apropos of nothing but I'm curious how era feels about the concept of senior discounts

there's nothing particularly noteworthy about the elderly that deserves more respect or honor than anyone else, in fact they deserve to be treated worse for having lived their lives primarily as racists and transphobes

boomers destroyed the economy, why do we want to give them discounts as a reward in their twilight years

Hmm the worst thing about all this Qanon and alt right bullshit is that it literally triggers absolute fucking psychopaths. And to be politically correct I mean people with severe mental health issues, paranoia etc. It absolutely preys on people like this who lack basic fucking cognitive functions.

if you really want to be "politically correct" or even just baseline inoffensive you should consider not calling them "absolute fucking psychopaths" before affecting concern

Looking through the topic, and nothing seems to have been done yet on reports as of yet that I've reported so far. Mind, I get mods are likely (enlarge) asleep given time zones, but I can't imagine since the issues cropped up immediately when the topic started yesterday and the mods haven't responded to this yet.

A lot of anger to lead to :

Because we are a tiny minority in a forum full of them. This thread is our stand, the same as what lead to the black community mod meeting and the Asian community mod meeting.Hopefully it takes us a lot shorter time to get our say.

Who the fuck are these people. From the thin skinned OP.

I don't think most makeup videos make the political stakes of beauty explicit like this.

I fully admit that I am ignorant about this though. I only know about the genre from academic research into unboxing videos about 5 years ago. Maybe they have evolved.

Gamers be crying about easy mode in gaming while wanting an easy mode, for themselves only, in real life.

Got'em !

[Nintex]

I wonder though, what kind of games can't they play?

Compared to a decade ago games usually offer a fuck ton of controller options.
If you are able to play games in general you should be able to play 90% of the games out there as most of them have easy modes.
If you're having trouble with certain parts pretty much any game has a walk through on YouTube.

I don't quite understand what they want?
Dark Souls where you kill everything in one hit? There's probably a mod for that on PC.

I want to talk about this but if you don't know what I mean and don't agree by default I'm not explaining it to you and I assume you are against it anyway
They don't seem to understand that part of having a conversation is learning from others and discovering different viewpoints.
They basically want everyone to think the same and agree with them, which would be boring as fuck but is basically where all these bubbles are at right now.

The OP has absolutely nothing to do with disability and yet they demand bans galore

So you're playing the game, it's challenging enough, you die a bit, you make some mistakes and it's ok, that's how games are.
And then you get at the boss. You fight the boss, 3, 4, 5, 20, 30 times.
You get frustrated, you finally win after 40 tries.
Do you feel good about you? Well, I don't. I usually feel bad about how I wasted my time because the boss wasn't balanced enough to match the difficulty from the previous area. Difficulty spikes are bad design.
That's why easy/assist mode on the fly is so good, you can make the badly designed boss easy or manageable if you want to. And then you can go back to the original difficulty. So good.
"Git gud"? Git gud my ass. I have a lot going in my life to waste hours upon hours grinding because the developer threw in a badly designed boss in the middle of the game.

Mind, Breath of the Wild gave able-bodied people issues here, but I was crying because I couldn't make sense or understand, or coordinate the gyro/motion control puzzles.

This happened with my with Super Mario Galaxy, where the Spider boss requires a mixture of normal and motion controls, including using the point to grab onto things, and ebcause my brain freezes up on complex functions like this,

Oh, and by the way? I'm a fucking disabled gamer. I have slower reaction times, I cannot deal with certain actions and as a result, causes my brain to lock up and my hands to freeze up. This can even happen on games with regular controls. I struggle with directions in real life and in games, because I cannot perceive left/right, understand cardinal directions. I cannot tell spatial relations and struggle with depth perception.

I feel bad for the guy reading this, but I think the issues that he has are not remedied by an easy mode or assist mode.
Those things are already easy as is. An easy mode wouldn't help here, turning off the motion controls wouldn't help here.
He's not describing hard or difficult games, he's describing specific sections that he can't play because of his disability.

The only thing that could work is literally the 'Win!' button meme from back in the day. He presses WIN the boss automatically dies and the puzzle is automatically solved.
Or a game tailor made for people with disabilities.
What he asks is pretty much impossible as it would make the game a baby toy for anyone else playing and developers would be locked out of adding in features that require you to press two buttons at the same time or think for 2 seconds.

