Game Journalists Need To Respect Developers By Doing Their Fucking Job Correctly

The game already has an easy mode, it's called 'tapping the L1 button'

>The Godfather Needs to Respect Its Viewers And Add A Version Where Michael Explains What He Means Before The Credits Roll At The End
The absolute state of gaming. Shit like this is exactly why it will never be as respected as literature or film. Actual critics and """journalists""" covering the medium begging for more toned down mass appeal garbage.

You'd think having a career where you sit on your ass all day drinking starbucks and writing about videogames would already be easy enough. Any self respecting twat who had a genuine passion for the industry would be respecting the developers first by not demanding they compromise their vision just because some journo is too fucking incompetent at his job.

goddamn I hate these video game "journalists"

RESPECT MY DECISION TO PREFER TO WATCH A MOVIE INSTEAD OF PLAYING A GAME OKAY?? YOU ENTITLED DEVELOPER?? ALSO THOSE GAMERS OVER THERE STOP BEING ENTITLED AND ASKING FOR DEVELOPERS TO ADD WHATEVER YOU WANT INTO THEIR GAMES, YOU TOXIC ASSHOLES

You can either respect the devs or goad on the blue haired vocal minority people shouting at you on Twitter. The latter gets you more clicks and attention while earning wokepoints, so this is what we get.

>people meme DARK SOULS PREPARE TO DIE as being goty of all years because >muh supur hardcore gameplay
>people buy new game from developers of DARK SOULS PREPARE TO DIE
>people proceed to cry about how it's too hard
people are retarded. the game is supposed to be hard. it's literally FROMsoft's fucking hook.

Why are people so incapable of just like losing and/or walking away like it's just a game nigga.

Nothing can really top the disgrace of that Cuphead tutorial video. I imagine that's the kind of gamer most video game journalists are these days. They are so fucking unbelievably bad at their jobs.

daily reminder:

How I don't understand
an 11 year old can play this shit better and these fuckers are paid to review games. How do these fucks still have jobs?

Wasn't the defense for this that some cunt who worked there let his girlfriend play the game, and they were too lazy to record more decent footage so they just said fuck it and used this?
It's sad that this scenario coukd apply to so many things, like this: youtube.com/watch?v=848Y1Uu5Htk

because their job is to push marxist propaganda, not play games

Some of the article is about disabled people and making games easier for them if they want to play it, and I don't think there's any problem with that, but it's obvious that the journo is just using accessibility as a scapegoat to complain about the fact that he's getting bodied by the game and just needed a way to cry about it.

Respect has to be earned, Dave. What have you done that's worthy of respect?

Why not just cheat?

There's like a million trainers out there already.

Shit, just download WeMod.

You can make your self invincible, just do that.

I used WeMod to bypassing all the grinding for materials and coin to buy quest shit.

>tries to jump on them like mario
oh my fuck

It just needs to remove rng. Anything with dice rolls is shit

To be fair, I don't understand why they won't just do it.
Double damage dealt while half damage taken, this shit would be easy to implement and their sales would increase just as easily. It's cool From respects their initial fanbase instead of shitting on them, but I'd say adding an easy mode won't alienate those. It would probably only alienate those 5 retards that think their penis gets bigger because they beat a game casuals can't beat.

No, he's just a dumb cunt.

Only to get to the next segment and waste more of your life doing the same thing.

I like to have a consistent pace through a game.

>consistently failing is consistent

Fuck you.

Player doesn’t owe anything to the game you stupid corporate cuckold
>unironically making the retarded comparison between understanding a movie and finishing a game
You can easily watch the Godfather beginning to end without understanding a single thing, the movie doesn’t stop and give you a quiz before allowing you to watch the next scene.

t.dave thier

Like books video games can be enjoyed at one's own pace.

The game isnt even that hard my God. If you like easy games play easy games, how hard is that to understand?

>You can easily watch the Godfather beginning to end without understanding a single thing
That was my point, that a movie reviewer saying something like "it's unfair! why is understanding this movie so hard?!" is just as retarded as bitching about not being able to beat a video game, of all things.

You basically summed up how the S.T.A.L.K.E.R difficulty system is

Imagine going to school for journalism with your sights set on the New York Times or Forbes and you end up writing about fucking video games.
These people are almost all retarded and salty that they will never be taken seriously. Every terrible clickbait article is a cynical lashing out against a hobby they secretly despise and blame for their own failure as a Serious Journalist. These are sad, sad people and I genuinely feel bad for them most of the time.

