Pixels or Death's Mike Barrett argues that an easier difficulty for Dark Souls could only be a good thing despite the internet's outcries.
"I’m not saying that Dark Souls isn’t hard. It is, but only because all of your accumulated gaming skills up to that point mean nothing when you enter this world. You must learn to crawl again and make mistakes before you can really get on your feet again. The amazing sense of reward and accomplishment you get after taking down a boss or finding a new bonfire is really just the game patting you on the head for doing your homework like a good little student.
Thus, the difficulty is a byproduct, not the point of the world. Nothing except changing the fundamental mechanics of the game could change that, something that clearly won’t happen."

This feels like the epitome of a 'tepid take'. Dark Souls has always worn its gothic horror influences on its sleeve, it isn't exactly subtle.
Who would have thought that for all the complaining the PC master race do about console gamers dumbing down the medium, they're the culprits for one of the greatest and most difficult franchises of this generation being dumbed down via their whining and difficulty patches.
Tragic.
I don't think it's bad that they are adding an easy mode, yea the game is suppose to be challenging but so what if their is an easy mode, just play the hard mode if you want a challenge.
PC gamers actually complained about the difficulty of Dark Souls? LMFAO! Guess maybe more time should be spent on game skills and less on whining about graphical options.
Didnt the PC guys get the "Prepare to die" edition? They will have to change it to "prepare for a cake walk" edition... PC exclusive.