Anyhow on ResetEra you can now no longer have a discussion about difficulty in games because EXCUSE ME ACCESSIBILITY = DIFFICULTY AND I WILL NOT BE SILENT

It all depends how much you want to compromise your experience.
Last of Us 2 has a "skip puzzle" feature, in the accessibility menu, so it's not impossible, and i had a broken WiiU pad and basically had to skip all puzzles involving gyro in BotW (never finished it, though).
It's not something you can ask of every game though, it's just up to the developer and then different people will have different issues with different sections, so it's also not that simple.

i don't get it... easy modes are in direct conflict with certain genres (roguelikes for example). like, I've never beat downwell cuz a) i'm a noob and b) i don't have the time to get gud, so I just watched the ending on youtube. was pretty cool and the gameplay is fun so I got my $4 worth.

i legitimately struggle to feel anything about needing 'easy modes' in games at all. especially using an issue like disability as cudgel for forcing the conversation... half the posters bringing this up aren't even explaining what exactly the issue is so i'm just left to guess it's anxiety or something? seems wack to me but then again i'm only hearing of this via restera and nobody there can articulate ideas beyond overly long diatribes or empty twitter takes.

"So now they make these games and they make them in all these dimensions *waves hands around* I call it 3D no one has ever heard of that 3D.
Before it was easy. Michael Jackson came over to play with little Eric, Ivanka and of course Don Jr. and he played a little Sonic,
it was fun it had only a few buttons I could run over the Hill it was fair. I love Japan but frankly we love the USA just a little bit better"

*confused cheers*

"But now they have these big open worlds folks... big open worlds. Like they're big and they're open and they are all in 3D.
Far too open, enemies can pour in from everywhere, you don't pay attention they move left, they come across, unbelievable and now China is making half of them and Japan has sort of given up I guess.
It has all gone to hell, it has all gone to hell and they're filing lawsuits against Apple on behalf of China but not when I'm still here. We will put a stop to it
So anyway we will come up with a great Healthcare plan that..."

I will say there are two $60 games I have dropped very early on because they were too hard. Sekiro and Nioh. Now every time i see them in my library or on sale in the shop I do feel like a giant loser and like I wasted $60. 

In all honesty, Sekiro was the nail in the coffin for my desire to play Fromsoft games. I think I’m over it.

The thing is, I don’t really know what I would do to sekiro to make it easier in a way that I would enjoy it. Fromsoft games in particular would be so dull without the difficulty. Fighting little groups of 2-3 easy enemies as I make my way though a sorta ugly game with a paper thin “story”  just doesn’t sound like much of an experience.

If that posters specific issues are with games that require a high degree of reflexive skill and spatial awareness, maybe he should play games that do not require those things.

That's the literal meaning of "disability" - not being able to do certain things.
And yes, it sucks that he has that and is prevented from doing things in real life that also cannot help but be carried through into virtual worlds, but the solution to that isn't to change everyone elses experiences, its to find experiences that do not require things that someone cannot do.

I don't have the reflexes of some adderall-popping teenager, so I'm not playing online twitch shooters. That's not ageism.
I don't get to demand every game is slowed down and has input latency added.

Bad game from top to bottom, i got it from gamefly. The second time i fell through the geometry i sent that shit back, same day

IGN was right, tbh.

Put it this way: Had this game not been designed by Clover Studio, released by Capcom and hyped (to some degree) because of this, it would be quickly passed over and shunned by most who play it.

If Clover/Capcom hadn't made the game, it wouldn't be the same game.  What kind of dumb logic is that?

Listen, Mendinso.

This thread's OP is based around discussing difficulty as a means of circumventing poor game design, you do not get to turn it into a battlefield on accessibility for disabled gamers. The thread already has a clear context on which it has been built and you are co-opting it for a completely different discussion.

You know I am disabled as well. Accessibility and the right to have it means the world to both us us, it is our right to exist in this dimension. But THIS is not the thread to fight over it.

You can't quote someone who was responding to the OP and interject the context of the disabled.

Now let me say this of the entire community. Would it be great if people had the empathy to consider US, before they started typing shit about how games should be left up to creators and how every game shouldn't be playable or beatable by everyone? Of course. But they are probably aren't' picturing people who are disabled when they say those things, they are talking about people who suck at games.

Can discussion of games on this message board be moderated as akin to a theatre only having a flight of stairs as entrance? Can it be policy that not considering the disabled before discussing difficulty is subject to action? Please, tell me your thoughts on this.

You know what. You can go fuck yourself. Ban me.

Show this post to someone and make them guess where you found this shit. I suspect the answer won't be a videogame forum thread about someone being shitty at videogames.

I wanna apologize that I can't really easily respond in the same articulate manner as you did with this post (plus, just tired and run down overall from this thread and other issues happening in my life), but I wanna thank you for this and I appreciate it.

I think sometimes, regarding people hitting a road black, that sometimes those options are helpful to even able-bodied users. Not they inherently skip it (though really, I think it's ultimately up to the user in that regard, in my personal opinion, since you should play it how you want to), but to help deal with an overwhelming difficult fight, whether due to poor mechanics or it's just a legit roadblock that can't be overcome by the player.

Either way, I appreciate you taking the time into researching the whole issue and I really do appreciate the response. I wish I could articulate my thoughts more on the other things you said, but I'll leave it at that.

