Match the type of a game, sheesh.
Bethesda like open world? Gimmie difficulty levels - nothing will change with them except that people will be able to tailor the experience more.
Narrative and/or choice heavy game? Leave difficulty choice off to let the original vision of the author speak for itself - havimg parts too easy or hard due to watered down or pumped up difficulty can ruin the story.
Arcade/Dark Souls games? I...don't really see reasons for difficulty settings here except for harder than baselines ones? Like new game +. In these games, learning patterns and gettimg good is the game, there is no way around it.
All in all - not every game is for everyone, we have genres for a reason. Having difficulty tailored for arcades in open world exploration game makes no sense just as much as having watered down difficulty levels in narrative heavy games.
Some have limited time and want to enjoy a good game without being one-shot or learning patterns for 5 hours to beat a single boss.
Sounds like you'll need to play a different game then.
Sounds like you need to learn to respect the boundaries of others.
What? I am not interacting with your boundaries at all. I'm not forcing you to play anything that doesn't suit you. You are complaining that you want to play a game that doesn't suit you. Maybe you'll just have to get over the fact that it doesn't suit you and play something else?
Sounds like you are telling me what my taste is supposed to be
I am aware of it and have already decided it not being my cup of tea.
I am talking about those that like a moderate challenge but do not enjoy being stuck for 10hours at a stage without any meaningful progress to achieve.
You: "I don't like Souls games."
Them: "You may want to play a different game then."
You: "Stop telling me my taste!"
Maybe they should pick a game that provides a moderate challenge and not one that provides "being stuck for 10h at a stage without any meaningful progress"?
Can’t be real.
