So what, I have to dive in deep just to get the correct stats to have the difficulty that I want?
How about my old retired dad, is he not allowed to play dark souls because he doesn't have the same reflexes he did 40 years ago? Because it would otherwise invalidate your sense of pride for being able to beat it?
Dark Souls should have a story mode difficulty. Every game should.
Claiming it shouldn't is selfish.
People beat the games blindfolded. People beat them one handed and without dodging or leveling up.
There's no need to dive deep either. The souls games have to be some of the best thought out games I've played in a long time. Progression makes sense as you play. If an enemy is too tough just walk away and come back later.
Stats scale pretty simply with the game and you can play as you want. Dark souls doesn't need a story mode and not every game does either.
If you want to make the argument for accessibility, fine. But asking for the bar to be lowered because you can't or won't learn the mechanics of a game is wild to me. It's like asking the devs of Overcooked to make the dishes cook themselves because it gets hard to play.
A sense of entitlement to features in a creative work not made by you is the real selfishness.
It is only a creative work if it can be enjoyed. Otherwise it are just bits on a harddrive.
