every game should have an easy mode
I’m going to assume you just got yelled at by someone for constantly dying
oh no it just randomly came to me from seeing bad gamer takes. never play co-op without friends.
So you've literally never played a souls game co-op with randos?
No investigation, no right to speak
Despite how vocal the toxic parts of the souls fanbase can be, sunbros who engage in random co-op tend to have the exact opposite mentality
Never got hatemail for sucking in a souls game after over a decade of playing them online and I've played a lot of those on xbox too, so if anyone was gonna call me a slur for not helping them with a boss it was gonna be there but that never happened
I've had way more toxic interactions from so called teammates in far easier games
my friends are bad all the time and the people online talking about bad players are annoying.
oh yeah also i have experienced this in my distant memory. played co-op game event and toxic g*mers shitting on me for not being high enough level for an event that doesn't even have progression in it. i would not have cared as it was a lobby i believe i missed the description of, but unfortunately this was a common experience for other people who played that same event. also lots of tiny weird comments made about misplays when i try to learn various games. its extremely toxic shit and i don't know why people defend it.
i was referring to the "only play with friends" part when it comes to my recent life and what drove me to post this. i'm not posting this because i'm "salty" i'm posting this because I think people who take their frustration of a game out on worse players are doing a bad and toxic thing and shouldn't treat it like a good thing
also every game should have an easy mode
Why every game? Should every book be rewritten to be at a child's reading level?
Not every piece of media is for everyone and that is a good thing.
I do agree with 90% of what you said besides this point tho. I hate the competative "a lack of skill is rude" bs.
Gonna have to disagree with you there. Some games are fun BECAUSE of the difficulty. And if you get frustrated by those kinds of games, just don't play them.
