Why Souls games shouldn't have an easy or normal mode

So an easy mode will not ruin the game it is implemented in but the next game?

That's such a bogus fear. Why would they even make an easy mode if they are planning to dumb down the hard mode? That doesn't make any sense. No easy mode ever will have any effect on the hard mode. I'm sure Diablo 3 players will confirm that for you.

You don't even have to change integral parts for the game to be easier. Just fiddle a bit with the parameters to make people die less frequently. This is almost no effort to implement and won't even take much time away from development.

So now that we agree that the easy mode will have no effect on any hard modes, what is there that would ruin the game?

It would damage the game, I do not know if you are a fan of shooters but look at the change from BF2 and BFBC2 to BF3. The casuals took the series in a negative direction, even with BF4 and Hardline the game STILL is not as dynamic as the older games. 

 

In Diablo 3 to make a game easier all you have to do is tweak numbers, in Souls the level layouts would have to be tweaked. But as I said in another post it will never happen because the Japanese have more artistic intergrity. Why is it so difficult to understand that if you do not like a series to move along, you do not threatnen it for the people who already enjoy it

Lol, yeah I'm done^^

Generalizing so many people in one post is just amazing.

It's just funny because arguing for a game to be more exclusive is literally the same as to demanding a game to be more inclusive. The difference is just that I'm not demanding it while you are.

In the end it's up to the developer to decide what he wants. Though making something deliberately exclusive will always have a worse ring than making something deliberately inclusive.
