It's not necessarily about making the game easier for the sake of it or cheating. More about how much time parents can spend gaming compared to years past. Less time overall, but still a desire to complete games. An easier story difficulty option partially addresses that.

Says YOU? You’re full of it man, and that’s a BS answer. I have played through almost every Souls and Resident Evil game and I still like easy modes for certain games. We adults who take care of our families and work full time and have many household responsibilities don’t care about “proving ourselves” to our gamer friends.
Sometimes we just want to see the game without investing all of our free time(what little we have) trying to “get good”.
Good for you for not having a life so you have the time and dedication to decide who real fans are.

I know I won’t beat this game like normal since I don’t have time to play but I support it with my money just like you. I’d also like a ‘story/dad” mode. You can even take the trophies away. who are you to say what we are or aren’t?

Haha some of you act like playing a difficult game is some rite of passage. Some of us just wanna have fun with a game with the little bit of free time we have. Multiple settings benefits everyone.

Dude. its a video game clam down, he can play on whatever difficulty he wants. Its a video game not a rite of passage. lmao
