To be honest, I don't really see anything wrong with the act of cheating to get past a part in a game that you are totally utterly stuck on, to see more of a game you like.
Writing a shitty clickbait article for your terrible website is a different story however

Why the hell should I care how someone plays a single player game they brought?

Why? I want more articles like these.

>they brought
uhm... you can only cheat on PC, user.

You can cheat if you can't git gud, but you don't have to be a fucking faggot and write articles about how much of a faggot who couldn't git gud you are.

I would enjoy is FromSoft made a "Review Mode" difficulty level where all enemies die in one hit, including bosses, and the player character is immune to all damage except. Just swerve into the "easy mode" but make it so easy that it ruins the fun.

The final fight is retarded and not having an idol between Geni and Isshin is retarded.

I didn't cheat, but I get why somebody would want to. The ending is antifun.

and you'd get called a faggot for beating the game with cheats back then too. they're for fucking around, they're not a substitute for playing the game

I'm fine with a person cheating in a single player game, whatever.
But I'm not fine with a fucking vidya """journalist""" doing it and making a fucking article about it as if his opinion on video games means dick.

Your mom wished you would eventually move out and be able to sustain yourself, but she gave up on you.

That would be pretty tasty.

And I should still care why?

summoning isshin is genichiro's final attack. I don't see why they'd squeeze an idol in between them in the middle of a fight for your casual ass

I don't want any Spam.

Should be called “cinematic mode”. PS4 exclusive since sonybros flock to that shit like flies

every time a kotaku article is posted here, even without the link, they are winning. you realize that, right? they don't even care about gaming, all they care about is agendas and money.

Attached: 1550468075950.jpg (900x900, 109K)

The final boss isn't even that hard. Owl (father) and Demon of rage are both more difficult.

Why do you need to see the rest of the game?

Why do you feel entitled to seeing the rest of the game?

I beat it user, save your c-words for the journos.

All I'm saying is a back to back fight is shit. And having to fight Genichiro every time you die just so you can learn Isshin's patterns is lazy padding.

>antifun

Maybe you need to git gud

I actually found a good and comprehensive summary of all the arguments for an easy mode for Sekiro on youtube
youtube.com/watch?v=NjkNNDuAb9A

They're disrespecting FROM Software for one.
And you'll be crying about it on Yea Forums the day they'll be pushed by the media to make their game casul friendly.

>a back to back fight is shit
according to who? what's your reasoning? stop whining you faggot
>learn
yeah you're a casual

Game journalists being embarrassingly bad at vidya will never, ever make From flinch.

I honestly thought this was the painting of the guy eating the animal. Is this... an edit or a chris-chan original?

Genichiro takes like 20 seconds to beat and Isshin's first phase isn't much harder, making this essentially a two phase fight. Just stop being garbage.

You know you're allowed to like things and admit they aren't perfect at the same time, gayboy.

kys zoomer
saturn eating his son

>j-just shut up and agree with me, don't make me form arguments
literally every attack has a wind-up and all unlockable attacks are indicated with a special sign. keep whining, casual

Why does Chris like big beefy straws? Is he a closet homo?

Fpbp
Zoomers? Nah Aiden, cheats are a Boomer thing. We created it and we never felt bad using them. Hell cheatcc is like 25 years old. Also, what is game genie and game shark?

Nah I still don't care

they were already strong armed into tutorial pop ups with Sekiro.

>The only decent developer left in the industry.
>Only developer respecting its players.
>"lol don't care".
Ok, edgy boy.

>explaining game mechanics is casual
come on now

>the game is all about learning animations and patterns to git gud
>"I think putting filler on a boss that slows down your ability to learn his animations and patterns is lazy"
>JUST GIT GUD WHY DO YOU NEED TO LEARN HIS PATTERNS I BEAT HIM FIRST TRY NO HITS
Turboautists like you that deflect any legitimate criticism about the game with your pathetic false-sense of accomplishment is why everyone else laughs at the Souls fanbase.

>only developer respecting it's players
did you fucking forget dark souls """remastered"""? fuck off dude

Because I paid $60 dollars for it? fuck off gatekeeping retard

>stuck on
>final boss

Literally just watch the ending cut-scene on youtube.

