Comment on I'm loving zelda-like souls-likes right now

  It does, and that’s a great thing, but playing the game as intended is pretty rough for me. Like I said, if that kind of difficulty is your gig, go for it, or, if you don’t mind tweaking the difficulty and playing an easier version, then go for it. I’m playing a soulslike for the difficulty, so changing it to make it easier feels like going against principals.

    So the developers put difficulty and accessibility options in the game, but didn’t intend for people to actually use them? You play the game for the difficulty, but you also don’t enjoy the difficulty?

    To me this just sounds like you’re putting artificial restraints on yourself and then blaming the developers for it. They want you to customise the game to your liking. That’s why they put all those sliders in. They’ve said as much themselves (although it should be self-evident). The only principle you should care about when playing a single player video game is “am I having fun?”. If your principles lead to you not enjoying yourself with games, you need to re-evaluate your principles.
