Why are gamers so butthurt about journalists finishing this game with cheats or wanting disabled people to be able to finish it? Just seems like wanting to keep games a sekrit club when they haven't been for ages.
At least we have a popular copypasta to mock them.
Wow user, I guess you were the real shadow all along....

The american strain isn't just hispanic, it's an exquisite mix of negro, hispanic, native, jew and legend has it, once a spark of european. Fear the mutt blood.

Lincoln Ward
>Just seems like wanting to keep games a sekrit club when they haven't been for ages. You nailed it.
Gavin Turner
Some user is going to recognize this as his bedroom and freak.
Jaxson Watson
The issue isnt that he cheated to finish a game, the issue was writing about it when it was your job to try to at least come up with something more meaningful to write instead of garbage clickbait.
Wyatt Gray
From games are really. 80% of people who play games stick around FIFA, CoD, and Fortnite. An autistic 10% stray to uncharted, resident evil and bethesda. Then in that final 10% you have From games, strategy games and miniclip. It's nothing to be proud and it's sad people act like it is but it still stands that by the tkme you're playing a souls game you are off the social reservation.
Jaxson Adams
Well luckily user he also wrote a guide on how to play the game. He forgot the include cheat at the end of the game but he must have forgot.
Dylan Powell
The problem is that no one actually read the article, because why the fuck would you. Anyone who did knows its a sad piece about justifying why you cheated because they suck at the game and pretended he had to in order to beat it rather than just learning how to get better. No one should really care about what people do to play a single player game. It is completely ruining what its all about, but whatever. I'd rather have them cheating than begging for an easy mode
Juan Rodriguez
>wanting disabled people to be able to finish it?
Stop co-opting and appropriating disabled people just because you're so shit at the game. Plenty of disabled people have been able to finish the game.
Christopher Thomas
He did it to make a point: an easy mode would be fine and From should implement one if they care about accessibility.
Thomas Morales

Luke Parker
Saying you cheated to beat the game doesnt mean an easy mode is a good idea. If you have to cheat to beat it, you're probably not who they're selling to
Noah Young
This. Two days i was playing i had a raging migraine and it makes you play like absolute trash but even then it just makes it a long case of memorizing movesets rather than quick reacting. It made it such that even though i knew owl was easy it took me hours but still possible.
To genuinely not be capable you'd have to have such a level of disability that you aren't going to be playing a from game anyway. You'll be playing train simulator and pressing your face to the screen to watch the wheels.
Adrian King
>If you have to cheat to beat it, you're probably not who they're selling to >muh treehouse
Ryan Clark
Asking for an easy mode in FromSoft games is like asking for rainbows, lollipops and pink ponies in The Last of Us or guns and demons in Gone Home. You're not the audience and you're asking for shit that is tonally out of place.
Juan Long
No, its called a target audience. People who act like theyre superior to others for being good at these games are retarded, but FROM makes games for the people who want to see them through
Oliver Wood
>You cheated not only the game, but yourself.
>You didn't grow. >You didn't improve. >You took a shortcut and gained nothing.
>You experienced a hollow victory. Nothing was risked and nothing was gained.

