easy on normal or hard so i go for the hardest. DOOM Eternal on ultra nightmare teached me how to become a better player at those games.

Its not even close to impossible on brutal tho. Its pretty hard, but doesn't take that long too learn if you played through the game on violent. You know there is gonna be a harder diff in future right? Games dont need to be balanced, because people will always find a way to beat them.

I like what you're saying (until the last sentence) but it has very little to do with the comment you're replying to.

what?
what does "you know theres gonna be a harder diff in the future right?" have to do with anything? if anything that reinforces my point, as since UKMD is gonna be much harder than brutal, brutal should be more balanced

and how the ♥♥♥♥ does games not needing to be balanced make any sense? even if someone will have enough patience to beat a level on a difficulty it was not designed for, that doesnt mean not balancing it at all is acceptable, especially considering that this isnt even the hardest difficulty and 0-E is not supposed to be harder than brutal P-2
