Difficulty ruining the fun? WeMod is you friend

[Beta Ray Shill]

Google 'WeMod Black Myth Wukong' (since you apparently can't post direct links)

Yes, I'm well-aware of the average Steam user's maturity levels.

Yes, the link is essentially throwing meat to the piranha.

I don't care, it's just a game.

Anyways, for those of you who are better are your day-job than playing video games, the above is essential IMO.

I only use the ‘damage multiplier’, because I’m not your average cheater.

But you can knock yourself out, as you can see.

Frankly, the core gameplay mechanics are definitely not for me (I never bought Elden Ring, either), and I don’t have time to invest in learning boss patterns.

Spending several hours retrying the same boss (hello ‘Wandering Wight’ and ‘Whiteclad Noble’) is not an option at this stage in my life. I also wouldn’t feel any satisfaction from ‘overcoming’ the challenge - because I wouldn’t be able to buy a new extension with that, would I? Whereas if I invest the same time in pitching a new idea for my employer, and successfully coding it, I get a pay increase as a contractor.

We’re all at different stages in life, and my job is where I invest time - games are for stress-relief/unwinding.

For me, this game is a rare gem in terms of visual originality - I haven’t seen game design this imaginative for many, many years. In fact, I can’t even remember seeing anything as inventive as this.

But that all sours very fast when you keep getting killed by a whiteclad, spear-throwing maniac - only to beat him, and realise he then regains his health and transforms into a faster snake-thing.

Look, I don’t have the time.

I paid for entertainment - and I got that back with the above mod (thanks damage multiplier).

Seriously - just read these comments about the whiteclad noble fight:

It’s ruining the game for people, but if they just install WeMod and tweak it to their ‘twitch-skill’ level, the game is magically fun again.

Your intention is good, but I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to post any links that provide cheats. It's just a matter of time before it gets removed.

I think that's for multiplayer games only, though

I still don't know the Legitimacy of we mod

I think the other guy is right - you're 'allowed' post cheat links - but just in case, I've posted the google suggestion that'll lead people there instead...

If you want god of war level of difficulty, the WeMod settings I use are:

1. Defence multiplier: 2
2. Damage multiplier: 1.5

With the above, I die about as much times as I used to in God of War, still need to concentrate on what's going on but don't need to repeat the same mindless boss fight 20 times to 'learn' the correct way to beat it.

That's a no-way, not-a-hope at this point in my life/career. As in, for sure there are people who are substituting this thing for a real job, and are putting all their energy into what's a computer game.

If there's no financial reward for the additional stress/effort - there'll be no investment from me.

Overall, I realise that although this is a well-made game, the genre is frankly loathsome. Chapter 2 has been a joyless, miserable trek through a rocky nothingness, with tedious rock creatures around every corner (or if you're lucky, the cheap-shot archer variants).

And nothing else. No story, no breakage in the monotony.

I think about the exercise this thing gave my brain - effectively twitch reflexes with a controller. And I'm struggling to find any intelligence in the hand-eye-yakkity-yak of it all.

Anyway, it's better than everything else that was released this arid gaming year. So I don't regret the spend.

Indeed: https://ie.trustpilot.com/review/wemod.com

Add in a slick, painless UI for the 'cheats' (just press play and then tweak) and this thing is the way to go for games like this.

Ofc WeMod/CE can temper with the game at runtime to achieve improved defense and damage, etc., however I'd be willing to use a pak type of mod because they are less intrusive. I'm a little bit curious that why there is no such easy mode mods so far, given that the game should be really easy to mod (just count them on nexusmods). (There are several on nexusmods that improve responsiveness of light attack and dodge, but those are not quite the conventional easy modes mods that tweaking the stats (attack power, dmg reduction, etc.).)

P/S I'll probably make one myself later especially for NG+. Currently I'm playing this game on steam deck which is not quite sophisticated for modding work.

====== EDIT ======
Setting aside stat mods, the "better roll" mod currently on nexusmods can also greatly reduce the difficulty. This mod allows spam roll, eliminating the requirement for timing enemies' attacks. As a result you can focus on finding attack windows to grind down boss' health without worrying about most of their attacks. You'll be still required to learn some boss' special counter mechanics to progress. It's like transforming an ACT game into a casual puzzle game.

WeMod seems to have a very high trust rating re: potential 'intrusiveness'. Outside of that, it's very, very well-made.

If you're going to create a 'god of war' mod though, you really only need to tweak the above two stats and everything else just falls into place.

Issue with the base game (IMO) is damage-sponge enemies and the 'glass cannon' MC.

Also, it seems the real trick to winning is combo-combo-combo and then unleash the built-up-thing (focus).

Issue being it should be better-telegraphed with some glow effect etc that you've got some charge to expend and so on.

But either way, I watch it all with mild amusement and low-key disinterest - amazingly crafted game, with some exceptionally bleak cutscenes (the rat monster eating its own father)... But otherwise, not my jam.

Yeah I feel bad about that.

At least I'm great at making cash from my business.

You don’t have to explain yourself, there is a lot of people here in the same point in their lives. But is good to see someone trying to throw some reasoning about this around here.

After checking on that app, I am going to be trying it for sure with this game.

I feel the same way as you. I'm attracted to this game because of the visual quality, the music, the story. I think it's a different and refreshing ip. And all of its aspects will contribute to an impeccable immersion, at least in my case I think so. But I have no interest in the challenge behind the difficulty. In the end it's just about numbers. The amount of damage you take and the amount of damage you can do. And we can modify those number with Wemod or other apps out there. To be honest, I would like the developers to understand that these apps will become more and more popular and that many users will end up using them. If the developers refuse to include difficulty modes, someone else is already doing it for them. And also making a business in the process.

Reason number one for me to get this game on sales. Because if I am going to be also paying for another product in order to enjoy the game on my terms, then I am not paying full price for the game.

There's nothing wrong with cheating or using a hack in a single-player game. It's no different from modding. Go ahead and hack your game and have fun.

While I usually don't agree to these mods when it regarding multiplayer, I agree with what you posted here and thank you. I was stuck at one point, and yes I want a challenge but not something which I'll have to repeat myself 20+ times. Damage multiplier, just a little makes all the difference...Still die, but I have a better fighting chance. :)

you mean you "missed" the story, given I could tell you from the top of my head that chapter 1 was about a temple that got burned down and rebuilt under a different name and the ending cut scene shows how that happens, if you missed the story that's fine, just don't lie through your teeth, I've missed parts of the story myself but I ain't going to say there ain't a story.