Gamer cringe in a nutshell.
And the people who DON'T want the gaming community to be defined by this are the bad guys.
Isaac Johnson
>every game has to appeal to everyone
You’re the reason why niche titles are almost dead on console
Kayden Kelly
Are you the only other black guy here or is there more
Grayson White
False equivalence. Gone Home is inclusive, From games are exclusive.
Austin Brooks
Gone Home is exclusive because it excludes people who want nothing but action in their games. Just like how FromSoft excludes people who want an easy game.
Connor Jenkins
Because they wouldn't hold other games like RTS ones to the same expectation. They want to force FromSoft to be more generic in terms of accessibility rather than purely focusing on 1 difficulty mode like the 80s/90s games that inspired it. All so that they can mindlessly speed through the game rather than savour each new environment they manage to progress to through in the exhilaration of a hard won victory.
The even more alarming problem is that these are the very journalists who are scoring the game critically and thus affecting sales numbers. How dare they review a game in a genre they clearly have no knowledge and experience of?
Landon Mitchell
>inclusivity bad, journo man bad Go back to KotakuInAction
Jordan Johnson
>The even more alarming problem is that these are the very journalists who are scoring the game critically and thus affecting sales numbers That's because Yea Forums won't ignore them.
David Ward
easymode would be detrimental to the experience because when it is present player's struggle can lead to switching to lower difficulty instead of the struggle coming into fruition in the form of prevailing. by suggesting easymode you support frustration -> shame, dissapointment emotion cycle for video games.
Thomas Edwards
You don't have an actual argument there, just semantics. Try again.
Grayson Perez
Also "inclusivity" isn't just something they can freely add without reducing dev attention from something else. These people are hard workers, it's not like they have loads of wasted dev time that could easily be used on such things.
This mindset is severe entitlement. You don't respect devs purely focusing on their target market, you don't respect that not all games or genres will appeal to everyone without being compromised in some fashion. You don't respect expertise in dev focus, or gamer skill.
Jayden Gutierrez
Contrary to certain people's beliefs, videogames don't have to be for everyone
Ayden Long
Game kournos should just have sex instead of doing these incel whines on twitter
Juan Nelson
literal quadriplegics can beat the game without cheats or easy mode yet somehow Yea Forums and game journalists cant
Miyazaki knows that a large part of the appeal is the shared, comparable challenge. You can talk about the game and its bosses knowing everyone playing has the exact same task. There are countless games with genuinely hard hard modes but people don't talk about them the same as you don't know if other people faced the same and beyond that it's artificial challenge when other options are there. Fine for personal selection but nullifies online discussion.
I died more in later stages of uncharted 4 on hard than most of sekiro, why aren't we all discussing how to beat the ship graveyard?
Nolan Peterson
But i paid! Just as if i pay to enter a half marathon someone should give me a segway.
David Green
Funny, two days ago I was playing Sekiro to keep awake while suffering a concussion. Had a similar experience as you but with Demon of Hatred.
Hudson Flores
>gamers dont have to be your audience! gamers are over! fuck gamers! >n-nooo games have to be for everyone, where's my easy mode!
Fuck accessibility and fuck you. When did Yea Forums become a bunch of pussies?
Benjamin Powell
It's not about keeping GAMES a secret club. It's about keeping A GAME a secret club.
Casuals already have thousands of shitty movie games they can play whenever they want. Stop ruining the genres that are difficult for people who enjoy challenge.

At the end of the day, these articles really were based and redpilled all along. I think that's the saddest irony.
Wonder how many devs quit on the dream bosses in hollow knight or even got that far
But of course that game isn't mainstream like Sekiro so they wouldn't bitch about it, it's only ever mainstream games
Bentley White

>wanting to keep games a sekrit club >Sekiro help threads on the internet hate machine Anyone can git gud. Disabled people have to git gud all their lives for the simplest things, is pressing buttons at the right time more difficult than getting up a flight of stairs or brushing their teeth? It's pretty condescending to think cripples can't git gud.

