Accessibility isnt the same as easiness
Accessibility is primarily a matter of being able to give clear inputs to the game and receive clear outputs in the form of information you need in the time you need it to deal with whatever the game throws at you.
The whole point is to maintain a consistent experience across the board.
Accessibility in Sekiro would be shit like just making it possible to slow the game down but also slow the player character down for people with reaction-time disabilities.
You don't want to fuck with the game mechanics or balance itself.

>The entire game's recognition and selling point is difficulty
>Pls let us circumvent what the game is about

Git guud or play something else

this

and also hes not entitled to the game being made just for him. fromsoft didn't make a product intended for everyone. they made a product they wanted to and took whatever audience they could get.

theres actually a good GDC talk about why dark souls was so successful despite not being for everyone titled "why dark souls is the ikea of games". despite the title, its a really good talk. miyazaki himself has also said he just made games he wanted to make, and is extremely appreciative of his particular audience, which is NOT everyone nor is it intended to be, for allowing him to keep making these games and for showing so much support.

>Accessibility
>just add an easy mode
When did those two become synonymous when most people dont have a problem with accessibility option. It's feels like theyre conflating the two so when people argue against easy mode they start calling you against accesbility in games to make you look "ableist"
It's clear theyre only pushing this to get an easy mode since there's fucking a ton of fucking games released with little to no accesibilty options but they're targeting fromsoft because they make challenging games that people enjoy for the difficulty.

Being bad at games is not a disability. Being fat on the other hand is and no double dipping.

What i dont understand is that the game already starts on the fucking easy mode

Seriously, the endings are so lacklustre I can't help but wonder how disappointed these people are/will be if they get what they want either through cheating or official easy mode. The entire fun of the game is the challenge and overcoming it, the satisfaction you feel after finishing a fight like Owl 2 is something unique. Something "accessible" like Spiderman cannot give you that.

>accessibility allies
Is that the new word for cripples? Why not just call them lame allies?

The NBA should put the hoops 1 inch above the ground so basketball is accessible to small people
The UFC should allow guns so MMA is accessible to people in wheelchairs
You should be allowed to just pick up golf balls, walk over to the hole and drop them in, so golf is accessible to people with no depth perception

There are a ton of accessiblity features in sekiro.
Controls are fully remapable, tons of audio options, subtitles, color coded prompts have additional cues.
But all they focus on is difficulty.

Have the creator of the Souls Games/Sekiro made a statement regarding accessibility since it became an issue in the past few months?

>became an issue
It's been 3 weeks since the game came out and this autistic forced twitter campaign has been going on for like maybe 2 weeks. They'll tire out in another 2 as long as From continues to ignore them.

i dont think any of this even matters because from software will literally never cave in to these people and add an ez mode.

this

the guy in the twitter screencap seems to actually be part of a generally good cause. improving accessibility options by (hopefully) donating money to companies performing R&D and by making resources on how to implement accessibility and what to be aware of is great for improving the situation for disabled people.

the part where they target sekiro specifically just for being hard even for the fully abled is dumb though and is just hitching on the twitter tranny bandwagon and hurts my impression of their movement. sekiro should be pretty accessible controls wise. audio cues aren't important at all. all actions are one button actions besides weapon arts which require pressing a whopping combination of two buttons.

Yeah the fact it has remappable controls at all already makes it more accessable than most fucking games. It's infuriating how tranparent journos are being about pretending to care about the disabled in order to get their easy mode option they think theyre entitled to.

They don't have to because the game is already accessible? As for difficulty they've already stated why there isn't a starting difficulty option in multiple interviews.

anyone can play sekiro though. not having an easy mode doesn’t mean it isn’t accessible. everyone starts the game with the same character. nobody is given benefits over new players. these games are known and popular because of their challenge. fuck the participation award generation

Do they respond to this? What is their response to the "you can literally play, no one is stopping you"?

yeah tell those libtards how it be!

Probably the most correct image ever made

It already has one. It's the default. You can increase the difficulty if you want.

i would love to live without having to work my ass off to make ends meet. maybe i should cry for “accessibility” into getting free money like this lardass probably does. probably getting benefits because he is to fat (or lazy) to work

Are deaf players missing out on audio queues that a non-deaf player would be able to use to have an easier experience?
Are colourblind players unable to see certain things in the game?
They should add shit for that, but turning down the difficulty has nothing to do with accessibility.

