Dumbing the game down and making it easier is not the same as improving the game. I had my eyes on this game for a while and planned on purchasing it, but seeing that the developers don't respect their own game and real gamers, I will have to black list this game and developer and not purchase their products.

Learn, improve, have a backbone to stand behind your own game instead of dumbing it down to chase casual market and do better.

They nerfed first ninja encounter nad increased healing items drop on Japanese Hard too, as if doing that on lower difficulty wasn't enough. They showed middle finger to everybody who treated this game seriously while mainstream media and casuals dogshat on it. They kneeled and listen to their demands. I defended this game, but I'll no longer support Soleil if their main concern is mainstream appeal instead of making games for fans.

This game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mess and they alienated everybody who supported this game. Not to mention games still has several bugs and issue that weren't adressed.

Are you an idiot or just a child? Soleil is a company. They want and need as many people as possible to buy and play this game. Just because a handful of people like the difficulty the way it is doesnt matter when the vast majority of potential customers gets turned off for it. Making games just for "fans" when that number is as low as it is, doesnt pay rent for the offices nor for salaries.

You enjoy getting ♥♥♥♥♥♥ in the ass by big corpo, huh? Thankfully, some people have positive numer of IQ and can defend their own self-interest as customers. This games is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ disaster, it was critically and commercially panned by majority. Only people who care about this games are fans, because majority don't give a ♥♥♥♥, and the fact that they dumb down the difficulty won't suddenly bring people en masse.

His stance is far superior than yours, just because you can't comprehend something that is above your comprehension capability, doesn't mean that it is idiotic, childish or crazy. You are bound by your genetics, know your place.

Soleil is a clueless company, this recent patch proves it, this isn't the way you get more engagement for your game. No wonder Itagaki left these idiots.

Baseless. Who are these vast majority of potential customers? The vast majority of potential customers are people like me who are interested in more oldschool and challenging games, not the casual masses that play braindead garbage games like Baldur's Gate 3.

Why nerf the Japanese Hardmode difficulty? They added a new braindead easy mode for the casuals and could just nerf standard difficulty, why touch Japanese Hardmode? Terrible business decision, but very fitting for a garbage developer like Soleil.

Both FromSoftware and Team Ninja made games for fans even when the sales numbers were low and now they dominate the oldschool and challenging game market. As for Soleil, perhaps it is better if they can't pay the rent or salaries of their workforce. The gaming industry is not a charity, garbage developers deserve to go bankrupt and exit the industry.

Nope, it's definitely not. Just because some people are butthurt that the dev is changing the game to open it up to more People and make gameplay better doesn't mean that.

And no, the reception and refund amounts to the game show that most people disklike the difficulty aspect to the game. The dev is now working on rebalancing and improving the game and making combat more appealing. Which is a good thing.

And again, no. Team Ninja refined their games and improved the combat. That's different from changing an broken combat system that Wanted:Dead has. No one dislikes hard games. But Wanted:Dead didn't make the hard difficulty appealing by having a broken combat system and bad game design in that aspect. Now they are changing it.
