Check the reply I put in the comments on the linked video you put below
Is she disabled?
Yeah I definitely disagree with what she's saying when it comes to difficulty mode. Only have to look at what happened to Ninja gaiden when they dumbed it down because people were saying it was too hard. They ended up ruining the game. Yes myself playing the game I got a lot of dog ninja cuz I wasn't very good at it but at least the gameplay was fun. But as soon as they change the gameplay and dumped it down for regular players it ruined the game and it was never the same.
The truth is is that I was never really a soul's game player It's not that I didn't like the difficulty it's just that you ended up being taken all the way to the beginning of the chapter which was real pain in the ass. This is why I liked Alvin ring cuz it left you pretty close to where you died so you didn't have to backtrack so much. And for the 30 years that I've been playing video games I actually have to say my most favorite game is Eldon ring I had more fun more enjoyment playing that game than any other. Yes it was a pain in the ass for some of the bosses especially the bone dragon Oh my gosh that was a pain in the ass in elden ring. I must have died 50 times trying to kill that boss.
Problem with the video at 15:06
"People don't have time to get better. People have kids."
Sounds like a skill issue with their pull out game
True Virgin comment
Also a mimic and summons can distract Mesmer during a diaper change so I don’t think they’ve even played base game, either.
Dude the game is like 90-100 hours. I know people with kids full time job got thousands of hours in destiny. Kids ain’t an excuse
@@DistinctionDino oh hey I'm people
Oh wow 💀💀
Kids are not a disability. They're a responsibility.
If you give birth to a kid who wants to be a game journalist, that is a disability and lifetime responsibility.
That’s true. But this is all over a pause button. The thing is the game already includes a pause button. It’s called a grace lol and they’re so abundantly available. Literally in your face every 50 steps you take lol they would know that if they just played the game
@@kickass2733You can actually pause the game by bringing up the tutorial pop-up
@kickass2733 dumb argument.
How could you view other human beings that way? She's disgusting.
As someone with 2 kids that plays all souls like games. The answer is you out the controller down and die go back when you fix the situation. If you care more about dying in a game then your child. You shouldn't have had a child.
Whaaaaa what do you know!! Someone actually has you, know a functional brain. Wish I could reward you bro. What's your steam account name, I'll give you steam points 😂
Man this is how everyone should play games to be honest. Ive been stuck on the final boss for 3 days now, but I made an oath not to use summons or shields because I want that feeling of overcoming a challange. Everyday for an hour I hop on and try my hand at the boss. I die, I learn, I come back. I die, I learn, I come back. Eventually, I learn enough to get the boss HP bar down just a little further. Yesterday I got it down to 1/8. The boss was 2 hit. And despite dying to this boss probably tens of times now, I never raged out or got angry. I simply put the controller down and came back later. And funnily enough, when I eventually *do* come back to try again, thats when I get my best attempts. People will sit there for days and bash their head against the wall, they would neglect everything else in their life and wonder why they cant win. The problem is that they simply take the game too seriously and need to fix their priorities.
As somebody with 4 it’s easy to know when they’re just screaming to scream or legit need help. No parent is gonna let something happen to their child over a game. Even when I’m playing Warzone with my friends I just find a hidey hole and hope for the best.
@Rondel56 I would mostly agree but I do have an ex friend who would for sure let his kid get hurt before he stopped his game. I guess that why he's and ex friend lol
Yep got it in one! Plus when they get older you can game with ya kids too!
Imagine if your parents told you that having you was a disability....bro...
Are they not supposed to?
You should watch her video instead of the clips from here and decide for yourself if that’s what she is really saying. That might be the case, but she’s explaining a term devs use in the industry. She is telling you what they use, not even her opinion on it. Going after her for it instead of the industry she is explaining is weird behavior that won’t change a damn thing
@@shadowedfang2098 just because she parrots what the industry says doesn't make her free from criticism. She's basically using corporate speak because she's a corpo herself.