If you want accessability, play on Xbox or PC and get yourself one of these. Theres nothing you cannot do with controller that you cant do with this.

Because that's how you do things on Twitter, pick a minority group of some type and champion that the only reason you're doing all this is for their sake and totally not yours.

Twitter needs to die, they are just grabbing onto a popular game to get their money making organization out there.

Dude fucking git gud

Because Miyazaki isn't a niggerfaggot of the highest proportion

They should monetize it. Easy mode costs extra.

>all these replies
Good job, faggots.

more like steve spoon lmao

What in the fuck even is this?
Should the devs be required to knock the graphics down to PS1 tier and them optimize the physics and A.I. down to minimalist perfection so that the less "computer-abled" can play it on their 15 year old Gateway?
Do they have to add every language under the sun for the less "parts of the world that actually matter" citizen can play it in their straw huts while speaking Sentinelese?
Do they have to turn all the weapons into to rubber bats and the blood into rainbow sparkles for the less "violence tolerating" abled?

Where do these fucks draw the fucking LINE? How about the time abled? I'm a human being with a limited lifespan. Plz put a button in the game that imbues me with god-tier skills so I can live a full life knowing I've mastered fighting games, shooters, RTS's, and beating porn games without jacking it.

You have awful taste, it's so far Miyazaki's best game. Only one that could maybe be instead called the best is Demon's Souls but let's be honest the gameplay in Sekiro is a lot better.

Jewt left years ago, it's time to come out of the coma.

Why don't they just keep on trying? I got my ass beaten by Juzou and ogre dozen times but I didn't whine for an easy mode. Just learn their patterns and don't mash attack button like a faggot.

All the time these people spent on their PCs bitching about it, they could've just used a trainer.

>Sekiro adds a patch allowing a one-handed control scheme
>Difficulty remains the same
Please, From

This "issue" is solved by playing something else that you'll enjoy more or doing your best with the cards you've been dealt in life if beating the game means that much to you, any disability be damned as that one cripple proved. Plenty of things are not compromised in their entirety in the name of becoming accessible.

Their egos are so colossal that they see dying in a video game as being something wrong with the game.

>for people with reaction-time disabilities
They should just put attention more at enemy moveset.
You can predict enemy type of strike like 1 second before actual strike.

This guy gets it.

I also wish games added a colorblind mode, shouldn't be hard when there are already postprocessing shaders present. Playing games with red warning icons gets harder when you can barely see red.

How can you make the game able to be played with 1 hand anyways

Keep sucking in every fart that gets seeped out in that cesspool of a site. Hopefully you get brainwashed to join the 40%.

Thanks for making us aware of accessible.games/

EVERY game should have remappable controls. There's no fucking excuse not to, it takes like five man-hours to implement.

Yes I have? Why would I claim to have played it if I had not? It was the first Souls game I played because there were no others back then. And it is objectively superior over every single game in the Dark Souls trilogy.

Saving for later.

I'd balk at calling it cynical use of a minority group, it's more likely just that people are fucking terrible at clear language and by "accessibility" he means him as a consumer being allowed to see all the game's content without "needing to pass a test" (ie play the game)

This is of course missing the point of the game entirely as the real substance of FROM games is the ludonarrative.

I'm not allowed to scuba dive because my lungs are shit. Scuba diving needs to add an easy mode for those of us who can't do it. The companies should make me a bunch of stuff for free so I can do it too.

Fuck this fucking narrative of people shit at games thinking they're entitled to finish everything. I'm old and don't have the ADD twitch reflexes of a 12 year old, i'm entitled to win every battle royale game I play, they need to implement aimbots for those of us who can't aim well so we can win every time.

and on any kind of game you have to learn the rules and how to play good.
from poker to football.

Jesdus fucking Christ, look at that absolute unit, it doesn't even have a neck!

Accessibility options are great. But to add an easy mode is just condescending.
I want to be able to play the game at its intended difficulty. I don't want you neuter the difficulty as if I am not capable of handling the intended experience.

What the fuck am I reading?

