Wasted trips.

dark souls 3 IS the easy mode

Easy mode = summoning phantoms to help you.

fpbp

Nope

why shouldn't anyone be able to play it on their own?
it's really discriminating

>they think having an easy mode will stop the bullying

It does have easy mode, its called roll spam

Bossfights are meaningless since you can summon NPC's

And you can also just run past regular enemies who are slow as shit.

I don't see how it could be easier, dark souls only "pretends" to be difficult

There should be an easy mode, the player has to wear a dunce hat, the NPCs belittle them and some boss fights straight up refuse to fight them or laugh at them.

>why shouldn't anyone be able to play it on their own?
Nothing is keeping you from playing on your own.

Is this real?

I've only played through Demon's Souls and Bloodborne.
I would have played them on Easy if I could, I'm too old for this shit.

high difficulty is

the unfair difficultly is, not everyone is a souls veteran

There is no too old, just too rusted. Keep on trying and it will grow on you

As much as I love the game, this.

Who is he responding to?
Creating a challenging game isn't a demonstration of some opinion

git gud

when you play easy mode you waive your right to pretend you experienced the game properly
it's borderline insulting that a game developer who spent hours designing a careful health/damage/speed balance on every enemy can get overruled by a confused games journalist who wants to mash the attack button while tweeting

Dave Thier badly needs testosterone.

>it's really discriminating

>Dark Souls articles after the series has ended
What year is it?

there is magic and summons, it makes game piss-easy. Well, vidya journous would understand that if they actually played games other than walking simulators.

It's not discriminating anything, you are allowed to play the game solo or with friends. Just because a game is somewhat difficult doesn't mean it's out to get you.

Play it on PC with a trainer then.
Otherwise complain to Sony that they don't build trainers into their console.

Easy mode should dress the player as a literal baby with a bib, pacifier and a diaper. All of the enemies laugh at you, even the bosses, and they make baby sounds at you. They also guide the way through each level. Any way they can get hurt or die is either closed off or a pair of hands comes from the sky to stop you from falling off a cliff, with a woman’s voice going “uh uh uh!” And some enemies offer to hold your hand all the way through. All while nursery songs are playing in the background.

Same shit that faggot Jim Sterling said, bunch of pussies who can’t take a challenge once in a while. They say they aren’t ‘skilled enough’, my question is why the fuck are you playing and reviewi... oh that’s right, they’re failed mainstream journalists so the just become “game reviews” who can’t even handle a controller right.

just learn how to play the game instead of bitching about it here.

Easy mode is summoning.
Babby mode is immortal npc companions, actually enjoyed that in nioh because nioh is bullshit.

Any souls like games that has companions besides that code vein thing?

DSIII was the easiest one in the series

Beating games shouldn't be a right, it should be a privilege. If you don't beat the game it doesn't mandate that you are a bad player or that you can't be a fan of it. If you like the game, then you'll keep trying, and you might even beat it. Even if you don't you should still be enjoying it.

I think too many people think that they are supposed to like certain things, and that they have to treat games like films and need to have finished a certain set of them to be respected or taken seriously. I feel people need to have more personal opinions about the games they like and dislike, and not be so willing to give into group think.

Git gud you fucking scrub.

It's so easy to shill on this website, maybe some retards might actually go and read that trash.

>Hard game should have an easy mode
>Easy games don't need an hard mode
Fuck off with this shit

It has one, it’s called grinding. Just like any other RPG like this. Souls and Borne are literally only as hard as you want to make them on yourself. You can rek anyone with enough leveling. Why are they acting like there are zero alternatives? For the click no doubt, but still...

>everything should appeal me
the ego of these cucklords...

But you can, you level up and destroy the bossess in no time.

Does it badly need an easy mode, or is he easy at being badly?

>not everyone is a souls veteran

I wasnt. Bloodborne was my first fromsoft game. I played my way and took a lot of time exploring and fighting so i acrewed a LOT of echoes and spent them, keeping my STR build and axe ahead of my enemines by a significant margin. I killed all bossess including DLC, if i can do it, so can they. Im not good at this stuff and son’t want to pretend to be, but i had a lot of fun.

These kind of complaints are retarded, if you want to play a game, learn to play it, don't expect the damn game to bend to you. Holy fuck.

Video game bloggers play games on easy to get out that article as quick as possible, it's no surprise they complain when a game doesn't have an easy setting.

Just because you buy a game doesn't make you entitled to beat it.

