i genuinely do not understand the difficulty debate! i dont! even with soulsborne (AND I LIKE SOULSBORNE.) like what ??? what does it matter??? "the games are meant to be challenging" YES. THEY ARE. BUT THEY ARENT MEANT TO BE IMPOSSIBLE. "challenging" is different for every person. the challenge of soulsborne games isnt meant to make you feel like shit. they WANT you to succeed. if someone wants more challenge they will pick the more challenging mode. its not that hard oh my god

#realisations ive had since blasting through p5r on normal and patho 2's difficulty settings update #take. take fire emblem. right #casual & classic mode. casual was added in awakening. has stuck around ever since. yeah?#does that stop people from playing classic iron man (no resets when characters die) runs? no?#people who want to be challenged will seek out that challenge #i wouldnt be playing bloodborne if i didnt want that challenge! when i replayed spider-man (example) i played on the hardest difficulty!#pathologic 2's difficulty systems literally say yk 'this is the recommended way to play BUT'#you can make it harder. you can make it easier.#also shoutout to dishonored (2) for not including hard mode achievements common arkane w & all that #BUT EVEN LIKE. ACCESSIBILITY OPTIONS. VISUAL CUES. ADJUSTABLE SUBTITLES?#what the FUCK would it matter if a difficult game has visual cues. fucking online games have visual cues. PVP GAMES. HAVE VISUAL CUES.#i cant speak for the disabled people who struggle with games. yeah? i was raised on them. i like playing fromsoft games.#but why some people are so obsessed with excluding these groups is beyond me #anyway rant over im running late for school you get the point #i apologize for the git gud crowd. they are horrible even to each other #videogames should either be fun or specifically made to be Not Fun (but then end up fun anyway hello pathologic)#or soemthing like that idk im autistic & have chronic pain i play videogames on high difficulties sometimes dont mind me
