If it's single player, I don't give a fuck, as long as there is a strong indicator which mode is the intended experience.

He said he is okay if you mod an easy mode into your game

The truth behind all these stupid articles and this stupid discussion is that game journalists just want to be able to complete games faster and easier for their reviews. Why can't they just come and admit this? Why do they pretend like they're fighting for some noble cause when it's just them being lazy?
Jace Miller
All the hardest stuff in Sekiro is optional anyways. Fromsoft trolled players into torturing themselves because they have too much pride to use firecrackers or unequip the demon bell. It's pretty funny.

Asking for a game to take away the intended emotion of failure from games like this is like watching movies on your phone,sure its convenient but you're missing the fucking point.

Angel Stewart
Watched the video, first half it's making generalizations towards people aganist easy modes by taking cherrypicked examples, second half is him saying that it's ok for sekiro to not have and easy mode but it's also fine for people cheating to win the game,makes some weird ass comparisons with speedrunners using cheesy tactics to win the game or modders adding stuff as if easy mode detractors are aganist that too.
He also bashes capitalism and EA because he can't live without calling them out like a vegan who needs to tell to everyone about his life choises.
Tl;dr: generalizations and attacks to capitalism like any classic trenchbloat video.

He said he doesn't give a shit if From puts an easy mode in there game or not, and likes it the way it is. He also says he doesn't give a shit if people mod their game to make it easier since it doesn't affect him in anyway.
Congrats, now you don't have to watch a twenty minute video
Sebastian Gray
I swear the solution to “Easy mode” is literally a cheat menu
Don’t waste time crafting an easy mode
Keep normal mode and just give the player infinite health stamina and money
Boom low skilled faggots, speed runners and “journalists” can all play
Daniel Harris
Literally two games come out with any semblance of challenge and people clamor for more easy games. It's just as bad as guys saying they're tired of women led movies after maybe three become box office hits.

The only people whose opinions on easy mode that matter are FromSoft themselves, I hope they make an official statement saying it's not happening so all these entitled children can cry themselves to sleep.
Charles Torres
Because they're "gaming personalities" not actual pro players, their main draw is their charisma not their playing ability and while there are exceptions who really know their shit and are "popular" like pannenkoek most people that really kick ass in video games have too much autism to really have any "star power", their videos would just be cringefests or straight up boring, see also: the speedrunning community. That or they're actually busy getting good at video games which can be really time consuming depending on the genre/game you want to git gud at.
Chase Turner
>Face it, most people want an easy mode.
Most people are also dumb savages, so that means nothing
Chase Wilson
This is kind of my mindset, really. If devs don't want to put in an easy mode, I think that's fine. Journalists making it about respect and ableism is bullshit -- a dev should be able to make a game that appeals to a niche without being shat on for not making it accessible to a wider audience. They knew what they build and the trade-off is lower sales. That's fine.
That said, if From opted to include an Easy Mode, I don't really care either. I think that again, if they opted to make the game more widely accessible, that's fine too.
Cheating in single player games shouldn't even be a discussion. Who gives two shits? Have fun, enjoy your game however you want so long as it doesn't negatively impact someone else's experience.
Adrian Wright
Not sure what they expect and easy mode to even be? Slower reacting enemies? I mean you can already one hit kill most base enemies and bosses are just a matter of figuring out how to get kill moves
Benjamin Wood

Nicholas Ross
He's an unbearable faggot and most people are wrong.
Juan Nguyen
He's pretty much saying nothing at all then.
Am I remembering wrong or did he used to say something along the lines of people being entitled to experience everything in the game if they buy it?
Justin Morales
Shit, nobody said he couldn't. Go ahead, beat the fuck out of the mound of bruised flesh and broken bones that was once a dead horse, but it was a stupid discussion to begin with that only diverted from actual discussion about sekiro. It really deserved better.
Aiden Taylor
Let's be real here for a second and forget the shitposting.
There isn't that much "game" to Sekiro once you put in an easy mode, even the ng+ really sucks once you know how the bosses work
Kevin Ramirez
guy has been pushing easy mode explicitly since he played kirby's epic yarn if not sooner
dunno why anybody listens to this guy or takes him seriously
Gabriel Sanchez
The only thing Sekiro needs as an easy mode is to just get rid of any sort of monetary loss for dying. Or even just get rid of the dragonrot thing. And cut down load times since Idols are already placed extremely close to bosses. It's all psychological.
Matthew Harris
Jim is a fat faggot who nobody pays attention to except shitposters who think he's the Armond White of vidya e-celebs.
Objectively, the best compromise to the whole situation is to bring back cheat codes. Put in a cheat code, and whatever you do just doesn't count towards your showans/trophies. They could lock you in an offline mode too so you can't bring them into that.
Charles Flores
From what I have heard from other people is that you have to dedicate alot of time to learning and mastering the mechanics. But some people don't want to do that so they use the easy mode card and spin it and say shit like "disabled people get locked out of the game" due to its so called "difficult" When the real problem is accesabillity due to controllers and in game settings not being tailored to those with physical and maby even mental handicaps.
Grayson Ramirez
I would like it if the games for the next few years, if they do have an easy mode, to rename it to "journalist difficulty mode"
Joshua Sanders
They should make Easy Mode a monetized feature. I want to see how much money they can milk out of it
Jaxson Phillips
Playing NG+ without Kuros Charm and Bell Demon and I just beat Genichiro, Robert’s dad, Centipede Giraffes, and Snake Eyes. Git gud.
Jaxson Russell
The game starts in easy mode, then when it feels you have mastered or at least know well the mechanics of the game, it gives you the chance to man up and ring the bell to put the game on normal mode or go on on easy mode.
Did you ring the bell user?
Brandon Mitchell

Then add an easy mode. Who cares. Being a story mode for a video game isn't some right of passage. You can't put it on your resume. Who fuck cares who gets to play and beat what game? This site is terrible.
Jacob Ramirez

Having multiple difficulty options in a game pretty much always fucks with the balance, unless the "easy mode" is just god mode and the "hard mode" just puts additional limitations on the player (no health increases etc.)