At least those dumb liberal video journos can't help but make all their titles a tl;dr to help us detect shit writing

Then Summon Phantoms.

If you want dark souls easy mode play 2 otherwise suck my cock. At least he's not talking about bloodborne. Probably cause all the soys play pc and switch

excellent post

your contributions are invaluable

Why?

Nobody plays a Souls game for the story (there isn't one to follow).

You play Souls games for the challenges, the puzzles, the hidden secrets and the boss fights. What's the point of an easy mode for a Souls game? So any idiot can say "I played it?" You having trouble beating a boss? Summon someone. Playing offline? Summon a phantom. You can't summon anything? Then the devs considered the boss was so damn easy you don't need to summon, deal with it.

Speak for yourself mongloid. There's lore and story

>puzzles
excuse me but what in the flying fuck are you talking about

My 11 year old brother beat Dark Souls 3 solo. It's REALLY not that hard.

DS3 was my first ever DS game and I played it in hard since the beggining. Casuals need to quit.

The easy mode is when you use basic brain functions to learn the game through play.

>nioh is bullshit
people complains about Dark Souls while Nioh fucking exists

These people are the reason why games like Overwatch have a bunch of characters that need no skill to play yet are as good or better than the ones that do. They cry that video games are mean for "excluding" them when they should just go play easier games.

Children are more driven, have better reflexes and more free time than adults. I beat the SNES Lion King when I was a kid and you can bet your ass I wouldn't go through that shit today.

If you think about it, every game is a puzzle where you have to figure out where to go, how to accomplish each task efficiently, and how to prepare for a fight at every turn. This idea goes doubly for Dark Souls where there is only a vague objective and you yourself have to figure out what's going on and how to progress.

no, you're fucking retarded

I don't see a clickbait headline like this as saying the devs are in the wrong but rather people saying it doesn't need an easy mode. You can read the argument and make a counter argument easily (my favorite is "you get more for your money and more satisfaction when you play a challenging game" and "if you want to see how it ends, just go to youtube") but there are people here who see that an article like this exists and post about how people are bullying devs with their opinions.

I beat the entire game with a fucking broken sword
How the fuck are you so bad at it?

Reading the wiki gives you about the same experience as playing the games for the lore.

Just wish there were less bullshit insta kills.

>I don't want to put time and effort on the things I supposedly like
Not your hobby.

How many times must we go fucking through this.

Dark Souls does have an optional easy mode. It's called summoning. It's literally there so you can share the game with like two other players in case you can't handle it on your own. It's been a feature since the very beginning.

If you're too shit to play even with two other players at your side, then really goes beyond the game being hard and moves onto you being incapable.

This is an even more retarded statement than the previous one. You supposedly like video games, right? So if we go by your logic, why aren't you playing a video game right this moment instead of reading and writing replies here?

Only a child or an idiot would think like this. Which one are you?

>Yes,
No

here's why

We live in a dystopian nightmare already, it's almost as if people want to make it completely and utterly inescapable.

REMINDER
the only reason these people want an easy mode is because you guys fetishsize difficulty in games and prod up beating Dark Souls as this monumental achievement so now it's the hip thing to do and the casuals want in on it

Attached: 1468605651885.jpg (500x380, 58K)

This can't be real

>the casuals want in on it
They already are, though? Dark Souls is marketed as difficult, but the AI in the game is so retarded an infant could walk circles around the enemies forever with impunity.

>I think the whole focus-group thing is not the way to make a game, because you start to bring in other people's opinions and lose some of the originality. For Viewtiful Joe, we brought in some kids to a focus test and asked them, "What do you think of the characters?" And all the kids said, "Oh, his head's too big," or "Silvia's annoying, I just want to kill her." They were just trashing the game, so I just got pissed off and said I'm not changing anything.

Reminder that Based Kamiya, the guy who's consistently made GOAT games for decades, says you should tell dumbass critics and the unwashed masses to go fuck themselves and just make whatever game you want

Because a hobby ain't a job faggot.

There's accessibility and then there's appealing to docile brainlets who refuse to learn.

The door is already open for the fucking idiots, what else to they need?

Putting time and effort into something you like =/= making it your job. How is this such a hard concept?

So what? As you can see from this thread, it's gonna get replies as if it was written today because people can't help themselves. They have no self-control.

It's a roundabout way of acknowledging DaS3 as being inferior to its predecessors. The other games were fun enough to be cool even when you got your butthole blown wide. I think I got about halfway through my DaS3 play through before getting bored and playing Dark Souls again.