>Explaining game mechanics.
>Obnoxious pop up handholding you through every mechanic.
Old FROM game explained mechanics without the need to beat you over the head like a moron... just look at how they explain the lightning reversal TWICE, once FROM-style with an obscure lore pass, and then with an awkward pop up literally telling you: "LOL JUMP WHEN YOU SEE LIGHTNING!"

>legitimate criticism
where?
>all about learning animations
lol no. is it not true that you can block regular attacks? is it not true that the game warns you of any unlockable attacks?
can you PLEASE address this instead of sidestepping the argument?
I agree with that, they should've been optional. but the tutorials themselves were nice, I just with they were in a menu

What about it? FROM isn't responsible for Namco's fuckery anyway.

That remaster was outsourced though

>it's all the developer I swear
source? didn't realize namco had exclusive rights to dark souls and could do whatever they wanted with it. how did that happen?

Yikes, classic GAMER ENTITLEMENT.

which fromsoft was a-ok with, because they pocketed a juicy cut. it's their IP, they allowed it

That's the point though. You don't write an article about it, it's not worthy of journalism. The guy wrote it to feel good about himself because deep down he feels guilty.

dude, unless you have infinite money like R* game or whatever, you gotta roll with the punches.
FROM respects its players where it counts.

Does this contain the absolute worst parts of a pork that nobody wants to eat or something?

How do I unsubscribe from his faggot blog?

anyone got a good spot for farming pellets or is there any shop that sells infinite? I just ran out of them fighting the shitape, but trying to farm them was seriously tedious.

wow that's some serious backpedaling. is this trolling?

Farming sucks, mate. If you ran out of pellets, just roll with it.

click bait article but sword saint was the hardest boss and is the hardest soulsborne final boss so far, demon of hatred wasnt even that bad imo just hug his nuts. isshin is ridiculous with his pressure and posture regen means you have to keep your aggro up just as much

Attached: atrest.jpg (1251x1440, 45K)

>ran out of pellets
holy fuck how. just learn to play without them, they never should've been in the game to begin with

Yeah not sure why he didn't do that. I can understand some random boss in the middle because not all games are evenly good with good and bad parts and cheating to skip THAT part and then play the fun part. But if it is the final boss you aren't really skipping to anything.

If you just want to "see the game", watch some Let's Play on youtube you dumbfucks.
Same exact shit experience as the easy-mode that you want.

I never ended up using pellets. They never seemed useful so I ignored them.

>you have to keep your aggro up just as much
but that's the best part. you're fighting a god amongst men in his prime, it's supposed to be extremely intense and overwhelming
he's my fav fight in all FROM games just behind Ludwig

what a fucking faggot

chained ogre is harder than saint isshin

The diffculty with Demon of Hatred is that you're fighting a Dark Souls boss in Sekiro.

lmao what

But I thought the basement dwelling NEETs defend sekiro and it's the hard working people with lives who need easy mode

I guess just so he can say he "beat the game".

I think we can agree that summons would have made the game much better.

Can someone explain what all the shitting is about?
Wasn't it because sekiro was too difficult for many people? I really don't get why having an optional easy mode is a bad idea. If people don't like playing hard games then why don't let them play on easy? Many people just enjoy the world but don't care that much about gameplay.
I have never played sekiro, but I'm sure my GF would enjoy playing easy mode dark souls. But she really isn't good at hard games and it's not fun for her.

I use them whenever my health is too high to drink from the gourd but too low to tank a grab attack from an enemy. Plus I got accustomed to saving up gourd in the earlier areas which is why I used a lot of them

cuck

>all this obsession over difficulty
just don't play if it's too hard for you, how fucking hard can it be to not play a video game that isn't made for you

Yes, I wish my grandma could experience this game, as well.

twitter.com/dhindes/status/1114128588826009601

Why not just say he beat it without the hassle of cheating?

yeah it really is the best fight and is the most challenging too, the best final boss in years

beast bosses always suck in souls games but hatred is on the lower end imo, the only attack that annoyed me was when he tosses flames in front of him like pic related

Attached: pfSA3.gif (324x226, 1.99M)

So the devs can focus on an even play experience for everyone.

why would you save a resource that refills itself at checkpoints (which the game has too many of)? also, pellets heal more than gourd early game so what you're saying doesn't really add up

Defiled Amy is still the hardest "beast" boss in the series.

because flasks are generally much more useful in combat since they heal instantly.

because from made the game with a specific level of challenge in mind and they have no obligation to put work into something that isn't part of their vision. that the simple and correct answer, now shut the fuck up and go play something that made for your retarded ass

The tough gameplay is the world. What is so hard about that to understand? Do you rent horror movies and then skip the scary scenes?