He's so obsessed with easy mode all he does is going after the dicks of other fat guys in his offtime.
Mason Gomez
Why do you doubt it? He always talks about how much he loves the souls series, he said sekiro isn't for him, but it's still an amazing game, and he was praising DMC 5. The strawmen in your head are constructs to make you people feel like you're a victim

but something that you consider easy might be hard for him
why deny him the pleasure of the game
Isaiah Taylor
Jim doesn't seem to understand that a lot of the important aspects of the game are conveyed through the difficulty and challenge.
Likewise, the developers aren't perfect - the difficulty of the bosses don't scale linearly. You can't just add or decrease health, damage and attacks to make the experience "the same" for differently skilled players. From Software isn't that skilled, and maybe it's just not possible for anyone to do that every time.
Sekiro is the penultimate example of this - despite being far more story driven, the game is much worse without its difficulty. It has neat set pieces and design, but you're missing most of the game when experiencing those - so why not just experience them through video instead?
Cameron Barnes

Caleb Carter
I am not denying anything to him, I am denying him the possibility that his whining might ruin the game for me since if they start adding bullshit like that they will have to fundamentally change the core design of the game, that is how it is.
The game isn't for them, that is all there is to it.
Jackson Watson
Zoomer trogs on this site don't know how to differentiate good videos from bad ones, as evidenced by the replies to your post. Don't bother.

He defended incompetence. Fuck him
Carson Sanchez
I think the best compromise is to just add cheats again. They're fun for skilled players to fuck around with sometimes too, especially after having cleared most of the content already, and in singleplayer games they harm nobody.
Nicholas Davis
I have 2 ideas.
1. They can demonize people who have an actual passion for games by baiting them onto getting angry when they are changing their hobby.
2. Like women, they intentionally cause trouble for attention. They know it gets clicks to their websites to make controversial statements.

Bentley Rodriguez
Make easy mode a micro transaction. If people want it they can pay extra for it.
Wyatt Garcia
Why did Yea Forums waste weeks and dozens of threads talking about it?
Benjamin Wood
The semantics are actually a really big deal in this case. Everyone knows you didn't really beat a game if you "cheated" at it. Just like everything else people cheat, like tests. But playing on easy still sounds like you went through the same game.
If I were a game dev, I'd include a "Cheats" menu, but no lower difficulties.
Cooper Myers

Journalism has largely died out and been replaced by blogging. Kill yourself, millennial.

Grayson Brown
Why are people even against an easy mode, how does that affect you?
Josiah Ortiz
Sekiro is a horror game that relies on its difficulty to scare and intimidate, a lower difficulty would get rid of most of the game's charm. It's like playing Amnesia and picking an easy mode that just gets rid of the monster so you just walk around.
Sekiro does have difficulty settings, just not ones you pick in a traditional way. It starts in its normal difficulty, and there's options in-game to make it harder.
Difficulty options have proven to ruin games that could otherwise be excellent. Just look at Nier: Automata, where you can choose to either breeze through the game and wonder why you aren't watching a movie instead, or pick "lol 1shot" mode and play every section gajillions of times.
Counter any of the above 3 arguments, easymodefags. Spoiler: you can't. /thread etc
Alexander Ross
>40$ easy mode DLC
would be interesting
Leo Flores
>Why are people even against an easy mode, how does that affect you?
Because get fucked shitter
Samuel Collins
Because if a dev puts on easy mode it should be because they want to, not because someone wrote an article "not having an easy mode is problematic"
Ryan Gutierrez
Then he shouldn't buy challenging games
Charles Wood
because the developer didnt want one and they shouldnt put one in because crybabby "journalist" faggots and rebbitors cant git gud

He doesn't get any money for his Jimquisition videos though, as he doesn't run any ads on them, and the whole thing is funded through Patreon.
Chase Murphy
I am not sure, why did he arbitrarily decide soulsborne is not a competitive game? You are clearly able to be getting good at single play game, bro.
Eli Torres
Zero sum gain.
Money spent of balancing, tinkering the stats and testing easy mode is money that could be spent elsewhere, improving the core game.
Caleb King
So you're saying that if a game comes out with an easy mode it won't get a wide reputation as a hard game thus won't get popular and won't get any sequels.
Makes sense
Sebastian Thomas
Because people don't want a game to lose value by caving into an easy mode? Sekiro isn't supposed to be an easy game, the world isn't supposed to be cuddly. The game would lose thematic value if there was an easy way out. It's like asking writers to write their books at a toddler level for people who suck at the language.
Cameron Nelson

Why would you be against an easy mode for Amnesia that removes the monster? It doesn't affect people who don't pick it. and some grandma playing it might have a heart attack and die. Are you literally anti-grandma? Everyone grows old and everyone should have a chance to play every game.

I think there's a little more to it this time. Journalists might be using "accessibility" to cover up the fact that women have zero interest in this game.
Lucas Garcia
So...after all, "Jim" (is OP guy, right?) thinks sekiro needs easy mode? I am confusing.
Ethan Collins
He makes a video every monday covering some recent topic for his show.
Ryan Campbell
I think every game should ship with a no-enemy mode for people who are averse to confrontation. It's the same game, except without the fighting. Just ignore it if you don't like it. And if anyone doesn't like it, it's because they're elitist and hate player freedom.
Ryan Garcia
Isn't incel an ableist slur in and of itself? Why can't modern liberals stop acting like the bigots they're always fighting with?
Dylan Wood

Sebastian Brooks
>he's so fat even his hat is wearing a corset
fuck James Stanton. when does he ever not have shit opinions? just when he's bandwagonning?

If games have an easy mode, you should be actively insulted for playing it. You don't get the normal ending, enemies mock you constantly, you don't have access to anything advanced or requiring skill. Make them suffer for taking ashortcut.
Adrian Davis
Because, being Westerners, they don't understand video games.

