That's not the point. The recommended specs shouldnt be about getting the fully next gen experience. It's always been about what you can run the game well with.

Obviously nobody needs to be told that anything more powerful will run it even better.

My issue is that they misused the system. And I'm not mad but j can tell may others are by the responses and lack of understanding. Even i guy above me tried to explain to me that he has a gtx750 and...

Well the issue here is equal outcome. It's not enough that everyone has equal opportunity to play the game, learn and best it. They want the same outcome as those that learned to play or simply play better from experience but without putting any effort.

Like others said....not much effort is required. Not to mention all the cheeses and guides available to them online

Precisely. Game got famous because of its difficulty and bosses. If those weren't there it wouldn't have garnered as much attention.

People playing on easy would miss the whole experience.
The core of the game is the difficulty. Removing that removes it's reason for existance. Many use the story and lore excuse but most of it is hidden in text...you can just read it online...

It would be more efficient than playing a game that's so easy it becomes boring and trying to piece together the little pieces of lore in the item descriptions.

Imagine facing off this huge boss a...

That's funny cuz I'm not the one who made the game to difficult for you.
You're the one bringing some immature cool factor into this...you must be 12

Exactly. Just Platinumed Bloodborne and man was it satisfying to butcher that chalice dungeon boss....after my maybe 5th attempt.

Prior to that i had Platinumed demons souls on ps5 as well. Gorgeous and mazing game albeit a little short.

Thinking of replaying the other souls games now.

The only way easy mode would work in this game is if the devs gave you infinite life. That or the enemies barely do any damage .....even then you'd s...

Souls games are already easy. Easy mode is over leveling your character on your first playthrough.

If you can't even manage that and you don't like how hard it is then this isn't a game for you...and don't give the bullshit lore and world story excuse....you want that you can get it off the internet.

You basically want an easy time and are upset that the devs didn't cater to your needs.

Only in games do people expect...

Except there's no permadeath in dark souls.

C'mon man we don't want people rolling off cliffs to go into soul mode.

So this is like how superman takes of his glasses and combs his hair. He goes around beating people up, is on the news all the time but nobody is the wiser.

I guess in this game you can kill hundreds of people, be pretty much the only one that does it but just holster your weapon and nobody will notice your face.

If it's not impressive then there's no problem with the difficulty.

I'm impressed when I see pro players do insane stuff. Souls genre did what no other game has done before. It has separated gamers into 2 categories. Those that can do it and those that can't. The third category is those that can't but keep at it and then they can.

Those that stay in the can't category are really the only ones complaining about difficulty.

Yeah well I'd argue that difficulty is the heart and soul of the games. In their games story and universe is more passive then anything.

I guarantee you that without the innate difficulty which comes from the combat flow the game would not have become what it is today.

The difficulty made the game special. It made it stand out from other games.

Yes it does. And along with gamepass Xbox has positioned itself as much better value for your money....doesn't mean that Xbox will sell better but it does mean that is possible that Sony doesn't actually have much to show

I mean if i was still a kid I'd likely get the Xbox since about 70% of games i play in a year all miltiplat and gamepass would Hi e me the biggest value assuming those games would land on it. But even if not....being short on money gamepass wo...

I'm confused here. Are gaming journalist this daft?
Let me think here. Is the ability to switch between worlds at fast speed new? Nope. So why would they think that it's that feature that makes the game unplayable on previous consoles.

I Know full well that all future games are playable on previous consoles. You just have to take down polygon count, shadows, VFX, ray tracing, resolution,etc.

The game would have less stuff going on in the ...

I got a solution. Switch to retail only. Problem solved.

Wow. Yeah. That's exactly what I said.

But maybe you need to learn the difference within the PC market.
Minimum used to mean running everything on low settings and possibly barely running correctly. While recommended simply meant what you need for a good experience. In other words something powerful enough to run the game at 1080p and 30fps or higher.

Instead here we have a minimum that is slightly higher than what we know Xbox one is capable...

I personally dislike the character models but everything else is eye candy. Especially the robodinos.

Can you go straight to the dlc? I already Platinumed the base game but may consider the dlc if i can go straight to it

1606d ago 1 agree0 disagreeView comment

Going high in recommended specs occurs regularly.

No. Very rarely do any of games look like N64 on low settings. It's all about optimization. If Microsoft decided to skimp out on it for PC to force people to use higher end GPUs that's a different story.

The point is if Xbox one base can run the game then there is almost no setup that won't run it. And games on PC scale very well. Up until recently was still using a 970 which i bought quite a l...

It's evident that those are not actually the necessary specs to run the game unless they've already maxed out the Xbox series potential with this game.

1606d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

It has nothing to do with Microsoft. Specs have been wrong before for other games. This isn't the first time.

A base Xbox one cannot compete with a 970 for instance. No amount of squeezing will help it because you can also squeeze the 970.

Like i said. They grabbed their weakest console and more or less used it as the min specs required. And then grabbed their strongest and used it as the recommended.
