Elden Ring releases, people go straight to Margit: "This game is too difficult." Elden Ring DLC releases, people go straight to Dancing Lion: "This DLC is too difficult." I think people have permanent mental disability. It is an open world game for a reason. The new items tab should help people to see what they picked up. But it only proves people don't pay attention to items they collect. When I picked up the first Scadutree Fragment it was clear as day this makes the DLC easier. But I died more times to frame drops than to anything else.

[@TheFoox]

That's what I've been saying to people. When I started the DLC on my 150 character I immediately began exploring for scadu fragments and tried to maximize how many I could get before each boss fight. I didn't struggle with a single boss through the entire experience until I reached Radahn. People are playing it like a challenge run and then complaining the game is too hard. It's insane.

As a health researcher who majored in physiotherapy, I'd like to share a few things. There exists a medical term for what they are describing as 'temporary disability' which is 'impairment'. We are taught caution when using the term 'Disability'. People may get temporary injuries. People may catch the flu. In either case, they are impaired but not disabled.

[@STARSRav3n]

This is what everybody is missing. They ran with the disability bullshit but completely ignore the fact that there is a game design choice by not having a pause button. "Oh but it's single player!" So? The game is meant to keep the player stressed in fights and on their toes. It's designed to be that way. This is why I hope devs stop catering to western/modern audiences because they will gut a purposeful design choice, (a choice mind you that has helped lead to one of the best selling franchises on the market and created an entire genre of games) just because Alanah pierce and a bunch of other youtubers and fools think one dimensional and ignore the fact that it's part of what makes the game the way it is.

If you look at accesibility features for color blindness it becomes even more obvious that accesibility doesn't always mean the game becomes easier. The goal of a colorblind mode is to bridge the gap between the colorblind person and a normal player. That colodblind mode won't make the game easier for a person with normal vision. It's just there to make sure that the colorblind person has the same difficulty as people with normal vision. In action rpg:s you often have red warning signs projected on to the ground to tell the player where an attack is going to hit. The purpouse of the sign is to very clearly show players where not to stand. However if you are projecting a red warning signs on green grass, it can be incredibly hard for red/green colorblind people to see them if the brightness of the 2 colors is similar. So it would go against the design of the game if some people are not able to notice the thing the developer wants them to see as clearly as possible.

@@Kobaford because, with pause as a hotkey, you could pause on and off very very frequently to increase the amount of time you have to react to certain attacks that you usually need a bit of thinking to do I agree with you - but here is the GENUINE argument and the reason why DS1 had no pause menu. People would hit pause as soon as they saw an enemy or attack that was unfamiliar, give themselves 2-3 paused seconds to think, then unpause. I suppose this could rob some of the suspense. The other reason is to make online invasions more seamless.

referring to parenthood as a disability is inhuman.

Ultimately the problem with the game engine is that it was initially being built for the last gen consoles, and thus its using an upgraded version of the DS3 engine (from what i remember they said thats the engine they used) and so idk if they can actually fix the framerate problem without building a new engine from the ground up.

I think a pause hotkey would actually negatively affect the experience the game tries to provide. Two things are iconic for the Souls series: bonfires and the words 'YOU DIED'. The amount of times you'll see those words will teach you that everywhere and everything can take away your progress at any given time. Unlike most games, FS's games will have you nervous on the edge of your seat even in areas that seem safe. The only actual safe places in the games are the bonfires (mark of grace in ER). From the moment you leave a bonfire, you're in danger. You can instantly die if you're even the slightest bit distracted. Only when you find a new bonfire, you'll be given back your feeling of safety. Any time you're not resting at a bonfire, you're taking a risk. This feeling, combined with the notorious difficulty, forms the (imo) perfectly crafted atmosphere that's present in FS's flagship games. I think including a pause hotkey basically nullify this feeling by giving you a place of safety anywhere you are. And yeah, there's the workaround, but by making it complex you're at least still somewhat taking a risk, especially during boss fights. Once you step through those fog gates, you're locked until you either die or win. Side note, if you want to master FromSoft games, you'll have the learn and memorize patterns made by opponents. So being able to pause the game as fast as possible is kind of like overcoming another boss fight since you've familiarized yourself with the pattern. Pretty funny if you see it from that perspective.

