Sekiro adding an easy mode or assist mode will not take away the normal difficulty.

I guess if the ‘easy’ difficulty was like reducing all enemy hp, damage, and defenses then I can see how it wouldn’t take away from the ‘normal’ difficulty. That’s just changing some numbers in the enemy coding

Although I can easily imagine if there was an ‘easy mode’ added, there would be some article online with the title “Sekiro’s Easy Mode too Easy?”

But I do wonder if adding an easy mode would inform developer decisions with, say, enemy placements or boss mechanics, even unconsciously.

Then don't play on that mode.

The way I take it to mean is that the person who played Darks Souls on normal mode and fell in love with the series is not going to be the same experience the person who played the same game on easy mode is going to have.

But maybe the person who plays on easy mode isn’t into learning the combat mechanics like the person who plays it on normal and rather look at the scenery or collect all the items for lore

It should, because they should be thinking about it regardless. I'll just keep pointing towards DMC5 a bunch while this discussion happens.

How does DMC5 do it?

Isn’t there some mechanic where the combat music gets added to/better the higher your combo rank? Does the easy mode there disable that or something so you can hear the SSS version of the music no matter your skill level?

You just know if the next soulsborne game had selectable difficulties, these same people would say the normal mode sucks because the overall game had to be ‘dumbed down’ for the easy mode

literally nobody is saying games should be easier across the board so more people can enjoy them. they want the option. and if the response to that is "the resources to do that aren't there" then say that instead of complaining about entitled gamers

I think I’m kind of sort of in that camp

I tried to voice it earlier, but I think a soulsbourn game designed with multiple difficulty modes in mind would be different from one that had one difficulty in mind

You can't assuage the difficulty to allow people to "experience the story" of sekiro, because the difficulty is part of the story.

What you think is “easy” might be “hard” for someone else

The difference is an easy/assisted mode for them makes the game as hard as it is for you on normal difficult, instead of impossible for them

I'm not watchingthe podcast live, but uh, if this week they go into a rant about Orochimaru again, that's my bad, I sent them a screencap of Konohamaru recording Orochimaru hanging in the village, wishing Naruto and Hinata a happy wedding, and they responded to it in the middle of their livestream.

Someone should tell them about Sarada Gaiden just to see Whoolie die from how batshit that plot went

So what was up with Luigi’s last story? Is the joke that he actually lost and is lying? Or that he’s been very prose about everything up to that point but he doesn’t know how to end the story?

This probably isn’t the intended reading, but you could read it as the Gavin Archer (the lead scientist who oversaw… all that) and Cerberus at large as being complete dipshits who have no idea what they’re dealing with, and who’s projects always ends in total disaster and many of their people killed

Remind me again why roll back net code isn’t a standard adopted by fighting games? Is it just because the companies are too stuck in their ways and don’t see the need to adopt new systems?

This week's Beastcast as Woolie and Pat were talking about Stranger Things and how cool it would be to have a setting where different stories with different characters can happen with the occasional appearance with characters from past stories... and all I could think was they should try out The Legend of Heroes: Trails games

Pat did, and quit because his OCD prevented him from getting past the first town.

Woolie genuinely would dislike it because of tropes.

Maybe there's hope for Pat if he's still doing Mind Goblins streams

I think the series is good, but I can understand where he’s coming from. It’s taken me a year and a half going through the Sky games and CS1-3; on 4 atm. And even then I ended up just watching a Let’s Play of Zero and Azure. For a streamer that’s a pretty big commitment.