Remember when Doom and all other Doom-engine games had god mode and all weapons cheats built in and nobody threw a shit fit about muh elitism difficulty?

If only his hands could move as fast while playing video games as they clearly do while shovelling food into his face.

Just face it, you take pride in your reaction time (and skin color) even though you were just born with it.
No wonder no woman sees value in you.

No, otherwise they'd be happy with just the credits sequence running with the press of a button. Their demand for an easy mode, instead of cheats, is proof of this. They want to win with no effort, but without their egos getting hurt. So you can't have shit like Wolfenstein's "can I play daddy?" mode, because it would hurt their pride, which is what this thing is entirely about.

Maybe he thinks it was called demon souls or demon`s soul and went for a petty gotcha? Then, after rushing off the grab the box art, he saw his error and vanished back into anonymity.

From what I can tell, they're basically advocating for a "skip emotionally challenging moment" button.

99% of the subhumans behind this easy mode movement are lefty wh*toids. I'm willing to go even further and say the vast majority of them are "male" too, if such things can be considered one.

Make tips and skip puzzle buttons of course.

>You should be able to skip gameplay, cutscenes, options and set everything to a single button

This fuck is worse than anita.

I don't think it's too late to /thread. Well said.

I hate Sekiro so much. Not because it's difficult, but because I think the gameplay is utter fucking shit. Shallow and repetitive. Zzz. But I applaud From for having the balls to take a step back from Souls / Bloodborne and make a smaller and more focused game like Sekiro. They are going for an even smaller niche audience with it and that's fine. Mass appeal is the death knell for gaming. Also, adding multiple difficulties IS expensive and a waste of time and resources if you intend to have one unified experience.

No, young people have better reaction times and most gamers are young, white and entitled with no stakes in life.
that's why you polarize everything and stand on the wrong side of history

cause challenge is the whole point of their games
if you want easy mode then just get cheats

also what accessibility? the controls are fairly simple, you could play it with one arm if you really tried, you can play it with no sound too

Yes lets complain about the game not being pandered to casuals. That is the REAL issue with the game industry right now.

Easy mode is only condescending if it breaks some game mechanics.
If an "easy mode" makes a boss not counterattack when you hit it, that's bullshit. But if it only requires you to hit him 3 times instead of 10 times on normal difficulty, that's perfectly fine.

Is IKEA the Dark Souls of department stores?

After having killed it in the first place.

Games where you can't skip cutscenes are fucking cancer though.

Based retard.

The woman part was just to spite you since it's likely racists and edge lords are also cis, nice try deflecting, you have no argument.

Do actual mental health specialists treat peoples problems like this? If you have an issue with x just avoid it forever instead of developing a way to cope with it and give the patient the best possible chance of being able to function normally in society. The alternative would be avoiding all untested media, never trying anything that was not already on a specially sanctified list and otherwise having to force everyone in your life to constantly walk on eggshells in every casual conversation and other social interaction. Who could even live like that?

there is an easy mode. its called ng+ and it’s piss fucking easy.

Not an argument

Well, the alternative to mass appeal was practically NO appeal back then, so you're the retard for suggesting the gaming landscape these days is remotely similar.

5 man hours?
more like 2 tops for PC excluding shit like mouse/joy degree input controls.
Why you wouldn't ever store control inputs in variables? Menu for this is just spread&forget.

Implying people who love From's games as they are aren't tearing these limp wristed fagaloids a new asshole on Twitter. This is nothing new for From, happened with Dark Souls as well. When E3 comes these faggots will forget about Sekiro and latch on to some other thing.

You will die if you scuba dive, you're more or less prevented from Scuba diving because you won't survive. Also, would you not enjoy being able to scuba dive? If there was some apparatus you could rent to make it possible for you, would you not appreciate it?

Hell, I'm not even on the side of make an easy mode for games. Your example was just dumb.

These people can play the game, just not well.

Fastest selling doesn't translate to having the same tail end as their other games. They have built up a dedicated fanbase who are willing to give the game a chance but it's not a game for everyone. Do those sales take into account people who refunded/sold the game back to the store? All this tells me right now is that From has a reliable core audience, but I wanna see what sales are like after a year or so to see if that translates into good overall sales for such a niche title like Sekiro.

including making the key rebinding menu.