Also, I wanna apologize how aggressive I've been coming off with these issues, given this might be the most hostile I've become thus far on the whole issue. Between recent world events and being hand-waved disabilities and mental health issues my entire life, it's something I really care about and I want people's voiced to be heard on the subject and I just am so tired of people talking down to me and others on it.

Mendinso,

Please don't take it that way. You and I are on the same side, you know this. I had your back 100% in the last thread where people were disrespecting our needs, I was mad and things had to be said, consequences be damned. This is a different situation though.

I respect the hell out of your fight for all disabled gamers. You give voice to things I care about deeply myself and in no way do I want to fight with you. But I want you to be able to best focus your passion and there are multiple facets to discussing difficulty. Someone saying, "I don't care if a game if super difficult", is not automatically an attack on US. Accessibility is not all about difficulty modes. We can play hard games when we're given enough customizability and control options, things that developers have shown they can offer when they are motivated. Games don't need Easy-Medium-Hard, they need Menus. Look at Tangledeep, this is what we should be fighting for:

(Image removed from quote.)

Not every difficulty mode thread and not every poster who likes hard games is against us. There are OPs who are just coming at difficulty from a different angle and do not want to exclude us. Just assuming that folks are the enemy and doing this in bad faith gets us nowhere. I don't understand how you read my last post and took nothing from it.

When I was in my car accident in November of 2003, I was in the hospital for 5 months. My hands were contracted and through all of the occupational therapy I knew gaming would never be the same for me. I had my brother bring a Dualshock controller to my room so I could "get it over with", as I knew the answer. I couldn't even get my hand around the controller myself without him doing it for me. Can anyone understand how damaging that was for me? I don't know.

After all of these years I have done all I can to make gaming easier for me and others like me, and now we have come to the point where developers, publishers, and even Microsoft and Sony are coming around to considering the disabled when they make games. I think that's progress.

We both want the same thing. Will you work with me on this?

(snipping just so it doesn't take up the whole thread)

For what it's worth, I'm willing to work with you and the mods on this, and I want more done to protect members here (and more options in games for that matter, since we NEED to have this discussion with the devs more-and-more), it's just I was so tired of being hand-waved, by multiple users in the thread, and it wasn't my intention to start stuff. And I definitely was so upset, because the post did absolutely come off like some people in my life who've handwaved me, including those who themselves are disabled (be it mental health, mental disabilities, and/or physicals). That's how I read it and I apologize if I completely, 100%, misconstrued it. But it was absolutely triggering for me (even if the intent was unintentional). Just wanted to make that clear, if that's okay.

It's to a breaking point I'm crying over it and I legit felt very called out by the post.

Honestly, a lot of these discussions, and even by the OP's admission the games difficulty options are accessibility, deal with accessibility with difficulty. Since skill set is different between person, and at it's roots, those options were a form of accessibility (including games giving continue and live and health modifiers back in the day) So when I saw your response, I was honestly both confused and upset.

And I understand Difficulty options is not the end-of-all to this discussion. But I DO agree with what you said games, in general, need options, and I think personally, as for other members too, difficulty is just one side of the coin for these options, as it represents a greater issue at hand.

That said, yes I'm willing to work with you on it. The only thing I ask, I may just need to take a break from these threads for a bit, but my DMs are open, and I'm willing to talk, but I just need time if that's okay? Plus, I need to kinda articulate the issues at hand a bit better, and that definitely takes me time.

Again, I'm sorry for coming across so hostile in the thread, and like I said both here and to the user, it's just mostly due to how users and people in my life over the years, have really attacked me over these issues. I am also sorry if I'm struggling to articulate what I want to say here, and I also keep editing this, because I don't want it to become ill-intended.

Okay great.

Definitely did not mean to hand-wave you man. Take all the time you need. I'll hit you up in DMs.

Squashing that beef


(But still banning people)

Why buy a game you clearly know you couldn’t handle?
Not everything has to be for everyone.

"Why include ramps on buildings? You shouldn't go in the building if you can't go up steps. Not everything has to be for everyone."

It would be backseat modding to call for a ban on this kind of bullshit, but I am soooo tired of it.

User Banned (permanent): Troll account

There’s a difference in not being able to play some specific games that are designed to be challenging and being able to walk up a staircase.
And oh no someone has an opinion i can’t stand pls ban :”((

Literally they are not different. Differently abled people, for one reason or another, might not be able to walk up a staircase to enter a stadium as it was originally designed. They also might not be able to play a game as it was originally designed, due to poor motor skills, colorblindness, age, experience, or just being, you know, bad at games.

You're being a gatekeeping dick, and for that, yeah, I'd support a ban. You're telling people to get away from your hobby instead of supporting those different from you to enjoy the same sorts of experiences.

Anyway, blocked.
