>Celeste released January 2018 and gained widespread praise for its challenging gameplay and emotional storytelling. Critics singled out the game’s Assist Mode in particular for its myriad of helpful accessibility options. Celeste is a hardcore platformer in the vein of Super Meat Boy, but players can choose to reduce the game’s overall speed, gain infinite stamina, become invincible, and more. The idea behind the mode is to allow less-skilled players, or those with physical disabilities, to enjoy the game in whatever way suits them. By contrast, Sekiro is tuned to a single, steep difficulty. Performing well requires a high-degree of reflexive skills and precision.
>One of those players is Matt Thorson, the creator of Celeste. As reported by PSGamesN, he took to Twitter to express that while he was loving his time with Sekiro, the game could stand to be a bit more inviting. His thread presents a list of possible options to feature in a hypothetical Assist Mode. Suggestions include reducing the combat speed and infinite Posture (i.e. the player’s guard). Later in the thread he suggests that this mode only be accessible from the main menu, per save file.
>Despite making a seemingly fair assessment, that hasn’t stopped many of the FromSoftware faithful from lambasting Thorson’s ideas as “game breaking.” Some say that the tough difficulty is what defines a FromSoftware experience - that the very presence of Assist options would ruin the entire game. Conversely, plenty of players and critics have joined Thorson’s rallying cry for accessibility options. Their main argument is that Sekiro’s alluring world and combat should be more attainable to those who neither possess the time nor physical ability to master its brutal challenge.

It is gamebreaking;The first time i saw an headless i shat my pants not only because of the presentation ,but for the treath it presented.If the game was not as hard and punishing much of the expirience would just fly over your head , and then you see comments like "eh it was ok"
The more I learn Sword Saint the less I like this fight >first phase Ichimonji is relatively easy to dodge >second phase Ichimonji tracks you so hard that dodging the first blow almost guarantees being punished by the second >sometimes Mikiri just decides it doesn't want to work and Wolf dodges right past Isshin, which gets punished by the backswing of the lance >third phase double-leap turns off lock-on if you're too close because fuck you
>“game breaking.” >recomending that you get infinite posture which the games combat is centered around somehow isn't actually game breaking

Isaiah Gray
advertising is against the rules post pastebin or fuck off
Landon Smith
Matt's a retard for thinking that's how they could add an Assist Mode to Sekiro, BUT Celeste and Sekiro are different games and Celeste having Assist Mode made it even better than it already was. It was completely optional, you never heard of it if you didn't want to use it, and if you did use it your save file was permanently tainted with its icon, even if you only used it for like five seconds.
That's nice and all, but in this case he's 100% correct.
Kevin Watson
Miyazaki already addressed this retarded shit

>durrrr stop making the game you want to make and make MY game instead!!!!!!!!!! Celeste should include a mode where all the enemies are blacks and you have to shoot all of them because I say so, I paid for the game and it should stop gating me.
How would that help a disabled amputee complete the game? Those just sound like slightly helpful improvements for people who are already able to play the game fully.
Charles Ross
Better question, how much did Sekiro made campared to Celeste, so I can see how much I shouldn't care.

Joseph Gray
For a game about a literal amputee, he sure isn't very considerate of the differently abled. He seems to think that It's just a skill thing.
Nathan Davis
I really don't get this shit guys.. If they really wanted to play it why don't they just get a fucking trainer and turn infinte health on???????
Aaron Powell
It's funny coming from him, since Celeste level design is amazing and actually really fucking hard on the B-sides. Even the base levels are pretty challenging. So I think he understands the appeal of harsh difficulty.
Blake Sullivan
Who cares? I'm giving actually relevant input. Trannies can keep cutting up their dick for all I care. Quadriplegics can beat it already anyways, no further assistance is needed.
Brayden Anderson
He also spoke towards how having multiple modes would fragment the community and change the experience of the game for people. Having one consistent mode puts everyone on the same level of discussion and actually keeps the community alive, especially from how many people discuss boss strats. An easy mode would invite a ton of people who coasted through the game that are just there to be a part of the Big New Thing and just want the trendy points for being a part of it.
holy shit, some faggot makes one decently reviewed platformer game and he thinks that gives him the right to dictate how others make their games. the fucking audacity. the hubris. the utter privilege.
So is Sekiro actually that hard or is this just the average bitchfit from game journos? Crash N. Sane Trilogy was called insanely hard by journalists when it was released. Is this around that level of difficulty or what? I've never played FromSoftware's games, if you can't tell already.
Dominic Williams
It’s not even that hard once you get past Genichiro.
Fuck this cunt. He allowed players who used Assist mode to still earn trophies/achievements in Celeste, and by doing so completely undermined the accomplishment of those who did it the proper way.
Brody Williams
The thought just occurred to me that they’re trying to beat Sekiro using bullshit politics since it’s all they know.
They wouldn’t play it even if an easy mode was added because the addition of an easy difficulty would mean they already won.
Dylan Evans
One exceptional quadriplegic managed it. It is definitely not the norm and he did it DESPITE the games discriminatory design choices.
Oliver Ross
The whole bullshit about 'accessibility' and 'muh disabilities' is just a smokescreen to conceal the fact that game journalists are simply notoriously terrible at video games. They're literally just using the disabled as an excuse to push dumbing things down to their level.
Can you fly in Celeste's assisted mode? Because that is how extreme these Sekiro ideas are, they break the game entirely. Bosses can only do 2-3 attacks at best if you had infinite posture.
Literally should just add back in old school cheat codes like God Mode so people can just finish the game without any satisfaction
Jacob Martinez
The fragmented community thing doesn't seem that relevant to what the easy mode cunts are whining about. They HAVE been saying however "dur if it doesnt affect you what do you care BIGOT that's not what games are about" but Miyazaki is straight up saying that "get good" is literally the entire fucking point of the game and part of his vision.
Jeremiah Ortiz
they didn't put an easy mode because they don't want it to have one, they could have easily implemented an easy mode with a reverse bell demon but they didn't
Aiden Wood
Yeah I was kinda surprised to hear it had assist mode since I never experienced it when I played it. Did it help people find secrets too? I worked pretty fucking hard to do all my acrobatic stamina management bullshit and dashing wallkicks and boosts to get where I did.

