disabled gamers should git gud

we need to get rid of that attitude and the git gud culture

The thing is sometimes thats the best advice.

I promise you as a Soulsfan nobody is going to give you that answer if you come asking for help, git gud is reserved for the people who bitch/complain about something being cheap or unfair and shitting on the games.

Like if you were stuck and went to a DS board and said

O&S are giving me trouble, any tips/advice

Nobody is going to tell you to gutgud unless you start shitting on the game and crying about how cheap or bs it is, thats when you get a gitgud.

Wait I don't get it most games already have an easy mode??

Most games are too easy even on normal mode.

Is what is being argued here is that there shouldn't be mono difficulty games that offer hardcore players a challenge (despite being in the minority)???

That all games should have a Skip Boss button and/or invincibility mode as a button.

i normally dont care about this shit and think that anyone who is invested in stuff like "games should have an easy mode/nuh uh/uh huh" enough to argue about it on the internet is incredibly lame, but i detest the fact that the go to argument about it now has become about disabled people. 9 times out of 10 the people arguing about it are not disabled in any way. Even the article itself here is just a dude crying about getting made fun of and whining about having to pay attention to his kids instead of play video games in the comments section, he doesnt give a shit about disabled people

Kotaku cancelled their readership. AND THAT IS GOOD THING! --according to unemployed ex-writers.

I think it's a little outdated to think games NEED to be purely win/lose. It really restricts the medium. That's like saying every movie NEEDS to have a hero and a villain.

If you want games to be normal/hard/easy, guess what....part of the beauty about doing something in your own time is doing it your own way. Who gives a fuck how many tries it took you to complete something on your own, and especially, why do you care how other people enjoy their time.

Also, if you really want a hard game, there are plenty of single player games that are hard. Go play one of those. If you want a real challenge, go play something competitive. Play a fighting game, RTS, competitive shooter, etc and try to rank up to platinum of whatever the game's equivalent is. Nothing is harder than trying to beat someone who knows exactly how to beat you.

The thing I'll agree on is that I wish modern games would give me a little time to explore a room before the main character announces what I should do. Easy games or hard games are less fun when they're designed badly.

Thats not true.

At least one person would, if even just for fun.

Oh, and for people that say xeth never talks sense... he did and was completely ignored... gotta go the kotaku route and get that engagement.

Lmao difficult single player games are in the minority. The AAA industry floods us with easy games that allow you the spam an attack button without thinking, follow a big blinking waypoint marker, have NPCs constantly remind of the same simple mechanics, the hand-holding is immense.

Its why I have opted to mostly play Indie games because they actually like to try new stuff and dont baby the player. Best of all its time efficient because you can often play a couple gameplay loops within a reasonable time frame.
