Exactly. I seriously fail to see how the inclusion of an OPTIONAL easy mode somehow ruins the hard mode. It's the dumbest complaint I've heard since the incessant whining about the Mass Effect 3 ending(s). Seriously people, get over yourselves.Gergar12 said:If there is a easy mode, and you don't like the easy, then do the common sense thing, and press hard mode. No one is forcing you to do the easy mode, It's not other people's fault if you yourself have a temptation to press easy mode, and don't like that. Let others play it the way they want to, and you will do your thing. Some people played mass effect 3 for story, and some for gameplay, that is just how it goes.
Besides, if many of you are in it for the bragging rights, then consider how much more impressive your feat will be when you can tell everyone you beat Dark Souls 2 on hard mode. Especially if the average person ends up not even being able to beat easy mode.
Gamer 1 = "Man, I'm stuck at chapter whatever on easy mode. This game is so tough!"
Gamer 2 = "Oh yeah? Well I'm on new game+++ on uber-expert, look-at-the-size-of-my-penis hard mode."
Gamer 1 = "Cool! Mind telling me how to beat this boss then?"
Gamer 2 = "Pff. As if. Now get away from me you dirty 'casual'. You don't deserve to play Dark Souls. It wasn't meant for you."

Then there are the people that claim an easy mode would make people get the "wrong impression" of the game; that these people would then think poorly of Dark Souls.
My question is: Why the hell do you care?!
Why does the opinions of other gamers in regards to Dark Souls matter at all to you? What difference does it make if the average gamer ends up not liking Dark Souls 2? Most of them didn't like Dark Souls 1 and that didn't seem to affect you, so why suddenly the concern with 2?
Guh, this whole thing is tiresome.