Assist Mode in Celeste helped with platforming and timing. It let you slow down the overall game speed, give yourself infinite dashes, as well as infinite stamina and invincibility. All of these things could be customized, and you didn't have to have all of them on at once.
Luke Nelson
It's only really hard if you try to dodgefest it like Dark Souls.

dumb esl poster. do you need an easy mode for posting on Yea Forums too, sweetie? :^)
I mean, its racism. no one argued or claimed cuphead needs easymode. It is always the time when something weird from Japanese side is becoming a big thing in anglosphere media and western journalists cannot ignore it is somehow a trend like monster hunter world did.
Actually what triggered them is not "muh what do you think about disability" but "fuck off this elitist mentality sticking with these nonsensical eastern action games".
most of players do not care whether it needs easy mode or not because they are just going to trade it if they realize it is not made for them, which is super natural, and has been always like that.
Sebastian Price
Except he has a baller ninja arm that let's him be more awesome than able bodied people.
Imagine going through the entire game, going through all of the bosses and stories, honing your skills throughout everything, only to cheat your way through the final boss. What a fucking disgrace.
Angel Cooper
Demons was something most people didn't give a shit about. You even just admitted pretty much. It wasn't until DS1 came out that people (Read: Journalist) started their love/hate relationship with From.

Cameron Gomez
I dont know anything about the creator but Celeste was a great game and im gonna play it again once the "Super hard DLC" comes out

>I mean, its racism. no one argued or claimed cuphead needs easymode.
Wrong. Sterling literally made a video making fun of people over people complimenting Cuphead's difficulty.

Sekiro difficulty is fine. It’s not demotivating when you die. You want to try harder. And there are checkpoints everywhere.
If you want it easy, watch someone else play it.
Caleb Nguyen
The challenge is integral to the combat and ruining the balance destroys that as well as removes all tension and danger from the world, making it an entirely different, poorer experience. Stop calling it "accessibility" and "inclusion", it is neither.
Angel Martinez
>infinite stamina >run fast as fuck >blocks absorb 100% of 99% of attacks >can rez up to 3 times
This game is already easy mode as soon as you stop trying to play it like a Souls game. The only exception is the final boss.

Shame that videogame powerups aren't real then I guess. What a stupid, demeaning thing for you to say.

Jacob Rogers
Not everything has to be accessible to everyone. The game was made to be a challenge, if they can't overcome it then it's their problem. If a quadriplegic can do it, there's no reason the average gamer can't unless they simply don't apply themselves.
Hunter Green
I dont understand why this needs a easy mode? It's already pretty easy Literally just spam LB and that deflects every attack. Then all you need to do is jump sweeps and counter thrusts
Making a game where you jump and dash across things hard is ironically incredibly fucking easy.
Josiah Brown
They literally just buffed the enemy HP and posture at the last minute since playtesters and "influencers" were saying it was too easy and they have a reputation to uphold. The chained ogre is probably the best example, he was piss easy in the pre-release build and got his posture buffed to help and back right before release.
They applied the buffs evenly(+X amount of HP/posture) which is why early bosses seem to have too much HP and posture while later bosses don't since the buff amount is only a small amount relatively to their original values.
Go watch The Game Awards 2018. The Celeste devs were there and they came up to stage when their game won an award. I nearly vomited my meal when I saw them.
Blake Garcia
but the thing is, the difficulty of cuphead did not make this fuss as much as sekiro triggered western journalists. most of them know and are eventually going to admit that games are not inherently for everyone --- but not in this case, why?
Chase Bennett
>Why do consolefags defend this? They hate everything you personally enjoy. They're out to get you.
Joshua Price
That certainly is a better solution than whining for weeks on the internet.
Parker Reyes
Stop arguing with these cretins. They win by convincing you to argue with them about whether or not there should be an easy mode, because there aren’t many strong arguments against an easy mode. But the only argument you need is this: from doesn’t want to put an easy mode into their games and you can just not buy the game if you don’t like that.
Tyler Rogers
I probably avoided it because it might effect unlocks and the like. I usually stick to the default difficulty unless a game puts 'normal' or 'the way its meant to be played' a step above default
I dont get how people can do this and feel accomplished or like they've overcome anything. Not every game has to be balls to the wall hard, but I enjoy challenge. You know when you have a game where you level up, or you can buy powerups or perma upgrades, and this next upgrade will be something really op like 'doubles your health and lets it regenerate' or something that trivializes things. I avoid that shit, I never overlevel because I dont want to walk around one shotting shit and not getting a proper experience. It boggles my mind how people can be like this.
I've looked matt up on twitter before and he didnt look like a tranny. I did read a bunch of progressive bs in his feed, but I respect that he kept most of that out his game. Celeste is legit my favorite Switch game. Have sank hundreds of hours
But difficulty options in games are older than Doom (which also had a lot)
What's wrong with consolefags that they can't handle customization like difficulty options?
Jackson Jones
The game is easy after ng+ because you already know how to fight the bosses
Lincoln Martinez

>cheese the last phase of demon of hatred with malcontent stunlock and confetti >feel like complete shit about it >there are people who want the entire game to be that easy
No, the stupid thing to say is that because a game includes a man with his arm cut off it should be more accessible, developer intent and theming be damned.
David Parker
>omfug Doom is so casual for having 5 difficulty options
What the fuck is your point? That it wasn't critically acclaimed because it doesn't have a literal 99/100 metascore?

