When you can grind souls, improve your character and little by little make it more easy.
And if you really want just straight up god mode for people with major head contusions, there are trainers.

Dificulty settings aren't accessibility options.

Don't see anything wrong with this. The option doesn't hurt, but If a dev doesn't want to, they don't have to.

For those of you curious why this guy cares he literally can't use his right hand for video games.

So long as they call the difficulty "Crippled" I'm okay with it.

Not every videogame is made for everyone

If a game is too hard it's easier to just go play something else than for the devs to make adjustments to a formula that clearly already works.

Dog it's been 10 years, y'all aren't tired of begging for easy mode?

then why is he trying to play video games at all?
why demand that everyone cater to his disabled ass

"Accessibility options" cause the developers to lose money (ie hiring voice actors to read text) or development to slow (ie spending time on colorblind options). The vast majority of people will only suffer from spending time and resources of "accessibility".

It's his career.

Is the demographic of literal downie retards big enough to where they can dictate how games are made?

developers shouldn't compromise on their vision, especially for half-blind one armed retards.

The problem with difficulty settings in video games is the way the devs balance around it. What really gets my goat is when a "higher difficulty" is nothing more than just turning enemies into damage sponges. It seems like this guy doesn't have an understanding of game design, if you ask me.

His speedrun of Vanquish is based so he has a right to say whatever the fuck he wants.

>twitter screen shot from a literal who is a valid reason to make a thread
OP you as an individual are directly responsible for the nose diving quality of this board. For the love of fucking god stop this.

Lower difficulties are fine as long as it prevents you from getting everything. Clearing games at higher difficulties should yield exclusive rewards for those that brave the challenge.

Why should every game be accessible to everyone?

Games are not a passive medium like TV, films, music, or books. They are interactive. And most require some sort of skill or cleverness on the player's part.

It's like sports.... If you can't ice-skate, don't complain that hockey isn't inclusive enough for you...

What DOES impact my enjoyment is when s*yboys like this fucking faggot cruise through the game on a literal babby mode and then demand the same credit and bragging rights as someone who beats the game on the intended or higher difficulty.
>accessibility options
Just look at this Orwellian mental gymnastics, holy shit. "I want cheats and easy mode but don't you dare to call me out on it".
Fuck off.

I do actually agree that it could be a better product if they added more options for tuning difficulty. It's a simulation running on MY computer, why not give me some dials to tune. I'm aware of the design INTENT, so it's not like I couldn't revert to the intended experience if I wanted to.

Ideally, games let us tune everything. I love dev modes in games and would be excited to have that be a standard feature.

He's a speedrunner who's exceedingly good at video games, probably better than you, despite only having full use of one of his hands. You're some dipshit who isn't thinking about what he's saying and doesn't realize that being able to personalize your difficulty level in a video game doesn't obligate you to do so. He's right, and you're wrong.

>UMMMMM SO WHAT IF THIS GAME HAS HOMOS, NIGNOGS AND UGLY MARY SUE CHARACTERS? IT'S NOT FOR YOU.
>Ummm this game is too hard I demand you make it for me

Under the assumption of infinite time and resources it's easy to say this about fucking anything. If the developers don't allocate enough time to properly balance the "ideal difficulty" then they can always just get away from it by saying you can use the accessibility options if you find the game too difficult. Just leads to poor game design to appeal to an unwilling demographic.

I think handicapped people should be able to experience the game. However, changing the difficulty isn't the right way to go. It should be focused on controllers and setups for those people. There are things on the market for playing games. Changing to difficulty to give a sub par experience doesn't really let you get the same experience

>posts a video of the literal-who

>LITERAL literal who has an opinion about a literally who
ill give you credit for the pottery but I wont watch your stupid video

Something like this would unironically be pretty fun for Souls games just for fucking around with. That being said, devs still aren't obligated to put it in, especially if it clashes with the vision they have for the game. There could be a first-timer mode for Souls games, but if they don't want it in it's not going in, simple as that.

Also, even if there are difficulty options in place, nobody should be demeaned for wanting to use them. "Git gud" sometimes isn't an option for someone with a disability or something. You only get demeaned if you play on easy and start bitching anyway.

People are retarded and will optimize/avoid/cheat all the fun out of a game if you let them. Accessibility is nice and all bit only if it doesn't conflict with design.

Being able to acquire items for no effort (or worse, for money) in Skinner boxes literally removes the fun. Adding a easy mode to a game for which the theme is literally overcoming adversity through perseverance renders the experience meaningless. Ect....

calm down robert.

He's not insisting he be allowed to play with people who have legs. He wants to play with people who don't have legs. It's up to developers to make that a possibility.

