FACT: No game has ever been ruined by the inclusion of an easy mode!
It's really sad that we live in a world where LAZY stuck up PRETENTIOUS game developers FORCE innocent players, PAYING CUSTOMERS no less, to hack their games in order to be able to enjoy them.
WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO "THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT"?
>WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO "THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT"? That went away after devs kept bitching on Twitter about their own customers, when the customer complains about anything.
Gongratulations OP, you just crafted the most annoying-to-read post in this entire web site. I'm actually shocked at how mad it makes me to read it.

disregarding the obvious logical fallacies, baiting and stupidity of the post >WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO "THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT"? i worked in CS and customers are universally almost never fucking right. they get this bullshit saying ingrained in them and stomp their fucking feet like children because "i'm always right!", where they almost never are. i fucking hate customers and i fucking hate big companies that enable this behaviour even more. "i'll complain to corporate!" and they do, and you get in trouble because for some reason, even though stacy ate her whole fucking meal, she complained it was bad and now she gets $100 in gift cards so she doesn't raise a stink. fuck customers, fuck them to hell.
it's alright, dont buy the hype and you'll have an ok time

How hard is it to remember like three or four attack patterns for a boss?
Andrew Foster
All these present day fags are oblivious to the fact all games today are fucking easy mode. Give them something from the '90s, they'd shit their brains out.
Adrian Wright
if you're a journo major / industry dropout that's only working in the gaming industry because otherwise they'd be homeless this is what you get
these people dont enjoy games, they dislike gamers and they can't put basic effort in on playing a video game in a time where everything is fucking casualized to hell
Colton Barnes
I run a retail location and you’re a fucking idiot. Bless the customers who complain. Bless them because for every one that actually gets the nut up to bitch at the manager (even if it’s only because they smell the free shit in the air), there are 15 that don’t. Those other 15 just don’t come back, and you lose their business.
If you’d ever been in the unfortunate position of trying to turn sales numbers around in a store with declining foot traffic, you’d understand.
Jayden Morgan
Change easy mode to good looking female and I agree
Jonathan Harris
excuse me?
i shouldn't have to memorize shit, this isn't high school or work, this is leisure time.
if i can't win on the first try then what's the point?
What was the name of the person she was dating, again?
Ryder Russell
In a world where every game can be made incredibly easy, I see no reason why a few can't be difficult by design.
Liam Ross
>i don't like challenge but i want to look at environments THEN LOOK AT A PICTURE BOOK GO OUTSIDE YOU NIGGER, THERE ARE CAVERNS YOU CAN WANDER THROUGH FREE OF BOSSES IRL what fucking insanity
Caleb Stewart
Why does this need to be an argument Why does this need to be a meme.
Yes, you are absolutely diminishing and/or entirely circumventing the intended emotions of the game's authors and ruining it as a holistic artistic experience.
No, it doesn't effect others when you cheat.
Some people just want to experience one aspect of a game. It's like ordering a steak well done, but it's what they want.
The real question is why they're playing the game at all and not just watching it
Michael Fisher
If you like metroidvania, then I don't see a reason why you wouldn't like Hollow Knight
Andrew Williams
>FACT: No game has ever been ruined by the inclusion of an easy mode! It lets stupid faggots into the community that cant even operate in the game as it was intended in the first place. Hard games MUST be exclusive, if you can't be bothered to learn the game, you dont like the game, you are just a poser that wants to be asociated with "the new thing" and will forget whenever you get that easy mode, probably not even finishing the game
so are vidya journalist just trying to discredit themselves in mass now? this would be like if someone from the academy admited he just fast forwards movies
Ryder Torres
They would have to have credibility first.
Alexander Richardson
Been seeing this thrown around here or there. Was there a meme or copypasta I missed out on?
Christopher King

even a shitty journalist will atleast pretend he has credibility because that draws in readers, these vidya journalist are just publicly anouncing they dont know shit about anything

How can people be this fucking garbage? I beat hornet first try easily. Then again women and journalists aren't people, mix them both and they're even lower than subhumans, they're sub-subhumans.