Anyway, the point is that for anything except the most low budget indies, it's a minuscule amount of effort compared to making the rest of the game. It's especially infuriating in PC games where you don't have the same controller on every machine.

Well, yes? You’re a cuck if you think otherwise

were not in a video game crash anymore. im sure anyone can just buy another game. there are literally thousands available right now, all catering to different tastes and sensibilities.
the fact that these people want sekiro to be more accessible is besides the point. i dont even think these people would play sekiro. they just want to say that they were able to beat it for the sake of wearing it like a badge, because they think thats why people play it.
heres kind of a redpill for everyone who wants this game to have an easy mode or be accessible or whatever bullshit you want to spew: few, if any, play this game just to be able to say “ha! i beat it! im so cool now”. people actually play these kinds of games because they enjoy it. maybe for once just leave these hobbies alone and focus on something else, cause youre not even enjoying it.

It’s not hard if you paid attention to the dialogue, but nobody ever dies that.
use the whistle ffs

I don't have enough hours in my life to play through every game. I think devs should make their games into 10 minute short films from now on so I can experience it all.

It should become a meme for progressively more crippled people to beat Sekiro to stunt on other crippled people

Eventually some breathing tube dude will 0 hit sekiro while 22 year old perfectly healthy game journalists are crying about ez mode

this user not even lying. I saw people spamming their gofundmes on the kingdom hearts twitter for money to get the game and to my surprise they got it. what the fuck.

>People with real physical disabilities actually oppose this retardation.
The only disabled people I frequently hear from are the colorblind, and it's an easy fix: just avoid obvious shit like coloring teams green vs red, or better yet add a colorblind mode that shifts all the colors one way or another. Since it's such a common disability and an easy fix, and since the game usually isn't all about color identification, I can understand colorblind individuals asking developers for assistance.

But reaction time? My sympathies go out to you if you're physically unable to react quickly, but maybe FromSoft games aren't for you if you can't react quickly. Just like how I'd never take to twitter and complain about colorblindness in a game that's all about matching colors.

There are hundreds of thousands of other games out there. Missing out on one isn't going to kill you.

refunds only effect digital sales
Sekiro was overwhelmingly well received outside of some retards feeling left out

because the devs dont want to
the game is made for a niche audience who enjoy the challenge
not every game has to be for everyone

why do liberals want everything to be a generic grey blob
why do they hate diversity
everything has to be exactly the same

easy mode is already in the game - it's the shield prosthetic

You can use it to deflect and itll do tons of posture damage. You can also just turtle up and absorb hits then release a huge attack at the right moment.

For that schin schin warrior with the purple balls, the shield is just ridiculous. You can just shuffle towards him slowly absorbing every ball before taking out 30 percent of his health with one attack.

Do people actually find this game hard? The only boss I sort of had a problem with was Demon of Hate and he only killed me about 8 times, everyone else I beat on 2nd or 3rd try including SS.
I'm very confused as to why people think this game is some sort of skill test.

why the fuck do all these dumb people want Sekiro in particular to have an easy mode?

>Sekiro was overwhelmingly well received
Still too early to tell imo. Most of my friends who loved it and stuck with it are starting to become less enthusiastic about the game now that they are in NG+ and the shallow and repetitive nature of the game starts to seep in. It may be a one-and-done game and those kind of games tend to have pretty bad long term prospects. Of course this is just an anecdote and is not indicative of what the reality is. Like I said, I wanna see after a year how well the game has sold and if niche new IPs really do have a chance or not at the big boy league.

noooo but what about the disabled!!!!!

Video games are a luxury item. Straight up. They are a form of recreation. They are something you have to have some amount of privalage to enjoy, and theres a big irony in how loud the crowing is about fairness, accessibility, and representation is important for a disposable medium that like only a minority of people, WORLDWIDE get to enjoy

Just think, some platform where we can get the game (a entirely digital product that can be infinitely replicated) and distribute it for free to anyone who wants to play it
Whos with me??

If From caves into their demands.

It will prove videogames are dead

Because it's popular and challenging, so it's an easy target unfortunately. You'll never see this shit directed at a tough indie game. Hell, this entire conversation is going to be dropped once everyone is over Sekiro and probably won't be brought up again until the next From Software release.