Me with the grim reaper in Castlevania.

I'd feel bad for them if they weren't actively working to make society worse

If you understood Sekiro you could beat it.

That's when I stop feeling bad for them. Whining about difficulty in From games is just a tantrum about their job being too difficult for the level of respect they garner doing it which I think is one of the more valid tantrums to throw.

Whining about topical identity politics in games and actively attacking their readers / people who play games makes me stop feeling bad for them. You'd be unsurprised how deep it cuts when you call them out on being a glorified intern for whatever company they write for.

I beat it already, faggot. Guess what, some people are able to think outside the little box that is their basement, my God.
And my point was exactly "casuals will just play easy games", meaning an easy mode would boost sales while the normal mode would still be great for the core audience. But obviously you are among the 5 dudes with a little pecker like I already mentioned.

How can these people function in life if they can't function in a fucking videogame? Imagine if something truly challenging happened to them, would they break down and have a panic attack?

I didnt even mention you playing the game. You are projecting awful hard. Sekiro sold like hot cakes, your idea of making baby mode for everything is bad and you should feel bad. Why does everything have to be safe and easy for your pathetic fucks? Grow a back bone.

I tried to get into fighting games but I couldn't. They're just too hard and require lightning reflexes that I'll never have.
Still, I can understand that this particular genre isn't for me and I would never ask a company to dumb it for me even if it ruins it for its actual fans.

Strange you don't see similar criticism of epic store exclusives

If you don't want to play, don't play.

But you're not going very far in life with this attitude.

What's epic store?

how does it ruin it for actual fans?
you could have a easy mode and the normal/hard mode as well
it doesn't take anything away and lets people actually experience the game

I refuse to believe this isn't actually satire

Of course no; it's very, very blatant that they're being paid by Tencent to both praise the Epic Store and attack Valve.

>Steam has been a "monopoly" for almost 12 years
>Not even a single journalist criticized said "monopoly"
>Tencent decided to take over PC games distribution and get rid of Steam
>Suddenly every journalist under the sun is fighting Valve's "tyrannic oppression of the PC landscape"

how so user?
plenty of casuals out there who just want to have fun with a game

Except there are parts in sekiro that are literally impossible

Take your fun and shove it up your san fran hipster ass.

Because it would mean touching the core mechanics, the ones that make the game for its actual, true fanbase, and ruin it for them to please a piece of shit like me, that can easily drop the game after a week.

In fact it has been attempted, and at the end the "newcomers" never stuck.

>hold sprint

Wow so hard

I agree, all games should have difficulty modes

I should have to press X when an enemy approaches me to consent to being attacked in the first place

This is retarded. I love difficult video games but if you think that’s the only way to go through life you must be autistic.

Not everyone plays video games for the same reasons user. If I meet someone who doesn’t like to play souls game as long as they aren’t a pleb about it (“game sucks cause it’s hard”) then I don’t give a shit.

this. he doesnt give a shit about people that play games.
guranteed if there was an easy mode he'd dock points for lack of challenge to make himself sound like a hardcore gamer

You mean the attitude that he should be able to do anything without being challenged? That's retarded to you?

>Not everyone plays video games for the same reasons user
Which is exactly why trying to make a game that everyone can enjoy is not always a good thing.

>Never put any effort in to anything or else it is autstic
That is what you are saying user. So i have to ask are you off your meds?

>Ace Combat 7
>Resident Evil 2 remake

this what happens when journalists play on easy and still fucking dont know how to play games.

Nothing NOTHING good comes from catering to casuals who refuse to get better. Give them an inch and they will take a mile. It is literally a slippery slope.

stop giving attention to obvious bait articles, dumbass

the difficulty is part of the experience pleb

>and lets people actually experience the game
The difficulty IS the game. You dying over and over again on Lady Butterfly is you experiencing the game. The struggle you have is not a design flaw.

Bring back Itagaki. We need games that mock the player for choosing Easy Mode.

you dont "respect" anyone by babying them you fuckwit. you do not deserve your job doubt you earned it at all and just got it for some knee pad work, this "article" is only worthy of garbage like resetera forum post whining ffs

I gotta say, auto pickup would be a nice feature. It's not like pressing X after everything is already dead is skillful.

Is there anything lower than a journalist?

I looked it up it's on Forbes
I live under a rock, but isn't Forbes supposed to be a magazine about business?

