@Fox they already confirmed no multiple modes.They also very quickly damaged controlled it before DS2 was even announced when rumor popped up. I don't mind making it more easy to understand because yeah alot of stuff you pretty much have to look up the internet for and what not.

Then I hope we'll find out soon exactly what direction is being taken, if only so we can lay this issue to rest. The complexity of the game is a key reason why I would even think about altering the formula (even if its just a litte), but having a more proper tutorial system and such would go a long way to easing the initial difficulty of playing the game. It really isn't so bad once the player "gets into the groove of it", so to speak.