Reminder that this has nothing to do with true "accessibility" and there is no such thing as being excluded from a game so do not fall for the attempt at smokescreening and recontextualing to make it sound morally just and stop using those words to describe it. No, losing at a game doesn't exclude you from it, you alone are the one choosing poorly in one way or another.
Cooper Cooper
It's just a self-defeating left wing mindset that subjectivity rules. Someone may want sekiro to be easier but what if my enjoyment is for a game with only a hard mode? Saying you want something isn't an argument, it's just saying "i like!"
There's every financial, artistic and communal reason to keep From games a consistent hard challenge. There's just "i like easy" the other way.
Gavin Johnson
There's nothing wrong with using cheats if that's your thing. I did it as a kid and had fun; now I like to focus on a single game and master it more than play an endless stream of stuff.
The problem is they're clearly framing this stuff as part of the 'culture war' bullshit they stirred, by implying that From Software not adding easy modes to their games means they're disrespectful to disabled people - which is like saying that authors of books with difficult narratives of writing styles should write "simple english" versions of their stuff, or else they secretly hate disabled people. We've come to the point where corporate shills trying to control people's artistic freedoms through shame is considered a 'leftist' stance by useful idiots. Instead of complaining to their bosses that the deadlines imposed upon them are bullshit and not suitable for reviewing difficult games, they scream at devs and players instead while using disabled people as a shield.
All this coming from a disabled subhuman who identifies as a leftist. Imagine if the energy they spent on this stupid bullshit was dedicated to organizing and helping poor people.
game journalists just want an excuse for being shit at games >games need an easy mode! >n-not for me, it's for the cripples, yeah... then when they see someone who is disabled beating the game >w-well of course he's going to beat it because he has so much time to waste >my time is valuable, unlike that cripple, i dont have all day to spend playing video games! it's not like it's my job to play video games!
Landon Johnson
But Sekiro is a multiplat, you're thinking of Bloodborne.
Brayden Thomas
>if they care about accessibility. luckly they dont and never have so faggits like you and the journey libfags can go fuck each other
Wyatt Cox
Balancing games around several difficulty modes is a fucking hassle and doesn't always pan out. Sometimes devs don't want to budge on their intended design. And accessibility doesn't mean adding an easy mode. There's literally nothing wrong with adding features like colorblind modes or rebindable keys etc. Nobody is opposed to that.
Remember the "skip gameplay" button scribblers were pleading for a few years ago? This is the extension of that. They don't want to do their fucking jobs.
They'll just always draw on some hypothetical victim. The thing is even finding a real one isn't a comprehensive argument. Unless they found that a substantial amount of From's target audience could not complete it despite developer intention that they would then they don't have an argument
Jayden Cooper
see I'm a leftist and I think there's absolutely nothing wrong with people making the games they like - if anything the idea that everything needs to be for everyone to make as much money as possible is a pro-corporate stance. There's no real end to the 'accessibility' talk - you could easily take it to its logical conclusion and say that an armless person can't play these games, thus there should be an autopilot mode - like an arcade demo mode except it plays through the whole game. Why not just watch Youtube longplays?
The thing is, this is hipster idiot leftism. The real problem here is that it's their job to finish and review games FAST and get the quickest review out. Harder games make this impossible But they're so 'leftist' and brave they won't dare question their corporate overlords about deadlines that get in the way of insightful writing.
Gavin Evans
How can you review game that you can't beat? That's like reviewing movie you didn't watch, or dish you didn't finished.
Adam Morales
No one should give a shit about your opinion on videogames if you can't even beat some fucking boss properly if your income depended on it.
Nathan Brooks
Yeah i use left wing as a lazy term. Sometimes equitism is a more fitting name, which is a part of a wider cultural movement of anti-westernism or anti-white. Political terms are usually terrible but so long as we roughly know what we all mean.
Carson Gonzalez
>if they care about accessibility. They clearly don't, so fuck off retard And it ain't hurting the sales either.
Nathaniel Foster
>tfw read about PC users moding the game to slow combat down so they can avoid perilous attacks and deflect attacks
Holy shit I didn't think these kinds of people actually existed. They have to mod the game to make it SLOWER so they can keep up with disabled people playing at normal speed
What is accessibility? There's no barrier to buying the game but the money to afford it. It's not denuvo'd so there's no barrier to modding if that's what you want to do.
Connor Foster
Im happy to see there are intelligent people in america still. This board became 99% shit in the last few years. American leftists ruined your culture bros.
Chase Jones
Good leftism would mean people being able to create what they're passionate about and not having to worry about appealing to everyone or else they go bankrupt. So the opposite of this 'ableism' shaming nonsense.
And yeah there was a post saying "WHITE PEOPLE ARE MAD ABOUT SEKIRO EASY MODE BECAUSE VIDEO GAMES ARE THE ONLY HARDSHIP THEIR EXPERIENCE". I thought this was about helping disabled people? Can whites not be disabled? Whatever happened to 'intersectionalism'? These people are corporate neo-liberal shitheads pretending to be radical revolutionaries or whatever.
frontlinejp.net/2018/06/14/sekiro-shadows-die-twice-interview-with-director-miyazaki-part-2-2/ >The gameplay is discussed next. Miyazaki says that there are three parts to the action design in Sekiro: Grappling hooks, sword fighting, and “killing smart”. The grappling hook allows for vertical movement which makes exploring three-dimensional maps more fun, and also gives the player access to more dynamic movement, and thus more options in battle. The sword fighting is “ninja-like”, where the player is constantly side by side with death, looking for an opening. Finally, “killing smart” refers to how the game gives the player multiple options to deal with adversity, allowing for a wide range of approaches, allowing them to use weapons, powers, or the environment. Killing smartly is an important theme in Sekiro, a way to give players a way to enjoy the satisfaction of overcoming difficult challenges. It is a game where, if you are bad at the action, you can find another way. It is still possible to take on challenges head-on, but since there are other ways, the combat is now even harder. >(Miyazaki) says that as Sekiro is different from Dark Souls, players may first find it to be difficult, but as they learn new ways of fighting and new tactics and get better, they should feel the pleasure of getting better, which is part of their usual unchanging theme of gaining catharsis through overcoming hardship
How's that true? I'm as normalfag as they come and I've finished every souls game including bloudbourne.
Angel Nguyen
>Doesn't post fighting games clearly not actually black, just american
Ayden Edwards
Ruins the original design intention. Anyone who refutes this is a sjw faggot.
Jack Jackson
Oh also people like to say "IGNORE THEM AND THEY'LL GO AWAY, YOU ARE THE ONLY ONES GIVING THEM POWER" as if shit like the New Vegas team not getting to make more Fallouts because of low review scores didn't happen before the stupid 'WE THE GAMERS VS THE JOURNALISTS' drama got really bad. The director of that game actually is a leftist, who depressingly enough is trying to be liked in that culture - the very same culture that stopped him from doing further work on a series he had emotional investment in.
Old media is absolutely keeping creativity back and making it clear to devs that players think they're dipshits is a good thing.
You really aren't. I mean most people past college age don't play games any more. Im pretty normal too, have a gf, my own house, i lift and am able to appear human when out drinking. However you can see face on people when they come across the pile of games next to my ps4. They see names that aren't socially acceptable like FIFA and quickly note all possible escape routes.
Samuel Miller
Will you faggots fuck off? New Vegas is not a good game, either technically or as a work of fiction.
Charles Cooper
I thought new vegas was genuinely bad though and I've been with fallout from the start. I also disliked 2, im not an avellone fan at all.

