i saw this based AF image over 10 years ago and never picked easy mode again.

But people are not equal.

How does a game become 'equal'. The fuck does that even mean?

you can modify your health by collecting 4 prayer beads. also you can in a sense reduce your enemie's health by increasing your attack power through obtaining boss memories.

The same people who say games shouldn’t add easy modes because of artistic vision are the first ones to ask for Hard Mode if they feel a game is too easy.

Change my mind.

Nobody has ever said that

But that's not equal. People don't come at it from the same background and lived experience. For an incel like yourself to has done nothing but play videogames for decades and can spend all day doing so sekiro is easy. For an adult who has friends and a job, perhaps physical ailments like an workplace finger accident it can be very hard. So you see the same challenge is not equal.

>play chess

>ask for a do-over of my last turn

these people don't even enjoy games for the sake of it. They are just passive consumers and addicts of mainstream media.

Yeah. At some point you need to come to terms that being handicapped imposes certain limitations on you. Anything requiring manual dexterity and reflexes probably falls under that. Life sucks and you drew the short straw, mate.

JUST MOD IT YOU FAT FUCK

>Let's be real here, we all know the true reason why
I don't. What's the true reason?

I don't actually care about people asking for an easy mode. It's the flawed, disingenuous reasoning that's annoying.

newsflash video games aren't a commodity they are a luxury. if you cant play video games fuck off. just like you wont see this fat fucker mountain biking or rock climbing.

>difficulty settings is controversial
What.

But that literally makes it not equal anymore.

>or an adult who has friends and a job, perhaps physical ailments like an workplace finger accident it can be very hard.
maybe that someone who doesn't have the time to invest should be playing a game like that. it would be like me complaining I didn't have time to raid in everquest and expecting the game to cater to me.

Putting limitations on yourself is much easier than demanding your toy manufacturer to add entirely different features. If you want a hard mode, give yourself less.

A fucking quadriplegic beat it

>play sportsball
>real athletes run circles around me
>"Could you guys slow it way down, and maybe stay away from me while I have the ball?"

Equality of opportunity>>>>Equality of outcome

Dude, fuck off. Just play God of War or something that caters to your very western attitude of being mediocre and expecting everything to be easy.

This campaign is purely political and has less to do with this game being a "must play" and more it being a socio-political spat over another non-issue.

Sekiro isn't even that grand an experience.

So it's always been right to be anti-sjw?

Cheating never ruined the fun before. People are just posturing because durr epic gamers such as myself don't NEED cheats to beat the game so nobody should have them.

Yes you do, I don't have to explain what's understood.

Pic related is an "accessible" puzzle game. That's reasonable, like adding remappable controls. But the creators of Rubik's Cubes shouldn't be obligated to add a button that solves it automatically. And that wouldn't be an equal experience even if you suck at them.

It's cool to watch one solve itself though.

Does anyone remember that short story about how everyone had to be equal. handsome or beautiful people had to wear masks, strong people, weights, smart people dumbed down artificially....
It has an old story from... the 80's or 90's... or even older, and the was a dancer who had to get her leg's broken I think. i thought it was retarded as a kid, and it's still retarded now OP...

This is how I think of it. You know how after you exercise you feel accomplished? or say you're a drawfag, and you spend hours working on a piece of art, and you're happy with how it turned out, or you decided to plant a garden and do some landscaping, and make a nice big display surrounded by rocks, greenery and flowers, and you're happy with your work.

Now imagine instead that you just instantly have the benefits of exercise with no effort, you just printscreen and copy paste your picture and its instantly made, and you just get someone else to pop the zen garden into existence for you. No work required.

dunno about you fags, but I feel satisfied when I have to work hard for something.

Do you have ONE fucking post citation to back up this faggotry? While people posting about wanting an easy mode are using the handicapped, minorities, and every excuse under the fucking sun to say an easy mode is needed; I can see ZERO fucking examples of people demanding a hard mode and using some minority as a scapegoat to get it.

literally would not be an issue if it was PC exclusive because trainers exist
Consoles are perpetuating cycles of oppression and erecting arbitrary barriers to inclusion

Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut?

I just started playing sekiro this week and I don't see what's so bad about an easy setting. That being said, I hate when groups try to pressure a creator into doing something. More importantly though, from soft is a dumb as fuck and stuborn dev that still can't figure out after 4 games on pc how to do basic shit like coding the tutorial text to show the keyboard key instead of the controller input, so I wouldn't expect too much

That's the one.
youtube.com/watch?v=MjQUIxPXuXQ

If you're a wageslave with no time, then don't seek a time intensive hobby. Even an easy game needs time to complete.