Connor White
>When you get to see this fags article every time you go to launch the game
I dunno if it was criticized for it, but Crash N. Sane Trilogy also suffers from being too easy. The bosses in the latter two games are piss-easy and overall the games decline in difficulty as you continue. It sucks because they had many opportunities to amp up the bosses a bit but didn't.
Landon Jones
Doom isn't either, you're thinking of Wolfenstein, consolefag
I don't understand how the fuck anyone could argue for this. If you clearly don't care about the gameplay a youtube video is more than good enough.
Kevin Foster

Remember that time when they only had one difficulty for Doom because its how they wanted their game to be experienced but then added 4 other difficulty modes because they decided to kowtow to trannies and faggots? That was so based dude

Jack Cook
>developers don't put in cheat codes because why not sell power ups for real money instead >now journos want cheats and charging money for them would be "racist" Looks like those fat trannies saved video games
That's not how dictate is used in that context. Dictate as a synonym for speak is like dictating a letter to someone (note it keeps the inference of superiority/instruction). Using "dictate" in the sentence "right to dictate how others make their games" is absolutely the same as saying Instruct/Command/etc
Imagine putting this much effort into getting EASY MODES added to video games and not getting shit that actually matters, like, I don't know, more bosses, more areas, a more fleshed out story, better animations, more weapons / combat styles, less DLC? Fuck these losers and everything about them, they are horrible and they clearly don't give a shit about video games.

I've got some sympathy for journalists, in the sense that, like QA, when it becomes a job it's a whole lot less fun. When you're not playing a game for enjoyment, but for a living, and you're on a deadline, having to actually sit down and learn it probably doesn't appeal as much.
I still don't think journalists in this industry are worth fucking anything, but I have some small sympathy for their situation.
Nathaniel Collins
Only on here is that the case.
Dominic Thomas
The thing is that Souls previously had easy mode called summoning. They made Sekiro 10 times as hard as Souls with no way to make the game easier. Not like I give a fuck, I platinum'd it yesterday. It should stay as it is.
Ryder Murphy
There’s no need for me to even acknowledge that faggot counter argument you just presented. Fromsoft didn’t want to put an easy mode in so they didn’t. Other developers did want easy modes in their games, so they put them in. Deal with it, retard.

Look it up yourself, I don't want to link a game journalism site, but it's one of the better articles on the internet about this whole ordeal.
Honestly can't imagine playing a platformer for anything other than the fun of conquering it's various platforming CHALLENGES. Invincibility, Infinite stamina, reduced speed? Seriously? What's the fucking point then?
It's more the media desperately prop up any politically correct devs who regurgitate their opinions. The dev gets free promo and media get their opinion validated. It's why you see that neoliberal shit bag Rami everywhere.
Jaxson Hall
Having played all the Souls games and BB makes me the spoken-of "soulsfag" that people mock in Sekiro threads. As it is I tend to not be amazing at parrying to begin with. I found Sekiro harder than any souls game for that reason.
Or so I would have said about a week ago. Genichiro pretty much forced me to git at least moderately gud at the mechanics and separate it from playing Souls to an extent. I say to an extent because some bosses can still be fought like Souls bosses, and I had considerably less trouble with those. And while I still died plenty, I found the game less cumbersome afterwards. And then I beat the game, and left with a sense of accomplishment for it.
And that's the issue with many single-player games now days. They just want to hold your hand and try and impress you purely with visuals and 'good' story telling. But instead of manning up and bettering your ability to get through, they want everything to hold your hand and gently guide you through. Sure some games have difficulty levels but those are usually poorly done.
I don't think Sekiro needs an 'easy' mode, much less a god mode, which is what this sounds more like. Not every game is for everyone, and devs shouldn't be made to adapt their games to fit as many audiences as possible. That not getting into this 'appease minorities' shit, which is just a smokescreen anyway. Just go play something else.
I think the Steam library redesign coming this summer is cutting out the """"news""""feed, thank god.

This is like their sixth game with this type of gameplay that has a higher skill ceiling than other AAA titles and it's essentially the reason why they're popular at all anyway and these whiney babies think that From software would actually listen to and take on this criticism.

They're mostly just mad because no one goes to them for info on these games except to laugh at them. They're too afraid to be honest and admit they don't like the games because the Internet says they're good and they're too lazy to put in the effort to actually have something worthwhile to say. They might as well jump the gun and say all from software games are covert white supremacist symbols so they can pretend to be morally superior since they suck at everything else

