@RogerRoger With most games I agree. Now Bloodborne and the like don’t have harder difficulties, but one they’ve focused on and doing anything would just be changing numbers to unbalance the game they’ve crafted. Which would also mess up the multiplayer they’ve made as well.
For other games that have difficulty options, they should have some sort of easier mode even if it’s not the most comprehensive thing.
And given how many games only put damage numbers up or down for difficulty options, I'm not surprised we don’t have more adaptive difficulties. We’re still just slowly getting better at that.
@RogerRoger Yeah, they called the PC version of DS2 the “Prepare to Die” Edition.
You know, I'm trying to think of games that haven’t had an easy mode as of late. What are some examples? I’m trying to think of non small games that might have the problem.
After being blocked for ‘being too negative about Sony’, it made me realise that these types of people are using the internet wrong. Seeing different opinions and responding to them, even if you don’t like them, is surely the entire point of discourse? If you just shut out negativity then you’d be in an echo chamber full of people praising Sony non-stop, which is exactly not what being a fan is.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I feel there’s a difference between clear trolling and genuine discourse though. If everybody just blocked people for not agreeing with them then it would entirely undermine the point of public forums.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I’m telling you, that one bolt is all that holds it together! It’s like a deck of cards held together through sheer force of will 😂
@nessisonett
I think that's just the age of social media for you, its easier than ever to create an echo chamber. It is disheartening to see people behave in that manner, going into overdrive with confirmation bias and dismissing anyone or anything that might bring another point of view. But I think all we can do is be careful not not make those same mistakes ourselves.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy@Kidfried@nessisonett Yeah seeing the same old comments from mostly the same people again and again has gotten a bit tiresome of late. Even when the news is a bit positive you see a load of negativity. Yep I get it, Sony has been really off with the messaging recently and slow in releasing the news in regards to PS5. Its disappointing and i get people are frustated by it. But I don't think there is a need or does anyone any good to keep banging the same drum again and again.
I try not read the comments as I mostly find it really depressing, and when I do I usually immediately regret doing so.
And for what it is worth Ness, I don't recall finding any of your comments particularly bad. There must have been some right horrors to be blocked.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
I've just seen the Digital Foundry video about XB series X running XB One and 360 games at 60fps.
I bet we'll see something similar next week with a PS5, right? 🙄
Honestly really impressed with how this analysis panned out
I'm glad Microsoft takes something as small as being able to play legacy content on their console this seriously. The lengths they went to optimize the 360 and OG Xbox games especially is really astounding.
@matrix243 Give it a name then. You can’t just make a thread called NULL, there’s no point. Insert very long pause for laughter from the two people who get that joke.
@Draco_V_Ecliptic Yeah, it’s quite full on since they’re cramming a lot of work into each week but I’m doing alright I guess. Networking’s probably the most intense one, it’s a lot of heavy theory that would have been better coming from a lecturer in person rather than just making notes from a textbook. As long as I still have a few hours a week to myself, I’m happy!