Caleb Brooks
>these people are allowed to review games using invincibility cheats ?? how does this lead to objective analysis of a game? im pretty fucking glad i only use user reviews these days, we didn't used to be so lucky with review aggregators like steam and metacritic
No, vidya journalists are under the assumption that they can't be discredited because the media will go to defend them from any kind of criticism solely because anyone who plays games are bad people
Parker Gomez
>can't beat hornet
Oh boy. That's like saying you're a racing commentator who doesn't know how to drive a car.
Tyler Baker
I enjoyed Borderlands 1&2 more with hacks, so there's that.
Noah Price
45 hours? I got 75 hours and that was before i gave up on nightmare king grimm. I didn't even go back for godhome.
Nathaniel Williams
WHAT IS IT WITH TRANNY GAME REVIEWERS THEY DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO PLAY GAMES
>giving up on the first kino fight Come on man. I feel you though, took me quite a few attempts to beat him but that fight was the first actual sick/challenging fight. I gave up on the 3rd colloseum trial though, fuck that cancerous shit.
I feel fine when they call it "Story Mode" too. Personally I would prefer games just had a single difficulty though. Discussing a game with multiple difficulties is always disrupted by the differences. "I was able to do X to win!" 'lol you shitter you were probably only on easy mode that doesnt work on legendary', etc.
Carter Flores
they are genuinely bad at video games just a year ago they were all embarrassed to admit they weren't even playing the fucking games they were reviewing take this for example: ign copies some small youtubers review youtube.com/watch?v=eKF6xnvaCsE
just recently they have been making this other people's issues by saying games need an easy mode and hard games are not 'abelist' enough
bring back gamergate 2bhonest, these fucking trannies need to be purged again
>I enjoyed Hollow Knight more when I cheated So what? I might enjoy Hellboy more if you take out every single part of the movie except one particular shot of Milla Jovovich, that doesn't mean I enjoy Hellboy.
Kevin Long
>FACT Stopped reading there
Isaac Baker
main game Hollow Knight isn't even hard
Hunter Phillips
it would be more like watching hellboy but he literally has no risk of dying and actually cant even be hurt wow wouldnt that be fucking exciting
Jaxson Thompson
Maybe if you fucks weren't always too stupid or incompetent to get the simplest orders in the world right. Or if you didn't try to jew your customers out of what has been established as part of an order for years and make them have to request it and pay extra.
Christian Adams
>using caps lock to emphasize a retarded point
KILL YOURSELF.
Charles Brooks
Imagine being a hollow knight dev and just cringing at some fagget that cheated their way through your game, they didn't learn how to play, all those fucking hours to make the game feel challenging/learning experience all thrown out the window by some low iq motor skill disabled retard.
>Useless FEMALE playing games and unwilling to master game
Jordan Walker
I cheat at strategy games because I'm a literal retard who can't figure that shit out
Tyler Long
My girlfriend is a fucking idiot. >Want to turn the ceiling fan on >pull the light cord on the fan >Light goes off >"uh oh" and goes to flips the light switch >light still isn't on >Pulls the cord again >Light switch is off so nothing happens >flip the switch >Pulled cord an even number of times so it's off still >repeat this for three minutes until she gets me to "fix it"
Now imagine that for almost anything that requires some level of thinking in your daily life. Now imagine this person beating Hollow Knight.
This article writer has to be dumber than that.

Every game does have an easy mode. What the fuck is Twitch for if not that?
Jaxson Martinez
then just cheat what's the fucking problem

to be honest, everybody has a blue screen moment every once in a while, but your girlfriend sound really fucking dumb. like american reality tv dumb.

non nigger argument: include very easy, easy, medium, hard, very hard nigger argument: OMFG!! ONLY VERY HARD AND IF A SECOND OF TIME IS SPENT ON ANY OTHER MODE IT WILL DETRACT FROM THE REST OF THE GAME!!
Parker Gray

Angel Sullivan
People are only against easy modes because journos want them and they are the enemy in the "culture wars", otherwise nobody would care...it's even more obvious because this kind of shit only happens when a game uses difficulty as a marketing point
Blake Johnson
>game uses difficulty as a marketing point >dont like difficulty >buy it anyway >complain that the game is difficult
Jason Rodriguez
>WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO "THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT"? That only worked when the U.S./Europe were majority white and actually cared about consumer affairs/etc.
Now corporations cater to the non-white masses who are content with whatever shit the gaming industry sends their way.
Look at MK11 for example: >intentionally make towers of time hard as fuck for the vast majority of gamers >add the option to skip fights with tokens >charge for these tokens
Retards/non-whites will argue this is about challenge/blah blah nigger bullshit. 110+ IQ'd individuals will see it for what it is: blatant jewry on a massive scale, scamming players into just buying a fuckton of tokens to literally pay to win.

