Fallen Order most certainly did not do difficulty right. Story mode enemies don't even attack you and and grand master difficulty you basically get one shot by basic enemies if you miss a parry. That is not balanced AT ALL. But i don't blame them its hard to balance difficulty modes which is probably why from doesn't have them in their games. Its much easier to balance around one static state instead of 3 or 4 even 5.
I love and completed all of their Souls games, I met the challenge and really enjoyed my time with it.
Three Houses is on track to outsell Sekiro in a shorter timeframe, though...?
Well, sorry, but being able to beat a video game is not a right. I think developers should do as much as they reasonably can without hurting the game for most people, such as supporting custom controls and colour-blind modes. But adding an easy mode to games like Dark Souls would, in my opinion, hurt the game too much for most players.
Yeah, they totally should. That sucks, no argument here.
Fallen Order did difficulty absolutely right.
I played the game on grand master. Its hard but not balanced and it feels cheap way cheaper than any souls game.
Because ppl are lazy and don't use their brains. They want ez mode experience. I laugh when I hear complains about blood vials, spirit emblems, breakable weapons etc, when all you need to do to fix it is exercise the muscle in your head a bit. But like I said gaming to most ppl should be a mindless affair.
Of course, you can't just easily change a game's difficulty without throwing off the balance. But things for various levels of color blindness, visual ques for those hard of hearing, alternatives to actions that require very rapid button presses (for example holding instead of mashing). Many games have come a long way in terms of features like this, but most games still miss the mark.
Don't agree. Souls games have summons and leveling systems and more equipment to customize for a preferred play style. Sekiro is much less open to brute force.
As I said, almost every game on its highest difficulty is annoying. I would say GoW is a pretty good game but even its GMGOW mode was broken if you aren't playing with NG+.
Did it? Because higher difficulties felt like garbage. Either too easy or incredibly uneven. Granted some of that might have to do with the game clearly being rushed, but Souls it was not.
Ehh. You just haven't figured out how to abuse the parry. I think it's much easier than any of their other games
Does it have to be Souls ?
It's not really very nice to frame legitimate arguments as "crying" just because you disagree with them.
Awakening and Three Houses are incredibly imbalanced. It's way to easy to train up god units that just walk a path of destruction in those game. Hell, Three Houses had a lot of complaints around release that normal was basically easy in disguise and hard was really normal.
Yeah I definitely agree that it has the massive issue still of gating away content. Potentially it could only really apply to optional hyper difficult bosses such as Orphan of Kos, knowing that there's no way to play it with an easier solution?
And on the other side of this toxic discourse is stuff like this
Myself and others have talked about why this isn't really the case elsewhere in the thread.
The difficulty comes from a lack of patience and not wanting to play on the games terms, same with every souls game. It's no more difficult than any other game as long as you play by the rules. I see a lot of people ignoring the parry and poise system and simply wailing on a bosses health bar, that's not how the game wants you to play.
Hmm is that really better than Sekiro though? According to Activision, Sekiro did 2 million in 10 days:
Please read the thread, or at least look up some of my older posts in it.