No its legit get better at it or fuck off. From makes a series of games for a specific group of people who like it. Don't like it or wanna play something to "have fun"? Then play something else..at this point it isn't new that these games are hard

this

I have no idea why it's not even a thing. Why do you have to periodically hold X? It baffles me. It's easy to do, obviously, but makes no sense gameplay wise. It adds nothing but an extra needless step. I suppose if you dont want to pickup items?

>respecting anyone who hates women and minorities

NO THANKS, FRIEND!

Oh

I don't believe they actually have degrees. I refuse to believe it.

they respect their players by NOT adding an easy mode, though.

they could easily try to appeal to everyone, but they dont.

The bell tells you.

Does it? When I walked up to it Wolf just rang it.

what If I don't have 500 hours of free time to dump into a game yet I want to experience the world and th story
what now you retard?

guess you dont get to do it then, sorry. theres other games.

You don't need 500 hours. You need at most 50. You just want the world and story? Look up Sekiro the movie on youtube. Done and done.

What if I want to understand Finnegans wake but don't have 50000 hours to learn twenty languages and every historical event in history?

I guess that makes sense, but does that really detract from the fight?

>Grow a backbone

Reinforcing the e-pin point. You draw your self-esteem out of games, and that's incredibly pathetic.

Not really, you can understand every line of fucking code if you wish, the game still chooses enemy attacks randomly meaning you’re dead if you have old man reflexes

Maybe if you're not retarded, but instead if why do I have to go back and pick up items posts we'd have
OMG I just died because this stupid shit popped up mid fight

Tough shit, you make time for things that give you enjoyment. If you can't make the time for games, don't bitch about them being a better experience for those who can. Why should games be handicapped because some people like you have the attention span of a flea before turning to next month's hot new release?

Nothing wrong with adding an easy mode that needs to be toggle on for the shitters. However it MUST be called game journalist mode and when you select it small text appear in the bottom right corner saying it at all times. The mode also gives you 3 times the health and posture and unlimited revives and locks you into the worst ending.

Who the fuck dreamed about having sex as a kid? Were you touched by your uncle?

I didn't read the article. Did he actually say this?

I always wonder what is the purpose of these trainers. There's a good difference between using mods to get out of bounds and find hidden stuff outside of the playable area, but to play the game normally with a trainer like that just seems retarded.

He might be a virgin, but he's less virgin than you are. Only a turbo virgin could be so heavily invested into sex. Hence why these turbo virgins become trannies, thinking that their new genitalia will heighten their chances of losing their virginity.

In short, commit suicide.

How old are you to have a response time too slow to beat Sekiro? I have 280ms response time which is slow as fuck and I beat it in 24 hours including DoH.
Unless you're like 50+, that's not the issue. Have you seen how many of these retards play? Reflexes aren't the issue, the spend their time running around a boss and chipping away at its health to the point that a single boss fight takes 10+ minutes.
Watch any video from Fextralife for example, it's painful to watch that dude play.

Reviews are still a decent way to tell if a game is good or complete garbage most of the time.
Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro, etc. are all obviously quality games and their score reflects that, Anthem on the other hand is complete dogshit and its score reflects that.
Besides that, major publications usually get people who are good at certain genres to review certain games. The person who reviewed Sekiro for IGN is likely more skilled at the game than most of Yea Forums, considering they're bitching about easy shit like Genichiro and some even claim Butterfly/Gyoubu as "impossible."

nobody does that shit except fat neckbeards. You think normies give a shit about vidya reviews? They go by word of mouth. They buy the game, and if they don't like it, they sell it.
And Yea Forums only pretends to care about vidya reviews as part of a board-spanning ironic console war campaign. It's fucking retarded that people would LARP as insane fanboys but here it is, live and in color.

I bet that sounded good in (you)r head.

>You can easily watch the Godfather beginning to end without understanding a single thing, the movie doesn’t stop and give you a quiz before allowing you to watch the next scene.

It sort of does though, at the end of the movie, if you understood the plot and liked the movie then you got something out of it. I get that you don't like Sekiro bosses, but that's what From games are about. That would be like expecting Godfather to not be about the Mafia, of course Sekiro is gonna have hard boss battle wtf did you expect.

Godfather is good because it doesn't cater to the lowest common denominator just like Sekiro doesn't either. Git gud or die trying.

The thing I hate the most about this is that not ALL GAMES have to be made for (you), if you don't like game, play something else.
I'm not interested in a ton of games and I will never said that they have to change them FOR ME.
Holy shit, just move on fucking retard.

Okay, now this is epic.