Andrew Clark
Imagine how many more sales Sekiro would have if there was a normal mode, where hits from enemies/bosses did 5-10% damage each (1:1 to your own damage output) instead of 40-60% in 1 hit.
Julian Morris
What you've just posted is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. 0/10
Kayden Bennett
>>'dude that shit has 2.5 million scoville. no human on earth could possibly eat this. that's a terrible analogy when even quadriplegics can beat the game
>"this is too spicy!!" >next table has a toddler eating the "spicy" burger without issues
Nolan Cruz
true dat
Jack Hughes
Keks my shit up how these people who's job is to literally play video games cant do it and still have a job.
Grayson Diaz
>At no point stopped reading there. I bet you typed that up by memory too. Take your faggoty (((Adam Sandler))) replies back to /r/eddit, queer.
Ryan Garcia
Yeah wtf, customers get treated like actual shit in the video game industry. One of the only industries where the people making the product constantly insult the people who buy the products. Video game industry is Hollywood as shit now which is why you have impressive amounts of arrogance and God awful award shows now.
Samuel Cook
actually good analogy bro. >real life retard walks in and just eats 80 dragon chilis straight >goes to the hospital to get his stomach pumped >gets $80,000 medical bill for hospital stay If only darwinism worked in the video game world.

Connor Torres
obviously you didn't meet the IQ threshold to understand that post, darkie.
Joshua Lopez
>read: I play games for personal validation and power fantasy, not to actually solve problems and overcome challenges
Joseph Wood
It doesn't apply to art, only services that exist purely for the benefit and convenience of the customer
Oliver Cook
lol no, just read a guide if you're stuck. I have a lot less patience for difficulty after becoming a productive adult with shit to do and little time to play games so I can't really bash my head against problems all day like when I was a kid or a NEET, so I just look shit up when I don't know what to do.
Most of these bosses have a trick that you figure out through trial and error. Sekiro annoys me because a lot of the boss fights discard some of the basic fundamentals of how you're taught to play the game and encourage you to cheese them or play dark souls against them. But I'm not enough of a bitch to turn on godmode just to play the game.
Isaac Collins
Unironically, if you look to video games as a way to learn to overcome challenges, this world will eat you alive when you're old enough to work.
Nicholas Gutierrez
i like how people tried to excuse it by saying lol hes just bad at these kinds of games when he sits there with instructions on how to pass this area written in the background and he still cant figure it out. There's even a diagram there. Jump on the box, hold for high jump, then hit Y right where it says Y lmao
Samuel King
They all get killed or bought out. Its basically impossible to do it and survive now that the ruthless megacorps are involved

>Games Journalists: WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO "THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT"? >Also Games Journalists: WHY ARE GAMERS SO MEAN TO ME? IF THEY DON'T LIKE MY OPINIONS THEY SHOULD GO AWAY! NO ONE IS FORCING THEM TO FOLLOW ME!
Jack Flores
"hollow victory" indeed
Austin Smith
It's not bad, but other than pretty good art it's really nothing special. Abilities are by-the-book MV fare, combat gets old, charms don't fundamentally change how you play any given boss battle, and the map system is kinda fucking stupid. It's well-known due to standing out from the other 12 billion indie MVs and not being complete garbage.
Grayson Barnes
>easy mode >potentially raped anytime in public alone. Especially at night Lol kys
Josiah Green
Hollow Knight isn't even hard save from Godmaster.
What kind of fucking shitter are you that you need to cheat on HK of all games?
Ryder Wilson
>he buys a game to not play it next you'll tell me you look up how to get the good ending on choose your own adventure books
Lucas Anderson
Y'know what I think?
I think every game needs a (TRUE) HARD mode.
Yeah, the "neurotypicals" might be satisfied with EASY (see: """normal""" or even """hard""") modes, but our neurodiverses aren't.
Games without TRUE HARD modes so hard that no neurotypical can beat it aren't inclusive enough.
And they're racist against asians.
Blake Hill
see: point proven
Ethan Howard
>WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO "THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT"? It never applied to art. /thread
David Rodriguez
>WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO "THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT"? Your proving it with that statement. That phrase was created to show entitlement of customers from the business perspective. Originally said by owners about customers. Essentially, the better way to state it is the customer believes they are always right.
I refuse to think that this is real and not just an elaborate ruse. That or the reviewer was unironically drunk as shit.
Jayden Peterson
While I agree no game has ever been harmed by the inclusion, there should be no need or obligation to include said easy mode. It's especially silly with games like Sekiro when people are basically just upset that the game demands more than nothing.
Justin Campbell
>FACT: No game has ever been ruined by the inclusion of an easy mode! Counterpoint: the non-optional nerfing of Furi's difficulty on Switch made it the absolute worst version of the game. They even recently made it worse with an invincibility mode.
Blake Thompson
If game is too hard for you, then this game is not for you. Developer vision > accessibility for everyone
Hudson Allen
Video games are considered art by governments, the definition of the word, and universities. >Well I think they're not art Art is a super generic term and doesn't seem to have the meaning you think it does. A child drawing a picture of her mom with crayon is art.
