No. I already gave my piece to someone else on this thread. At this point it's clear that you don't care about an actual discussion and would rather get on a high horse. Stating things I never said... looking at difficulty as a mere gateway to the game when it's so much more than that. To be clear, the whole "allowing players to feel difficulty while not feeling 'forbidden to play'" argument is dumb, since the entire Souls discussion was about people like Vivister thinking a no challenge story mode should be in Souls. I dont mind it being in Horizon, in Souls it would be awful. To be clear I think you are a great user, this isn't an attack on you. But I guess this is just a scenario where we will never agree.

Well, I do agree that for a game that have no story and the fun is only on the combat there is no point in a 0 challenge difficult. But there is a big room between what they have now and having easier modes that fell challenging to non Soul players.

You know what? ill just write a thinkpiece on DS difficulty

love you

im being serious

I'm 37 years old... I dont have time  anymore to "get gud" wich have stopped me from buying so many games

If you don't have time to play a Souls game (or any game), play something else or watch a let's play. It isn't incumbent for any dev to make sure you can play their games.

Clearly, I'm very much against adding difficulty modes to games that shouldn't have them - especially Souls games.

Just the word of mouth about their difficulty kept me from playing those games. It's a shame because I hear they're really good. Maybe even because of the challenge. I just can't invest in the frustration nowadays.