Attached: 86f.jpg (247x204, 9K)

Why is there so much salt? Sekiro is actually pretty easy once you have the mechanics down. Is it because there aren't summons or grinding?

Wow, this is pitiful.

You'd be surprised how many people watch scary movies and cover their eyes or mute the volume during scary parts.

Attached: 1508711600461.jpg (737x621, 81K)

I don't understand how this is so hard to comprehend. I'm actually sure they understand it but are in denial about them being absolute shitters.

From did add an easy mode though.

Attached: 1499408651408.gif (275x324, 2.55M)

So what's stopping you from playing the game the way you want? It's not a lot of work to make an easy mode. Just double your damage output and double your health and you are good. Play the games on regular difficulty, but why cry so much about how other people enjoy their games? Do you also shit on mods because it's not the original vision?

because it's a decent challenge and encourages people to concentrate and learn a video game. people aren't used to that and their response is to eternally seethe

That's because i like horror movies, but i don't like hard games.
>Then don't play Sekiro.
But i want to play it, just at my own terms.

>you'd get called a faggot for beating the game with cheats back then too.
Wrong.
Nobody has ever cared about your single player autisms. All the other kids wanted to know your secret arcane cheat code spells you got from your game mag subscriptions though.

But why take it so personally? You're just dying in a game. It's just a game, there is no reason to be salty. The less afraid of dying you are the better you play anyways.

How is it backpedaling? You're blaming FROM over something they had little to no control over.
Namco pays the bills, so of course they have to concede some stuff, but in terms of game design (where it counts) they're literally the only ones still respecting players looking for a challenge, and not be cuddled into victory.

>All these PC players talking about how easy the game is proibably did the saem shit

AHEM.......FUCK PC FGAS AND IF YOU PLAYED SEKIRO ON PC YOURRE A SCRUB AND YOU BEATIN GTHE GAME DOESNT MATTER

>The less afraid of dying you are the better you play anyways.
Speak for yourself. My performance peaks when I'm under pressure.

did you not just read what I wrote?
>it's not a lot of work to make an easy mode
ok, so go tell fucking fromsoft that. why should they pander to you and go "oh alright since you asked"
go play pokemon or something
people think they have a right to finish whatever they pay for

I could give less of a fuck if you cheat.

You immediately become a faggot when you announce it to the world that you cheated though, like it's supposed to be a mark of honor now or something.

>little to no control over
source? please provide it
also yes, they respect you as a player. but not as a consumer

Not to mention the prosthetics, they make a lot of boss fights easy

>Do you also shit on mods because it isn't the original vision
the devs aren't making the mods you absolute fucking retard holy shit. I don't give a fuck if you download an easy mode mod, but expecting it to be in the base game is called entitlement

I guess to each their own. My performance is the best when I am irrationally confident and don't care what happens.

Firecrackers need to be nerfed. Umbrella too.

I like the using spear but it isn't broken.

thats fucking retarded just play the game and get better at it if you wanna play it if you dont why would you play it

>PC is easy mode because it doesn't run the game at 25 fps like the PS4

>Source
That's just how the business world works, what do you want me to get you lawyer's papers?
And btw we were talking about game design, but you had to throw it over to the usual "but they want money for their product!".
even in that department, FROM is better than most, all their DLC were amazing, and no microtransactions even when working under Activision's boot.
You can't deny that, on a design level, they're (basically) the only developers left, in a sea of shit.

Fpbp, no one cares if you cheat or play on easy, but fuck you for being a whiny cunt about it.

I agree about the firecrackers, but is the umbrella that good? I barely used it.

Because i *kind* of enjoy it, but not enough to spend an hour learning a single boss.
Not that hard to understand.