Imagine actually thinking speedrunners are skilled

dark souls has an easy mode though its called picking up the zwiehander at the start or using a black knight weapon.

I can't beat dark souls and I'm not even disabled. I think it's best he accepts that not all video games are made for everyone.

Anyone who doesn't have a legitimate mental deficiency is capable of performing the same feats as anybody else. It's not that most people CAN'T handle hard games, it's that they don't want to put in any effort. I have no problem with the general philosophy of forcing people to get good or get lost.

That doesn't have anything to do with his point. Making games more accessible as an option is just that; an option. It doesn't affect people who don't use it. Your experience is the same. I'm on the side of giving customers more options for everything across the board. I like customizing my experience because it usually results in me having the most fun.

1. A difficulty setting would not affect his ability to play the game itself, only dull down the experience for him.
2. The series in question has multiple easier methods of playing the game and has been notorious for it's significantly low execution requirement.
3. There are people with far worse disabilities who play far more intensive videogames.

Options are a positive thing but there's nothing wrong with one difficulty setting. I personally like one difficulty setting because the easy modes feel useless and it usually gives devs the excuse to make a hard mode where they just make the game tedious through damage sponging enemies or something like that.

No he is trying to walk into the NBA an play.

Why does everything in the world have to be accessible to everyone who lives in it? Should I get to come fuck your wife because it's unfair for you to have the sole right to bang her?

To get away from unfair comparisons, you can't please everyone. What percentage of the population has one hand? What percentage of one handed people play videogames? What percentage of one handed people who play videogames want to play Sekiro specifically? As an admittedly inaccurate guess, it's probably under 1% of the overall market population that they're considering. Should they now also make their game accessible to all the other >1% groups of people who might want to play their game? Should there be an option for blind people that narrates the action in the game out to them, so they can play? It's just ridiculous. Play a different game.

this board is 18+ boyo

Mass Effect 3 had "Narrative" difficulty which was for people who only wanted to play the story and the enemies were basically one-shot kills.

I only used it once after I beat the game because I didn't want to go through the entire Earth run again at regular difficulty just to see the changed ending DLC. It was offensively easy compared to what I'd played previously.

>accessibility

Nigga if you don't have the ABILITY and aptitude in the first place then what is an easier time going to do for you?

I understand different people value different things. But video -games- are meant to challenge you, not be a walk in the park.

If you havent beat KH2FM on LV1CM or KH3 on Lv1Pr no sit commands then you're a bitch, plain and simple.

it's valid argumentation when we are talking about actual disabilities that prevent normal gameplay (though there are now more options than ever to customize controls all the way up to fully customized controllers)

when we are talking about lazy shit eating normie shitters not bothering to invest any time into learning the game then they can fuck off

Just because the internet has allowed faggots easy access to publishing avenues doesn't mean their opinions are any less retarded than the down syndrome kids you knew in school.

shit games

The problem is that the amount of people using "accessibility options" or easy modes aren't people with actual disabilities, they're just people without time or patience to learn anything aka journalists who actually have a huge influence on what the general populace buys or not. These fuckers are the same people who faceroll through the entire game on the easiest setting without even trying to understand the mechanics or what they're doing wrong and then they have the gall to review the game as if they actually played it. Remember that Doom video with the journo fucking up harder than anyone has fucked up before? That shit probably happens all the time and they just don't show it, yet they go on to review games anyway.

Casuals are intellectually weak.

If you walk away from a challenge in a video game that says a lot about you as a person and tells me that I can walk all over you and you won't do shit. I will purposely go out of my way to berate you if you're a casual.

I'm so sick of hearing "it's just a game" no, it's a right of passage. This is a pathetic excuse that casuals hold onto instead of strengthening as a person. You are inferior to me in every way.

You know. I really don't think anyone is entitled to enjoy video games. If you dislike a video game, and other people like it as is, why does your anger/frustration/boredom get to supersede the fun of the people who do enjoy it? Or, supersede the devs freedom to create the game he wants? There are other games out there that will cater to your taste without compromising their artistic integrity, shouldn't that be what you want?

I'm okay with accessibility but they make zero sense in an RPG because they're built around the choices that you make. It's why in Nier Automata, difficulty settings make no sense and it's why the leveling system doesn't even work, with enemies scaling up with you anyway to preserve the difficulty.

I sorta agree with you but your post is cringe as fuck

imagine being so starved for purpose that you constantly post on twitter about how devs are literally committing violence against people by not including ez modes. like lmao just don't buy games known for their difficulty.

Are these retards too dumb to know about cheat engine?

