Should dark souls have an easy mode?

>>381790269
>what is shield and circle strafe

In a game series that thinks its a good idea to even block DLC content behind obscure shit gates somekind of questlog would not be bad.

>>381790269
No thanks

>>381790269
pic unrelated?

basic gui and tutorials isn't 'easy mode'.

the worst part of the souls series is how obtuse even the basic story is. there's some really interesting lore but it's presented in such a way that the game fights you from understanding or finding any of it

YES

holy shit the only think holding this series back is how frustratingly difficult it is at every turn!

>>381790269

It already does, it's called summoning.

Imagine how awful Bloodborne would be with a map, fuck.

>>381790860

Dark Souls 3 is the easy mode of Dark Souls

As already said, it does. You can summon people in to trivialise everything. The only reason people ignore this and suggest a difficulty selection is to get clicks on their dying site.

Blocking makes the game easy.

I mean, Dark Souls is easy as hell anyway. Even finding the hidden shit is hinted at to an insanely high degree in descriptions of items, if you're not a retard and can remember it all.

I mean you can, but do you see how retarded this is?

>>381791504
Not really. The kind of people who summon and those who help those kinds of people are generally all the same. Plebs who don't know how to play.

Killing them is beyond easy. Even in a 4v1.

>>381790269
No because the gameplay is apart of its atmosphere. Without the brutal difficulty and no clear direction of where you go half of the atmosphere is gone.

No its not even that fucking hard to begin with

>>381790269
it would deteriorate the experience. overcoming insurmountable ods is part of what makes the series so great. sadly dark souls 2 & 3 flanderized the difficulty and completely ignored atmosphere and clever level design.

There would be no point. Dark soul is a game that tests you knowledge about the game. It's not action game. You need to know where items are, how to use them, what are movesets of weapon types, if you know all those things about the game dark souls becomes piss easy.

>>381791669
Unless it's a dedicated gank squad. I fight more gank squads than normal players, but maybe I just shouldn't invade in post-Sulyvahn Irithyll.

It's pretty much Pikmin, anon. By the time you shift focus towards one player, two others are at your back.

>>381792231
Not really. It's less about being "hardcore" and more about people generally being awful at the game.

Have you played Nioh? The game is very strange from a gameplay point of view. It's based on the souls formula, but the game is meant to be played like Ninja Gaiden. You can play the game like a Souls game, but again, it's meant to be played like a Souls game.
If you ever watch a stream of that game, you'll notice how awfully slow most people play that game. And it's not just one or two people, it's 99%.
That's how it is for Souls. 99% of the people who play it, even if they complete the game, are just downright awful at it.
It has nothing to do with "hardcore". They're just awful.

>>381792372
you have literally an entire maps worth of enemies to hide behind that do more damage than you and have more hitpoints. just fucking run behind them whenever you're out numbered and fuck people up. they'll run out of estus long before you do.

Yes, I'd never use it. And it wouldn't impact my ability to enjoy the game one way or another.
But it's sheer existence would make a lot of people upset and ruin their ability to enjoy the game. And that brings me great joy.

>>381790546

people actually believe this

>>381790269
Everytime I see this and the bloodborne one I find it kinda funny how much shit had to be slapped on and intentionally poorly done to make it look worse than it actually would be. Take out the controller, the quest segment, the text the author replaced the real text with on the bottom left for item slots, as well as the covenant/hp/fp/stamina bar words ontop of the bar and that's likely how it would look from most devs, including AAA ones.

I know thanks to stuff like Titanfall and Ubisoft trash there's this UI meme for bigger titles from any developer but if you actually look at the trend for non-ubi games, a lot of devs are shifting towards minimalism and HUD fade out.

And let's be honest, a small minimap wouldn't be the end of the world for souls games anymore. Everything after DeS and DS1 has so many teleport points and redundant shortcuts that you might as well stop pretending as a developer that your levels are hard to navigate or interconnected in any kind of impressive or meaningful way.

>>381790269
I dont mind DS having a map if that means levels would become less linear.

>>381793054
Look at me with a straight fucking face and tell me you'd have found how to access the DaS1 DLC without outside help.

No. That's what Summoning and the different starting sets are for.

The game is tuned to a specific difficulty. Or at least they tried to.

But for the sake of discussion, here's some ideas of what easy mode would be. Not all at once though.

