!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

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

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 do not want McDonald's Souls. I get that you're fine with it, I'm not.

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

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.