Accessibility is a great discussion to have in gaming, but expecting every game to cater to your outlier case is ridiculous. Devs shouldn't receive flack for lacking accessibility options nor does that make their game lesser for not having them. It's frustrating that grown adults are throwing fits when something's not specifically made for them.

I don't mind people asking for that. I just hate the whole philosophy about games some of these people have. They act like we should strive for a world where every game would appeal to everybody equally. It's a lot better to have a huge variety of games so everybody can find something that appeals to them. But apparently saying not every game is for you is "gatekeeping" now.

The new God of War is pretty difficult

I sliced up my thumb at work the week I was playing sekiro and that didnt stop me from beating the game in about 25 hours total. stop being a fucking bitch. fucking casual sois need to fuck off from my video games.

If you just want cheats I don't think you have to bug the devs for them, if you don't want to learn a cheat program I'm sure other people make convenient trainers you can use easily.

Question: Is there any way to add input lag to a controller/game? I'm half tempted to record myself playing Sekiro with 0.5s-1s input lag just to prove that "m-muh reaction times" is not a valid argument.

It’s only tough for someone willing to put it on give me god of war

I don't know what you mean. However it was surprisingly difficult, much more so than the previous ones. The valkyrie fights came near soulsborne boss difficulty. Not quite as hard but certainly not an easy game.

Just watch movies if you're too stupid to manage controller inputs. That's the end goal here, to remove the last bits of game from video games and make them movies that cost $60 to see.

So with all these faggots on easy mode

Who here /hardestmodedefault/?

if the dev really wanted to do it, then they did, Im fine. probably I will be not welcome to the idea of just adding easy mode fro catering to more broader audience, but thats ok. but what irritates me most in this discussion is that they pejorate the creators intention, what they want to realize in their games without any hesitation, saying "it should be", "not adding easy mode is just a sing of ableism" etc. this forced narrative is stupid, and the toxic one that eventually destroys creativity of developers and variety of gaming culture. just let them do what they want.

>breeze through game

This is why.

I almost exclusively play on hard mode except when all it does it make enemies take forever to kill.

Wrong,
the real easy mode for life is being a white women in the west.

Lower your framerate? Thats as close to a delay that I can think of

Either that or increase the deadzones through controller apps.

always hardest mode but like said if its boring bullet sponge shit I go down a notch until its not unfun.

They really don't. If they are getting themselves into a From game, they should already have some expectations about difficulty and if they can't handle the artist's vision of the obstacles they want the player to experience then maybe it's time to switch games.

Nothing will ever be equal. Anyone who is striving for equality instead of embracing inequality is either a retard or an intellectual charlatan.

People who argue that there should be an easy mode are morons.
The creators created the game the way they wanted, if you don't like it, don't play it, you're not entitled to be able to finish games, and you're not entitled to have particular games be difficult.

I rarely play games that don't have some kind of hard mode already.

Give me God of War mode was the hardest mode in GOW2018

I did it and all I got was some fucking shields. I didn't even bother with New Game + by the time it came out. I also only couldn't beat three Valkyries. One in Niflheim, one in Midgard, and Sigrun because I didnt get to her.

The hardest bosses by far were

Pokemon

this. there are ricefarmers in vietnam who will never play sekiro. what about their accessibility?

Equality to a lefty means bringing everything down to mediocrity so that even a wheelchair bound retard can achieve somthing

My gripe is that they already have so much in life that caters to them, left greed has no end

Hold on there user, it's like you're saying a product should be how the creators want it to be. This is some grade A bullshit you're spewing, it needs to be to MY tastes.

Pokemon had a hard mode in BW2.

Non gamers should be forcefully strapped to a chair and made to watch a full play through of the game with a controller taped to their hands so that they can experience it in the name of equality.

Start with yourself then.

fpbp

YouTube is the only easy mode anyone needs.

Yeah, from should add a accessibility mode so those people that think they have no disabilities can realize they are actually fucking retards.

That is why there was cheats in old games, to please casuals and people who just want to mess around.

And people have asked for it every game since.

