My goal is just to have a community where people can go and see what new game news is out for the day and comment on it.
Other communities:
I think some people are just frustrated that the majority of the new cool weapons/ashes are locked behind difficult content. If you are too rusty to clear the initial difficulty wall, you'd be restricted to very little stuff after buying the $50 dlc.
That being said, a castle skip already exists so you can go collect the Smithscript series and Anvil Hammer - without killing a thing - as long as you explore hard enough!
The base game lures in newcomers by being the easiest one of the bunch; then the DLC kicks it up to Dark Souls 2+Ringed City difficulty and those newcomers are getting a taste of what the real game is and can't handle it lol
I got into these games because of their difficulty. When DS1 came out, the trend was that most games would hold you hand and just give you free victories so you get your dopamine fix. The base game got a little boring because most of the bosses are just regular mobs at the end of a cave with a boss health bar. I actually like getting to the end of a small side dungeon and having a challenging fight and not just a copy of the random little dudes I've been one shotting as I walk to the boss room.
It’s a lesson Capcom had to learn the hard way with RE6.
Was it too easy or something? I never played that one, stopped after 4, but I love learning video game history.
This is a great video and you should watch the whole thing for context but he goes into RE6 specifically at 14:20.

Thanks! Can't wait to watch this.
Let me know what ya think!
Ironic considering the rapidly dropping playerbase of Helldivers 2 due to Arrowheads questionable balancing changes lately.
