Game Theory: Hard Mode is a LIE! (Sekiro Easy Mode Controversy)

Lately, gamers have been up in arms about whether or not all games should have an Easy Mode. Fans of games like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Dark Souls argue that the hard mode aspect of the game is part of the experience and doesn't need an easy mode. Others think games should be accessible to all gamers, no matter their skill level. Well Loyal Theorists, I'm here to tell you that Game Developers have been WAY ahead of you all for a while. You see, YOU are not actually choosing your difficulty setting - THEY ARE! That's right, all your games have been lying to you this whole time and I've got the proof!

I was playing The last of Us and was stuck in one of the rooms where you had to get past the clickers. After about 15 attempts that failed at the exact same spot, the game just started me beyond that point. This was the only time I can confirm that I experienced dynamic difficulty modification.

That's most likely a bug I've played than game more times than I actually wanted to (I had to entertain my brothers who didn't know how to play the game) all different difficulties and I found the game bugs out when you don't trigger specific events at the right times. Ive been able to outrun entire hordes of enemies coming in by simply moving faster than the game expects. It was a really effective strategy for conserving ammo when I was low. Cheap? Totally. Intended? Nah. It's on the same level of a speed runner hack. If the game doesn't do it again on your second play through after you've died a lot then you can be sure it was a glitch

I never noticed any of this in fromsoft’s games. In sekiro, every time I come back everyone’s the same, if the guy deals too much damage you get one shotted, it’s almost like the game doesn’t care if you die again and again it just wants you to actually learn. I’ve actually been stuck on Isshin the sword saint for about a week now and it doesn’t get any easier, I just start deflecting more hits, reacting to more unblockables, getting better pretty much.

In sekiro you have to learn every move of the boss you're facing in order to defeat them instead of the game just getting easier. Before I would do the same thing over and over until I win but after I played sekiro i changed my style. Most bosses I would die the first few attempts but after I learn their tactics it becomes easier, you just have to time your attacks and adjust your strategy.

The GRE (grad school version of the SAT) uses this; they call it computer-adaptive testing. Unlike the SAT, all GRE tests are done using computers, in testing centers, at least in the US and Canada. Your final score is scaled depending on the difficulty of the questions you answered. So you can't game your way to a better score.

Runics that can stagger her, as much health regen as possible, high vitality and defense stats for hyper armor on certain attacks, and shock arrows to give that extra bit of stagger makes her easy af. I don't even think she summons anything to direct your attention away from her, while staying rather passive compared to other bosses. Anyone who says otherwise most likely went full runic/strength build and hoped that they won't have to parry any of her attacks, when the amount of telegraphing she does makes it incredibly satisfying to deny every bit of damage she wants to deal.

As a designer myself, let me tell you. Systems like DDA have been included in most modern games without the player realizing it. It's both a playing field leveler, and a way to make players feel a form of accomplishment (even if it is what you might call artificial). I believe personally that most games really should have these kinds of systems, and they shouldn't be excluded without a damn good reason. I have made a game without this kind of system before, and it didn't really go well. Hell just testing the levels for playability made it a pain.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Fromsoft had their own ways of making their games easier, but I don’t notice it. Funnily enough, dying in their games is sometimes strategically helpful depending on what you’re doing. After all, an immortal Undead means you can keep trying over and over as your character never goes hollow. However, the reason of hollowing is when one gives up. In a sense, when the player themself gives up playing the game, they’ve essentially turned hollow.

That could've killed you." It makes it feel more personal, like a gift from the devs rather than cheating. And then you die 2 seconds later and have to restart the run.

I think it's up to the individual company to decide what kind of gaming experience they want. If they want something that everyone can manage that adjusts to the players skill level then more power to them. But companies like From Software are under no obligation to make a game that you can beat. If you can't beat a game as the company made it then that game is not made for you and you should play something else. I find the whole argument that all games should be inclusive to be absolutely ridiculous. We don't demand that horror movies have a PG setting and likewise we shouldn't demand that hard games have an easy mode that's obviously not what the creators were going for.

