Games that punish players that don’t want to be punished shouldn’t exist. Offering “God Mode” or similar features is fine! But since this game offers no other difficulty levels, this is simply false advertising. Games live from the interactivity they provide. If you cut that out, you could just sell a youtube link for five bucks with the same experience.
Comment on DSP clears Wolverine's motorcycle section without player input

Eh, as long as Soulslikes remain popular and win awards, I’m fine with this.
I don’t mind a little challenge as long as I can learn the game and master a skill. I don’t like QTEs at all, and that includes dodge/parry mechanics. It’s like playing Guitar Hero on Expert with a controller, but you can’t see the notes. If you’re doing what the game wants but you’re a second or so off and that napes you lose, that’s a game I won’t complete… or shed a single tear if anyone pirates it or the studio closes. Games that punish gamers shouldn’t exist. If gamers want the challenge they can have it, but it should be optional and not required to complete the story. I’m fine with achievements being disabled for lowering the difficulty, just make the game accessible to differently abled gamers.

From what I have heard, the QTEs also self-complete without any user input. There’s easy and then there’s “not even playing the game.”

Exactly. I have no problem witg casual games, or games with an easy options. But if no player input is required, then it is not a game, just an expensive and long animated movie.
