Edit - Just to be clear, not focusing on this particular game, but focusing on that fact that a giant like Microsoft thinks the “Get Gud” attitude in games needs to “Git Gone”.
I support lowering standards whenever possible because the more people comfy at the bottom, the better for me. It makes them easily exploited if they have no standards or willpower to achieve anything.
J/k. This is silly and an obvious ploy at mass appeal.
Depends on game, never played that one so can’t tell. If it’s like Crash Bandicoot, then no, 1 difficulty all the way, if it’s story focused game, then yeah difficulty ease is a good option, I did same in Witcher 3, reducing difficulty so I don’t stress too much while playing and just enjoy the world and story.
Keep it out of From Soft games, is all. Learning the beats of the game in a challenging environment is part of that experience.
(Been seeing lots of ‘it’s time for FromSoft to add a difficulty setting’ tweets and editorials lately. It’s not now or has it ever been time for that)
Literally impossible to implement. In a single player story based game sure you can just make it impossible to die. But in a mmo or multiplayer game? You cannot implement any similar thing that doesnt completely ruin the whole idea of what gaming is. You would end up only making a “game” that no one plays.
Not sure–I don’t know why anyone would want to play a game that you continually fail at. When I’m out golfing I don’t see it as a competition just something to do and improve at.
Games with God-Mode are stress relivers. Why can’t you accept that?
I’ll never understand how some people see games that have very easy and easy modes as some kind of an affront to their existence. That’s like being the most competitive basketball player around then suddenly realizing because you’re so good no one wants to play with you. Shocker.
Git Gud is like something one Starcraft parlor player says to another. It’s never been a blanket statement about internet gaming. Yeah it’s dumb and it’s pretty much the antithesis of my gaming culture, which is to chillax and see how much gets done accidentally.
so the saying meme from the soul games is not healthy lol
well facing pikachu and snorlax is fun after 200 deaths and one cheese with -the invisibility ring do not try the ai will go bonkers-
beating them was the greatest moment in my playthrough