I remember seeing this as an argument against procgen, I think specifically for metroidvanias. Having a specific room or encounter or platforming section that is memorable or that you're stuck on or whatever, is something the community can come together on, discuss and relate with. If you procedurally generate the rooms and encounters and challenges, all that disappears. It also changes the quality of the game depending on RNG.
Same here, if easy mode was as in OP then it would be a terrible game using some of those options, and you wouldn't be able to relate to people playing it normally. criticizing a boss he has not beaten as if he has any idea how it works or played the same piece of content as the rest of the playerbase, is a fucking disgrace.
Alexander Johnson
red eyes means red lump eaters
Jonathan Gonzalez
Because you're posting mindless shooters, where the fun/enjoyment of the game was in the action and the spectacle (and before game design was solidified, Wolfenstein had a fucking score and lives system!).
Sekiro is a completely different kind of game. You could post a million games with difficulty modes, it wouldn't change the point being made.
Kevin Anderson
That's normal mode, dumbass.
Ryder Murphy
So it wasn't a deep design decision, it was a last minute buff. They made the game harder in one quick fell swoop with a buff to all enemies, they couls jist as easily do the opposite for an easy mode.
Joshua Rogers
>there are "people" out there who don't find celeste's and shadow warrior 2's easy mode text insultingly patronizing
Basically, putting in those kind of options is the easy way out.
You spend all this time balancing your game and making a difficulty curve that works well, so that players will face harder and harder challenges, get better at them, and feel rewarded for completing them, but despite the work there are some people who will buy your game and just not fucking care enough to even try. Putting those options in is a way to make it so that idiot feels included, doesn't feel cheated out of whatever they spent, and doesn't leave bad reviews or talk shit on social media. Bonus: you get to pretend like "infinite dashes" is something people with disabilities need to beat your game, so that you have a high horse to ride.
I say this as someone who actually loved Celeste. Legitimately one of my favorite games of 2018, and I think it was incredibly polished and challenging. But the inclusion of those options always rubbed me the wrong way.
Colton Moore
Now do it the way the game was intended to be played, without Kuro's Charm.
it should be called crybaby mode given how much wailing all these professional video gamers give off
Isaiah King
Because it's a facetious asinine question in the first place.
Nolan Martinez
the only change sekiro needs is to shorten the activation time on some of the prosthetic tools or at least grant more poise on startup.
Nathan Howard
Because the content of the game is overcoming its difficulty. It's been said in every thread. Adding easier difficulties is akin to cut content in other games. Is it so hard to understand?
>unavoidable spoilers about the final boss That's just fucked up. Not only did he ruin it for himself but others too.

Now do it again, but this time, get the dickhead ending. Your reward is probably the coolest move in the game. Note that I did not say best move in the game.
Jason Lewis
yes, it took me like two days to fully forget what i learn from soul and adapt to Sekiro playstyle. after that, everything is good, i manage to beat the game, even when a lot of bosses made me felt i will never finish the game. doing a no charm, bell run now. pretty fun NG+ experience, it litteraly made you feel like a SL1 run, with all the cool stuff still useable.

Gavin Gutierrez
Sekiro is a lot of dying to learn patterns, then when you know patterns by heart it becomes manageable, so it is like a 3D metroidvania in that regard.
Ethan Cooper
And that would ruin the balance and intended experience, far more than making it more challenging would as it's specifically stated to be so, if I choose to take your claims at their word.

Tyler Butler
I suppose it's cool that the creator of Celeste has suggestions for an Easy Mode for Sekiro. It's also cool that PC "trainers" exist that allow you to create your own Easy Mode on the PC version. But having an official Easy Mode will boil down to if FromSoftware wishes to implement one or not. And considering their history of games I'm guessing not. And that's cool too: it's their final choice to decide on how people can consume their media.
That said we need to drop this topic/conversation. The only reason why the video game journalists are chasing after this "story" so much is because it's getting them tons of page views while at the bonus benefit of being able to act like they care about disabled people. The sooner we ignore it all the better.
I just suggest typing Sekiro trainer into google, why bother fromsoft with something someone else already solved for you.

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.
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. 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. 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'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 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 actually had more trouble with Maria on my first playthrough than with Ludwig, who I beat within a few tries.
Dylan Rivera

Jonathan Taylor
The pandering shit needs to stop. The "won't someone think of the [insert disadvantaged group here]!" garbage only serves to do the exact opposite that people like you are trying to virtue signal for. Most disabled people simply want to live their fucking life instead of assholes like you trying to grandstand for them.
Instead of trying to defend them when you do that, you debase them even more by pointing out the glaringly obvious truth in their life when they didn't even ask for it.
Humans are resilient creatures who can figure out a method to work around all kinds of fucked up shit life can possibly throw at them. A slightly more difficult and 'inaccessible' video game doesn't even tickle a prick on the Richter scale for that.
People need to grow up and learn that life is inherently unfair. You need to deal with it however you can. Literally, learn to fucking cope.
Thomas Rodriguez
>Find Seven Spears guy >He wrecks me for a couple hours >Finally kill him >Many hours of gameplay later >Find another of the Seven Spears with a samurai >Backstab his friend, destroy Seven Spears #2 guy because of my knowledge from the first fight, that was improved with the hours of playing the game
That's what the game is truly all about, the story is secondary. If the Celeste homo wants to ruin his game to make it easy he can, but leave Sekiro out of it.

Statistics is not on your side on this one, though.
I never said to not help others cope. Where there's a will, there's a way.

Why can't devs just make the games they want, not everything should be dumbed down for mass appeal if they don't want to do that. Shit like Celestes assist mode completely gimps the experience and removes a lot of the satisfaction from overcoming challenge if used, at that point you should just watch somebody play.
James Clark
>For a game about a literal amputee, he sure isn't very considerate of the differently abled. He seems to think that It's just a skill thing. Why do you think disabled people want to babied? If any of these whores truly were selfless in letting disabled people play the game they would be advocating for more alternative controllers and more controller types being compatible as well options to remap the controls to make it easier to have a comfortable set up. Actual disabled people want to play the EXACT SAME GAME as everyone else not a special treatment version. They want a FromSoft game to kick their shit in not suck their dick. Maybe the journobloggers should just admit that they want an easy mode because they suck at the game and don't want to get good.

