I cannot think of a more retarded fanbase in gaming than Fromfags. You just know that 99% of the people screeching whenever the topic of adding difficulty options to these games gets brought up play them by searching "most op Elden Ring builds" or "how to become op in 15 minutes" videos on YouTube.

it's a somewhat valid take, but Elden Ring is just a gay game

>>712404461 (OP)
Most people don't play like this anyway, and the people who do are either women (lol), faggots (lol) or becoming one of those soon

easier playstyles like magic and summons ARE difficulty options, better ones than a stupid slider at that

>>712404461 (OP)
>it ruins the shared experience of the game because not everyone is playing on the same field
Why not just have subsequent difficulties that unlock as you beat the easier ones so that people who want a more challenging experience can get one during replays and people who just want to see what the game is about don't have to get pulverized?

You know like in Sekiro.

Personally I had an easier time killing Margit with a melee build than a magic one but I didn't use summons against him. ER bosses in general felt pretty difficult to kill with anything other than the faster pebble spells and the sword spells because everything else takes so long to complete that you get smacked out of the animation before it finishes no matter how you time it. Magic is ridiculous outside of boss rooms though, at least as long as you have BIG ROCKS to hit everything that auto-dodges instant projectiles.

>>712404461 (OP)
at the time Demons Souls came out, checkpoint systems have reached their peak density in video games. Demons Souls having "checkpoints" only between stages (meaning if you fail you need to restart the stage) made it a fresh experience. Same goes for the first Dark Souls game where most checkpoints before bosses weren't exactly close the boss, you had to keep repeating the same annoying death runs if you failed. They went back on that in DS2 and forward

They never were very hard games but they had elements that most gamers at the time weren't expecting, thus giving them a learning curve, making them "hard" for new players

>>712407059
no they are not better, they are worse by a mile because they play the game for you robbing players or any enjoyment

souls games aren't that hard. you must be pretty fucking retarded to not be able to have the easy experience you want from either the magic builds, summoning, or just over leveling your character.

when i saw kronii do that, i knew i finally had something to shup up the mouth of my friend that said magic required skill

That's exactly the thing, the player builds their own difficulty by choosing their weapons and stategies instead of touching magical world controls that make everything deal less damage. One player can say they had trouble on this boss so they cheesed him with summons and magic, while another is good so he did it at level 1. The experience presented by the game to both those players was exactly the same, but their difference in skills allowed them to use different strategies to overcome a challenge.
Meanwhile, with difficulty levels, a player who's having too much trouble can just touch that magical control and get an entirely different experience from anyone not playing on that same easy mode. They're now playing a completely different game. Nothing they say about their playthrough is worth anything because they didn't even play the game the producers wanted them to enjoy.

>>712415523
i think op is kinda right, the experience is already different if you use those things.

the biggest advantage of having difficulty in the form of summons/bell/magic is that people can say i beat X boss and not feel bad about it because he didnt lower the diffculty.
with summons and magic people can cope saying "is in the game so is fair" while if the game had easy and normal difficulties people would feel really bad for lowering the difficulty and many would prefer to stop playing the game before having to lower the difficulty.

now if we had difficulty sliders it would allow shit players to use all the builds not limiting them to only the baby mode magic or easy hyper armor perma stun quintillion dmg unga bunga, and good players could use magic as their first playthrough and not feel like they are cheating because magic would be balanced to be fair.

>>712416234
If a game's dev adds difficulty options, it means he thinks you aren't good enough to play their game in its original difficulty. Are you so much of a cuck that you'll take that insult without even trying to prove them wrong?

Kronii knows how to govern her fandom with a steady hand.

I want the game to be "about" beating a challenging experience. I don't understand these people who say they "just want to see the rest of the game". Go watch it in youtube, you're not actually experiencing it if you don't beat its challenges. Same weird club as people who look up solutions in puzzle games.

Fromfags defend a lot. Nightreign could be a great game, but it has some major flaws that people will screech at you for attacking:
>Any boss that sits there and does nothing to you as you hit its side is shit
>Any boss that runs away from you constantly and/or spams AOE attacks (almost) all fight is shit
>The roguelite elements are shit
>Relic acquisition being a gacha is shit
>Having only one map is shit
>Despite having 4 games to pull from, the enemy variety is shit
6/10 game. At least it doesn't run like shit.

As far as difficulty goes, it's whatever. I don't want an easier mode, but the coming night bosses will effectively be a hard mode. The main thing you lose in a game by not incorporating multiple difficulties is that you'll never be able to make a game that challenges the more dedicated and skilled of your fanbase and keeps them invested. If the -tide games didn't have higher difficulties (and I'd love Darktide to get modded Damnation because Havoc 40 was fucking tedious last time I played it), I wouldn't have played them as much as I have.

>>712407059
>better
Disagree. If one is too easy/hard for someone, they won't play it. That hurts replayability and the overall user experience, especially if someone really wanted to enjoy that playstyle. There needs to be a balance between playstyles. They don't have to be on the exact same level, but it needs to be reasonable. There's a reason so many people crutch on Ironeye, and so long as they play with damage fallof in mind, they're still able to contribute significantly.

>>712404461 (OP)
But soulslikes do have difficulty options by letting you grind and provide OP builds.
It's just cope for rollsloppers to not acknowledge them as such to uphold the myth about beating a "hard" game.
Don't misunderstand me, it's completely fine to do this, but like sticking to meta in multiplayer games it's just an easy mode with extra steps to pick.

>"most op Elden Ring builds"
The webm you posted is literally a starting class using a default spell provided from the get-go and a mechanic that is basically the first thing introduced once you start the game. This isn't some epin leet gameplay to seethe over, literally any player who pays attention to the game's introductory area can use these mechanics, especially spirit ashes.

If you specifically ignore the most basic shit the game gives you and then seethe at random other people for actually using mechanics then you deserve nothing more than to stew in your own retardation. Yes retard, it is fine to use the game's mechanics, everyone has access to them.
