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?

It's not really a souls-like imo for this reason, but that doesn't mean that it's a bad game lol.

It's way better than having no difficulty modes like Elden Ring who has crutches instead making the game a child play. No difficulty in Fromsoft games just mean the game is dumb easy by default.

It's not even meant to be a soulslike it's just a hard rpg game

YES THIS EXACTLY.

Difficulty modes allows them to keep it difficult for us while providing modes for casuals so the game actually sells.

So we can keep getting these games and not have our normal difficulty compromised for them.

Back in my day people enjoyed playing video games. Miss those times

You were not going to buy it and if you actually were but decided not to because of something you can completely ignore and what never effects you, you are the weakest mofo i have ever seen.

Un ironically way stronger than you

OP is right but "modern gamers" flame him, no wonder gaming is doomed when players are like that.

It's the only way they know how to vent, because they are small, and weak :P it's okay.

Messaggio originale di Ziack:

As I mentioned, it's knowing that I can simply drop the difficulty, that is the issue for me personally. It takes away the sense of accomplishment that I feel, overcoming the one difficulty that devs set for us.

Odd since - if your profile picture is yours - you don't seem to have disciplinary issues. Or does someone dangle a carrot in front of you in order for you to take your health seriously?

I like to overcome difficult challenges. It feels cheapened when you can simply make that challenge easier with a setting. It's really as simple as that.

So let me get this straight... you aren't buying a game because they include difficulty settings to give you greater control over your experience. If you can't get any fun out of something purely because you *know* that you can do something, while you have no intention of actually using it, that's entirely your own problem. If it has to do with your ego not being to accept that other people get to play the game on an easier difficulty, go get some therapy because it's not healthy.

Yes because Elden Ring clearly struggled with sales lol. You see it as good, I see it as lazy to just drop numbers, rather than hand crafting an experience that everyone can overcome with in game mechanics. That's what opinions are all about. I have one, you have one, the world goes on.

That's what I believe too, yet it even has a tag "Souls like"

I don't think you have it straight no, and I would caution against giving others unsolicited mental advice.

"unsolicited mental advice" Apparently telling someone they ought to go talk with n actual medical professional and see what's right for them is "mental advice" now. You need to spend less time ranting about the sheer existence of a difficulty slider and more time in the real world. It's worse than I thought.