I used to room with a few mates who were as normalfag as they come and they would drink and watch me play Bayonetta. Maybe I just lucked out with my friends.
Joseph Adams
I agree there New Vegas not withstanding.
Noah Young
You're a retard clinging to a bullshit narrative. The idea that Obsidian didn't make another Fallout game because NV's metacritic score was too low is nonsense. They didn't get a bonus because the score was too low. That doesn't mean that the metacritic score was the deciding factor that determined whether or not they would be given another project.
Thomas Myers
Guarantee they weren't normal fag if when drinking they wanted to watch you play some fetish anime game.
Thomas Sanders
Rewatching old Sekiro trailers, does anyone recognize who this dude was? For the life of me I cannot remember him in the main, wonder if he was cut content or something
From makes lore by writing dozens of stories and characters, removing chunks at total random and then letting fans create headcanon and connections.
Joseph Bell
Looks like a cinematic shot of the fucked up monks from senpou temple
Grayson Foster
Because you didn't really finish a game, getting aimbotted in CS:GO is not getting outskilled, and there are faggots and cunts finishing Dark Souls with a dance pad, so there's no need to add extra titles and illnesses to any individual to give them a pass as to why they suck balls in this game.
I died to Pontiff at least 50 times before diagnosed with autism, did I ask for an easy mode? NO! I GUT. GUD.
To me it looks like one of the sunken valley gun men.