I remember playing Simpsons Hit & Run for the PS2 when I was younger. If you failed too many times at a mission, a promt would literally just appear and ask you if you wanted to skip the mission. It had mainly a child audience, so it made sense, but I guess it's not a very subtle method of going about it. I have however noticed it in a few games, and once had a theory like this that games may do it on the sly, but figured I was overthinking it. The most impressive dynamic thing I've seen on a game (not difficulty related), was on We Love Katamari (PS2). I was on a level, and suddenly the game just glitched. I can't quite remember what happened, however, the game realised it had glitched, then a prompt came up, apologising that the game had glitched and then respawned me. One of the coolest mechanics I've ever seen in a game, seeing as the game is able to recognise when something happened that wasn't meant to happen.

Actually, I've noticed that a lot to be honest. Especially in Doom 2016 where the first half of your health goes away really quick then all of a sudden you just start taking less damage. My opinion is that video games are first and foremost a form of entertainment. If a player is struggling with a certain part it starts to become frustrating and no longer fun. So there's a place for games that use dynamic difficulty adjustment and for games that don't since many gamers love the challenge. DDA would work well in story based games since they focus on story and DDA wouldn't work well in challenge based games like Dark Souls since it's all about the challenge and the story is secondary to the gameplay.

You're actually literally correct since in NG+ you get the option to return Kuro's charm which makes you take a bit of damage even while guarding, you only don't take damage if you perfect parry. I would call that normal difficulty and hard would be the Bell Demon on top of returning the charm since those 2 are the only things you can actively affect

...Unless if you train 7 hours a day in competitive multiplayer, then play campaign/single player and beast mode the hell outta those enemies. Problem solved, I guess?

I wish dda was more open, and you could adjust the amount of times you could fail to significantly change a round. It could also work in reverse, making the game harder for better players

You should've talked about whether or not dynamic difficulty is a feature in ds/sekiro. I personally don't believe that it is, although I don't know for sure.
@theleanbusinessman5431 3 роки тому
Dynamic difficulty is actually a good thing if implemented correctly
@adamforte9530 3 роки тому
The Lean BusinessMan I think it depends on the game, and what kind of experience the devs are going for.
@frankie3357 5 років тому
in sekiro you have difficult modes,you got hard mode and harder mode

Honestly I accidentally rung the demon bell and now don’t want to get rid of it because I ain’t a puss

The best way to get easy mode in Sekiro is to play on hardest mode (bell demon and no Kuro charm) then go back to the regular mode. Everything is easy and you feel like a god at the game
@gabem3251 5 років тому
Hard mode is demon bell. Really hard mode is only using defelcts to build up posture damage.
@RodeoSwappingBoogie 5 років тому
I used the bell but I don’t feel a difference?

I'm studying Game Design and I can confirm this is real for at least every AAA game. Maybe the Indie Games are out of this, but every popular game has this, if not the health is the enemy debuff, if it's not that it's another thing, etc. The fact is that you want players to play your game and feel strong while playing it, you want the game to be a good experience, not a frustrating one. I actually do not mind this, I mean, I play to feel an adventure, not to feel I'm the very best as no one ever was, and I actually tend to change the difficulty based on how good/bad I'm doing.

Wow, I actually noticed the assassins creed health bar not being 100% accurate but had always assumed it was a bug.

I mean, anyone who's played Mario Kart has known this for years. The only difference is that we had another name for it: "Rubberbanding".
@linktheslayer1572 5 років тому
I think they stopped implementing rubber banding starting after the Wii game. The Original reason for was because the older consoles could not render the entire track at once so they needed the a.i to be close to the player at all times.

*Rage flashbacks* Taking 1st place in the first 10 seconds of the race, keeping an up to 1/4 of the track lead ahead of 2nd place for the entire race, then a damn endless stream of blue and red shells out of freaking nowhere 50 ft from finish literally stopping me in my tracks until the other racers not only caught up to me but crossed the finish line until I can finally cross the line myself and get 8th place or further back.... 4 damn races in a row. *Deep breath* Breathe, just breathe, it can't hurt you anymore....