Well, for From Software stuff specifically, you're already taking the rather big punishment of missing the point of the game.

Samuel Lopez

Matthew Powell
No. The OP made a bait thread to punk people who didn't watch the video. The video is literally about how it doesn't need an easy mode
Ethan Long
The design philosophy behind Sekiro, Bloodborne, and the Souls games is an old one that relies on players learning from their mistakes so they are better prepared to handle new mechanics and tougher challenges later on. Adding easy modes would not only break these games and deprive less-skilled players the satisfaction of overcoming a challenge, but also damage the industry as a whole.
Imagine if every developer was required to spend time, money, and manpower destroying their initial visions by making sure their latest releases were so easy that even a toddler could play them. Casuals would be so spoiled from "beating" these games that they'll expect the next one to be even easier and, if it's not, complain endlessly unless the developers pacify them with a patch. It wouldn't be long before homogenization caused even remotely challenging games to go extinct.
Video games are just as accessible as any other form of media. The only things keeping casuals from playing are their defeatist attitudes, self-imposed inexperience, and lame excuses. Harder games having a "barrier of entry" is a myth perpetuated by those that have no faith in themselves and people who insist "gatekeeping" is a major problem fail to understand that others telling them to "git gud" aren't necessarily doing it out of spite.
If there's one thing predictable reactions to games like this prove, it's that there are genuinely entitled "gamers" out there who simply can't stand being left out. Everything can't appeal to everyone. The hours these people have spent begging for easy modes online could've been used to practice whichever part of the game was giving them so much trouble OR look for a new game to play instead. With the sheer number of shallow narrative-centric slogs to choose from these days, casuals have more options than ever before.
No one should seriously expect to beat every game they buy simply because they picked up the controller. If you aren't dying, the devs ain't trying.
Jose Lewis

Isaiah Young
IS that so hard to believe that not every game si supposed to appeal to every single person that has ever lived?
I dislike souls games but i dont see why they should add an easier mode. the entire game was built around that difficulty setting and making things easier will just hinder the experience.
Just accept that some games and genres aren't for you and move on.
Kevin Lopez
Casuals should be purged from all communities and accessibility ruins mediums. Once the vast majority of people in your community have very little actual knowledge of said community, your community has already sied.

I've seen a guy that had no arms or legs playing games like Diablo 3 only using his mouth and "blinking" his eyes.
I'm pretty sure even with his "motor issues" he could beat the game with the right tools and enough training.
Parker Bailey
Ironic coming from a faggot who LARPs as a Nazi
Gabriel Harris
some fat fuck in drag
Tyler Jackson
fuck off jim you fat loser moviebob twin cuck, stop posting here, nobody likes your shit anywhere especially not here.
and "most people" don't want shit, you're shit, accept that you're fucking shit instead of trying to obfuscate it constantly
Thomas Anderson
Dragonrot does nothing
Nobody can die from it
All it does is make them cough so you cant hear their diologue
Jason Hughes
Jim Sterling needs to face a shotgun barrel
Xavier Jackson
Get out and fucking stay out, why do you want to partake in a medium you are physically unable to? It’s like a blind person demanding all movies be stripped of visuals. Either get a controller that caters to you or fuck off and play something else, you are not entitled to experience every piece of media.
Eli Bailey
Now Jim Sterling opinion counts?
Luis King
>Story based
>Story comes almost entirely from reading item descriptions
Ninja Gaiden on NES was more story based than Dark Souls.
Angel Cox
>I just want a letsplay without an annoying voice
they're called long plays
Matthew Foster
That's a bad analogy, movies aren't made accessible by removing the visuals for everyone, they add optional audio description tracks for blind folks.
Matthew Sullivan
>it's okay to betray your principles with logical loopholes
You're one of those "privilege + power" types, aren't you.

Wow nice breasts grandma

Why are journos always wrong?
John Garcia
That made me laugh out loud, have a (you)
Christian Adams
>money=sex
No but they aren't opposites either, so why treat them like such?
Austin Torres
They have no arguments against what he says so they chimp out like a bunch of apes
Robert White
damn she looks young
Austin Howard
Nobody pretends those descriptive tracks are at all analogous. That really is comparible to easy mode, the wholly inferior experience because you cannot interact with the actual one.
Charles Reed
Just make cheats disable achievements
Lincoln Hall
Dude, they don't even listen to what he says, they just assume what he said.
Noah Fisher
Thanx
Anthony Lewis
Achievements are worthless and we’d still have subhuman casuals claiming to be part of the community.
Jaxon Cox
Yeah? So. Let blind people have their descriptive tracks, let retards have their easy mode. As long as it's optional, who cares if someone else ruins the game for themselves?
Juan Foster
sex isn't a ressource that you can collect
it's a sacred act between two people who love one another
you can't force someone to do it
Justin Hill
Add a disability mode but only let players who submit some evidence access it. Win-win.
Samuel Price
>Who cares an easy mode wont ruin the game
Logan Lee
the term "harmful opinions" accurately describes the thoughtcrime prosecution prevalent in western countries today. sorry if it invades your comfy little world
Nicholas Ramirez
I do, because the community gets worse with these hangers on that literally cannot comprehend the media they claim to be devoted to. The gate’s fucking closed, go away to something that suits your ability and taste where you can be a valuable contributor.
Carson King
He jizzed on himself to send a message somehow.
David Cox
You can still read/play the original instead.
Kevin Green
That's retarded, would only massively increase the cost of adding an easy mode and would likely be illegal anyway.
Noah Long
>tfw 8yo me used to love sith and clones a lot more than faggi jedkeks
They were the coolest niggas, I loved that shit as a kid
Colton Perry
That's how microtransactions came into being.

