Comment on Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games
Squirrelanna@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 days agoNow imagine there’s a song that comes out that you like the themes of. It’s catchy, it hits your buttons just right. One problem: When you play the song, it turns your volume to maximum. Others insist that max volume is part of the artistic intent. You just need to keep on listening at max volume over and over until you can appreciate it. If you could listen to it at a lower volume, it would be a lesser experience. Why? You don’t see what this specific volume has to do with the things you enjoy about the song. People can listen to it at max volume, but there’s plenty of people who would rather listen at the volume they choose. Why not allow for a volume slider?

There’s plenty of music that I can’t connect with for one reason or another. I don’t demand artists make music I enjoy, I go out and find artists I enjoy and listen to their music. If an artist made a song that somehow turned the volume up to full everytime I put it on, that is their right as the artist to make regardless of whether or no I or anyone else enjoyed it. I fucking can’t stand country music, so I simply listen to other music. If I demanded all country musicians made music I enjoy, I wouldn’t expect anyone on earth to respect my requests because it’s not a respectable request. There are many other devs out there making games with plenty of difficulty adjustments. You should play those games.

A genre is not comparable to a difficulty slider. And a difficulty is not a genre.
