BRING IT!

I still don't get how that would ruin it for you guys.  I mean I just platinumed DS but I don't think having an easy mode would ruin it.  Just have a trophy for beating on hard so everyone knows the guy is a pussy.  Also keep the online communities separate for easy and hard.  That way everyone gets to enjoy the experience they want.  I just don't really like the mechanics so the challenge is the only thing that had me go for DS and that was only after it got free on + was I motivated to finish (with a lot of help from a pro who had beaten NG++++++)

Should be good!

Trust me I know what you're saying, but seperating the online community via difficulty setting? The souls games don't sell THAT much, it would really lessen the online experience.

but wouldn't most of the easy mode players be new guys?  That means the old audience or roughly the amount of guys that bought Demon and Dark would be on their hard setting anyway.  I think it would broaden the audience and your community would stay intact.  I look at it like Ninja Gaiden Sigma.  The game still has its reputation but there is an easy setting where you wear a flower or something.  The only bad thing I can see coming from this is really good players playing on easy and trolling the new guys who want an easy experience by becoming black phantoms.  I think that would be rare and I also don't think it would effect you or any other person playing on hard since they would be on your skill level if you faced them and it would be just like the last 2 online.  Maybe there's some cause for concern but I don't see it.

The guy who helped me out and me were talking on Skype while playing and he basically said a bunch of fans were planning to boycott it if it had an easy mode.  I told him everything I told you and he basically said he just wanted to be able to say he beat DS2 and not have anyone else around him say it.  To me that's really narrow minded and narcisstic especially considering that I really didn't have that hard of a time with it (except when the damn targetting system either wouldn't target on steps or was blocking my view in tunnels) and I never play that type of game.  It really is a fun game once you get the feel down and I think a lot of people would start on easy and work their way up like any game.  I used to play Uncharted on easy then before 3 came out I decided to do 1 and 2 on hard and crushing and it was rewarding and now I try almost every game on hard.

Dude, one big problem if a company listens to the supposed fans for an easy mode is that the community knows that they can just bug FROM software for other things, similar to how a pc port happened. And the messing around with easy players would happen a lot! The community is cruel and heartless lol

Can't wait ;)

I am excite.

Please, please do not cater to the people who are too dumb to learn the mechanics.

Can't wait, I wonder if it is going to release this holiday season.

LOL!!! who in their right mind would take one that many silver knights!!!