How much do you want to bet some of these replies will feature in an article very soon about 'toxic gamers' and Sekiro's difficulty?

I hope they can feature this one: Don't play the game :)

I dont believe the game lets you ring it without reading the note telling you what it does, and after you do ring it you get a massive SINISTER BURDEN message, how could you not know?

I think a big part of it is that the experience is heavily dependent on the difficulty. If you've ever modded DaS or used hacks, or exploits in the past, it really cheapens the game and it's not that much fun to play when you remove the difficulty aspect. It's a game that's designed to be fun when played at the intended level of difficulty. People would play the easy mode and just get bored.

what the hell is with these people?
why does a game need an easy mode?
why does it matter?
why not just let games be for other people?

I was this close to drop Vagrant Story because I couldn't hit, let alone defeat the final boss until I built a halberd and a mace with insane reach and dark affinity and I found that a certain combination of buffs allowed me to survive its final, screen-filling "fuck you" attack.

No, it's a fucking reminder that you are not playing the game the way it's intended to be played. It's to try and keep these retards from playing on piss easy baby mode and then turning around and saying "Yeah the game was way too easy, everyone died in like one hit, kinda boring"

A gameplay video won't answer any of those questions.

Ask arcade games how well that worked out for them once they started getting emulated and ported allowing infinite continues.

It didn't, people just credit feed, play without thinking and complain how easy and mindless the games are while never going for 1cc's or scores.

Isn't it more respectful of players to assume they're all capable of overcoming the game's challenges?

Needs hard for non shitters, very hard for people who think theyve mastered the game that borders on unfair and impossible which is blatantly unfair and isn't designed to be beaten

>Some of the article is about disabled people and making games easier for them if they want to play it

Or they can choose to accept that a game is too hard for them and move on. Why would a game need to be made easier, worse, to satisfy a small minority?

Old generations = If it's easy, it's not worth doing
New generations = If it's hard, it's not worth doing

Sekiro isn't even that hard once you learn all the cheap tricks, you can spam firecrackers on so many bosses, use stealth sugars to cheap shot every boss. You can skip the first 2 phases of true monk.

But that requires learning, thinking and experimenting which is what these people desperately want to avoid while hiding behind talents like reflexes as if they matter much in a game like this

shut the fuck up boomer the last decent generation was the one that fought in WW2.

motherfucker quit acting dumb, a let's play or basic walkthrough will contain all of the answers you'd need if you're willing to spoil yourself. And if you're that worried about the story in a video game then you clearly don't care about spoilers.

Why would you need to watch all the way through? I have found that 5 minutes is plenty of time to make my mind up.

How does it feel knowing you will never unlock smash elite.

As I've already said, that doesn't cover many aspects of the game. If someone into looter shooters watched 5 minutes of Anthem they'd think it was a cool game where you played as Iron Man, not that it was a massive piece of shit.

Oh. I have no interest in garbage like that especially capeshit garbage. My system works for me though. I guess for casuals having reviews would be useful.

Fuck off Nazi.

>If someone into looter shooters watched 5 minutes of Anthem they'd think it was a cool game
You mean after they see all the loading screens?

Why do incels think "normals" as an insult?
Try having sex.

Doesn't chancing into money work pretty much the same regardless of skin tone or sexual orientation? Funny how identity politics became just one more tool in the divide and rule toolbox.

speaking ideally I see nothing wrong with that. It adds player choice. As long as it gives you a message saying you are not experiencing the core game, and you don't get the same achievements and trophies as someone that completed the game, and if them making an easy mode doesn't somehow have the design and philosophies of making it leak into the intended way to play. If all these are met, I can't see why anyone would be against an easy mode.

Or you could, you know, stop being shit

Keep making yourself look an idiot.

We should be encouraging people to get better. Doing the opposite is vaginal.

how about you respect the game you fucking casuals

How about this, ez mode. No achievements, no fluff dialog [spoilers] no cutscenes,no last 2 boss battles, no ending at all[/spoilers]

You can cheese certain bosses with a combination of divine confetti and firecrackers, or by keeping your distance and running around until you bait their one attack that leaves them vulnerable. The latter method takes longer and exposes shit players, but the point is there are always options, and if people are already speedrunning this game that means the bosses cam totally be learned.

>We should be encouraging people to get better.
By encouraging them to not play your game? The best way for someone to get better would be an easier version of the game. That's like saying the best way to learn calculus is to skip arithmetic entirely.

Most gamers don't think and just play FIFA and fortnite.