Can these people fuck off to other hobbies? If they cannot appreciate something if it's too hard for them they should leave immediately and find something else to do. I don't see anyone trying to dumb down any other hobby except games and videogames

What he's saying here is an insult to the entire disabled community. I work with the disabled and the dude in the OP runs a charity that gets somewhere around a half to one MILLION DOLLARS a year. And it's not like the fucker doesn't already have and use the hell out of cheat engine. Hell, hire out cheatengine to make a universal disabled and journalist mode.

They have in the past. It's bitching about how paintings aren't accessible to the blind. Now we can actually DO shit to let blind people experience paintings, and that's great, but that's not on the painter, and it's not the same thing as a painting, and most importantly, it's not fucking oppression if the painter doesn't do it.

Which is more a matter of every game since BW2 being completely and utterly inferior in terms of content and features.

why is it always a fat ass?

Cheats in game or with Gameshark were always fun for messing around. I just dislike the argument that games all need to appeal to everybody equally.

Glitch runs are more accessible and disability friendly, patching out glitches is anti-disability

You make a fine point

And real life should be altered as well to accommodate for the incels and no longer shall they be ostracized and prohibited from roastie sex

We're all about equality after all right?

If my grandfather of almost 70 years old can learn to play street fighter and black ops online, journos can play on normal.

Make prostitution legal and a government run utility. Getting sex needs an easy mode.

Would like a hard mode for pokemon, but I dont go on a social media crusade just because it isnt there.

>I should be able to win EVO with the health handicap turned up because I am disabled and that is equality

I just don’t play or warn people away from games I think are unsatisfyingly easy.

literally lives life on easy mode with government assisted money.

>bragging rights
Man, I agree that forcing the devs to put in an easy mode is dumb but beating a Souls game is not a fucking impressive feat of skill. It's a pattern recognition and learning game, it's fun but it isn't something you should be particularly proud of.

Why does every single game have to be for everyone? Why can't these people accept that if they don't like how a game is made, they dont have to play it?

But it is protecting the artistic vision. The difficulty is the only thing this damn game has. Strip it away and what do you have left? A mediocre story, decent visuals, and a weak climbing mechanic.
Why don't we just remove the need to jump in Mario? People who don't want to jump shouldn't have to jump to enjoy the game.

All games should have "Journalist Difficulty" where their character takes 0 damage from anything and they 1 shot every enemy in the game including bosses. Just lean all the way into the complaining about difficulty and create a new mode that makes it laughably easy and boring.

You can have some internal sense of accomplishment or whatever, but "bragging" about it is comically fucking dumb. You sat on your ass for an hour or two memorizing a boss, great job.

This is the guy who stands for accessibility for crippled people, right?
From his standpoint, his argument is valid. He's not a games journalist who hates games, but a guy whose body will not move in a way that allows him to play the game.
His flaw, however, is in asking for the game itself to be modified. Merely going from start to finish is not experiencing the game. It sets a bar, and you're challenged to pass it. I can see his argument for modifying game speed, but not for inflated health pools. The best option is an improved human-to-game interface that makes the game accessible. Instead of blaming the game, he would to better to blame the controller.

Summoning is easy mode though. You're literally calling in someone else to beat the game for you like the Super Guide in a lot of Nintendo games.

It'd have to be actually good though, different movesets for bosses rather than just increasing the numbers. I can do level 1 runs if I want everything to one shot me.

cringe

yeah tweaked movesets would be nice. faster attacks would be essential because most of the bosses are slow as shit. fewer healing items and fewer bonfires would really help make the rest of the game more tense. also prevent bonfires from resetting enemies, but still allow them to respawn enemies. that way you can't just sprint past enemies and quickly hitting the next bonfire

Food for thought: If you can't progress in skill-based games, then stop playing them and go after something much easier, something that does not require reaction time or frontal lobe, like movie games.

>food analogy
Fuck off.

That's called capitalism, brother.

>if a game is skilled-based it needs ways to be made easier, negating said skills

But being a gamer is hip right now so they need to play video games.

You are no more entitled to an easy mode than I was entitled to a better ME3 ending. But since you're a baby cuck who can't beat a game despite it being fair. I'll cut you in on a deal: I'll beat Sekiro for you and it'll be our little secret but first.

So glad From made the right call and is just ignoring you spastics until you tire yourselves out.

If a game is too easy the design is shit to begin with (or just aimed at children), the dev clearly had the intention of making every interaction something to breeze through, creating a hard difficult option wouldn't solve anything as the puzzles, level designs are overall challenges are toned down at its core
You cant change that on some options menu
