They should add an easy mode but there's no actual difficulty change whatsoever

there's no way to argue for easy mode without defending being shit and unable to adapt and that makes you a useless retard

Free DLC: Shadows Don't Die
And all it adds is a "Journalist Mode" which removes all enemies from the game, puts impassable barriers at the edge of every pit, and a huge PRESS X FOR NEXT CUTSCENE prompt squarely in the middle of the screen at all times.

"Is Sekiro easy mode the wrong way to go about reducing difficulty?"

The game already has a supremely easy mode, a mode which all games have available to players who can't get good enough, it's called watching an LP on youtube. Therefore the addition of an easy mode would be a step up in difficulty for the full blown casuals, and would make From more money.

They should have done april fools for difficulty. You could choose a difficulty level ,but they would all be the same

Why no outfits? I wanna play Shinbo Dress-Up

nice comeback Jacques

>gaming journalists
>somehow shitty at video games

What... what happened. I mean really, what transpired in society to hit this point. I'm really serious.

corruption and nepotism rule every aspect of society thanks to "capitalism" :)

There job is to literally play video games

stop writing like a faggot
also probably because writing takes a bit/they aren't given much time to try games at events/game devs want good reviews and bootlickers are pathetic in general/other shit i can't think of quickly

They should add fun while they're at it, too. The game sorely needs it .

There already is an easy mode. It's called your first playthrough. Your second playthrough is hard mode if you add the demon bell and do a no kuro charm run.

>that makes you a pretentious art-fag
literally not an argument

that was easier than my first playthrough

I thought about it after I posted that and you're right. Fuck man this game is really not as hard as people make it out to be.

I agree that Sekiro isn't necessarily difficult but it's extremely tedious.
After about 15-20 seconds of sparring, you already know what the boss can do in it's current phase,
The problem is that Wolf's input is simply atrocious.
When you try to run around, wolf will do a few retarded quicksteps first (why cant that be just tap instead of hold)and even stumble depending on the timing of the input.
While pressing L1 before the enemy hits, i still get hit, because i should've done it a fraction of a second earlier.
Even when you jump while walking it takes about 1,5 sec to actually hit the air.
This wouldn't be much of a problem if it intends to make you better but (mini) bosses have some of the most bizarre attack resets in any game when getting hit or approached.
They are designed to frustrate you, not teach you, that's up to yourself to adjust to failed programming.
I finished Sekiro and started up DS3 just as a reference and the controls feel incredibly fluid.
Sekiro wants you to make split second decisions but with so many contradictions it annoys you more than it teaches you.

It's not. but I still find it very fun and satisfying even after I "got good".

How about you have to unlock easy mode by beating the game?

I heard the Collector's Edition comes with an easy mode.

Charmed NG+ is pretty easy if you've collected beads and gourd seeds all game

Why is everyone whining about Sekiro's difficulty and going on about it needing an easy mode? I beat the game on NG+5 with a bunch of self imposed shit like the bell demon and no kuro's charm which is a big buff to the enemies.

Yet I cannot beat The Witness nor Obra Dinn and likely never will because I'm a brainlet but you never see Resetera or Kotaku mention those games. I feel people complaining just feel left out because Sekiro is the talk of the day and it got high review scores.

because hateclicks exist and journalists wouldn't get paid without them

Wouldn't it take resources? That's enough of an argument for me. I'd rather they dedicate their resources to polishing the baseline experience as they intended it to be.

Likewise. I love it a lot.

I don't think these people understand a lot of From's design decisions would lose it's appeal if the game is played on an easier difficulty. Finding a shortcut is a lot less interesting if the original route isn't in any way difficult.

It'd be funny if someone made a game that was real dramatic and intense on normal but the following things happen on easy:
>dialog is replaced with purposefully bad, lethargic voice acting
>npcs don't give a fuck about anything, even the impending end of their world
>cut scenes are pre-rendered
>enemies drunkenly trip and fall over each other, some piss their pants and surrender
>final boss' armor is made out of cardboard

Just take the weight out of everything just like how easy mode takes the weight out of gameplay to fuck with people. Would immediately out all journalists who play on easy.

Easy mode sounds awesome.

Placebo the journiggers? I like it.

Someone help me beat Gherman in BB. Plesseeeeeee

Just summon someone then.

>mfw NG+ makes it obvious that NG is just easy mode, because of Kuro's Charm

"Easy mode is not easy enough"

No, when they get easy mode added they'll write about how calling easy mode "easy mode" and "hard" mode just normal mode is discriminating hate speech, bigotry, and a violence against them.

not an argument

get good faggot

they should make 2 versions of the game. sekiro shadows die twice and sekiro easy edition.

I remember how well Resident Evil 4 did it.
Easy mode just straight cockblocked you out of a few areas.

at video games? no. i'd rather have sex

Lmao imagine being such a loser you have to devote so much time to getting laid that you can play video games.

Unless that LP did nothing but no-risk cheese strats on bosses a player would still have to get the fight mechanics down on their own.

can't*

Just shoot him you mongoloid, he's one of the easier endgame bosses anyway

They should make it so easy it's literally impossible to die, block off content, and mock the player endlessly.

There’s no legitimate way to argue against the death of people insisting for easy modes

Parry a lot. Some of his moves are easy to predict. I actually one shotted Gherman but Ebrietas and Papa G took me like 20 times each so you can do it!

Make an insanely easy "Easy mode" that is downright mocking. When you hover over the Easy option when starting a new game, the text blurb should say
>"A more cinematic and inclusive experience for western gamers who do not wish to challenge themselves or waste time learning how to play. Deactivates trophies."

>there's no legitimate way to argue against easy mode
It takes resources to do it well. If you don't have those resources it's better not to do it than halfass it. Even if you have the resources they would be better allocated elsewhere like adding a very hard mode.

You forgot the input buffering which kinda forces you to slowly tap R1, potentially slowing down R1 spam and fucking you for that reason. And the "stop dead" animation when you sprint in one direction then flick the stick over 180 degrees. Maybe it's realistic or whatever, but it's shit for gameplay, which is what matters. Working around it forces you to run in tiny circles when trying to bait attacks etc.

It's like they couldn't decide if they wanted to make a proper hack n slash or Dark Souls: Japan

Nononono. Easy mode with what you said, but the cutscenes are all DMCV live action ones. That sounds fucking amazing.

This sounds very fun.

Fuck the game for giving me two apes in one fight. One ape was tedious enough. This shit isn’t fun it just seems like work.

>"Easy Mode"
>exactly the same, but every death message is replaced with condescending baby talk