@@noblegalifreyan4551 no she’s using a term that many video game developers of all sizes, from single-dev projects to triple-a, use because devs of all sizes want more people to purchase and play their games. If more people can play your game, more people will buy your game. That’s it. Not that complicated
@@shadowedfang2098 a game for everyone is made for no one.
Look, I SUCK at Souls games and therefore I just don't play them. I don't cry about it I just accept it's beyond my capabilities and move on. This type of coddling is what's wrong with this generation. They are used to their participation trophies...
I suck at them also. I still buy them and play them because I am delusional about my abilities each time a new one comes out.
By her argument, you could say that you have a purchasing disability.
Same as me,I don't buy them and I don't care to discuss about their difficulty,if someone has fun with them it's ok.
What bothers me is that too many developers followed the trend by doing bad clones instead of making actual good action RPGs.
This is a VERY sensible take.
I'm the same way
Top 10 ways to ruin a child:
1. Call them a disability...
Parenthood becoming a disability is probably the most first world problem that I heard.
It’s not even what she meant, you sound like you have a learning disability if you actually understand context 😂
Where was the pausing complaint when Returnal came out? These people are unbelievable.
Returnal wasn't as big of a game, why is this even surprising, homie?
You can still 'pause' the game, technically- as long as you can get to the map.
If not, oh well- you die, your runes are there. It's not like 'farming runes' isn't a thing in Mr. Mogh's little spot.
@@elijahherstal776 fun fact, if you have your map up and get hit, the game drops your map so you can fight. The map isn't a pause.
@@Watsabeholder it is if you hit 'help' when the map is up, goober.
there was xD loads of people were crying about it.
I find the game quite accessible. Anybody can log in and get their face stomped in equally....it's glorious.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not necessarily you have to beat mohg and radahn before you can access the dlc.
Sooo you get a dlc for a game out 2 years and think the access point of the dlc hard? In order to get to leynedell radahn is almost needed mohg is optional so for a dlc make that optional boss need to beat in order to play, and difficulty is based on the players ability .... Just get better lmao.
Lord Godfrey's hands are rated E for Everyone.
@@dusttodust915 Skill issue, because I suck at this game and beat both of those bosses.
Being dumb ain't a disability
True and these games are certainly made for fucking morons.
No skill needed, these games are for fucking morons.
It is in America
@@anon7596Can’t be a disability when it’s the norm
It literally is
Definitely is being slow is a disability
I mean, I am a normal, able-bodied man and I find Elden Ring impossibly difficult. But I find it utterly disgusting and scummy when people exploit the "disability" and "accessibility" labels in order to get their way. It is shameful. Good job highlighting this shit, Alex!
My gf has vision impairment and I think they should do highlight player and enemies, but these journalists are jokes bro
You getting the upgrades or using summons?
Elden Ring can be as hard as you want and even then almost every situation can be solved with basic kit of a player. So don't you worry, pay attention to results of your experiments and you will be just fine. Beat the DLC with my two-handed cold swords which carried me through the base game and only had major problems with the final boss, partially due to bad fps. But I took my shit together and smacked him. Even if 6 hours later. And still with pure melee char
The game is absolutely 0 skill and for morons. It's insane that people belive otherwise.
These games are no skill and for dumb fucks 😊
@@ChasodeyThe final boss is the only boss I had to use another player to help me with.
"I have a life, you know?"
"I have a full time job!"
"I have kids."
I wonder how these people manage to watch a TV series, or read a book. I've never heard people say "I can't read Lord of the Ring trilogy 'cuz I have a job/life/kid".
For me playing a Fromsoft/Soulsborne games is akin to reading a 2000 page book. I'm not gonna finish that book in less than 3 months; yet I'm not gonna rush through it or skip chapters just because I'm busy. I'll take my time and re-read a chapter if I feel like I didn't absorb it like I should have.
These type of excuses says a lot about how these group of people see/live their life. That's sad/disappointing.
