| SwayM 03/01/22 3:43:56 PM #66 | s0nicfan posted... What is it about FROM games that leads to these complaints far more than any other? Where's the army of people saying Pokemon needs a hardcore mode, or CoD should let you fully auto aim in single player, or RE should have an option to toggle quest markers so you know which keys go to which doors? While this a good post and it doesnt happen a lot in regards to other games. Pokemon isnt a good example because one of the major complaints is the series is dogshit easy and now Pokemon adults want a hardcore mode or just some semblance of challenge added to the game. --- Like 90% of CE topics are the same way lol.

Apparently there is a character youve yet to meet who steals a percentage of dropped souls before you pick them up. Squall28 posted... Sounds like you're overleveled Yeah in essence this is exactly the problem. You over level yourself just playing through normally and then suddenly the amount of runes you receive is absolutely trivial.

It just so happens that what he made is enjoyed by a lot of people. Adding in modest difficulty sliders allows anyone to pick up and go regardless of their skill level. Miyazaki can state whatever the hell he wants. He doest spend millions developing a game over 4ish years with a team of hundreds to put it on the shelf so he can go to the store and buy the only copy for himself and only himself. These games are built from the ground up to wean players into the combat and mechanics. anyone can pick it up and the game starts then down the path and gives them all the tools they need to figure it out. Theyre carefully and expertly crafted so they continuously feed players a harder and harder challenge. Do you think its by accident? Or do they play test and fine tune the hell out of it so the millions of players have a unified difficulty experience that allows for many, many different play styles to flourish but the challenge remaining a constant thread. Saying add a difficulty slider here is akin to waking into a 3 Michelin star restaurant and asking for Them to put French fries on the menu. --- Like 90% of CE topics are the same way lol.

| SwayM 03/01/22 3:03:54 PM #60 | Uta posted... Personally I say just add Difficulty sliders. They're far more tunable than an entire difficulty mode is and can let players up the difficulty as well. Something as simple as a slider that says "Enemy Damage: 10% -- 100% -- 200%" makes for a fine-tuned experience that everyone can be happy with.

| SwayM 02/26/22 3:07:27 PM #172 | I get the argument at a basic level. You want the game to be more approachable for some. I just dont understand how people refuse to see the game has a difficulty curve baked into every aspect of the experience. Instead of playing the game, learning the combat, the controls, enemy patterns, level design. Discovering a build and pumping up your stats, upgrading your weapons, summoning coop partners. Naturally progressing through the game is the entire way its designed to make you better at it, so it continue feeding you harder and harder challenges. Nah fuck all that. Just adjust some damage numbers some say? Its so obvious you dont actually want to try even liking this style of game. You just want to troll online with ignorant arguments that never once have got off the ground. --- Like 90% of CE topics are the same way lol.

| SwayM 02/26/22 12:04:43 PM #114 | The these changes wouldnt affect you arguments are utter nonsense and such surface level thinking. its just menu options you dont have to click on No, its changing the entire games core design and philosophy. Its asking the developers to change a tentpole of their games theyve been making over a decade now and in their 7th iteration. The irony of saying it doesnt affect you when asking a game to change that has amassed millions of fans to change to cater to such a minuscule amount of people that arent interested in that style of game. Also there seems like a complete lack of understanding that its not as simple as scale a few numbers The whole structure of the game is built around the difficulty. The game isnt immediately brutally hard. The games have always had a open layout with a main path sort of speak the game sends you down that gets progressively harder and many soft gates that the player can reach but the enemy level may steer them away. Changing anything about the difficulty could trivialize this design. Added to this theres the cooperative and PVP aspects of these games that are balanced around player level and progression, and so would then have to be further balanced around difficulty levels And finally theres the environmental difficulty which isnt a thing that can be adjusted with changing a few health bars / player damage. When youre not paying attention to the environment and a bolder crushes you, thats the intention. The fix there isnt to take the boulder away, its to learn from your mistakes. And then this ties into what I was talking about previously about how the whole game is structured around this difficulty. When you as the player enter an area full of traps and enemies stronger then you should be expecting, thats all part of the difficulty baked into the game design and the soft gates Im talking about. These arent mechanics that can easily be changed with some difficulty slider. Yall talking out your ass about that shit. If youre interested in the games, play them. If not, find literally anything else to play. How difficult is that? --- Like 90% of CE topics are the same way lol. CE is edgy/contrarian as f*** and will do anything to troll the TC/OP. -Touch |

A dude name Nathan Drake, grows up under the wing of his older brother Sam, the two orphaned at a young age, have good hearts and a passion for history, however this leads to troubled behaviour and their paths splitting. Drake, older now teams up with colourful character Victor Sully Sullivan who go on a multi continent spanning adventure to solve the mystery of Magellans lost gold. Adventure takes them through huge epic set pieces, including a plane sequence taken right out of the video games. Many sequences of the signature climbing and parkour that Drake does throughout the video games. Classic video game like puzzles and or course a few backstabs. How the fuck you watch this movie and dont think this like the video games idk man but youre out to lunch. Oh Tom Holland doesnt exactly match the physical appearance of Nathan from the video games?
