@phx256353774 @Nick_Marseil Elder Scrolls is a huge IP.

@Nick_Marseil Do they have console selling IP’s though? Gears and Halo aren’t that anymore. This isn’t 2007. When was the last time Xbox had an IP that actually generated buzz around the industry? The Avoweds, the South of Midnights, the Hi-Fi Rushes aren’t gonna cut it.

Xbox games aren't "subpar" anymore, y'all gotta let that shit go. That was true during the Recore, Battletoads, Redfall times. Today they got IPs, a lot of them, and must know if they want anybody to give a shit about Helix they gotta make them available only on Helix.

@OrigiGreatness @Nick_Marseil I mean they did take #5 publisher in 2026 over Sony and Nintendo (and had Publisher of the Year in 2021) on Metacritic.

@Nick_Marseil They're better but most of them still score in the 80s. They still lack that over 90 GOTY nominee types that really sell the console.

@TheRooster @PsychopathTakes It's still very scripted and on rails though.

@PsychopathTakes It's being rendered real-time.

This game is 15 years old. > No ray-tracing > No AI upscaling > No frame-gen > Takes only 20gb > Developed in just 3 yrs GTX 580 ran BF3 on Ultra with 1.5gb VRAM Now you drop $1200 on a GPU and can barely hold 60 FPS in modern games without DLSS Why did we go backwards?

@TheRooster This is also a highly scripted scene.

@ghudbob @Rarttic ""one difficulty you get infinite saves other you need an item" like RE9 does before you unlock insanity." I mean it looked like you were just coupling in "insanity" with the "the other you need an item". Honest mistake lol.

@N0VACIA @Rarttic so you just can't read. do you know what "before" means?

Hot take but games shouldn't have difficulty options.

@ghudbob @Rarttic Insanity isn't the only mode to offer ink ribbons for saves (standard/classic offers it too).

@N0VACIA @Rarttic It really isn't though. If you can't make multiple unique difficulties, just make one really well balanced "normal" mode. Or hell even a basic "one difficulty you get infinite saves other you need an item" like RE9 does before you unlock insanity.

@ghudbob @Rarttic "and if that isolates a group, they need to get good or play something else." And there it is again. 😂

@N0VACIA @Rarttic I want the GAME to be polished and not have 3 lazy difficulties (or more in DOOM or GOW's case) but instead one well made one. and if that isolates a group, they need to get good or play something else.

@ghudbob @Rarttic Because they can just lower health for enemies and the amount of damage you take rather than coding in new missions, balancing how much summons should attack for each enemy ect ect. One is simpler to do.

@N0VACIA @Rarttic I don't see how it'd take more work than making 3 difficulties already. Especially if it's a stats based RPG like GOW 2018/ragnarok

@ghudbob @Rarttic You said earlier people "need to get good or move on". It's just against AI bots, it's really not that serious for people having to get good at that lol. If you want to get good, go play some multiplayer games, is all I'm saying.

@N0VACIA @Rarttic Why are you acting like getting better at a game I like is some own lol.

@ghudbob @Rarttic I think it wastes more dev time by trying to balance everything into one mode (although I do agree IT IS cooler), rather than just adding simpler difficulty options, especially if they HAVE to push the game out.

@N0VACIA @Rarttic incorrect. My point was it's wasting dev time and makes multiple mediocre difficulties instead of 1 polished one. Then people struggling is a biproduct of them fixing this issue for me, in which case they should just get good. I'm not worried about them getting good.

@ghudbob @Rarttic Says the guy who "gets good" against AI bots.

@N0VACIA @Rarttic there is no want, you just are man.

@ghudbob @Rarttic And your only point of why they should due away with regular difficulty options was "they need to get good or move on". It's AI bots... Get good and play actual multiplayer games if that is your worry.

@N0VACIA @Rarttic no shit. We're going down a pointless loop because you have no point other than "well they won't do it". lmao.

@ghudbob @Rarttic

@N0VACIA @Rarttic you are retarded.

@ghudbob @Rarttic Then your reply was just as pointless as mine was. Afterall, you did reply to my opinion as well.

@N0VACIA @Rarttic No shit?????????? I don't expect them to bend to my will because I made a twitter post???????

@ghudbob @Rarttic I mean, you did reply to my opinion as well... lol

@N0VACIA @Rarttic If you have no point other than "well they're not gonna" then quit replying man, because I don't really care if they will or won't. It's my opinion. I never said "remove regular easy/normal modes" I'm saying remove ALLL modes, and make one singular well done mode.

@ghudbob @Rarttic And I said, it wasn't going anywhere, regardless of your opinion lol.

@N0VACIA @Rarttic No shit it's my opinion. You're arguing an opinion. This is a pointless reply.

@ghudbob @Rarttic I'm not trying to counter anything? I literally told you, I find those unique modes in those games appealing as well. But, I'm not the one sitting here suggesting they do away with regular easy/normal modes just because people "need to get good" against AI.

@N0VACIA @Rarttic and that's why I think a lot of games are turning to slop. They don't care about getting good, and games appeal to as wide of an audience as they can. You aren't actually countering any of my points lmao.

@ghudbob @Rarttic That is your opinion, but not what the devs are actually doing. They're there for a reason and they've been around for a while now.

@N0VACIA @Rarttic If you can't put in the work, don't do modes lol.

@ghudbob @Rarttic I think what RE/SH/PD/Goldeneye offer for their modes is unique and cool... but they're just that. Unique. Not many games do that because it takes time for them to do and a whole different level of balancing. Devs just want a larger group to play their games.

@N0VACIA @Rarttic I want them to either be like RE/SH or just don't bother with difficulties. Most casual players play normal, not even easy.
