Dont you just love souls fans

Most insufferable people on earth with the tiniest of egos

“No but you aren’t supposed to use spells it makes the game easier” stfu

I paid £40 for this im using whatever the firetruck i want

[raiden94 1]

Oh that's easy

You see, Soulsbros, not fans of Souls games, but, the ones we would, or I would, call Soulsbros can be quantified 2 ways.

1. They're older gamers who got jaded by the industry years ago, and they see FromSoft's games as the last bastion of what they would consider "true" games. They're hard, there's no diffuculty sliders, there's no long cutscenes, it's just you, and the game. Because of this, they have it in their mind that these are the true ways games should be made. They have a mindset FS is an under dog, even tho no. No They're not. And they haven't been since Bloodborne. They feel they need to safeguard and protect this company and their games. From the "bad" gamers. So they gatekeep, they become elitist. They dismiss any and all criticism as skill issue- because they can't bare to see their iotolah, their idol- their BEACON OF HOPE, criticized.

2. The beat the games like once and have a big ego about it and critique the way you play to feel better about how they struggled.

"Black Knight Halberd is OP! 😭"

"Sorceries are OP! 😭"

"Summoning is OP! 😭"

The only thing OP around here is my blistering hatred for you, how bout that?

Don’t forget the ones who brag about beating pre patched bosses 😭

Its so funny

[hawk222_1550644792 16]

funny you should mention that because that's practically exactly what the same guy put in his review of elden ring:
> Life isn't fair and we already have enough people who lie about beating/playing games and all this would do is help dishonest people cheat their way onto different message boards with claims of "ER is easy i beat it in three days" when all they did was play on accessibility mode, with mods while using an app to unlock every achievement in the game. The lack of integrity in the PC gaming space is quite profound and ER/DS is one of the last beacons of what gaming felt like back in 2006-2007 when achievements/beating a game felt like it meant something.

Murata isn’t a conquistador, but her motorcyclist get up is only slightly better.

Put some Aztec pizzazz in that lady PLEASE.

[raiden94 1]

OH MY GOD.

I have no words or witty comment

Just

holy shit bro

Thats whack-a-roni and cheese

[Daz_4th 7]

“no you’re NOT a gamer” headass

the way they make it sound it’s as if they want 3D NES games in 4K

[raiden94 1]

... ok so- basically lmao

[Otti#8624 26]

The thing I hate the most is that to them accessibility is just easy mode

[Daz_4th 7]

OH YEAH I NOTICED LMAO

[Otti#8624 26]

While yes that would help, there are so so many more stuff you can do for accessibility that wouldn't make the game easy

[Otti#8624 26]

From sound design to UI settings to color settings

And so much more

[Daz_4th 7]

accessibiIity settings feeIs Iike heIping coIour bIind peopIe, messing with the contrast, easy to pIay via audio onIy (something TLOU naiIs)

[raiden94 1]

Im really glad you worded it like that

Many, I would say most, of the people who genuinely want acrual accessibility controls don't want an "easy" mode, that's not what it is-

It's a "allows them to play the firetrucking GAME" mode

[hawk222_1550644792 16]

for anyone wondering: genshin dropped a new trailer and revealed a bunch of upcoming characters. supposed leader of the next nation (which is based on places like south america and africa) is about as white as they come

I gotta say insomniac reaIIy put my expectations ahead in terms of what to expect out graphicaI modes

I thought going into PS5 gen we'd get:
quaIity mode: aIways 4K with raytracing, but 30fps
performance mode: mostIy 4k at 60fps, but no raytracing
RT performance, sort of 1440p at 60fps with raytracing

instead we've gotten:
quaIity mode: sometimes 4K with mid visuaIs
performance mode: sometimes 1080p 60fps with mid visuaIs
RT performance mode: 😂