>and that some reviewers may have tastes inline with your own?
Yeah, but the only way you can confirm that is by meticulously trudging through each reviewer's article history.
And even then, it's a gamble because unless you're a naive retard, you know deep down a lot of vidya reviewers are in someone's pocket.
Or you could just watch 10-20 minutes of a video, which would give you a better impression than some literal who that may not have even played the fucking game.

>Every time you complete an area, the game gives you the maximum amount of currency possible and says "GOOD JOB!" three times before also giving you temporary invincibility that lasts until you beat the next boss
>If you fall off a ledge, the game will scoop you up Mario Kart style and drop you back onto the stage
>All normal consumables have infinite uses, timestop/invisibility consumables are on a cooldown (everything else has 0sec CD)
>Final boss is a QTE that takes about a full minute before you can fail it and the actual fight is done automatically by a programmed script to emulate you beating the final boss
>UI is adjusted to be extremely simplistic and shiny, as opposed to the mechanics-focused normal UI
>100% of achivements unlocked simultaneously, and they are timestamped as well, four achievements of which would require you to beat the game on its normal difficulty four times, each time selecting different options, so that the entire world knows you're a gigantic faggot just by looking at your cheevos

You know the funniest thing about articles like this? These games are not that hard. They can be challenging, no question about it but if you compare Sekiro to some ye olde video games it looks tame and very forgiving. Its so apparent that these people only play bottom of the barrell, big arrow showing me where to go cinematic experiences.

because the only excuse for saying "i dont want games to be difficult" is admitting youre a fucking loser who isnt capable of pressing buttons and getting a modicum of hand eye coordination
they would rather not admit their own incompetences so they instead scream about not sticking your dick in someone

>whaaaaa it's too hard mooooom

I don't know what you're saying but if you want to get better you've got to keep trying. It's the only way.

This. Sekiro is challenging but very fair. Despite that, it's got nothing on even some of the easier NES-era platformers. Megaman games are less forgiving than Sekiro. Sekiro is a walk in the park compared to Contra or Ninja Gaiden. Imagine one of these people playing Ghosts and Goblins. The worst part is that the industry is absolutely lousy with easy games. Simplistic, hand-holdy, baby-mode games are everywhere, in every genre. Along comes one game where the difficulty is an explicit part of the experience, where an "easy mode" or other adjustable difficulty would absolutely ruin the core design philosophy, and these gaylords can't take it.

what's the suicide attempt rate for trannies again?

for

He does have a point, I wish Sekiro had a VATS mode like Fallout.

It respects you in that there is NO difficulty option, that you can beat it at the default setting through perseverance and learning the game, asshole.

> but if you want to get better you've got to keep trying.
Again, that's like saying you can doing any difficult task by just trying over and over again.

>I don't know what you're saying
For example, you clearly can't read so you'd want to start with easier books before moving on to complicated texts. Bad players could just play other, easier games until they are ready but the best way of getting them to play difficult games is by releasing that same game but easier.

On the note of forgiving/punishing, I really don't get why a lot of these reviewers give Sekiro/other action games shit for basic checkpoint + money punishment when all of them praise roguelikes to hell and back.

Dodge spamming doesn't work in Sekiro for all moves, that's the thing. You need to adapt for multiple types of enemy / boss moves, just spamming dod to everything gets you fucked in the ass.

How hard is Sekiro really?

Nepotism.
Not just anyone gets to play video games as their job, it's a privilege of those with connections. You don't have to enjoy doing it, or even play video games at all. They get money not because they're good at their job.

At least he realised in the end that it's just not his type of game. Hell, I don't play NHL and expect Fifa, I wouldn't play Souls and expect Batman combat either.

It's hard to tell. I found it easier than the other souls games, but looking it from another perspective I can't think of bosses in any of the other games that required as many precise inputs as Sekiro. You can parry spam which works somewhat, same as roll spamming in the souls games. You can cheese the game with stealth, but you could also cheese the other games with magic, poise, and defense.
If you made it through one of the other souls games, you'll probably be fine here.

Not with video games. You learn from your mistakes by seeing where you fucked up and by not fucking up again or trying other ways. That's how I learned to get through all the Souls games and to solo 140s except for Zinogre. Putting in an ezmode in video games in vaginal. No one will even try to get better but just breeze through the game instead.

To be fair, I don’t have the amount of time to dedicate to that sort of thing anymore.

Miyazaki said he wants people to feel joy from persisting through his games, that's his vision for the games. Therefore asking for easy modes is against this developer's vision and is just intruding on what he wants.

