Elden Ring Doesn’t Need an “Easy” Difficulty, Here’s Why!
Elden Ring Difficulty: Will there be an easy mode? No, and Souls games don't need one! In this video we want to discuss why adding difficulty modes to soul games is a terrible idea, and why I hope never to see difficulty options in future From Software Souls-like titles. https://fextralife.com/elden-ring-doe...

For example a lot of players would even argue that Dark Souls 3 was dangerously close to becoming too “accessible” simply because there were so few new mechanics to uncover and the challenging boss encounters were optional. This diminished the community feel of accomplishment that titles like Demon’s Souls and Bloodborne brought home so well. It is often assumed that accessibility generally increases sales, but sales is not always a good metric for quality. If more people buy a 7/10 game than a 9/10 game who really wins here? Is this not how you end up with cookie cutter games that come out seemingly every year from you-know-who studios? If you remove the challenge of souls games, aren’t you in essence just an interactive novel semi-passive spectator? What do you guys think? Did we get it right? Do From Software games need a difficulty option? Or am I insane for thinking they should never add one? Let us know in the comments below!
