That's exactly the point. What's easy for one person can be insurmountable to another. What's the harm in catering to both?

This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".
Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.
Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:
[BB] This enemy is so difficult!
or
[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

And that's fair. But you probably wouldn't bat an eye if there were, in addition to that, just a couple sliders fine-tune to your liking or additional options to tick for those that want that, right? At least it sounds like that from your comment. Some people are just very adamant about such options ruining the game for players
Yeah I don’t mind if a game has difficulty settings. I think they’re a crude way of modifying challenge level, but if that’s how the designer wants to construct the experience, that’s their call. On the flip side, I also respect it if the designer considers those settings incompatible with the experience they’re trying to create; the presence of those settings does have a meaningful impact on the experience of playing the game (this wouldn’t be such a consistent topic if they didn’t), and I don’t believe creatives should be obligated to compromise their vision.