1) Better starting gear, higher starting levels to use that gear.
2) No losing souls, no hollowing when dying, making grinding easier for incompetent players.
3) Double or higher souls dropped
4) Access to Havel's ring or similar earlier on.
5) Dark Souls 1-style poise. Make it a dedicated stat, and simply have Easy mode players start with a grossly higher stat (as part of starting at a higher level). This lets players mash through bosses a bit more.

None of these involve more difficult work of tweaking the AI, or segmenting PvP between players of easy and non-easy difficulty games. It thus lets you keep summoning mechanics the same.

You could also do some server-side tweaks to reduce or remove the invasion rate for Easy players, even when summoning.

Most players of videogames stop partway through, so the goal isn't to take those players to the end of the game, but keep them happy until they naturally quit like any other game.

This is exactly what I mean. By your definition everyone who isn't an anarchist is a fascist. By your definition every politician is a fascist. By your definition all non-ancom communists are fascists. By your definition Trump, Hillary and Sanders are fascists.

Please educate yourself before you start calling other people fascists, you're no fucking better than antifa scum.

No.

The games have never held your hand, nor should they.

The whole schtick behind them is they leave you to do whatever and kick your ass (or try to) in the process.

Taking that away would be taking away what makes the Souls games what they are.

Doesn't bother me. Only tryhard faggots care about normies playing their games.

Why should a game that isn't even hard have an easy mode? All of the bosses have the same "haha i delayed my swing slightly" gimmick and anyone with an IQ of over 80 should quickly realize this.

>>381790980

Except it has some of the toughest bosses in the series.

>>381790269
yes, just so that normal mode is harder

>>381790914

>>381793356

Trump is the embodiment of a fascist.

>>381793685
Examples? I find most bosses easy as fuck. Maybe except Midir, but he's hard only because some of his attacks have retarded, broken hitboxes.

not having an easy mode is a by product of frm software making the game exactly how they want rather than trying to make it accessible to as many people as possible, and thats why its so good

>>381790914
This.
Summons trivialize anything.
I'm convinced that most people beat the games by having people escort them through every area.

>>381793467
How is it fine? Making it almost mandatory for your players to expose themselves to outside information to solve something in your game isn't good anymore. Datamining and spoilers ruined the sense of comunal effort a long time ago, at least on any decently big game, which is one of the reasons by DaS1 and DeS were so fucking good at launch.

>>381790269
It already does, to access it you google "Dark Souls let's play". Don't even have to buy the game.

Having played the games since DeS and becoming proficient doesn't deny the fact that certain bosses provide a significantly larger challenge than others for other players.

I kick the shit out of everything, but there's no denying these fights are the ones people get shat on by more than any others.

Line that up next to DaS2 where every fight is bare bones, basic, and mostly groups, and DaS1 where everything was in a very early state of series polish, DaS3 sometimes has more refined and slightly tougher and more unique encounters.

nigga YOU'RE the one that is trying to ruin someone elses game, YOU have no risk in the risk/reward balance.

>>381796208
Look buddy nobody wants to play shitty ds3 invasions where the invader has 3 npcs with him and then runs away whenever they're losing a fight just to repeat the process all fucking day. That shit is fucking gay and so are you

I feel like an easy mode defeats the purpose of what the souls series is. Like its got a tons of lore and world building and interesting things to it, but what attracts players to the game in the first was that it was labeled as a difficult game.

>>381795786
You have to:
>Drop from the elevator
>Take a leap of faith which by the way is VERY likely to look unreacheable since the jumping is jank as fuck
>And thirdly and the most bullshit of all, curl for like 20 seconds before getting taken away
I'd legitimately enjoy the secret if curling up instantly triggered the cutscene but it doesn't and it's very likely you'll save it up for later thinking you need something to progress, or even discredit it at all.

I can't fucking believe whenever I dare to claim how terribly executed the revisit was people come in droves to call me "le vidya newfag!". Like just fuck off, you're not saying anything worth my or anyone's fucking time.

The easy mode is using coop summons. If you can't beat the game with it, I'm really sorry. I'm terrible at souls games as I can see from pvp and from how many tries I need to kill bosses, but even I could clear the game.

What we need is a supported hard mode that isn't "I arbitriraly decide to stay on soul level 1"

No, we need a supported NG+ that just isn't 'enemies gain more hp and attack, largely negating armor'.

As much as I dislike DaS2, it was on the right path with NG+ by adding in red phantoms to mix up enemy placement. Another step further is introducing new enemy abilities, changing up default enemy placements, limiting phantom summoning, allowing for invasions in defeated boss areas, etc. Honestly, anything that just isn't increased enemy and attack.

