Why

Just why?

Just do co op or something if you have trouble.

I want an easy mode too.

Sad :(

You don't even know if it'll be that hard.

Same. I got too much shit going on to be frustrated by a game. I did beat Dark Souls 2 and 3, more than once so I AM capable of doing it. But I'd rather just coast through with a smaller challenge. The best thing about From games isn't the challenge imo; it's the sights, enemies, gear, and rpg stuff

fuck yeah

I just don't get it.

This game has stealth, co op, spirit companions and stuff like sleep arrows. Why would they even need an easy mode after that.

Speaking from the perspective of playing and loving just about every Souls game yet made:

I have never heard a single argument against an easy mode that doesnt boil down to gatekeeping elitism. "You MUST experience it THIS WAY, because WE DID!"

You wouldn't have to use it. There's no hard-and-fast rule saying difficulties couldn't be sectioned off into their own multiplayer scenes. It would have no impact on anyone. And as for "the true Souls experience" and "artistic expression" arguments, The Count of Monte Cristo isn't ruined forever just because someone sees it and walks away thinking it's just a fun prison break story.

If the devs don't feel like making it, that's fine. They don't have to. But it's not like the sheer existence of an easy mode would intrinsically ruin Souls for everyone, forever. More options are always better than fewer. And they are just options.

Agreed

I'm glad FromSoft will continue making the games with the punishing difficulty that they have seen fit to define their games with and not kowtow to the lowest common denominator. Not all entertainment is made for everyone.

Considering there's not only multi-player, but also co op it seems like an unnecessary addition. Not only does it complicate both, but this game has added plenty of other ways to add some ease to players having a hard time.

Having them section off both co op and pvp would cut the player base down a lot in each group. I can understand wanting that in maybe sekiro 2, but this game has added do much to make it more accessible. Have a hard time? Stealth and a group, plus grinding.

It just seems like adding an easy mode to me is akin to hardcore cheesing a boss or using a glitch to level up 20 plus levels. The game has many ways to play, and looks like the possibly easiest souls game yet.

Narrator: It won't

If you want easy mode get the PC version and use a trainer, that's the only way you get easy mode.
---

Its souls. You dont need a trainer.

and here we go...

next up: invaders are assholes, co'opers are hippies.

---

Its barely worth it when you overpower your character. Anybody ever really have fun doing that? Not really.

ill play it over the summer

---

Souls requires the opposite direction to get a reaction.

Hence: Charmless (sekiro)

Day 1 buy from me dawg
