Lately, a number of notorious difficult ARPGs have added difficulty options. Is that a good thing or does it ruin the experience?
As long as it is just an option, it is totally okay, but it's also OKAAAAY! To simply ignore that option.
Long as fromsoft never does it. This was only expected since the soulslike genre is so popular now.
Stuff like this really shows that people completely missed the point of that argument. The argument was never that souls likes shouldn't have a difficulty option. The argument was that if someone makes a game, particularly souls likes, that did not want to include difficulty options, that you should just respect that instead of demanding and berating the developers to add them.
I see the lack of difficulty settings as one of the key traits that defines a Soulslike. It’s not just about being challenging. It’s about how the game is built around that challenge, expecting you to learn through failure and grow by mastering its systems. Once you introduce difficulty options, you’re changing that foundation. You’re giving players a way around the intended experience, actually you are killing the whole idea of a "intended experience".
That doesn’t make the game worse, necessarily, but at that point, it’s just not a Soulslike anymore. It's a action RPG.
The Soulslike genre is a lot more than just 'hard' games. There is so much more to it than that.
In most cases, for a genre to be successful, there must be multiple entries in that genre from different franchises, some easier and some more difficult. The Soulslike genre has grown impressively well so far with most of the games being on the difficult end of the scale.
The other aspect to consider is WHAT makes Soulslike games hard. In the best examples, it isn't just because the bosses and enemies are engineered to be difficult, but because the entire gameplay (from the hard-to-master combat, to the labyrinthine levels, to the additional punishment for dying) is geared towards creating a world that seems to be trying to prevent you from making progress. Beating a boss isn't the only thing that makes you feel as though you've progressed in a Soulslike - finding a shortcut, a particular item, or learning how to defeat a particular enemy type are all forms of progression.
An 'easier' game can still exist with all those elements.
IGN: Microsoft has announced a collaboration with AMD for the next Xbox console - which sounds a lot like a gaming PC.
I think what most are struggling with is the concept of a console that is NOT a closed platform.
An open one. You're used to being locked in.
Exactly. If I can run Steam, Epic, and GOG, as well, it will be interesting to see and consider getting one. My first branded Xbox since 360.
Saying, “working closely with the Windows team to make Windows the number one gaming platform.” is not the same as saying the console is going to play PC games.
If they are telling you they are making a console and all this other stuff, why not just say the console is going to support PC? Why play coy about it?
To me it seems like more of a reply to the fact that they have a Rog Ally that they are trying to sell but has terrible performance because of Windows 11 and they are simply trying to convince people to buy it.
In an embarrassment for Microsoft, SteamOS seems to destroy Windows 11 on gaming performance and battery life, as well as usability

Every generation people say Xbox is going to play PC games then it doe
This is what I thought as well. They haven't made it entirely clear if this is going to be PC like console.
If it is, how are they going to pull it off? Will they still charge for online? What about censorship? Last time I checked Microsoft doesn't even like having curvy women in thier games, so what are they going to do about the adult content on steam?
This thing isn't going to be a true Xbox, and its also rumored to cost more than $1000.
As opposed to "open platform", it´s gonna be *more open* instead. That´s the main difference that some people still don´t realized.
The Xbox Next will continue and be your conventional home console. However it that will bring a revolutionary innovation to console market by bridge the gap and blur the line between console and PC gaming.
Literally the best of both worlds!
Square Enix has been expanding its multiplatform releases, including Final Fantasy XVI. A port for the Nintendo Switch 2 may be on the menu.
Nice, helpful blog for those who haven't tried the things you listed yet. Nice one, mate.
lol
i challenge you to find someone with a PS3, but no PC...
if so, what are they doing buying a PS3- they should get their ass to PC world NOW!!
In addition to turning on all the features you should also fine-tune your tv's color settings. This helps ALOT during your gaming experience and enjoyment. I think I have all except the cross color filter ill try that one now. Thanks for the great Blog. You should write one similar to the xbox maintenance blog posted not long ago.