>>381799232
>not knowing map layouts that you invade on

No, because easymodes in vidya always create bad playing habits that end up stonewalling you when moving to higher difficulties

It has heavy armor

in my view, difficulty has three dimensions:

- ACTION, EXPERIENCE
games which score high on that: Wipeout, Tetris

- STRATEGY, KNOWLEDGE, RESEARCH, INSIGHT
all strategy games score high on that, especially turn based.

- PERSISTENCE, PATIENCE, FRUSTRATION TOLERANCE
grindy games like MMORPGS, but also punishing games like dark souls (difficulty is all about punishment)

Dark Souls is actually scores medium difficulty on all three dimensions. The game becomes fairly easy and plateaus out in terms of potential for skill improvement on the action dimension once you know how the game works (strategy).

Halved estus potentially multiple enemy players and if you die you leave your bloodstain where you died and could potentially lose your souls just like the player you're attacking whose phantoms don't share that same risk and will charge head on into you to chip away at your health even as they die only to be summoned again in 10 seconds by their baby of a host. Yes clearly the risk is all in the hosts department who at most will lose an ember instead of losing their fucking sanity after the fourteenth time they've killed the same loser phantom while the host sprints to summon signs.

In all honesty, I agree with this guy.

Through all the souls games I've played, I'm starting to think that item descriptions really isn't the best way for the lore to be unfolded.

See how the secret world unravels is lore, it's kind of a combination of quests, npc dialogue and items

It's not even hard, I'm playing The Surge and getting rekt in that, that game has some weird animation problems.

>Chugging Estus immobilizes you, and the heal isn't instantaneous meaning trying to chug while someone is sticking close to you will result in death

>Stamina regeneration is tied to weight, so a character at 10% burden will recover their bar faster than a character at 70% burden, giving an advantage and a reason to make a low burden character

>Poise exists and armor provides relevant, but not overpowering damage reduction, giving an advantage and a reason to make a high burden character

>Phantoms and Dark Spirits cannot chug estus, spirits can only heal via spell useage which is slow. This makes fighting outnumbered even without mob assistance possible since any damage you do sticks

>Can only perform four rolls before running out of stamina

>Can only perform 5 attacks of a rapier or straight sword before running out of stamina

>Parrying has longer recovery frames and consumes more stamina, making parry fishing riskier and makes parrying require higher skill

>Power stance allowing for unique combinations of dual wielding and unlocking an alternative moveset for weapons

>Being able to use the full moveset of a weapon in your off-hand including running, rolling, backstepping, etc. attacks rather than just being able to do a basic R1 swing and blocking with the weapon as it is in Ds3 (lmao who would ever want to weapon block)

holy shit when did the DS series become this shit that leaving a bloodstain is an actual drawback?

For the life of me I can't see why they didn't bring this back for 3.
Granted, having to fight hordes of ganksquads made me get significantly gud with UGSs and Greathammers but it was still beyond frustrating.

It already has an easy mode. Just fastroll

Across 50 or so invasions, I only came across three or four hosts with only one white phantom or less

>>381794167
The only reason any of these are "hard" is because they slightly delay certain attacks for half a second. As soon as you figure out that trick, they become easy again. Only hard fight is dancer since her speed is inversly relative to her healthbar

>on your first playthrough you struggle with some of the bosses but overall it's actually not that hard

What's that all about? Are people just so used to handholdy press-X-to-win games, that every bit of challenge is seen as something extraordinary these days?

>omg dark souls is the hardest game ever
>plays other games on default difficulty


ds fans are retarded as hell

>>381790269
Yes. The enemy count is reduced by 90%, all bosses are retained, you don't get any good equipment, and it's essentially a mode so easy babies can play it. It's a mode that treats casuals LIKE casuals.

>>381807334
You pretty much can get them for free if you farm darkwraiths.

>>381807334
>t. Fallen knight w/ dark sword

>>381790269
Yes.

Keep the game as it is and change the combat to be like in the Arkham series.

>>381790269
It has, it's called summons.
But it would be funny if they add Gimp-suit with 100% damage nullifier and Pink dildo of one shotting that can be equipped but not unequipped (wouldnt work in pvp thought)

>>381790269
The reason it's good is because it gives people a sense of exploration, i don't know how else to put it.

When you put in things like maps and direction arrows the game just starts feeling like a way point watching game - killing all immersion.

>>381790269
there already is its called coop.
and its actually a fun mode compared to a lame "get shit handed for free" mode.

>>381790269
>summoning
>looking up whatever the most OP build is online and using that

There's plenty of ways to trivialize the game already.