What is it about this game that inflicts so much butthurt? I don't remember the bitching being this hard about the Soulsborne games.

That man has no neck.

AHEM

SEKIRO is SHIT

Because all their crying about the super sekrit "Club Sekiro" and evil goobergator gatekeepers betrays the fact that they desperately want to be part of the "club", but lack the ability. Basically it's the participation trophy generation being exposed to something that rewards merit alone.

Firecrackers are pretty easily exploitable as well. Not only that, but there are additional healing items in the form of the pellets and the open ended nature gives you opportunities to explore and get more upgrades if you're stuck on a boss. In a lot of ways I actually think the game might be a little too lenient at times.

Both game journos and some souls fans cannot process that the game requires different tactics to beat.

Video game isn't a part of primary needs, people with disabilities can choose other games or other forms of entertainment if they can't play this game.If they add accessability to all games, why stop there? Why not make the game and console free so that kids in third world countries have access to play the game. I swear westerners are such entitled pussies

You're a colossal faggot, and here's why:
>the gameplay is utter fucking shit
It is objectively better than in any of their previous games, you are braindead to think dodge spam is anywhere near as engaging or deep as Sekiros combat.
>Shallow and repetitive
It very literally has more depth and less repetition than the gameplay of ANY Souls game or Bloodborne.
>But I applaud From for having the balls to take a step back from Souls / Bloodborne
It was a step forward, not back
>and make a smaller and more focused game like Sekiro
The game is quite literally their biggest game yet, no Souls game nor Bloodborne was as long as Sekiro. DS2 does not count for obvious reasons.
>They are going for an even smaller niche audience with it and that's fine
They aren't, Sekiro is selling better than any of their previous games.

My guess is that journalists, who love the third-person action-adventure titles that are so popular nowadays, saw Sekiro and expected something more in line with the difficulty of other third-person action-adventure titles. This was not the case. They were disappointed because they WANTED to like it, but can't play it without significant time investment.

The butthurt whining became articles, and when the articles started generating controversy clicks it evolved into a "movement". Nobody actually gives a shit if From Software adds an easy mode, they just want an official response so they can write more shitty opinion pieces about it for money and attention.

I think it's just a display of power for crybullies.

Accessibility in Sekiro would be shit like just making it possible to slow the game down but also slow the player character down for people with reaction-time disabilities.

But no games do that aside from the occasional game with a bullet time system and even then it's a power with limited use and not on demand for accessibility. Why is Fromsoft getting shit on specifically now other than the retards who hoped on their games because of the "prepare to die" make themselves easy targets.

And don't act like this is purely accessibility. Journalists started this by calling for an easy mode and only switched to accessibility as a defense when they got backlash.

This whining about video games proves all this shit is just navel gazing and back patting

Ya, colourblind should literally be a non-issue for devs and there should be a colourblind assist for any game nowadays. It would be v easy.

- Adjusting combat speed is fine, although that might be hard to implement in the game engine.
- No problem with adding +1 resurrections, but then you'd have to change the subtitle to Shadows Tie Thrice
- Rest is bullshit, but can be easily implemented in a less egregious way without ruining the atmosphere (e.g. enemies slower to detect you, less posture damage when hit, more gourd capacity)

These people aren't disabled
They just want to play a game that isn't for them because it's popular
So instead of realizing this isn't a game for them, they want from to change the game to be made for them because how dare someone make a game that isn't for everyone
Fucking retarded, meanwhile actual disabled people can play the game just fine.

For AAA games at least. Indies may not have the resources to implement custom shaders and/or make additional textures for the colorblind mode.

All of this would be solved if every tip screen in the game just said "repeatedly smash l1 until the enemy you are fighting is ready to die to a quick time event". With the occasional "dodge slash spam if that isn't working".

Because that is the vast majority of bosses, including the "difficult" ones. A lot of people start off with Sekiro thinking it is a ninja game, but in fact it is a fishing game. Instead of fishing for fish you fish for parries. Once you figure that out the rest of the game is a breeze.

Companies should just not give in.

I'd have a "STORY" mode, where you can watch a VIDEO of the story play, just the cutscenes of the game. But no gameplay.

