Remove difficulty options

[Carlucio]

So I really liked the demo but I was embarassed when I saw the difficulty options. The people who say they need that don't really like this kind of games. Make it for the fans and you will be rewarded. Give us an experience that is relatable and can we can talk about.

Does it hurt you to know that someone will beat the game on easy mode that much? Why does it hurt you so much? just play on normal and enjoy the game friendo or if the game has a hard mode in full release play it on that. I know I will. And when I’m playing on normal or hard I will be enjoying the game too much to ever think about people playing on easy.

Given the dnf influence I’m sure we will be able to revisit levels and maybe even on unblockable harder difficulties

This is a stupid take. You have a Nier profile pic, I beat that game on Very Hard which was one of the most brutal experiences ever. Should others be forced to do the same because I found it fun? Also if you are referencing the souls genre, Difficulty was baked into those games, but you could 100% find the easy mode in all of them.

Dad Build - DS1
Hex caster - DS2
Straight sword & shield or suffer a bit and then go caster - DS3
Bleed build, Str build, or Azure Comet cheese - Elden Ring
Take axe until get hammer...hammer time - Bloodborne

The main thing is these all had Multiplayer and to keep the community better connected beyond NG+ they couldnt do a setting. Kazan is single player and in no way is having a difficulty option going to take away from your enjoyment if you play at a higher difficulty.

Yeah limit the games ability to sell to a certain class of people. Great business sense there bud. I love souls games and appreciate the difficulty they bring but this doesn't hurt anything as I just don't use the easy mode.

There is easy... for people to just enjoy the story...

There is normal... for souls like players...

I wouldn't say anything if there was like : Easy, medium, hard, berserk, The Kazakhstan warrior....

But there are literally just 2 options...

I've played all the souls games including some of the soulslike and I can honestly say, the difficulty option is a good idea. Look at Lords of the fallen, although it's more traditional in terms of ng+, they allow you to stay at the current game difficulty after each cycle, thus allowing you to never need to level up again once you're satisfy with a build (especially great for pvp). Plus, ng+ difficulty is not going to improve the AI, it's just damage sponge slap on top of doing more damage to the player. So if you could already do a no damage run or at least near perfect, then the difficulty doesn't really matter. Just look at Nioh for another example, once you got down all the tech, the game is no longer difficult but fun. The other difficulty levels are just there for you to explore your creativity and do even more insane combos.
Considering that this game is similar to Nioh in a lot of ways, I would see no problem if the difficulty happens to be just like it. For the most part, we haven't even seen pass the first few chapters. It could be more difficult later on. For that, we will wait and see.

I really don't get people who wants to make others suffer... How insecure must you be that you are offended by a difficulty option in a videogame?

[Kyo Tanaka]

Difficulties shouldn't matter since this is a single player experience. Don't let little Timmy playing on easy mode bruise your ego, that's kind of sad.

[LordApollo474]

"I was embarrassed" a little soft then, aren't we? 😂

[Squidpunch]

It's a demo. Get over it.

[Q1]

I promise you this OP finds whatever cheese and exploit they can to win and then swears they never did any such thing. while pointing fingers at others who did the same thing

I used to call them "Consort Clowns", named after the infamously hard Consort Radahn fight in Elden Ring DLC because they'd swear they didn't use a cheese strat and whine about every bug fix or boss nerf.

Must be bait.

Cant imagine why one would care about how OTHERS play their SINGLEPLAYER games.

[Drake Duckson]

Agree. They should also remove option to decrease sound volume and remove ability to quit the game. Otherwise it's too casual.

[Tom Akar]

never read such a stupid stuff. Asking for removing lol. Play it on the mode you want, and let others choose what fits for them. Example me. I like this kind of games but i dont have so much patience and thats why i leave this games/do not buy them. And there many out there, which like the grafixs, style, story of some games but they cant enjoy it, because they do not have the time/patience or whatever to try it dozen times. i tried it and for me an easy mode would be nice, but its grey, so i cant change from normal to easy :D

[NetoJON]

Let me guess. You voted for trump…

first : why is easy mode a danger for you ? why it cant exist without you useing it ?
or are you scared to feel like the game is to difficult for you and you see your self droping to easy ?

second : i hate to break it for you. but you gain nothing in your reallife or career for beeing good at video games ? you boss or teacher will not say "respect bro for beeing so good in khazan , man i realy wish i would be like you ... you are a freaking hero man !"
when you die it will not be writen on your grave "best gamer of all time , we will never find a better one ! you died to soon mate !"

when i read stuff like this i realy struggel to not drop to easy mode to run through this game just to uninstall it and to never touch it again. i mean thats the plan anyways after this game struggle to be fun and good and just try to waste playtime. but yes ... maybe i will do myself a favor and fastforward that all.
