“It sucks because it’s too hard” is a legit opinion, but also a reason cheats exist so that the players can fill in for lousy devs not wanting to make their game more accessible.
Thing is Elden Ring was literally designed to be extremely hard.
Irrelevant. That’s what hard modes are for.
I mean sure the elitist and exclusionist g*mer rabble is extremely common in wild areas like youtube but i would expect better from the communists than to excuse even the mostly irrelevant and minor but still blatant examples of ageism and ableism.
I definitely agree with you but also think that while Elden Ring can be difficult to learn, it’s just like any other skill or hobby where you put a bit of time and effort and you can beat it no problem (a person’s goldfish beat some bosses). The game also has ways to make it easier by summoning other players or summoning NPCs to help you. Don’t get me wrong though, there should be more accessibility options to help people.

I’m a Dark Souls enjoyer and a communist struggling to decide if I agree.
I’m trash at these games, but that’s why I enjoy them. Is it all accessibility? Can some people just not enjoy that sort of thing?
Again, that’s why difficulty levels are for. Making it less accessible is choice aimed specifically at the worst g*mer crowd.

That’s anecdotal. Judging from even the g*mer places A LOT of people who would like to play have problem with the difficulty level.
The developers of the game have a clear vision of how they want their game to be difficulty-wise and I don’t think sticking to that is a problem, it’s their intended way of experiencing the game and making sure everyone, regardless of anything, are in the same playing field, difficulty options are not necessarily about accessibility, it depends entirely on the intention of the developers.
There’s a lot of other options you can have on your game for people with all sorts of needs and necessities, just look at recent Sony games for example, and From Software sucks on that front, they desperately need to put more accessibility options for those that need it.

If you’re talking about Elden Ring/Souls games specifically, I’m gonna be honest, this whole reputation of them being this “difficult, brutal, unrelenting, unforgiving” games is mostly wrong. It’s mostly just a different type of gameplay loop than other type of games. And yeah, it can be difficult depending on a lot of factors like the level of familiarity someone has with playing games, more specifically 3D games, or someone’s tolerances, preferences and mood. There are things in these games that are made to be difficult, like a specific area or boss, but it’s not nearly as close to what people make it seem to be, it’s just different from other types of games.
I think a good dev should be able to make an easy mode that is as challenging for less experienced players as the normal or hard mode is for more experienced players
I’m sure they are able to, but it’s not the type of game they want to do. Instead they prefer to give tools for players to make their experience easier or harder, like, in Elden Ring, you can summon spirits, play co-op and use other stuff like magic, craft consumable buffs and throwing items to make the game easier for you. Everyone is facing the same challenge, but the tools they choose to use will make it easier or harder to tackle any giving situation.