The language is intentional. One of the primary ways the modern game industry tries to push to make games easier for the "mass market" is to wrap it around feel good language about how it's for "accessibility" and to help those with "disabilities". Surely you have noticed over the years the difficulty discourse often getting tied back to those with disabilities. So the phrase "situational disability" existing and being pushed by game devs is no accident. For the record, I agree that all games should have a pause. But the use of the word "disability" is no accident, nor was the general confusion and controversy around it.

I felt like the scadutree items to find was just so videogamey. As Muda said, I liked that *I* was totally responsible for the level of difficulty. I fight X and X kicks my ass, i leave and go elsewhere (or farm) come back and challenge X again and hopefully win. If I win I continue, if I don’t I try again or farm more. THAT’S the “easy button” in these game. It’s up to you to push it. In SotErdtree you have to collect fragments to achieve this and that’s what makes it feel like artificial difficulty. I have no idea how many there are or where to find them, or even how many I can collect before I HAVE to fight X to get to areas beyond and collect more. Why wasn’t the game just like all the other DLCs? Hard as always but if you went in super-over-leveled it was easier, or if you went in extremely low it is VERY challenging? Suddenly the game that tossed you into a world and said, “have fun” suddenly told you “well, regardless of your level you’ll need these ‘things’ and these other ‘things’ for your summon and you’ll most likely have to abandon your beloved build for X and Y bosses, oh and maybe Z, but you’ll get there eventually”. This just feels like they were trying to keep you playing because if people went in with their bloated build they could beat the DLC in 20 minutes. That had ALWAYS been an option, but why not this time? Also, the first burning wicker man drops something that also puts the game on easier mode if I understood it properly. I didn’t get it until REALLY late and I wasn’t about to learn it. Lastly, I want to say I still love this game and the DLC, even though the DLC asked more questions than providing answers. I found 18 fragments and 8 of the revered dealies and in all honesty, I didn’t have that hard a time with BOSSES, though some of the regular enemies were absolutely bonkers. (SPOILERS) It wasn’t until Radahn that I had to make a tank build (I am NOT that good at these games) to beat a boss and eventually I beat the DLC and became even MORE disappointed with the end of it all. Pretty unsensational. Still love the game as the story is such a little piece of what I love and I hope there are more.

I fundamentally disagree with Asmon's take that we as the viewer are at fault for misinterpreting the use of the word "disability" in this case.

For the native English speakers out there, think back across your entire life about every time you recall saying the word "disability." Have you ever meant it as anything other than referring to a physical or mental handicap and would you consider a minor or very temporary inconvenience as a physical or mental handicap?

"Situational disability" is just corpo PR speak for "inability". I'm not surprised it came from Microsoft sensitivity training manual.

[@artbyblondo]

Exactly right

[@kyletucker3811]

Uh, no it's actually a medical definition for any disability that isn't permanent. Broken arm, ear infection, etc.

[@ne0nmancer]

@@kyletucker3811 Which is exactly why people shouldn't say that having a kid and having to be a parent is a situational disability. It's reductive at best and offensive at worst, both to people who have actual situational disabilities and parents.

[@Arthera0]

its a perfect discriptor. nothing offensive about it. maybe dont let your emotions decide what words feel like.

[@ne0nmancer]

@@Arthera0 How is being a parent a situational disability, then? If my wife calls me over to do something while i play, is it a situational disability?

[@huasohvac]

As someone who has a toddler. Trying to play any video game while she is awake is difficult. Just wait until they are asleep like a normal person.

[@Zyxz]

This.

[@onedaynoreason2572]

Exactly what I do. No games until he's asleep then I have 3 hours undisturbed. PLENTY of time

[@standardissuegoblin]

It was an example. Y'all are so hellbent on getting a gotcha you completely miss the point. There are many situations that would require pausing. The point being made is there is a tedious pause method in the game, why not just make it a button.

