^ The major frustration is having to kill the enimes over...If they got rid of that how would they learn?

C'mon now. Other recent entries in hardcore JRPG franchises have survived the addition of options that make the game more accessible.
Something as simple as a mode that lessens the penalty for death would be a way to make the game more accessible without changing the actual level design or how combat works. |
What would be the point in that? Getting souls is extremely easy...Many people walk around with online mode on with a shit ton of souls with no worries because you can easily get it back so easily.
and you can have the best stats and armor but that wouldn't help much at all if you don't understand the game..and in that case you might as well play on hard. Easy mode just isn't viable in dark souls for many reasons.
1. Many people would take the easy way without even trying and not having the chance to experience the true dark souls.
2.Its a really really short game if you do not fail alot.
3. Ruins the marketing of the game...Prepare to die...Unless if you chose easy mode
4. Would f up Online
5.cheapens experience
6. Without difficulty and replaying there isn't much else to the game.
The only easy mode I can think that would work is having tips on the side of your screen telling you how to beat the boss,what to do, where to go. Pretty much hand holding you like most games these days...Might as well just read a Guide.

1. That's their choice.
2. Then they should make it longer.
3. Market it differently.
4. Not necessarily, just separate by difficulty level.
5. Again, people should be able to decide this for themselves.
6. Again, the devs should add more then, instead of relying on difficulty to replace content.

1. Horrible choice for anyone that just doesn't want to sight see the game...Many people who are fans now wouldn't be if they played an easy mode.
2. There is alot of content. 29 bosses and many areas to explore. Its just easy to get by if you know what your doing or had an easy mode.
3. And how would they do that.
5. refer to 1.
6. refer to 2
Have you even played or beaten Dark souls?
Regardless they aren't making it on easy mode and for great reasons.
|
1/5: Who are you to decide what's a good choice for people? Let them decide for themselves.
2. Then there's no problem with having an "easy" mode. It doesn't have to be "could be played with your eyes closed" easy, it can still be tough and challenging, just not quite as horribly punishing for failure.
3. They have guys for that, they'll sort something out.
