Current Events > From Software needs to add difficulty settings.

(+) Yeah! (+)

This is getting tiring. Souls games are centered around one thing that makes them stand out and people want them to change it just because. If it isnt for you it isnt for you and move on. You dont see me playing Animal Crossing or Nintendogs cause they got 9s and 10s.

It must be real difficult to input different difficulty settings for those games

Beautiful games, imaginative settings, but I play videogames to relax.

I know some people need *something* to feel good about in their lives, and for them it's being able to play hard games but for the rest of us, it's like, yeah, nah mate.

Elden Ring had 750 000 players on Steam hours after it launched and crashed the servers on all platforms.

A minuscule amount of people who dont care for the gameplay: but why doesnt it cater to me??

I don't understand why an extremely minor change is such an issue. It's not exactly like it'd be hard to code some multipliers to damage/healing, etc

It's not like people are going "Ok, now change every glittering gold poo in the game into a soft serve icecream".

The spirit of the game would still be there.

The spirit of the game is difficulty. Idk why thats so difficult to understand.

I have a full time job and a side job. I don't want to be terrorized by a game. I love everything about the games except the difficulty and obtuse game structure. It feel like a bad 90s game sometimes.

They should just have special unlockable weapons, underwear and bosses for the gatekeepers on higher difficulty settings so they can still feel special.

A Fromsoft Soulslike game comes out once every 3-4 years.

We all have lives. When we finally get one of these games, we want exactly what weve come to expect. A challenging and rewarding experience. If that doesnt interest you? Go play literally anything else.

My biggest problem with this game is that everything related to horse combat feels sloppy and unrefined.

The funniest thing about these topics and people saying they shouldn't do it because that's the whole point of the games is... adding difficulty settings literally has 0 affect on them. It would change absolutely nothing about the game except make it more accessible to people... But apparently that is bad.

It's actually pretty dope once you get used to it. Once I realized that LB/LT made you attack to the left I went from hating it to wtf I love horse combat now

This argument doesnt make much sense. Fans of a series have their reasons for liking it and they expect certain things from it. Why should the game cater to someone who has never played one of the games before instead of the dedicated fans who helped make it popular? If you dont enjoy a game then just dont play it lol. I dont play From Software games but I get where theyre coming from when they get defensive in these topics

We arent asking for the genre to fundamentally change. Including easier difficulty options will help players try and get into it. Theres no downside to doing this. If you dont want play on a lower difficulty, then dont. Novices playing the game wont ruin your experience with it.

This reminds me so much of the complainants about Fire Emblem. If you dont like causal mode, then dont use it.

Im not a game developer. But wouldnt a lower difficulty just involve reducing the damage you take and increasing the damage you inflict?
