@mogan: hmm fair points. I guess the topic of difficulty is a tricky one, a murky thing for sure. I guess the the one point I can make about not everyone gets to have fun is not every game is not for everyone, which is a good thing.
Like my wife recognizes any souls game she won’t even attempt because of difficulty, but she knows her lane, she’s completely fine co op playing Borderlands series with me or playing fortnite.
@mogan: I mean it makes sense right? One setting across the entire game translates to balancing the game one time, while a game with say 3 settings means rebalancing and several times taking away resources to fine tune the game.
And without difficulty settings, you’re playing the game the way the developers intend it. Everyone’s on the same page.
@hardwenzen: no that’d be unwise, as I haven’t played surge, can’t give a take.
But yes, many people love Nioh and the Reddit communities of fromsoft souls games love them too. Stop acting like people hate them on average, you’re just projecting your own feelings and giving blanket statements that people don’t like them because it’s harder for you to admit you’re wrong.
@kutraz: easy logic. So if they add difficulty settings cause people cry for it, now I have a game with difficulty settings, and games with them don’t know how to properly balance the game, which obviously affects me. With no difficulty settings, they can make the game 100% as intended, an even playing field for all.
@nilsdoen: then why does nioh have really high ratings on literally every website? Just cause you don’t like it, doesn’t mean it’s bad. You’re one person compared to many.
@hardwenzen: *looks at open critic* hmm the high praise for both games says otherwise. And if you don’t like them, then you’re the exception not the standard.
@illegal_peanut: this is soo weird… why do you care if they’re lazy. Most gamers just wanna play a good game. I don’t care if they copied someone else’s homework, or weren’t innovative, mystical, blah blah whimsical words. Just make good game and I play, that’s it. Copy good things I like from other games and put it in yours. Good. Now I got 2 games I like.
