@apropos @poastoak @zero I've noticed that Japanese to English translation using something like Google translate will often mess up he/she pronouns and swap them around. Don't know Japanese well enough to know why that is. I guess without context the translation may not know what's going on.

@coolboymew I can hear the sounds

@AngryWraith my mouth become hurt very fastly doing that

@xianc78 that sounds like an anti piracy method lol

@xianc78 the main focus of my game is also not the combat, it's the world. The difficulty only affects combat difficulty. I think it really depends on what your target audience is and what you want the players to focus on while playing your game. Ara Fell has an option to skip battles entirely because the focus is mostly on the world/story and the dev realized that people may not want to grind a lot to get to that, or they may want to just experience the story by itself. Dark Souls' combat is a core element, and it is meant to be experienced in a certain way, so they have no difficulty adjustment period.

@xianc78 I have difficulty settings in my game for 2 reasons.
1) you can level up forever so at some point the game might become too easy at standard difficulty
2) if balance is bad in a certain area and people don't want to grind for eternity, lowering the difficulty for a little bit to get through it is preferable to a player feeling frustrated and putting the game down

I'm just a solo dev so I can't account for that much. The more options I can provide the better.

@tomie @xianc78 I'll cheat or use glitches in single player if I'm beginning to not have fun but still want to beat the game. Gaming is something I do for fun at the end of the day. I duped items once I was 150 hours in to TotK and I used cheats for unlimited ammo in Sunset Overdrive for the horde sections. I put on God mode and infinite ammo a couple of times during Half Life also because I was borderline soft locked without it.

Cheats can be really good for removing annoyances and saving time when you are just trying to finish something and move on with your life.

@xianc78 what about increasing the difficulty if it becomes too easy

@Shlomo IT IS NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN SWEETS 😡

@white_male @Terry i mean, we definitely have the technology to strip and purify water of all of its impurities and even add minerals back into it afterward. as long as it is done well and is serviced well i don't see the harm in it. it sounds really weird and gross but it should be fine. better to have purified sewer water than NO WATER worst case.
