It said something like “if you don’t like it you should leave” in response to the first answer to your post which is ironically what I was calling out

Thank you for proving exactly what I was saying.

To an extent, there’s this feeling that if people stopped treating yoshi p like a messiah years earlier and started holding them accountable for the stuff that was going on the game would still maybe be playable. But the line is different for everyone ofc

On this I can relate, I can get why too much negativity can further ruin your experience. I just understand people that can’t shut up about it because they still wish for change. All my friends stopped playing the game because of how it went and then I stopped too, it’s such a shame.

And you think it’s being criticized too much? Lmao

On pretty much everything to the point they basically just released the same thing over and over again, zero original content that wasn’t a cutscene, the awful lying about dev times and direction, the insane shop policy for a subscription game with paid expansions…

That it’s terribly written (worse than shb and ew that were already really bad) and the gameplay just keeps getting worse and worse. They have made the game into second life and destroyed completely the lore and what made the game special in terms of actual gameplay, we got shortchanged

Lmao are you serious? Voices that would criticize xiv have been literally silenced for years. It’s shit that dawntrail is mostly being criticized on stuff that does not matter like the voice actress (who was admittedly terrible but didn’t deserve the hate) and not about the fact

Just go on YouTube then, go on twitch, watch a gameplay. That’s gotta be easier and less disrespectful or disruptive.
That’s it. And hey, if you can’t play it just skip it, it doesn’t make you LESS, or worse. Everyone should enjoy the things they want, just, try not to ruin them for the others.

We allow Messner to get oxygen with a helicopter and suppliers from a Sherpa to finish the climb the same way we allow you to get help from letmesoloher, and that’s kind of it. Anything else, you’re not really climbing. You’re a tourist, watching a movie about a game you can’t play

I’m also defending the idea that a journey should not be accessible to everyone. You wanna run the marathon, you practice. Wanna climb the K2? Get good. We’re not building elevators to the top of the k2 to cater to tourists, cause it’d be the ugliest thing ever, and climbing it would mean nothing

Imagine a super rare title in an mmorpg, that only the best of the best can have. Suddenly they nerf the content and you get flooded with people with the same title. It loses value because it doesn’t show that you’re good anymore. Yes I’m defending flexing here.

“But what does it matter if they just put an extra mode, you can just play the mode you want” yes, but no. Games are supposed to be a challenge. A large part of the appeal of difficult games is in the collective knowledge that to get to even know a specific thing you went through HELL.

Im also not saying that games shouldn’t have different difficult levels overall: some games are made that way and that’s ok. What im saying here is “don’t advocate to change games that other people like” because that’s an asshole move.

It’s leveling the field. I’m also not trying to advocate for stuff like idk not changing the Witcher mc to ciri because those are ridiculous statements. The narrative should be controlled by the authors AND it’s good that we’re getting more diversification in videogames.

Just as a disclaimer, I don’t play souls like cause I don’t like them, so this is not personal to me. And I’m not trying to say that games should not be inclusive, they should! Color blind modes, different fonts for dyslexic people, you name it. But that’s not changing the difficulty level

And don’t get me wrong, good for them. Erpers gotta erp. But they took the game out of the game. It made me stop caring about the game altogether. It ruined the game for me.

Final Fantasy XIV dumbed down every mechanic in the game, made new game modes to make sure less proficient players could get to see the cutscenes and get the glamours, and overall stopped pushing for more. The game is now overrun by people that use it as second life and just go clubbing

And companies know this, so they will push changes even if they know it’s gonna compromise the standard they held until that point, just so that they can access a new playerbase. There’s countless examples of this:

Capitalism means that more sales are always better, even if you have to change what you’re selling. And a dedicated fan will still buy the game, even if it’s worse than it used to be, because as long as they don’t fuck it up TOO MUCH fans can take a lot of mistreatment
comment in response to

And that’s problematic for 2 main reasons: first of all, dedicated communities of people that love a game, well, they love the game in that state, and you want to change it for them because YOU can’t enjoy it in that form. Reason n2 is that companies listen to this kind of feedback

You could play Mario with a dot jumping on a line and it would be the same game. Mario saying Woohoo and Mamma Mia is not the game, Mario jumping with that precise amount of pixels, momentum, control, IS the game. So when you’re advocating for easy modes, you’re advocating to CHANGE the games
comment in response to

Aside from the fact that games are not supposed to be easy, advocacy for easy modes in games doesn’t take into account that the biggest and most important part of a game is not the cutscenes or the graphics or the artwork or the QoL: it’s the gameplay.

I see a lot of conversations about making games easier or putting easy modes in difficult games (mostly they are about souls but this applies a to kind of everything) and I think most of these conversations miss the point entirely.

Ok it’s the second time I read this in 10 minutes wtf is going on, what did I miss?

If you’re not thinking Pokémon when you say jrpg then you’re not talking about jrpgs. Genres are not some categorization aesthetic one can randomly bend.

Nomura is a very influential Japanese videogame developer, to not know of him is to be truly free. How do you feel about billionaires?

I’m sorry but hatred for Tetsuya Nomura is non debatable

And as I said I don’t even play the damn thing cause I don’t have the time or the patience to go through the ordeal, but my friends love it the way it is. To an extent, it’s art. Should we re-edit Fellini movies to make them less boring? Repaint Guernica to make it less confused?

I believe it’s more egotistical to decide how the things others enjoy should be. There’s approximately a billion games, and you want to change this one to suit your needs because you wanna see the end of it without having to go through it. Playing a game in easy mode is not a right.

Aside from the fact that short of removing any combat from the game to make a walking simulator with cutscenes there’s literally no way to make a good game with multiple difficulties (n souls games can’t have scaling difficulties by design), so, yes, your wanting this would ruin the game for others

I never played any souls or any souls-like in general but there’s value in a game being hard. Wanna see the ending? Get good. If it’s not for you skip it, do smth else. But a game shouldn’t necessarily cater to everyone ‘cause then they lose the things that made them special for the existing players
