Should games have easy modes?!?

>Go practice lifting some weights or learning to carve wood or plant a garden.
why when that'll become useless when you're dead, you could try and become a politician or great civil leader and be remembered but even that will be forgotten eventually or someone in 50 years will find out you went on Zig Forums and society will decide you were a monster. the only thing left to really do is kill yourself and get to the end quicker.

>Should they?
No
>Can they?
Sure but too easy misses the point of it being a game, and those overly easy modes are likely to cause a bad trend of games getting dumber and easier even outside of those modes since people love the path of least resistance.

The easy mode is called Ghost of Tsushima.

A game is a game. You practice playing, you get better at it, you win. Why should it suddenly be that because a game is on your TV it should be easy and wins should be handed to you? Do you think people should let you win every time when you play poker, too? That's not physically demanding, so surely it should be guaranteed wins right?

You're not winning if you're playing against a computer designed to be beaten.

Poker is another social activity.

since this is an offtopic eceleb thread, have you guys also been getting a bunch of yandere dev related videos recommended on youtube? i swear at least half of the videos on my front page are a shitty channel milking him, im fucking tired of that picture

I think having easy modes themselves is fine, but implementing such a thing should be entirely elective on the Dev's part, and not every game necessarily needs it. Ain't nothing wrong with a dev wanting players to meet their game head on, and ain't nothing wrong with every game not being made for everyone.
There is something to be said about accessibility for folks with disabilities, but to me that would mostly boil down to games just having good controller support and letting you rebind and configure things for specialized controllers.

Doesn't matter if they do or don't. There should be no unified orthodoxy to video games.

Did you watch a video about him or something? Or google him at some point recently? Maybe you've been watching videos about other lolcows?

i watched one video about him a long time ago, i think google is recommending me this because i browse Zig Forums

in my ideal world all streamers would be drowned, but even so it's embarrassing to hold sports as somehow morally above video games
the only advantage of physical sports is health benefits (which are easily replaced by myriad activities); playing baseball or soccer is otherwise functionally equivalent to playing fortnite
acts as a social facilitator for children, recreation for adults, and career path for the autistic few that devote their lives to it
i'd even argue that the ability to play vidya over a distance (as well as into old age/through any injuries that would preclude sports) make it a superior social/recreational tool for adults

again i want to reiterate that i don't even like video games and i prefer sports but you're spouting boomer memes like a chump

...

When you get revived, resurrectiin icons get crossed out, don't they?

There's no reason an artist should have to alter their works so that you can enjoy it. Might just not be for you.

>equating a social physical activity to autistically memorizing the attack patterns in a single player game
>autistically memorizing swings and pitches for a game
HURRRRR DURRRRRRRRRR

You have a limited number of hours in a day, so your recreational activity having health benefits is a major advantage you can't simply disregard.

The icons don't appear until you die the first time (post tutorial). The fact that they're even on screen shows he died at least once

Pretty sure he means red kanji death but yeah

Nah, some games are hard and if you can't beat it, you suck at the game. Everyone isn't good at everything

>playing baseball or soccer is otherwise functionally equivalent to playing fortnite
>i want to reiterate that i don't even like video games and i prefer sports

No one's buying it, fatty.

practice is fun and allows you to give your games more depth = a much higher ceiling for fun

>Do other things that require hand-eye coordination instead

Why

Because those things are real and they have health benefits and allow you to express yourself and will make you happy and interesting to others
Someone playing on easy mode doesn't take away from your ability to "practice" for hard mode.
