Credibly_Human comments on Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games

[–] Credibly_Human@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (13 children)

What makes you think every game should be for every person?

What makes you want to make such a clear strawman argument?

No, it absolutely isn’t a made up idea that allowing barnacles to glomp on to an experience so that they can feel included cheapens the whole experience.

I love that you literally cant answer the question because you know its immature gamer gate keeping. You just completely avoided it.

I'll repeat:

Lets say they keep everything as it is right now, like they literally have the games they already have and add some difficulty options like less annoying backtracking. How does this “ruin” your experience?

Shrugs

Git gud

Edit: for a real answer, since the advent of video games there have been people like you claiming that they're too hard. Video games are meant to be beaten. They are literally designed that way, just because you can't seem to beat them doesn't mean everyone should conform to you.

Seriously, go pick a different game. Thousands of games exist with difficulty sliders. Pick one and shut the fuck up about the ones that don't.

This is not a real answer at all.

This is you first poisoning the well by insinuating that I'm bad at games firstly, and then pretending that these settings only have to do with hardness in 1 dimension. Its not remotely a good faith effort to answer.

Why would I assume anything but ineptitude on your part?

You either have a fundamentally flawed understanding of why single difficulty games exist or you are just bad at games. I don't care which, I will say that Atomfall is extremely fucking boring.

If you were being a reasonable well rounded human being and not a toxic gamer trope, that would be a reason.

You either have a fundamentally flawed understanding of why single difficulty games exist or you are just bad at games.

Given that not a single person has been able to make a cogent argument for them existing and the second thing is the comment of a toddler, Im going to go with the third option that Im shocked this level of toxicity exists on lemmy.

I don't know why I expected better, but this is bottom of the barrel. You get better conversation on reddit, legitimately. This is all over a difference in opinion on difficulty settings in gaming. Its amazing really. Like you never sat back for a second and thought about how you were acting over a video game opinion.

No, this is all over you deciding that what you think is superior to everyone simply because you've declared it.

There are games that are designed to have varying difficulties. There are games that are not. Both can be complete experiences, both can be dogshit and lazy. I really don't care what you 'expect' because Atomfall absolutely falls in the 'lazy as fuck' category. Gunplay is basic. Melee combat is basic. Stealth consists of 'be behind something, don't not be behind something'.

And you want to know something? It's ok to be entertained by a game like that! What's not ok is turning around and acting like you have some valuable opinion centered on games being more like fucking Atomfall.

Edit: I'm gonna quote you

Apples are so much better than oranges. You don't have to peel Apples, the skin is actually good for you. I honestly fucking hate oranges because I can't just bite into them.

If the above seems like an unreasonable statement to you, congratulations — you have conceded the argument. If you agree with the above statement, congratulations — you have outright lost the argument.

At this point you arent even pretending to argue in good faith so there isn't much point in continuing. You're incapable of good faith discussion it seems, cant answer simple questions and couldn't make an honest comparison to save your life.

Hopefully you don't explode over every minor disagreement you have.

Lmao, lashes out and calls people toxic children and can't handle being shut the fuck down.

Cry more, Atomfall is dogshit — your argument hinges on a joke.

Edit: the cherrypicking is amusing, I'll be sure to share this with my MonHun friends. They're really gonna get a kick out of this.

If you aren't 14 you should be embarrassed to be writing like this.

What was that? I couldn't hear you over the ad hominem, you can cry in this cup I'm holding.

Difficulty sliders have existed for decades, just because you're an idiot that's never noticed that the games they're attached to are typically bad isn't my problem. Maybe go research game balance and why different designs exist for different games, it isn't my responsibility to drag you to the finish line.

You are so toxic right now that if you ever grow as a person you'll think back to how shitty you were right now in time.

Literally talking like a 4channer to someone, calling them an idiot, pretending you know what an adhominem attack is because you .... don't like adjustable difficulty settings in video games (and seem to think that sliders are all that difficulty settings are).

Holy fuck you're dense.

I have already addressed that you can have complete experiences from both single difficulty games and variable difficulty games.

The only thing that is unique about Atomfalls difficulty settings outside of the difficulty sliders is that there's a very very easy mode instead of a very hard mode.

Again, research design philosophy for video games. Because as other users have mentioned — you are objectively incorrect. In the exact same way as someone who believes that games should only have one difficulty are incorrect.

Edit: actually, fuck you — I've read the rest of these comments. You've earned the tag "Terrible at video games".

Edit 2: no no, I've got an even better tag — "IGN Game Journalist".