Ya maybe they need to rethink their gaming hobby altogether if they're so unable to actually play for more than 5 minutes at a time before getting up
Gamers who grew up into adults I think are resentful of not being able to game like when they were kids so they lash out at people who have more time and use the tactics of the bullies of before to demean those who play more
These people will spend 1000s of hours watching trash tv they have time to game.

No, Alana. Not being able to have kids is a disability.
She never said having kids was a disability. She says that having kids can cause situational disabilities which is a term defined as "a temporary barrier that limits a person's mobility or ability due to a specific set of circumstances or their interaction with their environment". She's simply stating that if you are a parent and have a kid running around, a pause button would be very helpful and she's completely right. People are being stupid because they are fully believing videos such as this one that don't fully explain her video or what situational disability is.
And that has to do with .....?
@@animeforever1962”situational disability” is a nonsense woke game urinalist term and they know EXACTLY what they’re doing by framing it in that term. If you’ve got kids running around and need to watch them, don’t start playing a fucking video game. Play when you actually have the time and ability to focus. It’s not a wild fucking concept.
@@BasedHyperborean How the hell is it woke? It just describes situations that pretty much everyone goes through. She was literally stating a fact. Even if they play Elden Ring after their kids go to bed, boom, they start crying in the middle of a boss fight. Of course they are going to go check on the kid and having a pause button would help.
@@BasedHyperborean Hey, big "Man" (😆) in quotes.
AnimeForever asked you _How the hell is it woke?_ You haven;t answer it..
what happened? Are chu a big manly, man, man who fights the "snowflakes" on the left?
Being a mother is a disability lol
If I was her child I would stick a fork in an outlet as an adult after seeing this video. Being seen as so much of a burden to my family would kill my self-esteem.
It does give lesser time for sure
Kinda funny watching a man insist how stupid it is that women struggle with kids, classic
Last time a person talked like that it was a fat ,obese clown named Karl Marx and guess who he was and was responsible for creating?
I mean, it *is* a woman. They want to be praised for having kids, breastfeeding them, and not letting them die
Kind of sad that my dog did that with entire litters, and all she wanted was a hot dog.
Having a kid, a disability??? Wtf it’s spelled responsibility. It is not time to play a game if you are with your kid. Turn it off and play with them!!!!
"Elden ring doesnt explain mechanics"
Bro the fist menu to open in the dlc is the scadutree fragment explanation
Learned helplessness in action. Where you get people telling you "the computer doesn't work" while clicking away the error message that clearly explains step by step what they have to do. As soon as they see a popup with text they close it so they don't have to turn their brain on.
Elden Ring is the one Souls game where they can't use that excuse.
Have 3 kids, and I often put the controller down and walk away. That's how things work. I don't fuss about not being able to pause, and this isn't something only present in elden ring either. Completely ridiculous takes all over that vid. I am terrible at fighting games. I don't need easy modes, or for the game to he tailored to me, I just dont play the game. I don't want them ruined for the players who like them
I never tire of that GDC footage of DSP playing. They reference him as if he's a dog.
Journos need to git gud at their jobs
Activists
@@glenmcllosers
Git gud at writing articles? Skill issue.
Gaming journalism has been irrelevant for well over a decade, my Brother in Christ. Anyone with any skill, talent, or an IQ higher than room temperature got out of that dead profession long ago. So now they're scraping the bottom of the barrel.
I mean seriously when was the last time anything a game journalist said about a game had any actual value?
Blockbuster Video has more right to exist than gaming journalists.
She did not say the dlc is too hard, she talked about the people who think that it is.
She also said that having a kid is a SITUATIONAL disability to play games. Not that they are disabled.
People hear disability and think of a wheelchair.
Alanah is right.
This video completely misses the point...
The fragments aren't there for people having trouble with the DLC, they're there as your primary source of increasing your power similar to leveling using runes in the base game.
You don't need a walkthrough to find them, most of the fragments aren't even hidden, just explore the world, engage with the game beyond B-lining to dungeons to get through bosses.