It's a win win. The loli mode would be unlockable after beating the game legit for those who don't want to play baby mode but do want to play as a loli.

If these people really wanted to improve accessibility for the physically disabled they'd be promoting research into controllers for physically disabled so that they can play the exact same game as the fully abled. A physical disability doesn't prevent you from learning and mechanics of a game and developing winning strategies. A physical disability merely limits your ability to use the controller, which makes implementing winning strategies difficult because they are fighting against the controller more than the fully abled players. Obviously the solution to this problem isn't to change the game, but the controller. A better controller designed specifically for their disability would allow them to play on the same level as the fully abled.

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.

They already know about it. One of them even wrote an article bragging about how he beat the game by cheating.
They don't care about the ability to cheat they want developer-sanctioned cheating in a form that they didn't have to admit it's cheating by calling it an assist or easy mode and pretend that they're being progressive and making games more accessible
Jackson Gomez
Oops, sorry game journos and your Twitter cocksuckers, you already told me that video games are art, and an artist should never compromise their vision for the sake of people complaining.

Ian Lee
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? 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

For games that journobloggers love its balls easy since its giving ol' Dobson a bike pump and attaching it to the enemy's health bar, damage dealt and hitscan accuracy For a FromSoft title to be accurately transcribed to an easier difficulty without being a slackjawed homo about it would require(this is going off what the journobloggers and gay boy in OPs article go on about) >Full and total rebalancing of the enemies themselves, not just from a coding aspect but from a animation and possibly even model aspect depending on how much more obvious they'll need to make the animations. Animations are absolutely being modified. >The player's animations also need to be modified >A number of attacks and potential attack patterns need to be adjusted and/or removed and ONLY if that difficulty is selected. God help you if you fuck that part up. >Textures may need to be modified to make certain things stand out more >Level design and enemy placement need to adjusted >Sound cues will need to be adjusted as well >Also certain context related triggers like say the kanji need to have their windows adjusted I think the easiest way to put it is the following.

Anyone remember that interview when Miyazaki stated that the Souls fights were designed to be interesting, and being difficult was a natural consequence of it? It's why DkS2 failed in design when the new director missed the point and made the fights hard without being fun.
Imagine investing hundreds of hours into the development of a boss; testing every mechanic, balancing it for every potential approach, making sure that the fight feels difficult without being unfair - only to be told by a group of people that aren't your core audience that you should invalidate all that effort.
The request for an easier mode in itself isn't a problem; what is is that they're being worded as demands that outright ignore the director's intent with disabled people being exploited to guilt the devs into feeling like terrible people for excluding them. Accessibility is great, but it's ultimately their game, their vision, and their choice.
Forcing a change to cater to those that reject the idea of effort reaping rewards is the very definition of entitlement, it's like buying a puzzle and getting upset that it isn't a completed picture.
Mason Phillips
yes and all the people part of the niche group that enjoys fighting games are just retards who enjoy shit games.
There are different audiences out there retard, and a game isn't better merely because it panders to the biggest one. Fighting games are widely considered to be the pinnacle of mechanical design and competitive gameplay. That kind of game just isn't for everyone though, so they sell really shitty these days when so many other more casual options are available for the masses of casuals.
Nicholas Harris
>haha Yea Forums are u blown off?
I don't know how you reddit posters come up with such mirror logic. The fact (if at all) they install an easy mode just makes it all the more hilarious some grown ass faggot is going to have to play on it because he can't get good. Don't you fucking losers get it? You'll never get better if you don't fucking challenge yourself. All they're doing is literally handicapping themselves. A physically limited person finished it without this easy pasta meme.
Nathan Cruz
I would too. It'd be neat but the point is that the amount of effort required to account for a PROPER easy mode that would be fitting of FromSoft's name and not some lazily done shit you'd lose out on dev time for more content in the finished game OR lose out on time that could be better spent developing DLC.
Kayden Price
>because I can't play it with my GF. Well for one Sekiro is not co-op, and second you do realize the point of these games is the difficulty right? According to your earlier post, you have beaten all the games so just play through the games as her summon numb nuts, and if even then it is too difficult then fuck off it's not for her and thats all there is to it.
Thomas Sanchez
To me it is even more than that. Yes being on easy mode would take away from the fun, but it also lessens the impact of the world, lore, and story. Especially in Sekiro. Other games highlighted death as common and everything as a struggle, but sekiro is focused on the burden of immortality and rebirth and power. If you just played babbies first action game difficulty the gravity of the story is lost because you aren't killing your npcs by abusing immortality. You need to experience that difficulty in the gameplay for the story to land.
Charles Miller
>Accessibility is great, but it's ultimately their game, their vision, and their choice this isn't even an argument about accessibility. improving accessibility entails improving peripherals i.e. controllers so that the disabled can play the same fully featured game with the full depth of gameplay as the fully physically abled.
Owen Roberts
Literally no one would play or care about Sekiro or the Souls games if they weren't so "hard". If they change it, the dumb cucks whining about it wouldn't even want to play anymore because the novelty and charm would be gone.
William Harris
If a game is too hard for you, maybe it just wasn't made with your demographic in mind
Nathan Diaz
Do you not watch Stanley Kubrick movies because a tranny did the music for 2 of them?
Carter Hill
Why dont these people just load up a trainer or something if they just want to breeze through the game? That is basically what they're asking for.
I love and hate god hand's dynamic difficulty. On one hand it feels awesome when you're in the zone and sitting in level die 90% of the time. On the other it can be annoying if I die and am kicked back down. I want to overcome the challenge not be forced to play easy mode for a minute or 2 as I dodge my way back to hard mode.
Jaxon Davis
Because by not including it in the base game the devs are purposefully trying to discriminate against shitters.
Jordan Peterson
>The idea behind the mode is to allow less-skilled players, or those with physical disabilities, to enjoy the game in whatever way suits them I absolutely love that the people who are awful at video games have started using disabled people as their excuse
>If they change it, the dumb cucks whining about it wouldn't even want to play anymore because the novelty and charm would be gone.
user these retarded cunts don't want to play it for "novelty and charm" they want to be SEEN playing it because it's the hottest thing right now. It's the hottest thing because they've developed a large following by making games with notorious difficulty as a design staple. Take that inherent difficulty away, the fanbase goes away. The fanbase goes away, the next game won't be hot property. The next game isn't hot property, these retarded cunts won't even pretend to be interested in it like they are now.
Xavier James
It's only outing them as the scum they are. If they really cared about disabled people(they don't) they would be advocating for more unique controllers and cusomizable controls. Not a baby mode.
It's not about an easy mode. These creatures don't even fucking care about the game. They just want people that have told them "no" to be brought in line and obey.
Evan Hall
So how much of Celeste's appeal from journos was because it had an easy mode?

