Difficulty setting when?

[Klikard]

Would be nice if they added option to change difficulty. Me as very new to this type of game would like to play this, but i have major skill issues and have git gud syndrome. Should at the very least be an option for example half damage boss deals or increase attack damage for player

EDIT: I found fix for dificulty but dont think i can mention it here. Damage multiplier too double feels good

What do you mean bait? I am being serious though

[Thubz]

the charm of these type of games is that they are hard, i ain't no souls player so i struggle as well -- best way to do is just practice to dodge and the further you get in chapter1 for example it get easier once you upgrade armor and weapon and if u failed alot and get frustrated just do something else come back fresh a bit later and re-try it i had bosses beating the living c**p out of me, also if u start a fight u can practice dodges first get feeling for the boss his attack and ofc one thing that did help me tons is NOT to button mash like crazy if you get the timing down of the combo and don't spam the button dodges get so much easier to do

when you "git gud" you can enable hard mode and never upgrade your staff

Being kind and acting as if this isn't bait, as many of these threads turn out to be, there will not be a difficulty option.

This game is boss fight after boss fight, every 5 minutes or so. There's very few mechanics you have to learn but the entire game play is based around them so making it easier isn't going to make you better at the game. My advice is just go to any boss and just practice dodging, no attacks just learn when to click (not mash) the dodge button. When you understand openings you can throw in light attack flurries which build focus, heavy attack when you have focus points to deal more damage and stun etc. That's the entire gameplay loop.

So this game is only boss no adventure aspect etc?

Well it if you're looking for a purely RPG adventure then you may be disappointed. This is no Witcher 3 etc and despite what some people inexplicably claim, this is a souls-like more than it is an action RPG like God of War which it seems to be compared to over and over

I see, so far it just seems like mostly just boss game really

Well it is a bit of a boss rush at times, simply because there are so many bosses I guess.

But it also has some very high quality production cut scenes and story segments that add a nice touch and I guess that is where some of the God of War comparisons come from.

I do think some people have been very misled as to what kind of game this is and I have reviewed it warning people this is not an easy game. I have had responses to my review that are just absurd, one recent one claims it is like Assassins Creed lmao!

I love the game but I love the souls genre, others may not appreciate this aspect at all

If you really wanted, you could always use cheat tables to experience the game. But yes, considering this game has a strong focus on history and culture, it would've been nice if easier difficulties were added so more people could experience the game.

I think the OP alludes to using the cheats in the edited post. Since it's not an online game I suppose I don't have much opinion outside of I've never used any sort of cheats that weren't actually built into the game which was common in old school games.

As for difficulty options for greater accessibility I honestly don't know if I agree. On one hand, I suppose I shouldn't care because people can just adjust to their own liking. I do get that point and I can't say it doesn't make sense.

However i also see the point of artistic goals and experiencing something at the intended level. A really good example to me is Sifu. It's a game that was designed on its basic difficulty called disciple. Later in development they added a master mode and a student mode. Student mode truly changes the experience tremendously to where it changes the actual special feel of the game. And even the same can be said for the master mode. Of course loving the game I'll prefer master mode to student, but arguably disciple is the best way to play the game because it's how the entire game was developed. Other modes just add or subtract more artifical difficulty factors.

In this game, people can continue to level up as they replay each area they are stuck in which would eventually have them make progress. The game is very forgiving in you don't lose what you earn when you die.

Finally, i grew up in NES and SNES days where you may be stuck for a long time on a level. It's a great feeling to make real progress and this game is a pretty good middle ground to that or traditional souls games imo. Most people consult guides automatically as evidenced by millions of views on streamer walk through and secrets guides day 1.

When you finish the game you can play on the hard difficulty, now you play on easy

You're ruining your game by cheating, just farm a bit if you're too weak

I'm not going to waste my time grinding.
Cheating is so much more enjoyable.
There are plenty of other games to enjoy where I don't have to grind either.
