WAS going to buy this game until...

[Ziack]

I saw a review saying there is an "Easy mode". How tf do you put an easy mode in a souls game? and why? So sick of this generation of "Gamers"

Edit: I guess it's time I edit this, as people don't read through entire threads for the updated information, and this thread is never dying it seems... lol

After learning that you were stuck on a one way trip for the difficulty you chose, I decided this was good enough to give the game a try, because I like these types of games. The whole point behind what I said, is to convey that I feel a sense of accomplishment with these types of games, but several people have seen fit to insult and down right be nasty, even suggesting mental problems, when they truly know nothing about me at all, it's quite sad.

Fast forward to now, and they have released a patch that nearly no one is happy with from what I can see. They have nerfed bosses in both normal and easy, which makes literally no sense.

My wife plays this game too, and struggled a lot with the first two bosses, yet because of the games very forgiving "Catch up" mechanics, she was able to gain more levels and master, and eventually win. It's so forgiving, that she is mastery 12 right now, and I am mastery 9, while I have just beaten viper, and she is still grinding the second version of the second boss.
Point is, the game rewards you for continuing to try, and when you succeed, you're supposed to finally feel good, but now, this is cheapened by them just making bosses easier, even for us normal players.

I beat Viper on the second try, but I don't know how nerfed he is, because I can't find any information on this, and I guess I'll never know, I am just left unsatisfied, wishing I played sooner, my bad?

Jesus christ... easy mode existed since 90's. Just play in the intended difficulty, what does it matter if someone wants to play baby mode? how does it affect you?

Yes yes guys I went and bought the game. Once I learned that going to easy mode was a one way trip and that there is an achievement for beating it on normal. That makes me feel good you see? Anyway, everyone can stop crying now :D

However, them nerfing bosses is incredibly ridiculous considering if you're stuck you can just play easy mode. No one can make that make sense.

So you only cared about difficulty when you weren't aware there was no differentiating achievement to prove you beat it on a higher difficulty. So you don't care about difficulty, you just care that people could possibly think you might have beat it on Easy and now with caring about the nerf you think people will look down on you for beating something post-nerf. Seek help.

Good to know you won’t buy it because some NPC will be playing on easy mode. Thanks for validating your gaming life via a NPC

You meant to say souls-like, but even Souls games have an easy mode. It's just not spelled out for toddlers.

[Spijuniro Golubiro]

is the normal mode the "hard" mode or is there some option to change it to hard mode?

Hate to break it to you but easy node = normal.

Normal = hard in this game.

Plus it literally doesn't affect you in the slightest how others play.

They should have named it normal and hard, so the casuals would feel better about only being to beat normal mode instead of easy.

You're absolutely right. The new generation isn't bad, it's just that there are more of them, and a good number of them are bad at games. They're the ones who respond to you with offense, because they recognized themselves.

But the problem isn't them; bad players have always cried for someone to push them to a level they're not at, because mentally, they're children who want to "have fun."

The problem comes from publishers who want to please the masses, that is, quantity, at the expense of quality. This has always meant that we have quality games, but now we have disposable ones. With the forums, noobs were able to express their desire to be strong without making any effort, and... the publishers listened to them... idiots that they are, pushing aside not the geeks, the try-hards, and the like, but simply the good players, who are good simply because they are good, in favor of the mass of children who destroy all current games.

The proof? Since the MOP expansion of World of Warcraft (I don't remember which year), we've observed a casualization of games, that is, a pro-noob policy that, for the publisher, means that games are no longer played but consumed much faster, being easier...

Whose fault is it, behind the publishers?

As always, money, not profitability but maximum profit, specific to Anglo-American countries.

The disgusting capitalism that European countries are discovering and which makes them vomit.

That's why know i know that this game is an easy mode game, i won't buy it, like many others.