There's also the fact that the no easy mode niche is something fans expect these days, it would be like asking coca cola to change their formula to be more like root beer - not wise.

This is how most clickbait articles start. Thinking this represents anyone but people who clicks is really dumb.

On PSN Profiles it's sitting at about 1.5 percent compared to other similar Souls games like it which have high as shit completion rates, probably due to no co-op. I fucking knew co-op and summoning inflated it. Don't feel as bad about being shit at it now considering I always try to beat them solo.

Why do they ALWAYS review FPS on console? Surely these review outlets have PCs? God forbid they do and they still use a fucking gamepad.

"respect its players" = "Respect the journos, chink or i'll give your game a 4/10."

The comparasion is not wrong. The difference is in what's passive or active engagement in a medium.
To passively engage a movie you just need to see the screen and hear the audio - this allows you to watch it till the end. To actively engage in the movie you have to process these stimuli, aka use your fucking brain.
Same with vidya - passive listen and watch, active use the brain and additionaly perform inputs.
Neither passive engagement will get you to the end. Sure, the movie might have finished, but since you didn't understand it you didn't actually watch it. And you might've seen all cutscenes in a game but you didn't play it.

Seek help, you degenerate stalker.

They don't actually know anything about games that aren't skyrim, most of them come from journo degree programs hosted in online colleges and it's the only thing they can actually write about professionally as the bar is so low.

now they can't summon so they want easy mode

you can just go watch a playthrough on youtube if you want to experience it without challenge

Naw faggot that is some dumb anecdotal faggotry you spouting right there. Vidya used to be aimed at a niche audience and has over time gotten more and more mainstream ,partially cause as time went on shit got easier to do since the coin op philosophy died as time went on, and cause of that the audience has for vidya has grown and grown to other demographics of which are not the niche ones that could in a way be said to initially started it all.

My point being that nothing has change. Those people you dislike have always existed. Just that before they did not play video games but now as over shit has been made easier and easier or at least adding in easy modes type of thing, like in mario 64 lets say where the game could be beaten without getting all the stars and the true difficulty actually being getting them all for instance is what im getting at in shit getting easier, the audience of video games hos not grow more casual or whatever but instead the casual vidya demographic have just been pandered to more and more since they make up a bigger more profitable source of cash that a group of people like you or me who could be said to actually enjoy a challenge in the stuff we play.

They would definitely try appealing to their resetera/twitter audience to organize a coordinated takedown and smear campaign on you, get your game pulled from sale, and otherwise try to ruin your personal and professional life.

No joke, prospective gamedevs who have committed wrongthink on Twitter before they decided to go pro have found themselves unable to find any sort of work in the actual industry because of blacklisting (remember how during and well after Gamergate they always talked about 'the block list'? Guess what else a list of people you don't like can be used for).The socjus insects infesting most of AAA gamedev, who basically have taken over entire studios/publishers all talk to each other and collude to keep people who don't explicitly follow their ideology out to the maximum extent their positions allow them to.

So really, going against game journos/devs with a public face is really not advisable especially if you plan on having any sort of professional future in either of those industries. It's probably why you haven't seen it done, that would be basically asking to be raided, doxxed, and harassed both online and in real life.

I remember the game overs and having to start all over again.

Stupid question: Why don't they just cheat? It's what they're asking for basically.

Na just tone down the autism

You're literally asking them to put in more effort into a job they already hate.

The real question is: Why the fuck does anyone care about game journos or even take them seriously? They're literally bottom of the barrel in their field.

They probably play on consoles.

The actual problem is that making a good fighter is hard work, and afterwards it will be hard to add following things: 1: Good tutorial modes that explain everything and let's you try out everything explaining why they are good. 2: A story mode that actually starts easier, teaching you only a few moves in the beginning and taking you in slowly honing your actual skills so you understand why that one guy kikced your ass online later.
But nobody wan't to do these, they would rather sell these games to waifufags and already fighting game people.

The thing about Sekiro is, it asks you to do -everything- in your grasp to win. And more often than not doing exactly that would be labelled cheesing in any other game, yet in Sekiro is almost mandatory.

>summon npc phantoms at pontiff
>scrub
>summon npc to fight Juzou
>survival of the fittest

>fighter
That's the problem fighting games are shit.

I think you don't understand the meaning of the word literally

What do you mean? And fighters are actually pretty good, it's just that it's hard to get into the hobby.