The very first Scadutree fragment you get, there's a literal popup that explains what they are and what they do.
Her complaints just sound like someone who plays games with their brain turned off, trying to autopilot through it.
Those are the people who perceive the game's difficulty as a brick wall because the Souls games expect a certain mindset where you learn from mistakes instead of making excuses. I know that from my own first attempt at Dark Souls 1.
Yeah, I was rocking a level 350 character and I was getting flattened non-stop until I went on a 'runaround' to find as many of those fragments as I could.
If DSP can go out there and outclass you in a Souls Game. Then you need to go ahead and take a minute and give yourself some perspective on why you can’t beat a Souls Game.
"Dlc is hard, make it easy" meanwhile I'm playing ng+7 and enjoying the challenge
Cool. I beat it on NG+6. Final boss was tough but felt great when I won.
Does it get harder with each new game +? I really want to play again after ng+ if it's even more challenging
@@likeandsharedeeznutsbruh2845yes
@glenmcl ya final boss and the hippo rocked me for a bit. Nice job man
Ah yes two virgins
Elden Ring has an easy mode, you the player decide it
Mimic tear, summons(whether AI or a friend), magic. over-levelling because you can explore the open world and come back later
If you ignore all of that, you have chosen to make the game more challenging
Trust me the mimic doesn't make the dlc easy. Least not against the story bosses especially the final. The rest of game sure.
Yeah mimic isn't the secret cheat code people think it is
@@bjones243 nobody said cheat code, but easier mode
@@imo098765 not really. More often than not my mimic is just a slight distraction more than an actual help
@@imo098765 you havent played the dlc 😂
Responsibility and disability are not one in the same.
I'm the parent of a child with a literal disability yet I still managed to beat Elden Ring and its DLC. Believe it or not, you can play a video game and hold a sleeping child at the same time. Imagine what you can do once you lay that child down.
and imagine if that child wakes up screaming half way through a boss fight, wow you are suddenly "Situationally Disabled" in that Boss fight are you not? ie you're less able to fight the boss than someone without a screaming kid in their arms, (unless you just let your child scream until you beat the boss...great parenting)The clue is in the word "Situational"
In that case, you're situationally disabled if you've gotta take your dog out, answer your door, use the bathroom, or anything else for that matter.
@@elkins_guyYES FUCKING EXACTLY, NO ONES CALLING HAVING KIDS A DISABILITY
The child thing was an insanely stupid thing to say.
Allanah's takes are usually good. What was she thinking here? She's WAY off on this one & I don't play Souls games
She's a 2024 woman @@ChasingStarz-Ou812
@@ChasingStarz-Ou812she is not, she didn't give an opinion regarding kids, she stated an industry term that existed well before her
@@VGInterviews I do not know how you can even support her on this one - & I like her.
@@ChasingStarz-Ou812 because there is nothing to support, she didn't give an opinion, she just explained what a term means, people are just offended that they think their kids are being personally attacked, if instead of "situational disability" the term were called "high priority situation" or something like that, nobody would care
I think people need to stop focusing on the word "disability" as they commonly use it. Google the definition of *"SITUATIONAL* disability..."
Straight from Google - "A situational disability is a temporary limitation in a person's ability or mobility that occurs due to a specific, short-term situation. These disabilities can arise from the interaction between a person's condition and their environment or context. Situational disabilities are very common, and people often don't consider them to be disabilities because they can happen multiple times a day."
I'm sorry, but she's correct in how she used the term, whether we like it or not. You can argue you disagree with the point, but saying she's wrong or making up what a situational disability is is just incorrect.
Situational disability is an actual insult, because you have no idea what disability even is.
