They didn't impelement it yet. Not on the King's Field games and not on the Souls game so I just assume it isn't part of their vision. They have been doing these games for years then how come a stupid producer never stopped them before?

I think they get it. These whole games are made with only one purpose on mind. It's to satisfiy our egos, it's to satisfy our short weenies. And I'm perfectly fine with that. I even think my weenie grew bigger after playing those games... just an inch though.

Look i understand the point you are trying to make here vivster, and yeah you can make the AI dumber less effective in the easy mode and have it be really HARD on the hard mode and then "everyone" could enjoy it.

but the thing is that such a thing is not the vision that the developer has for this game, neither its the reason why the fans like it so much, we like it because we know that if we hit a wall (a really difficult level or boss fight) there is no way we can just go to options to change the difficulty or start the game again and in easy mode, we know that you just have to get good, and we like that feeling of not having options, just the fact of improving yourself in the game, sure you could argue that you could just ignore the easy mode and then everythings fine, but that is clearly not the vision of the developer either, and knowing that you defended or at least understood the "vision" that Ready at Dawn had with the order, i would expect that you would understand that From Software want this game to be known as the "hard" game, and we "the fans" like this hard game and the challenge that it represents.

also i saw that you (or maybe someone else) said that, such a thing was just a very elitist attitude, and that the fans just want to pretend that they are the "best gamers" out there, and as a fan i must say... i would find that attitude very pathetic... i myself have never said or implied something like that and i hope other fans of the series would never do that, because that would just make us look bad... i just simply like the challenge and the vision that from software has with this games.

But they do have an easy mode, just use magic.

I do not understand why some people can not understand this. The devs obviously do not want to or they would have by now but because they think the game should be easier they want the devs to sell out their artistic intergrity for money..... Ive said it before and I will say it again, if you do not like a game, move along!

The souls game should be hard hard hard and hard. But an option for easy mode should be there so you can take more damage and deal more damage. I know a few people who would love to play Bloodborne for it's great enemy and world design but they think it will be to hard for them to finish the game.

actually... this is very true to be honest.

I can't even think how an easy mode would work. Some common deaths are falling into a bottomless pit (because in the lighting it was hard to see that the floor was missing or something like that). So how does easy mode work, does a fairy pull me back from falling? you could die in the flames of a dragon spitting fire, if you didn't time your running right. How does easy mode work, the flames are only lukewarm, not hot? And if a trap can't kill you instantly, the point of the game is lost, the point of keeping you always on your toes.

I give a different example. I didn't like the Tomb Raider reboot. Too less gameplay, too much scripted events. At one point I thought you can learn to sneak your away around enemies or kill them silently without alarm. That worked two or three times, then all following fights started scripted, so I couldn't avoid alarm.
So let's say, why can't add Crystal Dynamics a gameplay-mode in the future. Less cutscenes, less scripted events, more exploration, more sneaking, offering different options for decisions (kill the enemy or avoid it or persuade it to change sides for instance) and the option to save important characters like Roth. But as an optional mode, normal mode will still be the same. That will work brilliant, I don't think they have to change the game to accomodate for the existance of the two different modes.

I hate this argument. Adding an extra difficulty level in no way effect you or anyone else who wants to player on harder difficulties. It just makes the game more accessible.

Case in point: the casual option in Fire Emblem Awakening. Made the series much more friendly for new players, while still offering hard modes for veterans.

Who said casuals wouldn't want to do that? You could also add a couple signs or something like a shieka stone in giving hints on easy/normal.

It's not hard AT ALL to implement different difficulties without fundamentally changing the game. Again, more options is what is best for everyone. More peope can enjoy the game, hardcore players can keep their difficulty they expect, the game gets a wider audience and more recognition, and the developers get more profits. There are literally no downsides to this.

Yeah, I've never liked From Software's games. Too frustrating to enjoy, too glitchy and the games don't look good imo.