[@Zyxz]

@@standardissuegoblin It's not the only game with this issue, kids aren't new, it was a design choice. Nobody cares about your minor, self-made inconveniences. Too cry about it so much we waste video time on it like this one. "Boo Hoo, can't pause duh gayme cuz I got prego, oh poor me, adulting too hard, plz nerf muh lyfe" :( lmao

[@standardissuegoblin]

@@Zyxz are you 12 or trolling cause i find it hard to believe some can be this clueless. No one's crying. Personally i don't care about the pause, i just leave it running. I'm pointing out that you missed the point, which you've done again lol

[@DarthMizaru]

I dont know how that menu pause would work during multiplayer. I always believed FromSoft games didn't have a pause button due to the multiplayer component.

[@Soulessblur]

Watch Illusory Wall's recent video on it you're curious about the ins and outs, but the menu simply doesn't pause if you enter it during multiplayer, that specific component is disabled somehow.

[@Lilpat60]

The souls community is full of weirdos that most long time normal souls players don't even want to be part of. I never created a single game in my life & I have no idea how to. I would not go into defending any content to a point that I start sounding or look like I have mental issues. It's not your content & even if it was, putting something out in public means people have the right to critique it.

[@erickghoul174]

I’m gonna use this “situational disability” excuse in court one day

[@karlsingh9076]

Oh I'm sure that you won't end up in the slammer! You honestly believe that you'll fool the court system towards accepting that excuse?

[@JeffSilverblum_]

"Sorry for driving off of the road and running over that mother and her child your honor, but you see I was actually texting and driving, which makes me situationally disabled. In accordance with the ADA regulations I can not be found guilty any of the charges brought against me"

[@karlsingh9076]

@@JeffSilverblum_ The judge will find this to be bullshit and you need to get arrested. Stop thinking that you all can use the disability maneuver and get away with everything

[@justanotherdave4835]

Lol that has already happened In 1980-81, two British women escaped murder convictions by arguing that their legal responsibility was diminished by premenstrual syndrome (PMS). their charges were dropped from murder to manslaughter.

[@An.Unsought.Thought]

Depends entirely on what you were doing and what the crime is. It would probably help bring your sentence down to a misdemeanor or something; provided the crime is clearly not premeditated and there is evidence that a situational disability has occurred.

[@painfall]

Pause literally doesn't change the difficulty, it's just a delay to your eventual death/success. It doesn't make the ass beating any easier, it just gives you breathing room.

[@BEYONDTHESPIDERFILMS]

One could argue that a pause menu will allow a player to check their emotions and thoughts. Maybe even have a plan of attack. Thus making the game easier. I personally don't think it would make that much of a difference, but this is the argument I've heard before.

[@robertterrell7057]

I don't think anyone should deny it makes the game easier... But by an amount so small it's insignificant.

[@TheDestroya88]

I would say that “breathing room” does make it easier. If a enemy blindsides you and you can’t pause the moment of panic/surprise is very powerful and can be difficult to navigate.

[@gabriellundes7062]

You just contradicted yourself. If a game gives you more breathing room, it is indeed easier. It's obvious the game director wants to instill a sense of urgency in the player by not having a pause button, making you think twice about choices and keeping the player on edge. It's an artistic decision to implement certain emotions through their art.

[@JeffSilverblum_]

Pausing pausing gives you time to check a wiki/tutorial, time to think and come up with a plan, time to emotionally reset after a panic inducing moment. The game has a lot of natural downtime, you can literally just chill between enemies indefinitely for the most part. They omitted the pause button so you cant artificially interrupt combat situations, once you aggro it's an uninterrupted fight until you either win or die. personally I think adding a pause would not only make it significantly easier but drastically change the atmosphere of the game.

[@masteryofsavagery]

This is what terminally online looks like.....arguing that having a child is a disability lmao everything is a disability by that logic. Me having to take a leak in the middle of gameplay qualifies as a disability then...terrible take..

[@0hkie]

About the online invading thing, not entirley true. You can put a sign down that will increase the odds of an invasion sure, but anyone can be invaded at any point. Other than reworking invasions I dont see how they could add a true pause button. I suppose they could make it to where the game auto unpauses if you get invaded or only allow you to pause during boss fights.

[@zapper5018]

They actually just "nerfed" rolling sparks and the perfume bottle. They said it was a bug that made it hit multiple times or something so it's not broken anymore.