Tyler Smith
>sex isn't a ressource that you can collect
>it's a sacred act between two people who love one another
>you can't force someone to do it
Joseph Johnson
Ok all movies now require a sign language person in the bottom corner of the screen for deaf people.
Enjoy retard
Carson Rodriguez
It wouldn't be illegal. If that were the truth then handicap stickers would be too.
James James
>it's a sacred act between two people who love one another
That hasnt been true for about 50 years
Easton Barnes
They should also be forced to wear a badge that says "I played Sekiro on easy mode" in public so the whole world can know the dirty crimes they committed
Jordan Collins
Are you unaware that subtitles exist?
Andrew Watson
Which the opposite of how it is to the roasties who call people "incel", that's the point.
We're not talking about Christians here.
Easton Garcia
He says that what a developer chooses to do with their game is nobody's concern, and nor is what somebody does with their end-user game experience. He says that taking a stance either way on whether games should or should not make their difficulties modifiable is idiotic and not worth arguing over.
Tyler Long
That hasn't been true EVER
Kayden Murphy
Just make them wear one of these
Parker Garcia
Difference is blind/deaf people are are a barely existent minority of filmgoers while shitty casuals who need Easy modes to beat Japanese video games are the majority of the medium's overall audience, at least in the West.
Asher Murphy
Do people even still watch this faggot?
Levi Richardson
Or they could just learn how to play the god damn game as it was meant to be played?
Jaxon Garcia
You really think a government thing like handicap stickers and a private organization demanding personal info from people are the same as far as legality goes?
Oliver Bennett
No, that would cheapen the effort of those who went through the effort of conquering hard games with their own willpower. Not every piece of art is intended for everyone. You don't rewrite moby dick or gravity's rainbow just because they're too dense for some people to get through.
Austin Cruz
“Just ignore it”has been the war cry of the winning side since time immemorial.
Benjamin Young
>wearing the mark of the people who created video games
Sounds awesome, desu.
Brayden Price
I wonder what crippled nigga-kun (uploaded a video beating old monk) has to say to this crippled nigger
Leo Watson
Just tell these faggots to vote with their wallets. If you are shit at games, don't buy hard games
FUCKING SIMPLE
Joshua Perez
Go discuss games with "everyone" instead of hanging around with "Yea Forumsirgins" then, you disgusting normalfag.
Aiden Sanchez
But people do exactly that with classic literature all the time.
Elijah Campbell
There's no pleasure to be had without overcoming the challenge. The appeal of the game IS in obtaining mastery of the systems.
This is the dirty secret of these faggots. If you gave them what they wanted, they still wouldn't have any fun.
Jeremiah Miller
How does that cheapen the effort? One guy beats it with cheats, the other beats it properly, this doesn't make them equal in any sense.
Jordan Davis
what's the difference between nigga and nigger?
Brandon Carter
Go play a different game if you don't want to follow Sekiro's rules.
Jace Baker
They can’t win if they don’t try to force it as a moral issu. Rigteousness is a mindworm, after all.
Christopher Barnes
Those are different pieces of art.
Just watch this. I predict you won't, but hope you will.
youtu.be
Ayden Stewart
They don't have to give it to them. Oh, and personal info like CC details?
Mason Roberts
Easy mode would just open the door to lazy players and lazy devs and we should never open that door. You know, just like what happen when the door to welfare was open back in the early 1900s. Now most of the citizens are lazy and dependent on the government and all the colors wanting to get to America for the gibsmedats.
Carson Jones
Because now you have faggots in your community that know nothing yet claim they are your equal.
Nathan Foster
Bruh
Jaxon Harris
>surely your 2 millions game sold would be a lot better if there was [an easy mode]
By that logic it'd sell a hell of a lot better if it copied CoD and became a FPS. Why aren't niches allowed? Actually, why do you feel the need to find niches and destroy everything the current fanbase likes about them?
William Sanders
I hate how people pretend there isn't a social aspect to single player games. In every other medium, sure, but people somehow convince themselves that video games are played in a vacuum.
Joshua Morgan
how are games different than any other medium
Matthew Murphy
Normals have never respected vidya, hence the easy mode whining.
Oliver Perez
I just don't get why this is news to any of you. He wants to play an easy mode he can beat in a few hours and make a short shitty review of and act like he beat the game legit. Who cares? Stop paying attention to bad reviewers if this is an issue.
Jackson King
I just don't get why some faggots saying they beat the game even they actually did it on easy mode/with cheats changes your experience. There are less skilled annoying faggots in every game community already anyway.
Leo Cooper
They aren't. That's my point.
Andrew Peterson
What? They did?
David Powell
>it's a sacred act between two people who love one another

Michael Russell
Jim is contrarian for the sake of being contrarian. He claims the most polarizing opinion simply to get clicks.
Wyatt Taylor
Who listen to these people? Every days people just keep getting dumb and dumber. Why do people let a video telling what to do. Cant these half asses think for themselves.
Camden Scott
He says he doesn't want the easy mode but doesn't really care much if it was added. How fucking retarded can you be?
Kevin Myers
You underestimate normalfags.
Logan Green
Bring back cheat codes and make everyone happy
Brandon Cook
he's not fat enough to be "most people"
Anthony James
Why do you lie
Zachary Russell
How is that retarded? You don't have to take a strong stance on every issue out there.
I agree in that I think devs should do what they want for their games, they want an easy mode, let them add it and shut up about it, they don't add one, let them be and shut up about it.
Levi Myers
>He said it's a waste of time to argue about it because it's the devs choice not ours.
That really depends on how he said that. I can see journos turning on the devs with a "bring back power to the players" narrative. Gamers rise up to demand easy mode.
>You don't actually get to choose what you play, it's the devs choice to put in what they want. We need a democratic solution so the majority of players can enjoy the majority of games
Caleb Foster
If I was a developer I'd do this just to ass blast all the "gaming" journalists.
Charles Morales
He's calling OP retarded because OP is clearly misrepresenting the video.
Julian Murphy
Oh, I see. I am the retard.
Daniel White
He never said he did.
Nicholas Morris
Considering even most normies seem to view video games journalists with at least some contempt, I pray to god that wouldn't work.
Charles Perez
Such is life on 4channel
Andrew Powell
I thought he was at least capable of separating fiction from reality. He seemed like he was capable of it in some of the videos I watched where he was talking about video game violence.
Aiden Allen
One word has a at the end and the other has er.
Camden Harris
Not if it alienates your original fanbase most casuals don't play hard core games but with an easy mode it will possibly attract more casuals the casuals become the new majority and then the normal of the next game becomes as easy as the easy mode in the previous game and that's what we don't want casual players need to say to there games and hardcore say to there games
Dylan Wood
Jose Ramirez
Focusing on business over fun is how you become the western AAA market.
Fuck games as a service and fuck casual modes.
William Torres
>buy ninja gaiden 2 as a kid.