That's you conceding. Acting like it doesn't matter is you dismissing your loss.

I didn't post it. But I know who he is because I watch speedrun marathons. The guy champions accessibility for disabled gamers and has for several years. I'm of the mind that if someone wants to ruin their gameplay experience by removing all of the difficulty then it's their fucking money and they should be able to do just that. What I don't care for is trying to petition developers to change games that have already released. While I don't think that's what he's doing, I understand how many people would interpret it like this.

ok? You could say the same thing about there being no difficulty settings.

Developers have limited time and budget, sometimes there's no time to balance a game on multiple difficulties

If the developer doesn't want to add difficulty modes then tough shit. Instead of demanding developers make things more easily accessible how about you just fuck off from this hobby forever.

Because it's a waste of dev time to balance a lower difficulty setting when youtube and cheat engine already exist.

The issue itself matters. Your opinion on it, as well as my opinion on it, does not. What we're doing here is for our own entertainment, the outcome of our "debate" isn't going to have any effect on the issue whatsoever. Your post,

>You're all getting bent out of shape for what is essentially no reason. Whether someone else plays a game on an easier difficulty doesn't affect you at all, so why are you getting emotional? I don't see you flipping your shit on games that already have difficulty settings.

Is basically three sentences of "lol why do u care." It's a nothing argument. Obviously we only care insofar as we're unhappy that someone is wrong on the internet.

If the developer intent was for you to overcome the hurdles or to play a specific way and then they don't want to give you an easy out then you have to respect that. If you don't agree with that intent, then that's fine. Some people will agree with you and some won't. Just watch a playthrough like the little bitch you are if you're so hung up about not being able to beat a game.

Fuck off, creators do not have to accommodate your refusal to learn. They owe you NOTHING.

so why does he have to antagonize everybody for not catering specifically to him instead of just asking devs to add easy modes or accessibility options? no one is obligated to only make things he can participate in. he can find other things he can participate in.

If that guy read this interview he'll have a tantrum

It's to illustrate that your response is emotional without merit. You are treating this instance differently than you treat other instances. This betrays that the opinion you're pretending to have is not your real opinion.

speedrunners are only good at 1 game and 1 game alone and they play that same game over and over again for years and years. Some have been playing the same shit since they were a child and still playing it in their late 20's early 30's.

It's fucking Dark Souls though. It's literally how the game is designed, it's supposed to be a ruthless crapsack world. What next, make the police in GTA less aggressive? Tone down the explosions in a Call of Duty game?

The introduction of bitchmodes like LFR ruined WoW more than it already was
Accessibility is not always an improvement

wow let me bow down king.

Is that why they made Nioh easier?

I don't see what was emotional about my post or what that has anything to do with the points I made. You should probably directly address those intead of posting three strawmen.

I'm not against accessibility options, especially difficulty settings, but to state that someone should "absolutely re-evaluate" their opinion is nonsense. It's akin to saying that his opinion that all games should cater to everyone is an objective fact. Which it is most assuredly not. It is perfectly sensible that a game can be designed entirely around being difficult, as games, (much like movies) can have a target audience.

It was probably an immeasurable improvement for a lot of people. Not everything that happens will be to the benefit of everyone.

Obviously. Doesn't change the fact that an option you don't need to turn on can make the game more enjoyable to disabled people. Like colorblind mode. It has no effect on you. You're not wailing about that when it's included in games. But you're wailing about another option you also wouldn't use, as if the mere presence of an easy mode would somehow fucking tarnish your accomplishments.

No.

Because it detracts from the design of the game you fucking moron. These games are thematically designed to be about learning from your mistakes and trying over and over until you get it right. You cheapen the overall design of Souls/Bloodborne/Sekiro by adding in a difficulty setting because the difficulty is part of the core design. How much of a fucking brainlet are you? Do you even play video games? The lack of difficulty settings combined with the actual game mechanics of these types of games should inform you that making it EASIER dilutes the actual vision of the game. How about you actually learn something about fucking game design instead of demanding game designers cater to your mental deficiency. The game is supposed to be challenging, that's the whole fucking point you god damn moron.

I mean it's probably hard for him to hold a lot of anything.

that's how facts and logic work, yes

Imagine being THIS shit at video games lol. Holy fuck just imagine it

My personal beef isn't specifically with developers adding or not adding additional options to games to tweak the difficulty (though I believe that's entirely up to them). It's with people who expect the world to bend over ass-backwards to accommodate their particular circumstances, because it's both incredibly unhealthy and incredibly common. No one is the center of any universe except their own, and no one is owed anything by anyone. If more people could accept that life would be a lot more pleasant.
