Core part of the experience. I never invade but I enjoy being summoned against invaders. The whole community is supposed to change because candy asses won't learn the game?

Stick with whatever else you're doing. Final Fantasy, Assassins Creed and whatever bullshit Unfairrepresent mentioned.

Let one of the last old school bastions of gaming do it's thing. There is a clear and fair path to participation if you're serious.

but if i can't beat a game that means it's not accessible! Forget getting better!

yes

NJ being the most densely populated state could be the ultimate test of vaccines in the US. If we get overrun after listing mask mandates according to the CDCs recommendations, every state will probably be considering going back to social distancing and stuff. If our cases continue to go down then it'll be a successful experiment and the US will pretty much completely open up again.

The subreddit seems to believe the health emergency is over and Murphy is abusing his powers. https://www.reddit.com/r/newjersey/comments/nh4uvl/what_is_happening_with_assembly_bill_a5777/

How has Murphy been as governor outside of this?

I remember him running and the Democrats winning a supermajority in the state legislature in like 2017 but that's it

He's been alright, imo he hasn't really had a chance to do much before this COVID thing happened. He was sworn in in 2018, so he had about 2 years before shit hit the fan.

---

yes

Governor and top democrats want to keep Murphys executive power even after the public health emergency ends
Republicans are saying murphy has too much power and basically wanna limit him. The bill was rejected today that would end the health emergency but keep the eviction moratorium, mask mandate, utility shutoffs, etc..

This will be interesting how this turns out.

https://www.nj.com/coronavirus/2021/05/plan-by-murphy-top-dems-to-end-njs-covid-health-emergency-is-suddenly-in-trouble.html

So Murphy could either say fuck it, and just keep extending the emergency, or bow to the R's and basically set the state free like our neighboring states. Either way is gonna be huge.

I thought the point of the destroy ending was that it destroyed all synthetic life... including the geth.

and they will be rebuilt. space lord says as much

yes

You end the Reapers and then what? Synthetics eventually kill organics?

yes

disc gaming is irrelevant nowadays. Either way you have to install games and download updates, if your internet is absolute dogshit or capped sure, but digital saves gas and time waiting for gamestop to open or amazon to deliver

I mean, there's demand for it, since it's come up several times. If it would make the game more accessible to more people, I think that's a great reason for one. That would include people who would play on Easy to get comfortable and then move up to the real game.

I think people would be perfectly satisfied with that. Plenty of games lock certain features away from easy mode.

Sure, but "easy" mode of a difficult game doesn't need to be braindead easy. A slightly reduced difficulty mode would still provide sufficient challenge to weaker players, and vice-versa to harder difficulties. Not every player's skill level is going to be the same, so it's not as if a sole difficulty mode provides a uniform challenge to all players.

if FROM cared about making their game accessible to 5 year olds, they would have. Ask not how the game can adjust to you, but how you can adjust to the game.
Literally the only thing Souls has going for it is its challenge and the feeling you get with overcoming it. Outside of its difficulty its a mediocre RPG

and like I said, theres already built in easy modes, it's called multiplayer. You can literally just co-op the entire game if you're that much of a coward and be OP for a NG+ run

So? The challenge of basketball is to make a baske on a ten foot hoop, doesn't mean you can't have hoops of varying heights.
So much gate keeping in this thread for the sake of gate keeping.

lmao the only time people change hoop size is if they're little kids. We've had standard size rims everywhere i've gone with a basketball hoop. So are you saying only little kids want an easy mode?

---

yes

just make the easy mode for dark souls and monster hunter and all those mario and zelda games, but make it so you get locked out of most of the features, you only get a barren experience. No multiplayer, no DLCs, no G-rank, etc..

---

yes

E_S_M_Z posted...

Sure, either way works. Meaning there's no reason to be against an easy mode. Glad you agree. :)

Glad you also agree there is no reason for an easy mode :)

So in other words, it can have multiple difficulties and still be successful? Thanks for clarifying.

So in other words, games can have one difficulty and still be successful? Thanks.

Hi guys!

So, what are some games that have been RUINED by having an easy mode? Must be loads of them, right?

So what are some games that are successful and don't have selectable difficulties or easy mode? I'm sure theres loads of them.

It's always the same.

"It should have an easy mode to make it more fun". What you're really saying os you're only having fun when you're winning and thus a sore loser afraid of both failure and somehow missing out on a few games' endings. At best childish. At worst, enabling the idea to always seek oit a crutch. For all the Simpsons images, someone post Homer wanting a senior's scooter instead of "using his own legs like a sucker".

they never would have survived the era in which games didn't have selectable difficulties.

yes

We get it, you can't beat Dark Souls

UnfairRepresent posted...

Easy mode would still be a challenge for many players

Why are you taking that away from them out of pure egotism?

I use subtitles in games with the option. Some people don't

And that's fine, because it's an option. Being opposed to inclusive options that make it fun for more people is insane and irrational

It's like being pro not having volume settings because you love having your games at Max volume

You're not the only one in the universe

never thought i'd see the day people compare accessibility settings for people with disorders and disabilities, to having an easy mode. Bravo UR. You've outdone yourself.

---

yes

it already has an easy mode anyway, its called summoning.

FROM should add a troll function in the next game, easy mode but you can't do multiplayer, DLCs are locked, and one you beat the final boss the game just ends, no NG+.

---

yes

the game is balanced around one difficulty, like BOTW. If you don't like the developers vision, cheat or get good.

---

yes

i've honestly restarted this capitol hill section a few times because i just get caught and i don't wanna waste all my ammo shooting these guys to death. Doesn't help that they literally just keep spawning enemies though. I eventually moved on because i didn't wanna spend all day shanking dudes around corners

the human AI doesn't feel fuckin braindead, i feel like i actually have to plan out what i wanna do if i don't want to get into a firefight
