Hot take: Modern video games, like Dark Souls, that only have a single difficulty setting are lazy game design at best and actively discriminatory at worst.
"But Jeph! Those games are designed to be hard!"

Sure - and I know some people love a challenge! There is zero reason by modern standards those games can& #39;t have their literal exact same difficulty setting, while also having an easier mode for those who want to enjoy it.
If a game has to have an experience that excludes others due to a lack of features for you to enjoy it, maybe do some self reflection on what that says about you as a person.

A huge range of people enjoy games for lots of reasons, don& #39;t gatekeep.
"Geez Jeph. You should just play a different game"

I have no desire to play a Souls game even if it had easier combat modes. I play games for the story and Souls doesn& #39;t really have that.

Y& #39;all are so selfish you think someone could only want to improve something for themselves