Why are people so soft now?
Justin Fisher

Nolan Jenkins
>fat tranny wants an easy mode
In other news, the sun is hot.
Hunter Sanders
No, he doesn't. Did you even watch the video retard.. or, you just had to be first to post something, cause you're a sad fuck.
Brody Nelson
The question being asked by the official Star Wars account specifically says "if you were in the Star Wars universe".
Nicholas Barnes
He's a commie faggot manchild that can't be competent in games...
Ryan Robinson
It's the same "people" who cry about sexism in games, AKA people who don't actually play them but just have a huge hate boner for the gaming industry.
Notice how the 'reason' why we need easy modes always changes every couple of years, its because in reality there is no good reason, people just want to bitch at gamers like usual.
Jack Lewis
No micro transactions in a non F2P game is cancer won't support a game that does this
Matthew Campbell
>From a business perspective it makes sense
You carve out a loyal customer base then decide to fuck them over in a gamble to get a larger playerbase that has a notorious turnover rate and you need to spend a fuckton on marketing just to remind them you exist. Not worth it.
Landon Lewis
I haven't been paying attention to this argument, what were the reasons before accessibility?
Daniel Howard
>Sekiro exposing all the shitters that summoned in every Souls game
Loving every laugh.
Juan Kelly
It's almost like Yea Forums's a bunch of retards who've decided that he's "pushing for easy mode" regardless of what he actually says.
Gabriel Green
I don;t get why people saying they read the greats when they only perused it on spark notes aren't a good portion of the literature community. I don't get why people who just watched snippets of the film on youtube aren't beloved by the film enthusiast community.
Daniel Rodriguez
Because of shrieking fuckheads like you.
Noah Hernandez
Gatekeeping. Basically, it was a polite way to say "women can't play these games, so you better dumb them down!"
Isaiah Edwards
youtube.com
This guy literally archives the history of arguments, "But the disabled though" is just the most successful one they've come up with.
Andrew Gonzalez
How is it so hard to just put down the fucking controller and take a break? Tackle the game when you're in a better mood. Learn from your mistakes instead of hitting your head against the wall. But no, instead we live in the era of instant gratification in our video games, where you just need to turn down the difficulty setting when you're challenged. I wonder if people would complain about Sekiro less if everything you did gave an XP indicator to please the smoothbrains.
Joshua Lewis
I'm surprised by the amount of people that actually had summons the entire game. Part of the charm was the lone journey, no outside info, just you and your wits. They really don't get what those games are about and have no place in this hobby.
Nicholas Campbell
>lost interest and just watched a lets play
This dude obviously doesn't even fucking like the games, why does he feel like he has to play them?
Not to mention the video of the quadriplegic being able to beat a late game boss proves this guy is a fucking retard.
Kevin Reyes
>just ignore it bro, let our shrieking fuckheads be the only ones
Henry Adams
>trans women are women
>representation in games is extremely important
Why would I watch this literal retard?
Brandon Barnes
Gatekeeping was the most popular one.
Juan Fisher
This, is he fucking retarded? Is he gonna go on a rant about fat manbabies complaining on YouTube next?
Angel Evans
You dont have to be a pro, you just have to not be shit at video games. Do you watch these people because you're similarly bad at games or what?
Jacob Butler
Only faggots. DaS II was harder than Sekiro and doesn't need it.
Oliver Hill
Essentially "devs shouldn't be forced to include an easy mode, but neither would having the **OPTION** to play on easy mode harm the experience, contrary to what the elitist gate-keeping fuckheads claim.
Matthew Clark
Isn't that basically the same thing as they're saying now, they've just changed from "You're gatekeeping women" to "You're gatekeeping disabled folks"?
Cooper Rogers
unless you have a jornalism degree you are not a jornalist user
Daniel Nelson
Empire is objectively the smart man choice tho
Josiah Reed
Fuck off Jim
Connor Cruz
Neither of these are actual debates like the whole easy mode thing though.
Hunter Sanchez
>Opening your stupid mouth when you haven't even watched the video you're arguing against
Are you fucking retarded?
Eli Cooper
Yes. Welcome to 2019.
Adrian Turner
Is the game really good? Because I'm willing to put in the effort to learn another autistic gameplay style but not for budget b team dorksouls
So is it really good or are you try hard memeing it because normies can't play it?
William Russell
Yes, which baffles me. The casuals need to be ousted from every community.
Joseph Johnson
Yes because they are running out of tricks, notice none of the people complaining about gate-keeping handicapped people are actually handicapped themselves.
Jaxson Ortiz
>all popular video games should be made for me, if they aren't made for me then the developers should obviously change their game so it is aimed at me! How dare they make something not for me!
Holy fucking shit I just fucking hate Amerifats and britcucks

