    This is extra funny because Elden Ring’s diverse player build options means that it has the most adjustable difficulty curve of any FromSoftware game. Holding up Elden Ring completion specifically as any kind of bar to surpass is laughably naive.

        You must have misunderstood me. I’m saying Elden Ring SHOULD have an Easy Mode. Modern Souls games are designed to be accessible.

        People who gatekeep FromSoftware difficulty have a fundamental misunderstanding of what the games are about

          I think the point of the post is that one way or another, it’s a topic where everyone has an opinion and it can be exhausting to listen to the debate.

            I thought the point of the post was ridiculing fragile masculinity, but okay

      That’s the key. If you:

      • summoned
      • used spirit ashes
      • used ashes of war
      • used sorceries
      • used incantations
      • levelled up
      • drank a flask
      • opened the map
      • used a weapon
      • used a controller or a mouse/keyboard
      • opened the menu
      • used your hands

      You didn’t beat the game.

        I actually beat the game at level 1, no weapons, no items, controlling the character via brainwaves. And every time I died, I resetted the game.

          So you didn’t even turn on the setting that kills you in real life when you die in the game? Casual.

        Thank god I play with my butt cheeks. The different tones of my farts get interpreted as input. To attack I have to fart in G#.

          Oh please, that’s the easiest key to fart in. Casual.
