The mediocre mindset carries to every aspect of your life by the way. Doing things you actually are into or is your hobby in a superficial way is a sign of low intelligence.

>>739312181
Playing on easy mode generally allows you to ignore most of a game's mechanics and just mash buttons. It's boring, not fun. Harder difficulties force you to learn and utilize the full breadth of a game's mechanics, to learn how your enemies function and develop a plan to counter them, and to understand your own character's skills. That kind of decision making and problem solving is the strength of video games as a genre.

The only time easy mode is worthwhile is if a game is badly designed and interaction with its mechanics is inherently unrewarding, but you still want to finish the game for other reasons.

THIS
Just the other day, I responded to some people on /vrpg/ who said the latest Shin Megami Tensei game was "boring". They were all playing on Normal instead of Hard. Some games are just more fun when they're hard.

I learned this playing Ocarina of Time 3D's Master Quest for the first time. "Wait, the keese kill me in three hits? I have to actually be careful about fighting them and pick them off with the slingshot or I might die? This is awesome!"

You easy mode niggers are fucking annoying. NOBODY gives a fuck about the difficulty you play on but you have a victim complex so you feel like everyone's looking at you, persecuting you so you feel the need to tell everyone you play on easy mode every single fucking day on every single fucking thread but there's nobody there. Nobody has brought up difficulty except you. Nobody gives a fuck except you. It's just your insecure ass schizoing in the dark afraid someone might enjoy playing on a higher difficulty. Get over yourself or do us all a favor and grab a 12 gage shotgun and blow your head off

>>739312181
Videogames are meant to be whatever challenge they are designed around, and that can include a high stress scenario that leads to deep focus and immense satisfaction from improving and succeeding. No one actually cares if you play games on easy mode beyond good natured ribbing, but they care if you constantly spout it like a mantra in an attempt to ruin their fun via DARVO tactics and dumbing down games as a whole because you're unwilling to engage with them.

If I want to relax, I'll play Minecraft or something. Reading or playing guitar is also much more relaxing than playing games, and can be just as challenging sometimes. But I guess if you just want to be drip-fed stimulation to keep yourself in a state of emotional and mental sedation, and that's your idea of "relaxing," keep doing what you're doing, i guess. The same applies to watching netflix or algorithmic slop.

Failure is a natural part of life, and you have to accept it before you can start succeeding. Let me ask you this: if you're learning a difficult piece of music, and you try just sightreading it at full tempo and you can't do it, do you lash out in anger and say there's something wrong with the instrument or the piece, or do you sit down and practice it until you can play it?

There's no easy mode in indie games. They either have "god mode" in the settings, or "game speed" setting which permanently locks the game into slow-mo bullet time mode.

If you have any self respect you play normal mode minimum. Easy mode exists for quickly zooming through the game for reviewers and journalists.

Game seems brain dead due to hack costing nothing and it slowing down time on every success. You can start a new hack immediately right after the first and finish or nearly finish it during the slow down, essentially giving you infinite hacks since the enemy can barely move, with which you can easily overheat them. This is on PC with a mouse though so maybe hacks take longer on a controller.

For tips that work on both though, expose node + point blank shotgun shots take out every boss pretty fast. There's also that one hack node that you can chain 10x and gets stronger every time. It actually scales up to a retardedly high number. If you combine the last 2-3 hits on it with the expose node and whatever else makes you do more damage you end up one shotting the boss...except for the gay hp locks which probably exist for this reason.

This is how Easy Mode should work.

First, build the game around Normal or Hard. Then, make it so that certain advanced mechanics are much, much easier to unlock on harder difficulties. For instance, let's say that your game has a mechanic where you can trade health for power. And there's also a skill tree or shop where you can buy more advanced or complex abilities related to this mechanic. The skills are very expensive, but the game keeps track of how much health you use, and the more you engage with the mechanic, the cheaper the skills become. On easier difficulties, the mechanic doesn't cost as much health. So let's say that on Hard Mode, you can trade like 50% of your health in one go for a high risk, high reward move. But on Easy Mode, this move only costs like 5% of your health. Because you can trade much more of your health on Hard for the same move, it applies a multiplier to the skill cost discount, meaning you can buy it much faster. But on Easy, you use so little health for the same move that the discount is extremely tiny.

The idea is to make it so that Easy Mode makes it simple to just brute force your way through everything, but all the cooler, interesting and advance mechanics become harder to engage with. The game never requires you to engage in these mechanics, the circumstances in which you'd use the mechanics come up a lot less. The important thing is that you don't lock the mechanics away behind harder difficulties. Instead, they're accessible, but they're always out of reach.

The difference should be clear if you watch a video on Youtube of someone else playing the game on harder difficulties. They're able to do all sorts of cool shit or engage with a bunch of neat mechanics, shit that's TECHNICALLY possible to do on Easy, but because the game just gets down on its hands and knees on that difficulty and just lets you plow it on the ass with no resistance, it's hard to do so.

Plenty of people actually relax playing stressful games, even, since youre way more immersed and invested into them.

This is why theres labels on EVERYTHING saying keep out of reach of children. They just play with or eat everything.

Nothing wrong with first statement.
Only problem is there are people who 'have a life' or 'too little time to git gud at video games' and they demand every game to get an easy mode.
>Games are supposed to be fun and relaxing, not stressful.
This part is just wrong.
While there's plenty of video games that can help you unwind and relax, pretending every game has to be like that is idiotic.
There are challenging games specifically made to test your limits and there's nothing wrong with that too, beside the demands from 'busy people' for easy mode I already talked about.

It's okay to play easy games just as much as it's okay to play hard games. I tend to play any action games on the hardest or second to hardest difficulty depending on how many they offer. To be a game, you must have a losing condition. I enjoy a stiff challenge and needing to put in effort to succeed. I also enjoy casual baby games like Kirby or comfy easy shit like Animal Crossing or Snow Runner. I can still enjoy those while also enjoying the cock and ball torture of Sekiro or Ys. You can enjoy both.

Pretty much. Very few adults (pretty much none worth caring about) give a shit if someone plays on an easy mode. The issue is when people start harassing devs and trying to force every game to cater to them because they're envious that other plays get an experience that they don't have the time or skill level to legitimately earn.

Look, shin megami tensei has been introduced to normies via persona and nintendsm.
The fanbase is on a spectrum so diametricially opposed that it looks like a bellcurve.
You got the story/meme/waifu fags on one end, and on the other the wizardboys contemplating death, life and the thermodynamics of samsara while planning another succesfull run of SMT3 hardmod, micromanaging every demon and build they gonna use with them.
>Ofcourse they go for TDE

What i want to say is, halve of the fanbase are troglodytes.
