The best callouts that tweet gets are from those with disabilities that point out how ableist the tweet was. Also, Zachary Ryan manages to make video games journalism sound even less productive than one would of thought. Having things like writing 3000 words and doing a script on whether a game is good or not makes university papers sound better in comparison.

Also, small reminder that Father Gascoigne is the second boss in Bloodborne and not even approaching the hardest boss in that game.

Ironically, (debatably) the hardest boss in Bloodborne is an old disabled guy in a wheelchair - how's that for representation?

While that's true, it's important to note that Gascoigne is a "gatekeeping" boss in FromSoft's long standing tradition of having the beginning bosses introduce and test new mechanics to try to force players to understand how to interact with the game. Gascoigne, if memory serves, highlights the importance of parrying and aggressive dodging. Kinda similar to the Ogre in Sekiro or the Ashina head.

So it makes sense that they would give up on it, as they obviously aren't capable of understanding the games they try to talk about.

On the other side of the Sekiro spergery: someone makes a tweet that gets a bit too spergy over some PC Gamer journalist cheating the final boss of Sekiro.

On one hand, this tweet is spergy. On the other hand, I get what he means. Cheating a final boss can cheapen the experience, plus it's not like other reponse tweets can end up being better than this if you got something like this:

Just a game and yet the chocobo wishes the game could inspire and inform around Japanese history. If this tells me anything, some people should calm down a bit in their Twitter spergings while others that play a game should at least learn a bit more on how to play.

Oh no I had no idea this was a thing. I made the mistake of trying Dark Souls when it came out many years ago. I am bad at games....not the "casual" kind of bad but the full blown "my mom was able to beat me at nintendo when I was a kid" kind of bad. I also really like exploring atmospheric environments. So, I get hooked on these types of games and then can't progress. I think the farthest I got was killing the passive aggressive dude at the bonfire in that circular area right after the green fat guy dies and the crow takes you to Valhalla or something. Definitely not picking up Seikiro.

Probably has something to do with the fact that the article is less “I cheated to win and don’t care” and more “the game was so hard I was FORCED to cheat and it’s terrible that a game is so unforgiving and unapproachable that I’d have to do something like that just to beat it.”

Makes the "I'm fine" thing be seen in a different light. At this point, Sekiro may as well be the one thing a game journalist can't beat without whining about it being too hard while some disabled gamers can get through it despite the ones still sperging for an easy mode keep using them as a shield.

I think Souls 3 was the first one to pull the old "Surprise! There's 2 phases!" Trick with boss fights. DS 3 even had a 3 phaser with the first DLC.

But now it's gotten a little obnoxious.

Correction: I completely forgot about Ornstein and Smough. You may all slap me and call me Captain Idiot now.

I agree wholeheartedly. To use an example from a game that’s been taking up far more of my time than Sekiro, if you beat bloody palace in Devil May Cry 5 with super costumes, you haven’t really beat it. Everyone has infinite meter, Dante can use Sin DT with impunity, V’s pets become immortal due to infinite DT and you can also put them on autopilot indefinately, and Nero’s sword gets infinitely buffed. Sure you might have seen the end, but you got there in a way that left you with little to no understanding of how the game really works. How am I supposed to take your opinion seriously on these matters if you’re just going to cheese it and claim you know what you’re talking about?

How did this guy cheat? Does anyone know? Did he use a program or found an ultra cheesy method? Cheesier than using the Firecracker.

And inb4 others keep spamming its just a game. That would work if one was sperging hard over this but honestly, if one simply cheeses a fight, I'd take them more seriously if the cheesing wasn't full on abusing glitches or using cheat engine and they simply still had to pay attention to dodging shit.

I don't know if he states explicitly, but if he has it on PC it's pretty easy to cheat using CheatEngine (it's like GameGenie for PC games).

He could just lock his health to 100%.

None of the hipster faggots have asked themselves this, nor answered it, but what’s wrong with someone designing a very challenging game and not wanting to put in easy modes? If some dev wants to make a shit hard game, then so be it. Don’t buy it if you’re a pussy who can’t play hard games.

I think that’s the biggest issue with Sekiro cryers, they want to be good at games but they can’t. It’s not about accessibility it’s about wanting to complete the game with the big boys while they’re still in pull-ups.

They don't even have to be good, just persistent and appreciative of a challenge. I've seen people who are pretty bad at games finish this and the Souls games, nothing about Sekiro approaches the limits of human reaction time or pattern recognition. The game won't delete itself if it takes you a long time to finish, just take your time and consult some guides. There is nothing "othering" about a challenge.

Maybe part of the issue is that these reviewers actually are under a time crunch to beat the game and spit out content, unlike their audience. But the game is not responsible for that, and it's just another testament to game reviewers being disconnected from the public.