Guys like that is why games are dumbed down. Here's a good idea, just have like a rail shooter that exclusively uses one button quick time events. The campaign will be 1 hour long so nobody feels like it's too long.

Good seeing cuck souls clone fans suffer makes it great for me! in fact if they make a easy mod I'll buy it and play it only on easy mode to piss off Yea Forums LMFAO!

There's your easy mode.

These games don't demand natural skill but time to learn the specific tactic for a certain boss. A game which employs the skills a player has already amassed is much better than one with artificial padding. Souls games reward neets with no life

>game is labeled as hard
>buy game
>"WHY IS THIS GAME SO HARD?!?!?!?!"

Is this onions?

I don't like souls games, I've never like them. Tried multiple times and I just don't like how they feel. I've never demanded From to make a game for me and just play the shit I like instead. The fuck is so hard about that?

>The same reason you learn a song piece by piece instead of starting over every time you fuck up a note.

Good analogy, I do this sometimes with Cheat Engine.

>Playing Cave Story+
>Hell Mode
>Dying to Ballos in Phase 1
>Just practicing Phase 1 means having to go through the entire fucking level, and have to be careful to do it as perfectly as possible so you've got enough health to actually make an attempt
>Do all that, then die within 15seconds

In the end, I just said "Fuck it" and used Cheat Engine to give myself infinite health in the sections leading up to Ballos, so I could just race through them, turn the cheat off and actually just get attempts into the boss. Otherwise I'll sometimes do it just to eliminate pointless busywork. "You can farm hearts here to get back to full HP. There's no danger of dying or failing, but it'll take about 10minutes each time." Or... I could just use Cheat Engine to reset my HP back to full.

It's probably cheating, but since I beat all the actual content legitimately, I'm happy regardless.

These vermin just write as many "articles" as they can. They get paid by the quantity of articles and the amount of clicks they get.
Gavin McInnes talked about this once. He was once smeared by one of these SJWs who called him a nazi (he isn't and he gets very angry when people call him that), then a few weeks later he met that person at an event and that piece of shit when confronted told him that he doesn't even remember writing that article. He wrote 10 articles that day.
These gamer "journos" are the same but they don't really have a boogeyman to go after like the political SJW writers, so they resort to this level of lazy clickbait / ragebait.
At least when YouTubers do clickbait (for the most part) the content behind that is actually normal, even if it's different than what the title and thumbnail suggested. Gaming "journos" actually go all in with their retarded premises for the length of an entire "article". It's a weird mental gymnastic exercise for them, nothing more.
Never EVER give them clicks. If you really want to read it, put it through an archival site first.

Don' t cut yourself on that edge, you might need it for your wrists.

>Mfw people complain about Sekiro being impossible when games like Wizardry 4, Last Raven, and Natural Doctrine exist

Just because it's not the hardest game ever doesn't mean it's not really damn hard. A better example would have been the Ninja Gaiden series, some of them are fucking punishingly difficult, beatable by skilled and dedicated gamers, but absolutely inaccessible to casuals.

And for fucks sake, I don't know the other games, but Wizardry 4? That game wasn't just hard, it was insane, absolutely ridiculously masochistic.

And you know what? The developers regretted it. They've talked openly about how they made it super hard to court the hardcore market, but it tanked because the hardcore market is tiny. The game was a massive failure, few people played it and none of the rest of the series was like it, because it was ridiculous. How is that possibly a worthy example?

>Mfw people complain about Sekiro being inaccessible and obstuse when games like Dorf Fort, EYE, and The Last Remnant exist

Same thing. Just because other games are worse, doesn't mean it's not bad.

>Mfw Yea Forums literally uses a "don't you know there's children starving in Africa" argument

Attached: 1508761279956.jpg (260x273, 61K)

There is no game that is "too hard", everything can be learned if people REALLY want to.

This exact cancerous way of thinking is what ruined so many games because developers cater to casuals

You've effectively got three types of dodges in Sekiro and need to use each against specific types of attacks. It's rough.

except from literally memed itself into popularity making those "hard but not wizardy 4 hard" games

>Retard with 1 digit IQ buys game that is popularly known to be hard
OMFG ITS TOO HARD BUAAAAA PLZ PUT EZI MODE AHHH I WASTED MY MONEY LIKE A RETARD.
Why buy the game to begin with?

Why do you want to play them though? It's like playing golf and not liking the outdoors. I'm not paying to buy some shit like dwarf fortress and then complain about it being too autistic for me and then demand battle royal mode.