Gameplay is gameplay. You dont fucking ask the writer of Citizen Kane to have an "Easy to Understand" cut of Citizen Kane.

>Journalists started this by calling for an easy mode and only switched to accessibility as a defense when they got backlash.
Which is funny because Sekiro already has more accessibility options than most AAA console games You'd be surprised. Both Unity and UE4, two very popular indie engines, have colorblind assist shaders in their asset stores, available for free. It's still work to implement, but given how much of the population is colorblind (roughly 8% of men) I'd say it's worthwhile.

>Accessibility isnt the same as easiness
Same thing I've been saying every thread. When you start fucking with the actual gameplay mechanics, you've already moved beyond the scope of "accessibility". Where do you draw the line when it comes to making the game easier for people who are just shitty at video games? They can already tailor their experience by cheating. Just ask for what you really want: cheat codes or game genie. There's people without working arms or legs playing games competitively with their mouth. You don't need to make games easier to make them accessible.
Accessibility can also only get us so far. People don't design video games for people who are blind because the medium is inherently visual so you need to be able to see to enjoy it unless you're that one guy who just likes playing Doom with god mode while listening to the sounds.

easy mode should be added with a special trait: there are no enemies or bosses, period. You can literally walk to the end of the game with zero resistance, and you get a new worst ending.

what the fuck

The funny thing as to this "discussion" is these advocators of easy mode are intentionally omitting competitive multiplayer games, such as fortnite and COD, saying allowing easy mode in multiplayer games actually affect other players so it cant be unlike single player games.

But if you look at soulsborne games on the same principle as these multiplayer games, which requires that the players take over the same level discussion and commitment, as Miyazaki explained, you would find basically there is no difference between both. Allowing easy mode in soulsborne in fact affects a lot of players who would be tempted to change the difficulty when they stuck in difficult situations, and the developer do not want these players to use easy mode.

And let's not forget there are other genres that do not have gradual difficulty option even though it is not multiplayer or online games --- rhythm game, puzzle game(well, how can disable people play tetris grand master, huh?), and shmup. But these people who argue sekiro should have had easy mode never say these games should have "accessibility options" --- which is nothing but hypocritical.

why are people suddenly asking for easy mode now?

Only if the cheat menu has to be activated with a konami code or something. Cheats being a little secret is a tradition I like.

People have been asking for easy mode since dark souls 1

From won't add an 'easy' mode (summons were effectively an easy mode previously anyway) as long as their 'difficult' games keep selling so well.

the reasoning can be summed up with the single word "MUH"

Is this a good place to rant about sekiro?

I have the same problem with it as all the other souls games with its bossing, the combat is all "dodge all attacks forever, get off ONE hit for 5% of the boss's HP, then go back to autistically dodging everything ever", like there's no way to play it except as hyper-defensive and manic-dodging and it makes all boss battles take an extremely long time, you can't take any risk at all for any reason and it's the only way to play.

Also, the posture system(where bosses lose posture as you perfect parry/perfect dodge their stuff, and if they lose all posture you instantly kill them) is almost not worth using just because ONE missed dodge/perfect parry/jump/etc will almost immediately spell your doom and bosses' posture bars are so enormous.

there are cheats on pc

The game is ridiculously hard
There should be an easy mode

they should just add a retard mode, name it 'cinematic mode' and disable achievements for it

>I hate video games, their culture and playing them
>Please change them so I can continue saying I like them on social media
What the fuck was that movie that said :I like the idea of drinking coke more than actually drinking it."?

>dodging

You fucked up what the hell are you doing? The game pushes you to deflect and counter attack (to take advantage of passives). Deflecting with the shield does massive posture damage.

fuck off

It is a gameplay issue if you have poor coordination and reactions. But it's extremely difficult to adapt a fast action game for people with these kinds of problems while retaining its concept.

Had a friend once who came out as trans and got really SJW

The entire friend group pretty much fucking dropped them because of that constant complaining and the feeling that everyone was always walking a goddamn tightrope, you don't have to live your life trying to cater to someone else that fucking hard at your expense because of "MUH FEE FEES"

The posture damage is almost never enough, like I was mass-parrying lady butterfly's 3 hit and 7 hit comboes and it did maybe 10% of her posture damage, and it will recover anyway

That, and if I miss a parry I will 90% die

You're literally playing the game wrong. Dodging is only for heavy attacks (and even that is only before you learn the Mikiri Counter). You're meant to play aggressively, slashing and parrying until you fill the enemy's posture bar. The boss HP bar is almost entirely pointless since as soon as their posture is depleted, you can OHKO them.