Eli Peterson
based and accurate but on the topic of sekiro, this is what it feels like once you get good. Sekiro is hard to pick up but very easy to master.
Jack Sanchez
>Sekiro is 2deeep4u. FROMfags should be castrated.
Adrian Roberts
This. If I was a disabled person I'd be pretty fucking pissed at these neon-haired arrogant faggots making baby noises at me saying they'd get a nice casual mode for me like they're doing right now. Shit like more controller options, audio/video settings, re-mappable controls, etc. are actual accessibility options. Easy mode is being so fucking condescending and devaluing it's insulting. Hope some cunt in a wheelchair rolls up and blasts them away with a shotgun while they sip on their soilattes
Caleb Edwards
This is the worst "Souls" game to make that argument since its the easiest and lets people cheat in several ways to make the game even easier already.
Every boss is a 1-2-3 dance battle, many of them skippable and allows you to cheat by backstabbing them or throwing pocketsand to distract them. Not even mentioning that many of the bosses have a scripted weakness, like shields on headless or the spear on Ape Guardian that turns them into a cake walk on replaying.
Parker Peterson
not interested but i hope it continues to work out for you
Jaxson Flores
>The idea behind the mode is to allow less-skilled players, or those with physical disabilities, to enjoy the game Did someone post that video of the guy with a physical disability beating a boss yet?
Kayden Morgan
pic related retard, 2-3 were trannies and the rest dykes or nu-males, i can't find a video with the voice of the trannies for some reasons.
>Their main argument is that Sekiro’s alluring world and combat should be more attainable to those who neither possess the time nor physical ability to master its brutal challenge. The game is not for them then, as that has already been considered. This discussion is so fucking dumb, only to bring attention to the trannies of the industry.
Luis Gutierrez
>Because i *kind* of enjoy it, but not enough to spend an hour learning a single boss. Then you don't enjoy it, play something else. I don't care if an easy mode exists, but people like you acting like playing on that difficulty wouldn't be as pointless as paying $60 to watch all the cutscenes on Youtube saddens me.
They admit that they don't know how to play and are not having fun, so why are they playing in the first place?