That's the corrupted monk. There's a centipede just like the one controlling the immortal monk, and the mask looks pretty similar.
Brody White
People are really fucking defensive about this game everywhere. I even had someone report me as a cheater on one site because my Ashina traveller trophy didn't pop until I uninstalled/reinstalled the game, but other trophies had popped in the meantime. Like, why the fuck does it matter to you if my shit is out of order? Why couldn't you just message me and ask why it looked that way? Why do people care so much?
Julian Powell
What do you want from me? If I go on a racist tirade will you stop posting these shitty photos?

Jackson Ramirez
I know this bait but here goes The biggest problem about finishing a game with cheats to review it, is that you are supposed to give a fair but subjective opinion on the game and using cheats to bypass certain aspects of a game diminish what opinion one has over a game.
I literally don't understand how anyone can find this game more difficult than souls games, unless they summoned.
Xavier Wilson
This desu.
Unless your review is only about the story or everything else unrelated to actually performing the game's mechanics then the review is really only good for other people who want to cheat as well.
Austin Nguyen
Why are journos so asspained their opinions do not count if they don’t actually play the game?
Brandon Harris
I personally would not give a shit if they made an easier mode but crying to the devs because you don't know how to play with the toy you bought is pathetic. Besides that, why is it only okay in games journalism to be so bad to the point we're getting "I cheated at this game and that's okay" reviews from people that don't play games and retards defend this? Anywhere else these people would be laughed at.
Benjamin Turner
sora has succumb to the darkness
Angel Sullivan
I honestly don't understand why people read reviews at all in an age where you can just watch some gameplay to see what a game is like.
It’s one of the centipede guys from Senpou Temple. Looks like either it was meant to be a boss at one point or it was always a normal enemy but had an introductory cutscene for some reason, like new enemies in DMC games.
Adam Reed
I'm not trying to brag but this isn't so bad compared to something like a bullet hell shooter or Ninja Gaiden Black/2/DMC on DMD mode. Just 1 game shows a little grit and the journalists turn themselves inside out with rage when they seemed fine with DeS-DaS3

Camden Hernandez
Are you seriously getting mad at how people enjoy their ramen? Fucking ramers. Blocked.
Benjamin Wilson
Journalists know what they want and can agree on it.
Meanwhile autists on Yea Forums despite mostly having a similar view on the matter want to fight and one-up each other all the time. Dismissing arguments and facts given by others because they didn't come up with it themselves.
Adam Hill
I don't care if the game has an easy mode. Just label it "Game Journalist" or "Disabled" mode and prevent players from getting trophies or whatever. Not everyone has to enjoy the game the same way and I don't really care if other people cheat or cop out as long as they can't claim to have "beaten" the game the same way as people who played normally did.
Ethan Sanders

Oliver Perez
> part of a wider cultural movement Try to understand context deary
Christopher Perez
The game was advertised as hard. People have all said it's hard. If you don't like hard games, don't buy it.
I'm glad that, unlike literally every Dark Souls game, this game is actually hard.
Michael Gomez
They wouldn't do it to an RTS game because RTS games aren't popular.
If Sekiro wasn't made by the DUDE DARK SOULS DEVS LMAO and was just a genuinely good game by a random studio, they'd give up, say it's too hard and bad because of it.
But because it's FromSoft and popular they wouldn't dare say it's bad, so they shift it to being FromSoft's fault for not making the game easy enough for them to "beat" so they can chat about a popular game with their friends.
They literally feel entitled to beat the game, not because they paid for it, but because they feel entitled to say they beat it and get all the associated asspats despite not earning that right.
Andrew King
The kicker is that, no, a lot of them do NOT get paid.
t. former "journalist"
Christopher Brooks
the point of sekiro is litteraly that it's hard and you have to memorize paterns to win. It's not about muh secret club and them trying to hide part of the game behind a 'casual filter. No it's them complaining about something THAT'S LITTERALY THE GAME IN ITSELF. You don't go complaining a jigsaw has too many pieces because of accessibility do you?
