The stress of Sekiro is in the timings though. Failure and death in sekiro is largely irrelevant. In many instances you can just throw yourself at the bosses and retry as often as you want. Some require lesser enemy picking off here and there. Yes people get rot but its manageable due to items you can purchase and…

I don’t disagree that accessibility is a great thing to have in games. I just don’t believe that developers should be lampooned for creating a specific, crafted, difficult experience, if they’re not interested in capturing a wide audience. Not every game has to appeal to everyone.

Disagree. Sekiro’s world, characters and story are fine but the real experience is the gameplay. The excitement of exchanging blows with enemies almost like a choreographed dance. Making the game easier would just allow players to rush down bosses while disregarding their defense because damage becomes less of a…

No it’s not. Braille is just a different format of the same thing, a translation. It doesn’t make the book any easier to process or read. Ulysses in text or braille is still Ulysses, and still hard as fuck to read. There is no easy mode for hard literature, or abstract film, etc., and the consumer does not get to…

Games aren’t books or movies, Heather. By design, they’re not going to be playable by everybody. That’s too bad, but that’s the nature of the medium.

This kinda sounds like the whole participation trophey arguement.

There are so many games out there, Joshua. This one just isn’t for you, and that’s okay. It doesn’t need to bend over backwards with an easy mode.

I would just say that From Software games aren’t for you, if that’s chief concern. I get that there is people that want to experience them, but not the difficulty. But there is a million games out there that are easy, and hold your hand, and beat you over the head with all the info they have. That’s most of what…

Very good article. Unfortunately, at heart, this isn’t even a video game issue. This is a people issue -you see similar creepiness everywhere from professional athletes to politicians to Hollywood to music to, yes, video game players.

“Favorite streamer”

These streams are young people playing videogames. That’s it. They aren’t saints or heroes, and they certainly aren’t above the many issues that plague people in general.

Hey Ethan, if you want to write about something cool in the game, maybe don’t bookend your article with declarations of how bad the game is and instead, I don’t know, just talk about the cool thing. Shitting on the game diminishes a pretty cool accomplishment by this player. And no, couching your criticisms in…

Or more accurately, teenagers are being too hard on these teenagers.  Which pretty much sums up all teenaged interactions.

Gita: People are being too hard on these teenagers

This meme is now part of that meme.

I was going to say, the design of Ivy is pretty self explanatory: They want a sexy dominatrix wearing impossible clothing with gravity defying boobs to fap over.

I believe this article is part of that meme.

The moment you realize that Pokemon have better healthcare than most people in America and its free.