Why do we keep having these threads? this argument and outcry happens with every Soulsborne game. FromSoft doesn't care. They'll never add in "accessibility options" or any type of easy mode. If you can't hack it you don't play the game. It's always been this way and always will be because, again, FromSoft gives no shits about difficulty whiners.
99% of these niggers don't give a single fuck about people with disabilities, they just want to be able to say that they "beat" the newest hottest hippest le epic hardcore game that everybody is going crazy over. I bet an actual downsie could play better than a majority of these faggots.
The only reason that it gained traction was twitch. It would have been another sleeper hit, had it not been the perfect stream game.
Aaron Baker
cheat codes are good for fucking around
Jayden Jenkins
Do you think these whiners would want this "easy mode" if it disabled all trophies but a single one that says you beat the game on easy mode? I feel like they wouldn't.
Sebastian Hughes
I had someone in the last thread tell me I was the problem for "basing my ego on video games" and getting mad at this bullshit.
I think it was the author from PCGaymer
Camden Collins
You guys are really dumb. A new easy mode wouldn't even hurt you since you can still play on regular difficulty. You're just a bunch of elitist that won't share their videogames because that's the only thing you have in life.
If you have a life then why do you care if you can't beat a video game? If you're not that concerned about beating it then leave it at that instead of demanding the entire experience revolve around your life. Exclusivity exists for a reason. Why the hell are you jealous of a bunch of nerds?
Asher Young
The thing is, the only people gate keeping are the people pushing for easy mode. NO SINGLE PERSON is saying they can't play the game. They absolutely can. Whether they're good or not is a different topic entirely and is no where close to gate keeping.
Blake Perry
Just download fucking cheat engine or something
Or is that also too hard
Ayden Ramirez
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.
Isshin doesn't even have that much health, you just need to get hits in early to fill his posture faster. Once you learn him it's so easy, first time I got him to phase 3 I beat him because of how easy it is to do a lightning reversal.
Kayden Garcia
Where can I download cheat engine on my PS4?
Zachary Murphy
the soundtrack in this game is pretty awful, and no, I'm not saying this because it's made by a tranny
Joseph Wilson
>I enjoy the game, but not enough to invest that much time into it. This is like someone that likes the progression aspect of RPGs complaining that MMOs take too much time. There are other games that play similarly but aren't designed around it taking time to figure out how to fight each enemy. Play those.
James Collins
>>"Then don't play it at all!" >Why? Because you suck dick and you'd rather whine on the internet instead of gitting gud
Gabriel Baker
Nerds can still play the game on regular like I and you did, and those who want can play on easy. That means absolutely nothing change for you, more people play the game, and fromsoftware makes more money to finance future games.
I'm not, I finished the game already. I just thibk it's shit to not include everyone. Maybe there's a grandpa over there that want to play the game but his reaction time is complete shit. Maybe there's a dude who has only one arm, and he'd prefer the game a bit slower.
Stop being a bunch of cunts and share. I know it makes you feel good to say you're one of the few that finished the game, but it's actually pretty sad.
Ayden Ward
I never understood this idea that these games need an easy mode. If you remove the challenge, there is literally no point in playing the game. It does not have an amazing story or characters. Exploration becomes even more pointless than it already is. You would just be sleepwalking through a boring world and get nothing from it.
Christopher Hernandez
dodging to side and hitting him 2-3 times is much better for getting his health down before working on his posture. Alternatively, you can dodge and Ichomonji double him for more posture damage instead of deflecting it
Carson Lewis
>Maybe there's a dude who has only one arm, and he'd prefer the game a bit slower. that guy's name? Sekiro
Austin Hall
Good point, that reminds me that Dark souls indeed had an easy mode. But honestly I'd like it better if summoning was not a thing in dark souls, so I'm glad that shit is gone in sekiro
Andrew Watson
>possess the time This is the worse excuse yet. Why do people need to rush through games and complete them asap.
Jason Gomez
Why should someone who wants to make a hard game spend any time making it inclusive when that's not their goal? Give one single good reason that a luxary hobby item needs to focus on inclusivity.
Benjamin Howard
So what you're saying is that you fucking suck. Mikiri works 100% of the time.
>That means absolutely nothing change for you I didn't say it did, dipshit. >those who want can play on easy I said people who would do this are fucking stupid and wasted their money. Why the fuck would they buy a game designed to be hard, and demand it be made easy? Why the fuck would you buy a car designed to be comfortable, and demand the seats be taken out? Why the fuck would you buy a house designed to look cozy, and demand all the walls be replaced with bare concrete? I don't care if an easy mode gets added, the people that want it are fucking retarded either way.
good thing From will never read what they have to say or care about it at all.
Brayden Johnson

Fun game, but not interested in replaying because itemization is not great, exploration isn't rewarded (oh you found this cool secret location? here's a consumable you can buy for 30 yen. oh, you finished a long ass questline where you had to figure shit out? here's a consumable that heals you once)
Also, no weapon variety is a massive pain in the ass and a lot of the prosthetics are useless
Carson White
So they can inject themselves into the topic since its the hot new thing. For many of them it may take months to beat, can't be talking about it and bragging about how great you are if everyone else has moved on. It's not even about the game, its about attention.

Why do they need to play fucking Sekiro of all games?

>Can't parry >Complains about muh build variety No, that's a DaS2 shitter.

It told them its ok to play on god mode and not accomplish anything on your own merit. So, you know, sucking them off and giving them participation trophies. They love that since they aren't expected to put in effort.
Jackson King
user, Journies don't give a fuck about easy mode or people who can't enjoy games
They just want to fucking win irl and bully devs on twitter
Grayson Peterson
the game has 0 references to sexuality you're just getting triggered because a person working on the OST happens to be trans and we know she wasn't hired because of that, since the soundtrack turned out actually great you're as pathetic and deluded as the sjws saying anything Yea Forums related is nazi and must be eradicated
How about you stop being a an absolute cunt and expecting every single game to cater to the the lowest common denominator with shit skills.
Making games for everyone means making games for no one. Not every game needs to accommodate people with shit reaction times, sorry that's just the way it is. There are people with spacial reasoning that are complete shit but you don't see anybody demanding an easy mode from puzzle games like The Witness now do you. From soft games are literally marketed by their difficulty so your little "easy mode=more sales" theory is complete bullshit.
I know it makes you feel good to jerk yourself off to "muh inclusivity" but the fact that you seriously need an easy mode to play a game that's already not all that difficult is fucking sad.
Sebastian Flores

Jaxson Garcia
Wow THE celeste creator? Im glad the creator of the super meatboy ripoff nobody heard of put those dirty From chinks in their place in regards to easy mode

Chase Martinez
Why? Why are they so obsessed with an easy mode for this game?

This shit is just free advertising at this point hope journos are happy because it means they'll make the next one even harder
Because its the hot new thing. Then the next hot new thing comes out and they fuck off to talk about that. Just give it a month and they'll fuck off like always.
Isaac Edwards
how does it feel to be on the wrong side of history? next souls game will have "assist mode" or "easy mode". The trannies are just too powerful
What's with soulsborne players and their obsession with trannies? Were they molested by trannies?
John Murphy
I'm not necessarily against the idea of accommodating invalids like game jurnos, they got money to burn too, but I fucking hate all the dipshits that suggest high-scope features as solutions to difficulty. "Just have a switch that slows the game down, bro." The QA pass alone would be an absolute fucking nightmare. You would think an accomplished game designer would have a clue as to how games are made.
Sebastian Peterson
Sekiro wants the player to play a certain way and it's really generous with power ups and items in order to compensate in case you have difficoulties in doing what the game wants you to do, but you still won't be able to win/will take hours and dozens of deaths at each boss if you refuse to do what the game wants.
Grayson Clark

These posts are purely made by the creator of celeste, over and over again.
why do you peabrains keep replying to them, they don't care about Sekiro they are just advertising their game on Yea Forums and you're bumping it to 500 replies.