All you need to do to see that this entire "easy mode/accessibility" discourse is a forced narrative with ulterior motives is look at the achievement rates for Sekiro's trophies vs other games where no such discourse was had, like Bloodborne, Nioh, God of War, Persona, Horizon, etc.

25% of players beat Owl, 21% beat the divine dragon and the game has only been out for a few weeks. 3% have platinum-ed the game vs 4-year-old bloodborne's 5.7%. Only 15% of people beat all the Valkyries in God of War.

There is nothing about the game that is significantly more challenging or inaccessible than any other game of its type. Even games like Furi are just as difficult in their own way.

>All this outrage from normies about difficulty just spike my interesnt in the game.
That's literally why it's happening. It's a marketing tactic. Starting a word-of-mouth about how hard it is isn't enough anymore after being desensitized from 4 souls games and "the dark souls of x" being an overused buzzword. Instead, fake outrage is used to captivate people of the target audience--not the people complaining--but you.

Because otherwise, everyone would play the easy mode and the experience wouldn't be the same, and the game would be forgattable

>Where do you draw the line when it comes to making the game easier for people who are just shitty at video games?
This is the crux of the 'easy mode' discussion, regardless of any talks about accessibility. Any easy mode short of full-on godmode will still leave some shitters unable to finish it. From giving in to every demand for an even easier mode would be fucking stupid.

I mean, the game already has a cheat engine, if they're going to be a massive fag about the "difficulty" then just cheat and live with the shame or whatever, no need for the devs to specifically cater to their stupid whining and ruin the game for the actual fans of the game.

How do you ever come back from being that bad at a tutorial?

Food analogies are the highest form of debate

I love how people just cant move on.
Like just play a different game. I'm not a fan of the game either. Instead of shitting things up I just let people enjoy it. Why are they like this?

It's hillarious how many summonbabs sekiro has revealed.
I bet the same people who scream about easy mode now, summoned for every boss in souls games then posted about how much they like hard games.
Based Miyazaki.

If someone who never touched a controller before plays Doom with it it'll be like that. But why would you do that in the first place.

Reminder that fags game Cuphead the same shit when they found out casual mode outright removed phases from bosses.

If they don't complain, they have no clickbait. If they have no clickbait, they have no money.
Being whiny weenies is literally how they survive.

Imagine that we as humans are now able to climb a mountain without getting hurt.
It would still take a lot of effort and skill but there would be no danger in climbing mountains, do you think then that everyone would go and climb the Everest? No, they wouldn't, they would chose other mountains, because climbing that one takes too much time and effort and probably you don't like climbing mountains that much so why would you do it unless you are willing to put in the effort.

Here is the reason Sekiro does not have an easy mode, is because people are weak and stupid and our morale falters against adversity. If you were fighting Genichiro, Ishin, whoever the fuck and after 5 tries you were like "this is impossible, what an unfair fight" then this is what you do, you switch it to easy, you beat the boss and feel complete indiference or at least a light relief that you don't have to fight that boss anymore. This way you have been walled off from feeling the success of beating adversity, of adquiring skill at the game and as a result, you like the game less, maybe even get to hate it, because it gave you nothing of value in the end, you didn't learn to play it and you didn't test yourself at the peak of your skills.

I'm fine with other games not wanting to test your morale and patience or will to improve, but we fucking need games that do, because a lot of people will not find the value in those if you give them an easier path. And I believe we should force them down the hard path so they learn and feel the reward just as we do.

If the majority of players keep repeatedly dying to the same boss to the point of frustration, then either the developer didn't give enough clues on the proper strategy, or set the difficulty too high. Unless you're specifically making an autism fest like IWBTG, both of those are design problems. Of course, some players will fail even the most basic press X to win situation, but game design is about finding a balance between easy/obvious and hard/cryptic.

Japs are probably sharing these emails around the office, laughing at stupid whities, and throwing them in the trash.