Nice non-argument.
Alexander Davis

Jayden White

Holy shit, thanks for reminding me, faggot.
Ian Baker
Both. Despite all of the bitching done by journalists for the last few weeks, they still gave it high scores.
He jizzed on his face over an indie game featuring playable cocks, I think.
Cooper Morgan
Ooh, that sure showed that Reddit soiboy tumblrina libtard cuck!
Easton Parker
How course a fat fuck would want an easy mod, every fat fuck wants an easy mode or else they wouldnt be fat fucks
Julian Allen
Do journalists operate in a hivemind like vermin?
Leo Allen
I'm talking about the people who want easy modo in Sekiro.
Jim is still a fucking retard with horrible opinions even if he managed to figure that Sekiro just isn't for him. Him having a slight bit of common sense doesn't make him not a retard.
Kevin Ward
Nice buzzwords cry baby
Andrew Butler
Unironically yes, they are all connected with one another and share the same terrible opinions to aid them in forcing narratives.
Cooper Stewart
What's the point of beating a game that's supposed to be challenging on easy mode?
It's like going to one of those restaurants that offers one of those giant steak challenges and demanding credit for eating a typical 8oz steak
Andrew Brooks
based
Jaxon Martin
cmon Yea Forums
the idea of having an easy mode but youre restricted from seeing the true ending is such an good concept
why arent you for it?
James Gonzalez
Nathaniel Lewis
Casuals legitimately bring nothing to the communities they claim to be a part of. They don't bring unique perspectives, they don't bring good discussion, they don't bring expertise, they're just there taking up space and enabling the downfall of said media.
Jaxson Mitchell
He doesn't want an easy mode you fucking retards. Stop believing everything you read on the internet. Not liking the fat fuck is not an excuse to be intellectually dishonest or ignorant.
Jaxson Myers
If the game has an easy mode it does, if it doesn't it doesn't. Why can't people just accept that fact?
If the developer of the game wanted the game to have a option to be played like that, it would be in the game but it obviously isn't.
Why can't people just admit that they aren't so good at games, it's not even something to be embarrassed about. It's just a game.
A developer shouldn't bend for a small minority of shit "gamers" wheres the satisfaction on playing a intentionally hard game on easy mode? Don't people want the joy of beating something they have been working hard on? Or is it more of a status quo thing? Do people really wanna beat a game that badly? That they would need a easy mode or even cheat? Why not just work harder and get better? Sure you could beat the game by cheating, that's whatever you beat the game but you aren't excused of ridicule if you make it public, people are still gonna call you a scrub. So what do people truly want?
Ryder Butler

I thought it was going to say he was miserable playing on the hardest difficulty, but apparently normal mode is too hard for these fucks
Bentley Roberts
I can't imagine what it would be like to be bullied by a difficulty selection screen. They seem to realize it's a joke but they still let it get to them. This person would be a good fit for a cult, you could probably get them to do anything.
Jaxon Green
>He doesn't want an easy mode you fucking retards.
Then why make the video? And why are you defending him?
Matthew Russell
We've literally never seen imperial gubernatorial doctrine. They look more like a fucking dictatorship, we have no idea what kind of state they run beyond having a big evil wrinkly guy as a singular ruler.
Lucas Peterson
Aren't most of these talking heads just riding the wave of clicks generated by complaining for an easy mode? Do any of them actually want this? I doubt it.
Lincoln Watson
>most people want an easy mode
Literally not. Most want it to not have an easy mode.
Jonathan Stewart
A fat from Britain
Sebastian Brooks
They definitely do, they've tried to push this narrative for every hard game for a fucking decade.
youtube.com
An easy mode makes their jobs easier and their social structure more mobile.
Aiden Foster
I think it has to do with the 'consumer' mindset. You buy a game, therefore it has to please you in all manners you want, and if not, then how dare they not add an option for me after I brought it!
Honestly this is just the way things are gonna be until the next big hobby thing comes up and normies move over. I wish someone big in the industry would just stand up for all this bullshit but no company man would ever allow that to happen.
Nathan Miller
Because most people don't get all weird about the idea of someone else enjoying media differently than they do.
Colton Diaz
Who else should I follow for the latest industry news?
Adrian Torres
Yes, they do. Are you kidding? Nobody respects a cliffnoter's opinion on a fucking novel they like.
Chase Green
Based harmful.
Ian Diaz
What if we just took a step back and let the player decide what difficulty to play on line literally every decent game made since the 90s? Label the intended experience as such and the easy baby mode for the mentally handicapped as such? Or while I'm wishing add in the difficulty multipliers with no cap like some older games had and some indie games have. 1000x difficulty for real men and 0.1x for the flipper babies.
Christopher Diaz
They are serious because like said they see this as a job not a hobby.
The obvious response is just to pick another job then but most of these people lack the credentials to do anything else because "gaming journalism" is a fucking joke of a job.
Christian Cooper
Why does it matter what other people think about a book you like in the first place? They can't stop you from reading it or take away your enjoyment of it.
Noah Lewis

Maybe I'm the retarded flipper baby

Jason Nelson
What if instead we step back and let players play the games they want to and not play the games they don't want to. People have no self control, and the majority would play on the shit mode for babies.

Owen Hall
So? A bunch of other people play the baby mode. How does this stop you from playing the intended experience?
Brody Cooper
No, but it ruins your community and dilutes the group of people you can have a meaty conversation with. Also, by the nature of it being easier to be a casual than experienced, they will outnumber you in time and whatever community you had will become theirs. When most of a community's members have very little knowledge of said community or media the community is centered around, the community is effectively dead.
Aaron Long
Jim is a faggot
Chase King
If some retard that didn't even read the book saying he doesn't like it means you enjoy the book less, you're a weak minded idiot.
Jeremiah Roberts
>and the majority would play on the shit mode for babies.
Let them. It's a fucking single player game why do you care?
Jace Garcia
Because the casuals are going to be the vast majority of the community around said game and that's fucking awful, casuals ruin everything. And then, when the devs see their market is all casuals, the next game will be even worse, and then MORE casuals will flood in.
Asher Ross
the problem is that idiots will prefer this watered-down and quite frankly insulting version because it appeals to their walnut-sized brains.
"why would I read the superior and intellectually stimulating version when I can read this one? it's got emojis lol I love emojis xD #GenZPride #LGBTQ+ #FuckDrumpf"
Jack James
>you're a weak minded idiot.
Well I am here, aren't I?
Chase Sanchez
Yeah, but the sort of retard that wants to play Sekiro on easy mode isn't going to stick around in the community, he's gonna play it while it's the big flavor of the month, then move on to the next flavor of the month.
Benjamin Baker
Because games have communities and those communities are what decide future games and game discussion?
Isaiah Reyes
Game communities are a fragile and fleeting thing, and them being fuckawful for the entirety of the game's relevance just ensures the community dies faster.

all games should have an easy mode is just one of those things that sounds good to anyone who doesn't think about it.