But you do have that. You can ignore your posture meter entirely, most enemies can't drain it if you deflect properly and even if they do they have no follow up. Maybe Isshin forces you to manage it a bit and that's just jumping back and holding L1 for 3 secs.

FROMsoft have been making games for about as long as the literal who faggot has been alive, the absolute spastic. Why does every peer group need to have a 'thing' and why have the trannies and their ilk decided theirs is vidya
It's literally the same guy who spams the Epic vs Steam threads, and the Obsidian vs Larian threads before that. Seriously, just compare the way all of these threads are written.
Austin Gutierrez
pol was right
Sebastian Bennett
No. I'm running around old areas trying to search for shit that I have missed between every major story boss which extends my playtime threefold. I'm at the point where I'm supposed to go find Kuro in the secret passage way. Just killed demon of hatred. I can't for the life of me find the last two beads for the tenth necklace and the last remaining gourd seed for tenth sippy.
I've occasionally asked for help on these threads but I've intentionally stayed away from wikis and walkthroughs.
Itagaki's comments weren't evil. He was completely in the right
Parker Evans
I'm guessing you never did the second memory. You cant get those beads now.
Benjamin Johnson
If a 9 year old kid can enjoy something her Dad calls difficult, then an adult shouldn't be complaining that Sekiro could be more inviting. I will garentee you that in a few months we'll be seeing someone use DDR pads to beat Sekiro, and it will once again prove that an armless person could beat the game but still not be accessible enough for people how make jobs of gaming. Fucking embarrassing.
What second memory? I feel like I was pretty thorough and never found anything like that.
Kevin Evans
He was both. That evil grin as he says "So I made it harder" was great. Besides being evil doesn't mean you can't also be in the right.
Eli Turner
Unfortunately you've missed the window for it, but if you eavesdrop on Kuro after beating Owl you unlock a new questline which involves visiting a second memory.
>I want to "play" videogames with assist mode, invincibility and shit >I want to "play" a song with pre registered music while I randomly move my hands near the instrumet those are the same thing and you know it
Luke Martinez
Just play a different game, not everything has to be for you.
I bet you can't beat the game on a DDR pad either, poser. The people advocating for accessibility are often not doing so on their own account, but in a general sense.
Adrian Thomas
He's talking about Outward
Mason Cooper
Oh, sorry.
Christian Bennett
>implying Yea Forums isn't an advertiser-friendly board
>Their main argument is that Sekiro’s alluring world and combat should be more attainable to those who neither possess the time nor physical ability to master its brutal challenge. Just git gud.
Because that was never said when people whined that Dark Souls needs to be "more accessible". Then its proven it is unneeded. This isn't for anyone but themselves, be it because they can't be bothered or because they want to feel virtuous about their daily lives and opinions. This has been the case for years now and this is simply another chapter in the same lame ass story of talking heads being nothing more then that.
Blake Jenkins
>Then its proven it is unneeded. If one person doesn't need it that doesn't mean no one needs it. This is a classical American confirmation bias. You see one person who beats the odds and therefore you think it's reasonable to demand everyone else beat the odds too. That's not how odds work.
Noah Allen
>beats the odds The game is there and you can keep trying against "The odds" until you win.
Kevin Morris
Didn't a quadraplegic beat sekiro? If he can beat it anyone can. What ever happened to rising to the challenge?
Aiden Bailey
Right, and for some people this is a lot more difficult than for others, so it presents a much greater time investment, which is an unfair demand to place on them.
Jason Reed
>Beating the odds Thats a great DRAMATIC way to put it. Dark Souls and Sekiro: Just as challenging as surviving cancer! Not everything has to be for you. Not everything has to be for everyone. Somethings in life require skill, and if you don't have that skill we live in this great time where you can be a spectator to others who do. The great thing about skill too, is that it can be grown, nurtured, and cultured with time if you are willing to dedicate the time to it. Accessibility implies making it some those who are INCAPABLE of playing it, can play, but if someone doesn't want to devote the time necessary then that is their decision. This has never been an accessibility issue though, because the argument has always come with the second half, "or have enough time" but unless you are on deaths door, then its not a matter of not having enough time, but not wanting to put the time in because everyone has some free time. One hour a day, even if it takes two years, is enough to beat Sekiro, but you have to want to put that time in. These people don't want to put that time it.
Isaiah Martinez
Reminder only pussy niggas play games on easy mode.
Julian Allen
Yes, some people don't want to devote two years of their lives to beating Sekiro. They are definitely the unreasonable ones.
Dylan Foster
life is unfair Some people can run 2 miles in 8 minutes while most cant. Some people can pick up a guitar and learn it in a day while others cant. Why do video games have to be different?
Jacob Brooks
Then they shouldnt play sekiro. Simple as that. Not every game needs to cater to them.
I did it after you talk to him, but I'm not sure it matters. You need to hide from him, and there are multiple dialogues which requires resting multiple times. You also have to talk to Emma after eavesdropping to properly start the quest chain.
Luis Diaz
And some people read slower or have to watch a movie more times to fully grasp it. Either they feel like putting in the time or they don't.
Gabriel Thomas

>life is unfair That's not an argument against making things fairer.
