Burner accounts for gatekeeping in souls threads, we living in 2020 now baby.
If you pay for Cloud (PSN), you could've backed up the game to the cloud and then restore once you're out of spirit emblems. I did goofy things like this for Bloodborne & Sekiro cause I didnt feel it was fair I had to regrind items after getting spanked
edit: I'm assuming you dont burn money on PS+ so it wasnt an option
People actually look down on others for enjoying a single player game the way they want to enjoy it? Time is a precious commodity and some people would rather spend that time enjoying their hobby the way they want to enjoy it without getting annihilated for hours on end just to make it through a story line.
The real knee slapper is how people try to correlate a person making the game easier for themselves into how they are in life.
Never knew that my success that I've had so far in life is all because of how I play videogames. What a ridiculous sentiment to have.

I've enjoyed the From games I've played and finished,Dark Souls,Dark Souls III and Bloodborne......but I've not tried Sekiro yet because at the age of 46 I'm not sure I've got the skills or patience to get through it.....and that's fine,no FOMO here.
If I do try it out it will be on the game designers terms though,and if it's too hard then that's ok I'll just put it down and move on.
People can do whatever they want with their own games though.....some of the posts in this thread are fucking embarrassing to read.

Sure that stuff is an option. I don't like lowering difficulties, but there comes a point where it just isn't worth the aggravation, so it'd be nice to just have a simple option to lower the difficulty instead of having to find workarounds like save-scumming.
Sekiro 2: Shadows Die Again
on-the-fly combat arts would be sick
I posted this a while back. This might be useful for people who are interested in easy mode without making the game too easy.
The mod in the OP makes the game too easy, apparently.
Awesome, thanks for this, i'll use these to fine tune it to my liking.
I know, I was referring to the meme itself. I never understand what that gamer™ meant by "risk"
I'll definitely play with the Ultimate Sekiro Re-balance
At least fun would finally be allow.
I never heard this. PC port felt solid too me and Steam reviews is positive
I don't know where you heard that, but it was fine from day one. It runs at a locked 60 FPS on a 6 year-old i5 and a 1060.
"9 years at university, 3 phds, 2 masters, exemplary grades all around, welcome to the co.....what??? You beat a modded sekiro? Get out of here you filthy casual"
I run it at a rock solid 4k 60 on a two year old machine, i think from software ports have been pretty good since dark souls 2.
Pretty sure it didn't support anything higher than 60fps or have ultra wide support, amongst other minor annoyances.

i thought about loading my old save with the mod uninstalled but i think i'm probably just done with it. if anything it would push me back to bloodborne than anything else
nothing i encountered in my easy playthrough made me think that i would like to go back and see it at it's default difficulty
Still a good port! Curious what negatives you may have heard?
Why in gods name are people making alt-accounts for the express purpose of gatekeeping From games? Is this really what it has come to?
Nah they've been around for a bit, just decided to be asshats and give me a reason to check em out since I don't always catch them early.
Yeah From games never seem to support UW sadly. Gotta hex edit in UW aspect ratios. But this is the case for most JPN developed games in my experience. They only seem aware of 16:9 aspect ratio and nothing else. There's a few outliers like Yakuza, Valkyria Chronicles 4, etc but they are fewer in number.
The mod is good for everyone. FROM get to keep making their games with their vision on difficulty and don't need to waste resources spending a lot of time balancing multiple difficulties and potentially messing it up, and players on PC can make it easier with mods if they wish.
Obviously there's nothing wrong with that! Though perhaps I'd be reluctant to add much extra attack damage to the game. I think making the game more forgiving but still forcing yourself to play through its systems as intended would make the game easier while preserving much of the intended experience.
Increasing attack damage just lets you slog through a fight without thinking, or learning.
Another way that you might make it easier could be to just increase the number of times that you can revive yourself. I think that could be the most interesting, as you could keep failing, but each time you always get the intended experience. This would fit into the narrative and game mechanics too, as by self reviving you still spread dragon rot, so it's not without its consequence.
Do what you want to the game though, it doesn't affect me. I just think that it's good to be think about how all of these changes affect the player experience. Some changes are better than others and I think a mod that changes the game as broadly as the one listed in the OP, is perhaps not the best approach to altering the difficulty.