First, you have to get familiar with the term dilation. Then you set up an appointment with your surgeon, and you're on your way.

Why has nobody commented on the fact that he spelled the title of the game wrong?

entitled fucking losers

This is nothing new. Back before WoW became a glorified slotmachine this was the argument as well
>i pay to have access to the content! I REMAND RESTECP!!
So they introduced tourist mode in the form of LFR which basically killed any illusion of progress or mistery concerning the game because you knew everything. Turns out when people know everything they get bored and leave.

FUCK this guy

1. They paid money for the game
2. They want to like from’s new game

Another reminder

This.

I think some people need to learn to let go. Not every game is made for everyone, and that's okay. If you don't have the free time to get through a difficult game, then play another game. Don't distort the artistic vision; you wouldn't enjoy it anyway.

i don't think people who write those articles pay for those games

I know right? watch your self user you might kill yourself with that edge.

Would be 10/10, journos wouldn't be able to complete it and probably start crying

More like autism

Jesus dude, is that your best?

If you really think about it they want participation trophies and they're like the soccer moms who don't count goals.

Sure. I'm a big fan of single minded autism in games.

I did for a bit, but removed it for challenging parts. Like the 6 purple ninjas on the rooftops, jesus christ that was a pain.

More like they're a bunch of faggots whose job it is to churn out articles the nanosecond a game is a released, and they're personally frustrated that high difficulty is a ''hindrance'' that prevents them from doing that.

It also reminds them how much they suck ass.

But it's respecting its players exactly because it does not have an easy mode.
It trusts the player to learn the mechanics and get good. That's respect.

I don't need to try with Yea Forums LMFAO!

No, they just want to have an experience tailored to their needs. They don't think about games as being art, just as entertainment - so when they can't be entertained, they think something is wrong.

Its exactly this mindset that ruined world of warcraft and other great franchises. Gaming journalists serve no meaningful purpose and should get fucking fired and sent off to find a real job

In From's place, I'd add an easy mode that would intentionally be made insultingly easy. Where there's no way to fail. Where enemies borderline of WoW mannequins. And it also wouldn't have the endings. Nobody would be able to enjoy it and only thing they'd experience playing it would be the understanding that they're being made fun of in the most patronizing way.

Quite the opposite. Normalfags will buy a game because someone in the Metro or such gave it a good review. Neckbeards have the internet.

Nope LOL

Imagine being this disconnected from the real world. Why do you think websites like IGN are so big, when "neckbeards" realise they are incredibly shit at games and their opinions aren't worth shit?
Because normalfags eat that shit up. They don't even Read the review most of the time. They see 9/10 and buy the game.

What? But you go to the flashback at the START of the game. It's not even gated behind a boss or miniboss. How did you het rot before that? Not trying to be condescending, but I'm honestly a bit confused.

I didn't bother handing in the bells as soon as I got them and I died afterwards and rot started

Butterfree is you friend and hero.

he talks after last deathblow, of course there's no decapitation you donkey

That's precisely because he's playing Souls games all the time. If you try to do the same shit with hit-dodge in Sekiro of course you'll be killed. The game is about deflecting. When you understand that instead of attacking or dodging all you need to do is deflect, it's piss fucking easy.

no, most gamers dont think about this at all.
they accept if a game is too hard for them, and dont mind the implementation or lack of an easy mode either way.

most people really are pretty apathetic.

These "journo" companies are mostly burning through venture capital from Soros George and his type.
They're not profitable financially at all, they jsut spread opinions and propaganda, and these scm have definitely taken over the gaming "journo" scene too on purpose to spread their faggottry.

The gold balloons retroactively increase sen that's already on the ground. Kill a bunch of guys, pop the balloon, and run back through the area with an added sen bonus. This is why.

Obviously nobody does that. Everybody undestands how the game works.
But for both souls veterans and newbies this game is generally much harder. It's faster and deflecing/parrying is the main focus of the game.

No it's not. It's much easier than Bloodborne and Bloodborne was already miles easier than Souls.

Man how can you do that. The old lady begs you to help her. I immediately went back.

Yeah, you're full of shit. The games literally became harder with each release. And yes I beat them all multiple times. DeS is literally the easiest, and BB was the hardest. Sekiro is probably more difficult than BB, but haven't played NG+ yet.

If you only deflect and not attack, you're not going to have a good time. Bosses and enemies take at least twice as long to kill that way.

Fuck off liar.
I've finished the game and all parts all possible to beat.