This kid with his little quiet brother randomly came up to me one day when I was browsing the game section in Blockbuster and gave me a whole bunch of suggestions and recommendations with short minute-reviews thrown in between.
It was really cute.

Because I'm the worst Sekiro player on Yea Forums and I just beat Isshin, if a shitter brainlet like me could do it then there is no need for an easy mode.

There have never been this many games before and they are easily available. Why don't you just play another easier game instead of demanding a difficult by design game to cater to you?

I am not sure what you are meaning, but you cannot get the status "you cleared" when you cannot reach to the lowest level that each songs have set in a game. You literally cant beat even one song in DJ MAX Respect if you have a shitty skill. Saying rhythm games is not excluding low skilled gamers because maybe it has a tiny fraction in a game that caters to these people are frankly a moronic statement.

The thing is, you can do that, just like you can be a financial analyst without actually managing investments and trading stock.

why don't the people playing Sekiro try to get gud?

Can we finally accept that accessibility is a slippery slope and even the slightest compromise was a mistake?

They did nothing for me. Those viral videos of tearful dads wearing them for the first time are fucking fake

On a technical level, the comparison is unfair since the pigeon's test doesn't require any manual dexterity, while jumping then dashing in cuphead requires a tiny amount of proper timing. However, practically the pigeon STILL wins because you can tell from the footage that the pigeon figured out the solution faster than Dean did so the manual dexterity shit was never even a factor. Not to mention DEAN HAD FUCKING INSTRUCTIONS RIGHT THERE

>compromising art for some shitter plebs

Art also doesnt need to be looked too deep into its just made for fun.

Its not even about accessibility. There are cripples who have managed to beat Dark Souls just fine.

God, I wish that were me.

Doom is nothing like FromSoft games dumbfuck. If you can't understand why From games have no easy mode, then you fundamentally misunderstand their games.

This is highly dangerous, as they're associating a valid concept (accessibility) with gameplay difficulty.
This sets a precedent, now any game that is not easy is not "accessible" thus "discriminating" against disabled people, which is literally nazism for these people.
Luckily no journo has picked up on this (yet).

No. From has been making unforgiving games long before he was around.

Doom was very much like FromSoft games when it came out. A dark, scary, difficult game with bosses that killed you in one or two hits if you made a slight mistake. It looks easy now with all the familiarity, modern controls and high-res full-3D graphics, but that wasn't always the case.

Attached: listen here noob.jpg (1024x768, 200K)

And easy mode wouldn't help them though, at least not how they probably hope

You can shave health off enemies and bosses and give the player greater damage, but that's not gonna help if you still fundamentally can't grasp the game's mechanics (which they sure as shit won't change)

Mostly because the people who would enjoy it are mostly casual plebs who I would vastly prefer to eat shit and die.
And I don't even play Sekiro.

Basically this. Avoidance is a slippery slope that ends up destroying your life. The only way to treat anxiety issues is to face them.

Alright, alright. Alright though.
If it's an accessibility thing, then fucking design some new specialty controllers and be kind of a big deal about it. We already have specialty gear for the disabled in all other parts of society.

We don't demand a movie should be made "accessible" to the blind, or that golf should be made accessible to the quadriphlegic.

I'm sympathetic to your cause, colourlets, but has it ever occured to you that games in colour are just not made for you? I'm sure there are enough black-and-white games or other games where colours aren't important.

How can he say that when he literally played a tutorial as part of his job and posted a video about it as another part of his job?

You are doing it wrong user. Deflecting is the way to go most of the time. You just wanna dodge maybe big overheads instead of deflecting cause you get more hits in.

user please

There are 4 red eyes enemies, and red eyes just means they are naturally greasy fuckers. You can light any enemy on fire if you oil them up first.

I guess one nuke really was enough after all.

>Well, it turned out rhythm games are excluding low skilled gamers

Big part of WHY Miyazakis games are fucking art is that they force you to get good at them to beat them.
Play something else.

That's kind of the point. Allow people with shittier reactions to play, at the expense of fights taking longer.

Yes, you can. But he made a video about him playing a tutorial as part of his job.
So, apparently it only isn't his job to play games when it is inconvenient to him.
