Souls games have always been hard because the developer wants players to learn how to play them as you go along, which is why souls vets tend to find the DLC fairly easy and the new guys complain about difficulty. If you don’t wanna engage with that then you probably don’t like their games, but if you enjoy it and it’s still too hard, there’s been an ingame solution to that since demon souls. Co-op. Summon two buddies to help you through a dungeon and kill a boss and the game gets way easier. That’s the “Miyazaki vision” all the fanboys get hard over. These games have always had ways to make them easier and I feel like the easy mode discussion just comes from people that aren’t willing to engage with the systems already in the series, or are just bitter that their power fantasy didn’t get fulfilled because their cool knight got turned into a roadside attraction one too many times.

I don't share the same experience as most people as I do enjoy these games including Elden Ring but I don't get a massive dopamine rush from beating a boss. I do kinda prefer the exploration. But that does include encountering new enemies and learning their behaviours and sometimes getting screwed over by rare enemy behaviour. Discovering new bosses,...

2024-07-05 09:09:21 +0000 UTCThat's a fair stance on it. But with a game like ER, I'd rather tweak my experience with baked-in systems like levels, magic, items and equipment rather than having the big "tune it all down" knob sitting in the menu, beckoning me like a Green Goblin mask whenever I get stuck on a boss. Plus I think it's kinda cool that someone can say " I beat Elden Ring" and you don't have to wonder or ask if they did it on the "intended" setting or not

2024-07-04 15:50:24 +0000 UTCyeah, but with video games, everyone's already having a different experience anyway especially an open world one like Elden ring I don't think an option for a different experience is bad either

2024-07-04 15:24:19 +0000 UTCI mean, aesthetic options aren't really the same as mechanical ones. Making a gore-free cut of the SAW series is gonna impact the experience more than simply editing all the gore green

2024-07-04 13:23:10 +0000 UTCDude, the games being hard is part of the lore. You think killing a demigod is easy?

2024-07-04 12:47:48 +0000 UTCFromsoft games are designed the way they are for a reason. Just because it sells a lot, it doesn’t mean it has to cater to people who wouldn’t play these games in the first place.
