    You went to edgy, if it said something like “No, thats not okay, you must sweat so much at every game that all enjoyment is strangled in your stone cold quest to be the best”

      This post is for the whiners who want Soulslikes with easy difficulty. The difficulty is the point, the improvement.

      They’d rather cheapen it for everyone than watch a let’s play video.

        No one is cheapening it. Miyazaki doesnt care. Smell the poison swamp feet.

          Player 1: Spent an hour memorizing attack patterns to finally clutch the w after trudging through a poison swamp

          Player 2: Three-taps the boss in god-mode after ignoring the environment

          Did Player 1 and Player 2 really play the same game?

            Idk, chief. It seems to me that difficulty selections aren’t in FromSoft soulslikes. So your entire argument makes no fucking sense.

            But do indulge, did they both launch Some_Fucking_Soulslike_With_Difficulty_Selection.exe? Then they are in fact playing the same game and can probably summon each other.

              You’re the one making it about FromSoft soulslikes. I’m talking Soulslikes in general. They ain’t soulslikes if you have an easy mode.

                Hard pass. This sounds like the talk of gods. Those of us who follow the dark have no concern over matters such as “worthiness”

                  Claim the mantle of Dark, do ye? Thinkst thou ye may claim Lordship by right rather than might? You speak like the Gods, born into their might with little struggle.

                  Take it. A gift for a friend so ye may learn the way.
