    There’s no way to add an easy mode without compromising the dev’s vision.

    It would be as easy as putting a slider to reduce damage taken/increase damage inflicted.

    If people want to go experience they can play the og game.

    Take Celeste for example. Celeste is a game meant to be hard, beating Celeste is supposed to be a trial for the player, it’s their mountain to conquer.

    And yet, Celeste gives so many accessibility options you can trivialize the game. The people that need it get to play the game and the people that don’t need it, play the game as intended.

    That’s not to say that Dark Souls should have an easy mode. Just saying that it could, easily, have one. They don’t because they’d rather maintain the image of being a hardcore™ game than help people with less time/skill/capabilities play the game.


  • I just think it’s bizarre to have a black dude protagonist in a historical japanese setting.

    Why? He is a historical figure. Why does a historical figure in his historical setting feel bizarre?

    I’ve read through the sources on Yasuke and I think it’s a stretch to say he was like a full fledged samurai.

    Potato potato. Why him being a “full fledged samurai” even matters? The series is known to take creative liberties with history.

    Seriously ask yourself why having ONE SINGULAR black protagonist in a series where protagonists have so far been overwhelmingly white feels like “black people getting pushed into games”.

    Because to me, it sounds like you have seen too many opinions of people getting outraged and because of that you internalized their views without asking yourself why they (and now you) feel the way they do.


  • Why is everyone here pretending like palworld isn’t a straight up Pokemon clone that went a bit too close with the designs? I mean the game was basically marketed as pokemon with guns. I know you guys have this new hate for Nintendo, but this isn’t even them.

    Because it doesn’t matter. Palworld isn’t getting sued for copyright infringement, it is being sued for patent infringement.

    If I made a game about an Italian contractor with a red hat and mustache that fights mushroom people and turtles, you guys would defend it and claim it isn’t a copyright issue lol

    Again, Nintendo isn’t suing for copyright infringement, but for patent infringement. It’s more like Nintendo suing Monster Hunter Stories for allowing you to ride your monsters (this is literally one of the patents Pal World is getting sued for).




  • I think you might be underselling how important things like the steam workshop and steam’s multiplayer support are.

    Games like Starbound or Don’t Starve benefit a lot from the workshop.

    While insert any party game gains a lot out of steam’s multiplayer support and friend list.

    Also, while I don’t use Linux myself, Steam is one of the main reasons why Linux Gaming is a thing.
