Same that said i platinumd BB and 100% DS2 and 3 and Nioh 2

 

 

But i never bought these at full price 

I tried demons souls and dark souls on ps3, gave up after 2-3hours as i got extremely frustrated. Might try this once its cheap as the world looks really amazing. I love this kind of medieval 3rd person games.

Both versions have their own advantages. 

 

With Xbox, you get quick resume and with PS5 you get Dualsense + better Co-Op (more players). 

I'm talking about PC and Ps5.

For co-op I have almost same experience as PS. The find new players feature can get good players. 

The dualsense gimmicks is of no use in a game like these but quick resume feature helps in certain ways.

Too bad the game is inaccessible for people like me who have no patience to die 50 times on a level. Wish they had some easy mode, as I would love to play this to experience the world and lore.

Soulsborne games on easy difficulty would be breaking its soul.

Not really, those who want a challenge can always choose the higher difficulty mode. They can just have 2 options-: casual mode and Normal mode (normal being the intended difficulty)

Lets see. With Full time co op i might actually give it a try.

The soulsbourne games are built and balanced around its difficulty. The fun in combat resides in learning the enemies attack patterns and then overcoming them. The satisfaction you get from adapting and overcoming a previously impossible foe is immense.

 

If one could just turn on ez mode and face tank all the enemies, 1-2 hitting them, there isn't much else to do in the world. Before anyone says exploration, the exploration mechanic is also tied to the combat difficulty. Exploring new pathways always feels rewarding because you are rewarded with a shortcut, an item or a new area with items and enemies to kill and level up. If the enemies aren't challenging, there no feeling of accomplishment in finding a new shortcut or an item. 

 

Everything in these games is balanced around its difficulty. Simply introducing an easy mode with % modifiers would just break the game and make it unfun and unrewarding to play.

I get it. My point is that the game mechanics are built from the ground up the with its difficulty in mind. There are already PC mods available that has % modifiers that would reduce the damage you take. You are welcome to try them. All you'll be left with is an unrewarding mess of a game with weird hitboxes, unsatisfying combat and last gen graphics.

so you think we got time? I hardly get to even game for weeks sometimes. But I kind of understand what you mean though, I respect that but trust me, once you get past few hours in these kind of games, you would not find any other games this interesting. It just hooks you in like no other game! 

 

Tip: these games actually become easy (or manageable should I say?) after midway! maybe give bloodborne another go instead of DS games.

I am tempted to get this game. Only thing holding me back is how much time i get to play nowadays. I only play during weekends and this is not the kind of game that i would want to get back to, after a break of 5 days each week.

Why do you care what other people do with their difficulty setting? Play the game like you normally play, let others do what they want. More difficulty options never harmed anyone. Gatekeeping is seriously one of the worst traits of Soulsborne community.

I don't really care either way. Just voicing my opinion that unlike most other games, Soulsbourne games are designed in such a way that taking away the difficulty would make for a much poorer experience.

thats why official support is needed.. people wanting to try easy mode don’t care about unsatisfactory combat… that’s the whole point..

Disagree. It is not about caring how others play. It is seriously going to affect the entire mechanism these games are built on, if provided more difficulty options especially easy ones, it would just be in line with other games would soon become stale. You will find lots of "Just another open-world game with some weirdness". More difficulty options will surely harm this franchise if not others.

Most games are designed around default difficulty, Soulsborne isn't anything special in that case. Dropping difficulty to easy in most games results in unsatisfactory gameplay, but its a choice for people who can't progress with default setting. And I'm not bothered by that because it doesn't matter to me.

There are easy mods on PC for all Souls games, and there will be more for Elden Ring. And they perfectly reside in the same universe as lord Miyazaki's envisioned non-moded game without breaking the space-time fabric.
