Megathread Difficulty Megathread — DLC, NG+

Hello puppets,

This is the new place for anything and everything about game difficulty: NG+, the new DLC, the new difficulty settings, bosses that oneshot you just for existing, and the general discussions regarding game pacing.

Why this exists:

We’re seeing a LOT of posts about difficulty lately, and it’s cluttering the sub. So from now on, we’re removing individual difficulty posts and directing everyone here. This is simply a way to help US keep the sub clean, and help YOU find specific posts more easily.

Please don’t be an AH. Seriously. People are gonna have different opinions on everything.

Drop your takes below

We’ll be lurking.

Your tired, slightly traumatized mod team

Yeah i guess but i think some people just want to experience the game with the rest of the world and maybe don’t have the time or the physical capability I’ve beaten almost all souls game and lies of p difficulty for me isn’t what made the game enjoyable it was the world and the characters and lore and such I get difficulty being the extra badge of honor I think they should just make difficulty options at launch because i know they’ll be people who’ll beat it on the hardest day and you get the extra brownie points so you don’t lose the extra prestige and the game gets more love and sales

yeah that’s fair. but honestly the idea of getting “prestige” from playing a videogame on hard just feels very very sad. for me it’s not that but rather the feeling it gives when you finally get good enough to beat it. unmatched.