You don't honestly believe that do you? I shouldn't even need to remind you of what came of fallout 4, fallout 76, and anthem, for low hanging fruit. I don't remember literally anyone, even retards, asking for that.
Landon Evans
"Most people" have zero passion for video games but want to be part of the scene because it's a popular thing and it gives them the opportunity to make money from shit videos on youtube and twitch.
In other words, they can fuck off up and down from the tip of my cock.
Asher Howard
I like how Jim just BTFO all the Soulsfags (I can't even call the Fromfags because they are too young to remember pre-Souls FromSoft) with this video and we are seeing the ripples of hurtbutt ITT.

Adrian Bailey
You could also just watch the video. He says he doesn't care, and that he's made the same video before (but from the opposite perspective) a number of years ago when StarFox Zero launched with an easy mode where you literally can't die. He goes on to say that the easy mode where you literally can't die didn't make the game any better, it's still shit, and if they removed that easy mode, the game would still be shit.
From there, he states that whether game has an easy mode or not is irrelevant, because as a gamer you should buy the games you enjoy and play the games you enjoy, in whatever way you enjoy.
He brings up examples of people modding Dark Souls games in the past to modify the starter classes to have better starting gear and stats, and that even if someone used something like that it's their decision and it's fine because it didn't affect his playthrough, so he doesn't care that someone "cheated" their way through a Dark Souls.
Likewise, he also compares the arguments against "game director vision" to speedrunners happily using OoB glitches to skip intended boss fights and sequence breaking the game, yet other gamers celebrate their exploits, despite it obviously bypassing the "director intended vision" of the game. So he also says here that the "director's vision" is irrelevant too.
All in all, he says he's tired of this trite shit discussion. Easy mode or not doesn't fucking matter. If you want to hack in an "easy" mode or use cheats, who cares, because that's your $60, not his, and he doesn't give a shit. And even games that suggest lowering the difficulty if you die a lot (DmC5) he says to fuck right off because he'll do it the proper way instead.
He's also aware that people will misquote him because he's centrist in this discussion on whether to never have easy modes or always have easy modes as belonging to one camp or another, as if this shit was partisan politics.

I dont want casuals to play video games at all
They have ruined far to many games already, Games have been getting progressively easier for a decade now in an attempt to "reach a wider audience" any time I hear those words I know the game will be worse than the previous installment
casuals are also the reason we have microtransactions in so many games
FUCK CASUALS IF THEY CANT PLAY ITS A GOOD THING
Cameron Morris
If you force someone to have sex, it's rape, not sex.

It's like bowling. You can make the lane shorter and use only 1 pin that you in fact kick with your shoe because scoring a strike like that feels fantastic...
But you will not be a bowling player. Ever. Same goes with Sekiro. You can finish it in an easy mode but you will not be a Sekiro player.
Blake White
They'd just score your game low for "Making the default difficulty unfairly difficult, while dangling a fruit in front of you which is a more reasonable run through the game, at an added cost."
Oliver Morgan

Because dev time has to go to making the baby mode work.
Is 25% less damage taken good for a baby mode? idk we need to test it and see.
Testing takes time, time that is now absent from creating the intended experience.
You people seem to think there is some magic button that just implements all this shit with one click, or that devs just sit around for a couple months before releasing the game.
I'm sorry to tell you this but neither of those are true, there is no magic button and the weeks leading up to the release of a game are almost always done bug testing, bugs that if left in could directly change the experience for players.
Nolan Butler
I don't really care if it had an easy mode or not, Sekiro was kind meh to me and I won't play through it again anyway
Though I still can't really understand the mentality behind wanting something the developer never intended to make. It just isn't a game for you if you don't like it

Why are disabled people such fucking narcissistic, self absorbed cunts? It's not about them. It literally has nothing to do with them or "ableism" (not a real word).
They clearly do not understand Miyazakis games, because an easy mode would ruin the design.

The whole point is so you can smack them if you have poor motor function, so precise aiming just isn't a thing you can do. It's a really neat controller but it's expensive as fuck for enough parts to have a full set, but all accessibility devices tend to be expensive as fuck because they can't get the cost down though wide market appeal.
Samuel Rogers
>he doesn't care that someone "cheated" their way through a Dark Soul
>he also says here that the "director's vision" is irrelevant too
I appreciate you taking the time to type up a summary, but these two points are so similar to the ones people heavily in favor of easy modes have been parroting for weeks that I can't help but feel like he just made a passive-aggressive version of their arguments for others to use.
Nathan Hill
Most people are not the developer. The developer decides who he makes the game for, not fat crying fucks.
Ayden Young
Difficulty settings shouldn't exist period. There shouldn't be a hard mode, nor should there be an easy mode. Give me the game as you want it to be presented, and nothing else. For an ARPG like Dark Souls, the range in difficulty comes from your starting class and your personal adaptability to it. The varying playstyles are a more personal difficulty slider (I found lances easier to use than swords, but that might not be the case for you), in a much more subtle, palatable way that doesn't make you feel like you're belittling yourself to picking a different difficulty setting.
Hudson Torres
Yes, I get that, that doesn't make me not want to have a STOMP TO KILL button.
Adam Torres
Most people are knuckle-dragging, window-licking mouthbreathers.
Isaac Parker
Too bad you get to eat shit and start over when you realize the class you picked is the hardest in the game halfway through with that system
David Morgan
I agree with you on some level but some games need difficulties. Games like Xcom or Civilization would be boring without difficulties because it's the intended way to learn the game. You play Xcom on an easier difficulty and learn the game then on future playthroughs and you can kick it up and use ironman mode to make it more difficult. You say they should "Give me the game as you want it to be presented" but the way they want it to be presented might be playing multiple playthroughs, rounds or games and upping the difficulty as you get better.
Jacob Jackson
It uses a really standardised input type for the devices, so you could get something like a pedal used by a stenographer and use it as an input. That way you could give it a proper stomp without breaking the button.
Elijah King
Foot pedals exist user, and they're really cheap. Follow your dreams.

