I mean, it's losing part of what makes the game what it is, but on a single player title, who cares. Just don't allow achievements if the game is modded and done.

That would be a great way to stop people from claiming they've "finished" a game.

Sometimes I feel people need to read aloud what they're posting here beforehand. Some of that stuff and you'd be laughed the fuck off any room in real life.
I like FromSoftware games. But beating them, honestly, did not make me a better person. Neither did it made me feel like telling how others should play them. It's not that important, really. It's just a video game.

Yeah, it's just a game. A videogame can't be something that forms a core memory or an important part of your life. Only books and movies and music are allowed to do that. /sarcasm.
Also, I can't tell you how often you'll get laughed out of the room in this modern age while being right. Idiots are everywhere.

Some people die at 25 and aren't buried until 75.

The funny thing is that there is already an easy mode built into Souls-like games. If you are having a hard time, you can just farm more souls or explore another area of the map until your character is OP for the boss you are stuck on. And on top of that, most of these games have an item combo like Guts' greatsword, or Giant Dad build that makes the game easy. Souls-likes aren't actually hard; they just don't hold your hand Nintendo style. The people installing this mod after three measly days just want everything spoon-fed to them quickly. They could be patient enough to find that one OP item or go exploring/farming. But they gave up.
If you change the rules of soccer so that you can use your hands, you aren't playing soccer anymore. That's because not being able to use your hands is a small but critical aspect of the game. If you want to play base'ketball or some other variation of a sport that's fine. Just don't claim to be a soccer player while playing a game that isn't soccer. In the vein of videogames, once you take the "difficulty" out of a game like Hollow Knight you've changed a critical aspect of the game. People who install an easy mode mod aren't playing Silk-Song. They are playing a different game that looks and feels the same but is not the same game. Imagine buying a guitar and instead of learning to actually play, you hook your system up to AI and prompt it to make your playing sound awesome. Now, imagine still claiming to be a guitar player. You aren't. You are doing AI-assisted karaoke. And people who use an easy mode mod aren't beating Silk-Song. They are beating a romhack. Both the guitar player and the Silksong mod enjoyer are posers.ÂÂ
And to that I say it's more mature to just accept that not everything is for you than it is to try to be one of the cool kids enjoying the new hotness. Just go play a different game. Otherwise you are as much a poser as someone that tries to pass store bought cookies off as their own recipe.ÂÂ

If someone wants to play it in a way that's "not silksong anymore" in your view, why is that a problem?
|
It's not. As long as they admit that they aren't playing Silksong anymore. As long as they don't try to be a part of the community that genuinely likes Silksong and Hollow Knight. Just like it's fine to play Karaoke while just randomly mashing strings on your guitar so long as you don't tell people that "you are a guitar player". You do you. Just be sure to be yourself and not a poser.
It makes me laugh how with videogames people are expected to tolerate ridiculousness that wouldn't fly in other hobbies. You can't throw gutterballs and then yell STRIKE! unironically in a bowling alley. A kid that thinks Soccer is played with hands is fine, but imagine he goes to join a local Soccer team and then insists to everyone that hands are allowed. And when they all tell him they aren't allowed he calls them gatekeepers or whatever.
Also I'd like to once again point out that these games already have an easy mode built in. Grind out more souls and level up. They don't want an easy mode. They want things spoonfed to them and they want everything their way.
