Didn't know the "P" stood for "pussies"

 

[NeverYouMind]

Should make it more feasible to do unoptimized builds on lower difficulties. Definitely looking forward to it.

 

[Felessan]

Lies of P is more easy… by a fair margin.

Doubt it
In ER summon + rock sling (and later meteorite) is basically story mode. You don't need to bother with that souls gameplay at all

 

[Certinty]

I'll give this a go now.

I've never had the time or patience to play through these Souls-like games constantly dying.

Whole vibe and story of this always interested me though.

 

[OverHeat]

Im buying the game because of this !

 

[Roman Empire]

I welcome it if they give me a harder difficulty.

 

[Lokaum D+]

loved the game, but

be faithful to your design or gtfo, devs catering to players that won't even buy the DLC is just dumb.

That's the hidden Easy Mode of ER .

 

[Arachnid]

Disgusting. And to think I called it the best non-From Souls-like.

I'll never forsake you again, Nioh.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I'll give this a go now.

No you won't! Gaiff just bet everything adding difficulty options won't make it reach a bigger audience!

 

[Bartski]

By the latter half of the game you get weapon builds that are so OP the game really needs them nerfed if anything

 

[LordOcidax]

No you won't! Gaiff just bet everything adding difficulty options won't make it reach a bigger audience!

Good luck with the core audience that supported the first game FF De Ja Vu .

Their original design went nowhere.

 

[_Ex_]

"wider audience of players" "different types of players" "broadens the base"

Spoiler

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

 

[Aion002]

At launch it was extremely hard, even unfair sometimes. Then they nerfed the difficulty and it became hard but fair.


Giving an option to lower the difficulty is great because more people can enjoy it, but they should also give a hard mode similar to the game at launch for those that enjoyed the challenge.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Good luck with the core audience that supported the first game

good luck? Nothing changes for them.

 

[FeralEcho]

Anyone enabling this option should have their main title screen permanently changed to "Lies of Pussies"

 

[Astray]

Will this difficulty thing require me to purchase the DLC?

My wife was looking to try the game out based on the trailer vibes, but she isn't really into difficult games.

 

[Lokaum D+]

Their original design went nowhere.

literally nowhere

Booooooooooooooooooo

You wrote "be faithful to your design or gtfo".

Their design is still there untouched in the "normal" difficult.

i miss understood, still a trash decision imo.

thats y Miyazaki is the goat, he ll not tarnish his design to cater to low level players, git gut or gtfo

 

[LordOcidax]

They are going to make a unbalanced piece of shit now.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Good choice.
masochist hard players can get their bragging rights at the launch while casual players can now enjoy the story/combat without being looked down on.
Also revives the sale of the game and interest of the poor journalists who couldn't complete it.

Edit - I guess key is release an extra mode once initial sales and hype has ended. Best of both worlds.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Game nerds projecting game skills to rl. I love it.

 

[rodrigolfp]

He did that already since Demons Souls with summons.

They are going to make a unbalanced piece of shit now.

Just don't touch the unbalanced piece of shit difficult. Do you see Doom Eternal in Ultra Nighmare players crying because the other difficulties in the game?

 

[GHG]

This is how the subgenre dies and goes out with a whimper.

 

[Lokaum D+]

Just don't touch the unbalanced piece of shit difficult.

still no easy mode, bosses ll hit the same and have the same HP and by you logic Lies of P dont need a easy mode since it has summons too.

 

[rodrigolfp]

still no easy mode

It's is an walk in the park mode.

 

[Lokaum D+]

It's is an walk in the park mode.

non handicap human " Lies of P its too hard we need a easy mode"

meanwhile

 

[LordOcidax]

This is how the subgenre dies and goes out with a whimper.

Exactly… A shame, i love the first one.

 

[rodrigolfp]

non handicap human " Lies of P its too hard"

meanwhile

Why is this pussy using lock-on easy mode? He can't git gud and aim for himself??

 

[R6Rider]

Kinda lame. All I want to know is what difficultly will be equivalent of how it was before for when I do another playthrough.

 

[NeverYouMind]

still no easy mode, bosses ll hit the same and have the same HP and by you logic Lies of P dont need a easy mode since it has summons too.

Are you familiar with Talisman of Beasts and Insanity Catalyst which can one shot almost every boss? How about the enchanted weapon pick-ups that can kill bosses without upgrades...

 

[Lokaum D+]

Why is this pussy using lock-on easy mode? He can't git gud and aim for himself??

nah, dont get triggered by the man beating Lies of P without easy mode while you cant, you ll have your time to shine and impress your friends when the DLC comes out, just wait a little bit.

 

[Fake]

Just remove the tag souls and we're good. Is not for anybody and thats OK.

 

[Lokaum D+]

Are you familiar with Talisman of Beasts and Insanity Catalyst which can one shot almost every boss? How about the enchanted weapon pick-ups that can kill bosses without upgrades...

still no difficult select, its that too hard to understand ? all these things to broke the game are IN GAME there is no need for "story mode" on souls games, i m speaking greek here ??

 

[rodrigolfp]

bosses ll hit the same and have the same HP and by you logic Lies of P dont need a easy mode since it has summons too.

Bosses having double the targets to hit is a gigantic difference for them doesn't matter if with the same HP and damage.

 

[LordOcidax]

still no difficult select, its that too hard to understand ? all these things to broke the game are IN GAME there is no need for "story mode" on souls games, i m speaking greek here ??

I have a better solution for this… No Trophies or Achievements for Normal an Easy mode .

 

[NeverYouMind]

still no difficult select, its that too hard to understand ? all these things to broke the game are IN GAME there is no need for "story mode" on souls games, i m speaking greek here ??

The point is there is not a cheese option for Lies of P unlike FromSoft souls games and they are filling that hole with an optional balancing preset.

 

[rodrigolfp]

nah, dont get triggered by the man beating Lies of P without easy mode while you cant, you ll have your time to shine and impress your friends when the DLC comes out, just wait a little bit.

I already finished it, smart ass and picking a difficult on a menu vs summoning the difficult in practice is the same thing.

 

[Lokaum D+]

Bosses having double the targets to hit is a gigantic difference for them doesn't matter if with the same HP and damage.

lies of P has summons to, so its irrelevant to have a difficult selection by your own logic.

"I already finished smart ass and picking a difficult on a menu vs summoning the difficult in practice is the same thing"

Once more you just prove that the game dosnt need difficult slider.

 

[rodrigolfp]

lies of P has summons to, so its irrelevant to have a difficult selection by your own logic.

More options is never bad.

 

[Lokaum D+]

yes, there is a lot of cheese options on LoP

 

[LordOcidax]

More options is never bad.

For this type Miyazaki said No.

 

[Lokaum D+]

More options is never bad.

 

[Super Lemon Drop]

The whole Git Gud thing is part of the magic of Souls like games… Having a difficult option ruins the whole porpoise of the genre.

Wrong, but you enjoy keeping those gates.