>enemy does a thrust attack
>press dodge for counter
>have a cup of tea and relax since it is almost impossible to miss the counter window and no other inputs are needed

no, we were talking about developers in general. that means the games and everything involved. and no, they're not the only devs left, but they're one of the few that I actually like. I'll agree with that, they make fucking good games and they're not scum
that doesn't mean I like them as businessmen, and you should NOT either. you're a consumer, money. never forget that

Because it might boost sales? Because there are more people who could play it? Because you would lose not a single thing by including it?
Other question, why do you care so much about how other people play their game?
Where did I claim the devs make mods? And I never demanded or expected it to be in the game. If they don't want to include it, that fine by me. I'm just less likely to buy it because I can't play it with my GF.
Saying I'm entitled because I would like an easy mode is like saying you are entitled because you wanted Fallout 76 to be a good game. The devs clearly made a shitty game. If you want to play a good game just buy something else and fuck off.

get better at the game or you are missing the point if you dont like it dont play it

>fighting Snake eyes.
>Grab prompt comes up.
>Just pop the Umbrella and become immortal.
Feels nice.

I mean SS is the only decently hard boss in the game. Its still wrong to cheat id rather he watched the end on youtube etc. Its not as bad as other journos who im almost certain got filtered by Grandma/Gen 2.

Huge deflect window so you can follow up with huge vit and posture damage if you have the right skills.

youtube.com/watch?v=s-spCmpsLXk

>Because it might boost sales
FROM has some level of integrity, they make games they want to make. nobody cares about you or your demands, either mod it in yourself or shut the fuck up
wanting an easy mode is fine, whatever. demanding an explanation and whining is pathetic. they don't want to do it, no matter how little work. they want people to face challenge, that's it

Vergil Dante was better but seething Sekiro retards who don't play both will come at my throat. This is SoS/DMD implied though DH Vergil is alittle too jobby.

I'm not watching a 4min vid by literally who, fuck off. timestamp and valid sources

wow, is your brain is stuck on a rhetorical loop or something? Getting better at the game is inevitable as you play more, but getting good enough to beat certain bosses takes more time.
I enjoy the game, but not enough to invest that much time into it.
>"Then don't play it at all!"
Why? I didn't say i don't enjoy it at all, otherwise of course i wouldn't play it.

Because as a journo the fucking bare minimum he can do (even if he's too retarded to play without cheat) is at least to finish hiq playthrough and see how the games unfold to the end. It's his fucking job, even if he's shit at it.

Because difficulty is part of the vision the entire game is based on. Struggling, dying, trial and error is all important part of the experience along with the overall atmosphere and art direction. These things make the series unique. If you can go through the whole game extremely easily then you experience an entirely different game than what the devs had in mind. Respect the developers for their vision. if you want an easy mode just use cheats, don't force them to appeal to you.
You should be grateful there are still devs who value authenticity and integrity instead of selling out for the big numbers. Not a single big western dev have the balls to release a difficult game or even just leave autosave out of their games for example. its all about mass appeal.

then you can fuck off, fag

not him, but what are you expecting? you aren't very good, so you need time. but you don't have time, which means the game isn't for you. how is this hard to understand?

you are the one who refuses to get better at a video game so you have to cry for someone to lower the bar just for you lol.

I don't see anything worng with what they did.
They make a product, you're supposed to pay for it.
the Remaster was out sourced, and they were probably forced by Namco to release it (because Namco has proven themselves to be scum multiple times).
So in your view they should've just said fuck it all and stopped everything, just out of principle of one remaster being somewhat subpar? right when Sekiro was being developed, and they needed cash?

kill yourself, shill your shit channel somewhere else. I don't use youtube vids by ecelebs when I look for valid sources you underage retard

>probably forced
pure speculation. I don't believe this at all, nobody is clean in that business

lmao, being this mad

>u mad
wow. no you

>you aren't very good, so you need time. but you don't have time, which means the game isn't for you. how is this hard to understand?
I don't have a problem with the game being the way it is desu, when i've had enough i'll stop and move on to something else, or use a cheat code and get past a boss i'm finding annoying, but an easy mode would just save me some trouble.
I don't know what you're imagining, but i'm not all that invested in the plot to the point where i'm seething just because i can't see the next thing in the game.
I just don't think the "difficulty is the point" is that strong of an argument, because i beat all of the soulsborne games legit, and the difficulty was never a paoint of interest for me, just an annoyance in the way (for the most part, some bosses were fun i'll admit).
there were some bosses, like Fume Knight, that took me 20+ tries, but at the end i didn't feel amazing for having overcome an obstacle, i felt like an asshole because i could've done so much with that time instead.
So i really don't get it, when people talk about overcoming massive hurdles, in a game.

>I don't have a problem with the game
>use a cheat code and get past a boss i'm finding annoying
uh huh. whatever you say man, not gonna read the rest of your post