Charles Gomez
In all, he's suggesting that if you paid $60, and if you really want to enjoy the game, you can look up cheats or easy-mode-mods and it wouldn't bother him.
Additionally, he also doesn't feel the onus of making an easy mode should be on devs because that takes time out of their work to make the game. So if it has an easy mode, cool. If it doesn't cool. He was going to play the hard mode, regardless, so its inclusion or exclusion never bothers him, nor does anyone else's opinion on how they wanted to play the game.
It's possible, as you said, that his intention was to make a passive-aggressive version of the pro-easy-mode discussion, but tone is a big part of the video, and if you want to waste 30 minutes of your life, you can watch the video yourself to make your own judgment on that matter.
But we all know watching 30 minutes of a fat e-celeb doesn't make our lives better, but I went ahead and took the fall and tries to compress the points into one post for the others here.
Up to you if you're inclined to watch it. (I've basically regurgitated it here already, so I'd say just save yourself 30 minutes of your day.)

Souring the experience and turning the game into tedious garbage in the process, when the fun option was literally right beside the option you chose. Good design.

Can't relate myself, if I get bored or stuck in Dark Souls I would just make a new character. For my first run of DS3 I was going back and forth between my pyromancer and my knight. And I don't think either was my actual first character created.

No, there's a video of some dude who probably has less motor function than this retard beating Corrupted Monk. Fuck, there's that pro Street Fighter player that plays with his fucking face.

These faggots literally have no excuse. If you have enough function to play a game, you can get good at it.
Henry Murphy
It's fucking hilarious how this whole discussion has managed to skirt around the answer to the question it originally brought up because it's so simple to answer and doesn't allow games journos to publish a bunch of nothing articles basically exclaiming "I suck" to the community. And it especially wouldn't allow them to use disable fat black dyke retards on Twitter as a shield from any criticism.
The question was originally "does Sekiro need an easy mode?" to which it is easily answered with "no". Sekiro is as FromSoftware intended it to be, they have a specific vision for the player experience and it's up to them how it can deviate. The dev is not compelled to deliver an experience as dictated by you and your abilities. It is their product and it is your choice as a consumer whether to buy in or not. It is up to you to accept the rules of the game and play.
So they shifted the narrative to accessibility and how there's so many people out there who just can't play such a high demanding game so therefore FromSoft should make it easier. Their proof? The Celeste dev detailed how it could have an assist mode. Again, the issue with this argument is FromSoftware is in no way compelled to do so, so you know....who cares what that Celestefag thinks. They also conflate accessibility with difficulty. Sekiro has a plethora of accessbility options (key/button remapping, controller support, subtitles, color correction etc).
So what's the fucking point of their argument? They just want to feel good about themselves without having to justify it with any merit. Imagine one of these fags crying foul because Arrogant Bastard Ale tastes bad and they prefer Miller Lite so therefore they think Stone Brewery should make Arrogant taste like Miller. It's such a dumb fucking argument that it deserves an equally as dumb food analogy.
Noah Watson
>just choose not to use things that make it easier
but don't hardfags complain that those things shouldn't even be there, and that having the option is too much?
Jeremiah Roberts
>souring
Sounds like it was a poorly designed game in the first place if it's flat out unfun to use an option the game gave to you. Why would an easy mode make that different, do you just want to be able to eat garbage more effectively?
Isaac Wilson
>I've basically regurgitated it here already, so I'd say just save yourself 30 minutes of your day.
I appreciate it and I mean that unironically.
Julian Carter
I unironically think these are a great thing and should actually shut down any arguments that games need to be made for disabled people. That's stupid, specialized hardware should be made for disabled people with a few rare exceptions and even those exceptions should be software made to alter other programs use like the windows color blind mode.

Honestly I just hate casuals. They're obnoxious and stupid, they ask the same fucking questions over and over and ignore any real points and repeat their own incorrect points about how it doesn't affect you.
I mean yeah you could explain that difficulty is important to the identity and story of some games or that it's an emergent part of gameplay and that lowering it isn't trivial. Or that making easy modes takes devtime. Or that easy modes incentivise games that are easy to make easy modes for. But there's no point, they're just going to insist that it doesn't affect you despite all evidence to the contrary.
So yeah, fuck casuals

Ironic given how cucked the sequel ended up being on every other narrative front.

Only people that want easy mode are journalists. I seen people with actual physical disabilities beat the game, so they can't use that as an excuse.
They only want an easy mode so that they don't get left behind in the discussion, because doing so would make them lose money and free ad clicks

>It's funny on the surface, but it's peer pressure. Don't listen to it.
No, please for the love of god, listen to it. Only babies play on easy mode, it's totally true. When I was a kid, I played the original game and being the scared little shit that I was and slow reaction having. I played on easy mode. When I stopped being so scared, I stopped playing on that difficulty and went up because playing on easy wasn't fun, at all.
As you develop, you obviously should need more stimulation and thus be inclined to play the harder difficulties. This coddling is making a bunch of slow learners. My Nephew is almost eight years old, still has to be told to go to the bathroom and can't even beat the first world of Super Mario Bros 3, while whining that "It's HARD" Bullshit. I completed that game at his age, I was playing Wolfenstein at his age. Why the hell are we regressing? Why are puzzles getting simpler, even in games which tout that they are a puzzle game and thus shouldn't shy away from having some out of the box shit? Stop whinging and work on improving yourself.

Ignore what you brain damaged ape? He doesn't want developers compromising their "vision" by implementing an easy mode if they specifically design their game to be difficult. He also acknowledges that what people do with their own games is nobody's concern but their own, because apparently despite being a literal faggot who ejaculates into his own face he manages to be more mature than idiots like you constantly bitching about it.