I used to read IGN forums back then and it was pretty hilarious seeing the shock and outrage when the news broke out that US version of DMC3 will be harder than JPN release lol.
I always loved this, though, didn't know people were actually bothered by it.
Excellent. I would say its the only way to properly play the game because not only does it have steady FPS, but the inherent lag that's present in console version is completely absent in PC version. People talk about "developer's vision" and "balance", but the bullshit you have to put up with in console versions because of variable framerate and input latency makes it way harder than PC version. I platinum'd it on PS4 then switched to PC version and by God, it was night and day with how consistently you could parry every single attack. It wasn't a fucking coin toss like on PS4.
I've never gotten more angry replies on any thread on the internet than when I criticized a FromSoft game's difficulty. It's bizarre. Certainly hasn't endeared me to playing more of their offerings, that's for sure.
Been there. Everyone makes FromSoft games out to be the next coming of gaming Jesus online and sometimes you just want to try it out and be part of the hype. After trying Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne multiple times, I've come to the realization that they're just not for me.
Thank you for making me aware of this mod OP. I started a new game today with this mod and enjoying it a lot more!
The best action game of all time. Still undefeated.
The OP just shot himself in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about From Software gamer cred (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in Nintendo games where you can become successful by playing on easy mode. If you lower the difficulty in From Software games, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the ResetERA forum, after hearing about this, is not going to want to participate in any ERA thread you create, nor will they support any of your future patreons. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but the OP has alienated an entire forum with this move.
OP, publicly apologize and replay Sekiro the way it's meant to be played or you can kiss your gamer cred goodbye.
I think people are confused. There are no more alt-accounts in here than there are in any other thread, and no one is saying the OP can't play in any manner they desire.
Edit: Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that people had an agenda; it's just that many posts seem completely misdirected.

I will forever link to this thread whenever someone claims the hardcore souls fanbase isn't toxic, this thread reads like a parody of toxic forum culture, it kinda makes me ashamed to be a from software fan.
Three (or is it four? I lost count) in a 20 page thread sounds like kind of a lot to me, they might not have told him he could not play a modded sekiro but boy do they like telling him he is a wuss/not playing it right/a cheater/not respecting creative vision(whatever the fuck that even is)/not having fun with the game (lol) /not playing sekiro (that made me laugh) some dipshit even went so far as to suggest OP was a coward and a quitter in real life, so yeah, not looking so hot right now souls fans, y'all need to lighten up.

On the first page alone, 2 people snarkily responded "You didn't play Sekiro then". Someone else posted "If you had to cheat to enjoy the game..."
They are either legitimately peeved and/or trolling.
The ironic thing is the OP knew exactly what he was getting into posting what he did, so who am I to judge.
Sure, but they aren't suggesting that the OP can't play it however they want. They just see the experience/challenge as very different from the original one.

i mean i wasn't doing it for this reason, just to talk about my experience with an easier sekiro
The people who scoff at others asking for an easy mode in a single player game remind me of those PC master race elitists.
The day From starts incorporating a "normal" difficulty mode is the day I'll start buying their games. Until then they are inaccessible to me. Just not enough time in the day to be frustrated and make very little progress.
If the game would lose all it's appeal with an optional easy mode, then it's NOT a good game.

They are not saying people are running alt-accounts here more. They are pointing out the ridiculousness of some people doing that for this particular matter.
Clearly you didn't read this entire thread.

but you said that the posts you quoted were made up when those things are happening
Losing needs to be a good thing, people don't like losing but it needs to be embraced in everything even outside games, look more forward to the loss than the win
Everytime I play smash I hope the next person can beat me

There are a bunch.
