Nothing personal.

Play games how you like.

Ill play armoured core. Ill play stardew valley. Difficulty doesn't mean good. Easy doesnt mean bad.

Play how you want. Don't go online being a fucking vegan about it.

Tedious = bad.

I beat the game. And thanks to the 200 hours I saved by giving myself infinite money I can beat even more games.

WE DON'T USE THE WORD FUN HERE CHUD

>>735078684
Yyyyep, I have 2 summons in Dark Souls and let them fight everything while I stand way back and watch. It's called fun.
>>
>>735078684
What if I can’t enjoy a game unless I know that it filters easy mode carebears?
>>
>>735078684
Only after you beat it on normal.
>>
>>735078684
More games should do bad endings for playing on the easiest difficulty
>>
Enjoying a challenge is not a real thing apparently
>>
>>735078684
Why are easyfags so insecure? They try to make it sound like they're standing up to all this bullying, but no one ever talks about people playing easy games or on easy mode. You do, however, see easyfags talking about how people who like challenge are "sweats" and losers, have no life, etc. etc.

Sounds like you have some sort of concern with yourself playing on easy mode.
>>
That's why i like The Burning Crusade one baseline difficulty for raids, it offers some challenge without being completely imbalanced & overtuned. Once it turns to mythic the treadmill really ruins it for me

Then there's "phone it in" difficulty where all the enemies have padded health pools with increased damage, it's not so much difficult as it is tedious needing to flawlessly execute damage-opportunities whilst avoiding every last mechanic

My earliest memories of a struggle video game was Oddworld: Abes Odyssey, mess up once and you're dead start again. Eventually managed to beat it but the sense of accomplishment was not worth the hardship.
I am quick to anger so souls-like games that demand perfect inputs just make me mad as hell. Have not purchased Elden Ring for this reason, Hades was a big waste of money.

Bindings of Isaac was good because you could overpower the enemies with a bit of luck / skill & perseverance. souls-like has no such countermeasures, you're either good or you're shit until you bang your head against the brick wall long enough
>>
>>735080462
Spot on really, they always talk about how they're tired from their job and active social life so they have to play on easy. That's insecurity.
>>
>>735078684
nu-uh you didn't enjoy it right

I mean, not true.
But if you can't handle a little bit of banter over you obviously taking a lamer, simpler approach to something I don't know what to tell you

Agreed. There's nothing wrong with having a small penis. Some men are just bottoms.

>>735080462
Difficultyfags literally have to make shit up to prop themselves up kek. Makes sense why you would feel achievement from bullshit numbers on screen.

>>735081154
If you engage with your hobby in a mediocre way that tells me a lot about the rest of your life actually.
>>
>>735081250
What's mediocre about playing on easy?

>>735078684
Now try beating a war game with this.

>>735078684
listen, I don't care if you play on easy
but if you did play on easy, please don't make statements about the balance of the game
>>
The problem with this is that easy is just extremely easy nowadays, like for literal retards or kids who can't read. I'm surprised an adult can be entertained that way.
>>
>>735081596
Friend of mine does that shit despite also wanting to quit the game, but stays for the group experience.

Unlike you my fulfillment in life isn’t achieved through how I play with my toys.
>>
>>735078684
I disagree. It makes it pretty much impossible to discuss because you played a different game than me. You didn't face or overcome the same obstacles. You didn't have to develop any strategies. You were essentially a passenger, being mindlessly shepherded through a facade of the checkpoints everyone else went through.
Video games shouldn't even have a difficulty selection. Why even play a game at all if you don't want to engage with it? You might a well have just watched it on YouTube.
>>
>>735078684
Want to know how you can tell when someone plays games on easy...
>>
>>735080462
Sure whatever https://youtu.be/ZpSrCSkP1Eo

>>735086754
They’re good at extracting (you)’s from retarded faggots on /v/?
>>
>>735078684
Or you could play and complete each difficulty starting from easy so you master everything from; Mechanics, to hidden items, perfect weapon combos, OP strategy and knowledge etc.
>>
>>735090196
Fuck that. I've always hated when a game rewards you for beating the game with hard mode. 99.99% of games are not enjoyable enough that I'm going to start a second playthrough right after the first.
>>
>>735090196
Easy was always meant as the "I Don't Know What To Do" mode for people who can't figure out that stuff. The difference now is that even Normal has become too easy.
>>
>>735080462
This every time. Easyfags are the ones far more often than not that cry and demand games be dumbed down instead of playing other games or trying to improve, no matter how selfish that makes them for wanting to ruin the fun of everyone else who enjoy interesting challenges of which games as a whole are built upon. They are the ones that project hard and cannot stand the mere possibility that someone could be better at or understand more about a game than them. They ironically are the ones that strengthen the sense of accomplishment from beating harder challenges they try to demonize from whining so much about it when others simply do it for fun.
>>

>They are the ones that project hard
difficultyfags never send their most self aware it seems.
>>
>>735078684
As long as you admit to beating it on easy, I'm okay with that.
There's other things about a game to be enjoyed other than its gameplay, and I'd hate to deprive someone of that experience.
>>
>>735078684
Being happy with the game you played is better than expending any emotional energy fretting over how strangers played it. I'd say your hypothetical person comes out ahead there.
>>
>>735078684
alright but in order to be able to FULLY enjoy them you should crank up that difficulty and get the full experience.
>>
>>735086013
What is chuddie?

>>735078684
>I'm the biggest fan of video game ever, I played through it once on the lowest difficulty with save states and it took me a whopping 2 hours to beat it, please take my opinions seriously as I will now flood 90% of the catalogue with them

You’ll understand when you’re older chud
