So How Do We Feel About "Easier" Modes Creating a More Fun Experience?

[CoolinInTheCut]

Even though I mostly play on higher difficulties, I'm all for adding different difficulty modes and accessibility settings for people to play games how they want to.

I never understood the crowd that wants to gatekeep difficulty in their favorite games or genres.

The DMC 3 was so humiliating

I do feel that since a lot of us dealt with Difficult Games even in our faves(and ones that had Cheat Codes to input to lessen said Difficulty) during the 8 Bit that the next Gen should be subject to the same

Nothing wrong with molding The Game so that your Gaming experience is Smooth as possible,your gonna get the same result(Ending)as anyone else anyway

Grew up on the 8bit/16bit gen so difficulty is whatever... depends on if im into the game or not.

But if given the choice now I'm picking the easier difficulty off top.

really depends, if I'm playing a retro game I'll save scum my ass off. they intentionally jacked up the difficulty on games back then to discourage renting so I'm getting my lick back

but on the other hand there's shyt like that kotaku article where dude said he cheated on the final boss of sekiro and I'm like why would you even play a game like that if you're gonna cheat? not like it's got a gripping story u just gotta see to the end

It's good, I saw a chick who never even played games before get recommended TLOU part 1 and tried it and loved it.

I watched some her clips on tiktok, helluva first game to start with lol

 

[Ironman]

Yeah, once I saw her I was like I see what Sony is doing. TV Show>game pipeline is easy to spot. Makes sense to have a remake/remaster of a popular show out so that people like this may get pulled into the ecosystem. She never played a video game before and just went with TLOU since everyone was saying "The game is better." in her comments.

I usually play games on the default/normal settings. Most of the time, they were designed to be played that way. When you go "easy", it's almost comical. When you go to the hard or expert modes, enemies tend to be spongy but not smarter. You just waste more resources and have longer fights.

If I want a challenge, I'll play the Soulsborne-ish games like Sekiro, Elden Ring etc. Those games were designed around being more challenging.