Hate to say this but if you use terminology that isn't common in the lexicon for a lot of people it's going to come across as an insult. So even if she was correct in using it and people misunderstand her the problem is that she is so out of touch with the culture that she's trying to talk to it comes across as if she is an outsider speaking with little to no cultural intelligence
@@noblegalifreyan4551 Yeah it's basically the same thing as Latinx, it's simply manipulative astroturfed corporate speak that no one would use colloquially unless they were paid to use it.
@@rozoro4215have you ever, idk, DISABLED Bluetooth on your phone, or DISABLED something that you can enable, just say you only hear wheelchair when you hear disability, you are the one who is thinking 1 way and not using that vast lexicon you claim to have.

I read her comments, went to the website to try to understand her point, and now I understand why I hated GoW:RagnaWalk. She can't make a point with evidence. It's just ramblings and bad faith in consumers. Great video, and thanks for calling her out.
You actually can pause the game in elden ring from the equipment menu i didn't even find that out till like a week ago and I can't believe she used having a child as a disability lol that sounds insane
Can't wait to tell my kid's I'm disabled because they exist 😂😂😂.
Accessibility isn't about making the gameplay easier, it's about making it easier to play the game
Exactly!! Difficulty =/= accessibility
Making gameplay easier does make it easier to play.
Yep Activists want to sound like they know what they are talking about, but they dont.
Why is it Fromsoftware’s problem!?? Maybe point the finger at people who actually matter? Like the companies that make gaming peripherals???? Wtf
The "funniest" thing is that Xbox was one of the first companies that made an official adaptive controller, but nobody brings it into discussions about accesibility... It's not about the game itself, but how can it be played.
It needs accessibility options but a lot of. People forget Accessibility isn't difficulty
Seriously though, would it blow her mind to know there is wheelchair basketball and it's literally as difficult or more difficult than real basketball?
@@PWNHUB definitely will but then again , what can you expect from someone who thinks having children is a disability, seriously people make some really weird arguments just to whine about difficulty settings in these games , these people should play something like contra they'll understand what difficulty is lmao
I agree, I suck at Elden Ring it is my first play through, I learned how to parry by watching a tutorial video I am getting better. My fighting can only be described as spastic sword waving and leaping but I am still killing scrub enemies and I am upgrading my character. I am just enjoying the sights and getting stronger and less desperate. I even learned how to guard counter a little. This isn’t a race it’s not meant to be.
@@zaphael7238 and with that , it makes you automatically better than people who whined about difficulty and gave up. keep at it. good luck
@@zaphael7238don’t give up- the first time I played Elden Ring (my first FromSoftware game), I was stuck on the first boss for about 5 hours, knew absolutely nothing…hell, it took me couple of youtube videos to realise I could upgrade my weapons hahahah. Now, I’ve beaten all of their games multiple times (except for DS2), and Elden Ring is contender for my personal favourite game (with Bloodborne)
Makes me think she is not a person that should be a mother. I mean, if you think your child is a temporary disability to you, for playing video games, maybe you aren't a person fit to be a parent.
Priorites.
She's talking just to talk
The first time I heard that my brain just broke in half. Really, having a kid is now counts as disability?
Like fritangaplays would say, if need to go in the bathroom to take a dump, does that count as disability?
You realise that the reason stories about disabled players and cerebral palsy beating the game blow up is *because* of how much of an achievement that is, right? It’s not saying “look anyone can do it!” - it’s a sign of overcoming adversity and making a huge achievement. I’m disabled and beat the soul games, but I’d sure appreciate some extra consideration if they implement stuff like a pause into the game.
As someone who only plays PvE I agree, it should have pause at least in offline mode. Especially in Elden Ring there are so many areas where you simply can't just stand around in peace, I sometimes have to run around for a minute or two just to be able to open the map.
Bro you can pause Elden Ring if you’re playing solo.

Some people are genuinely lazy when it comes to the souls franchies. If you put this much effort into getting better instead of complaining, it won't be this hard
To be fair, Alanah didn't argue the DLC was hard. But, yeah, that "having a 2 yeasr old child is a disability" is just... wow. However, I'm a 51 year old man with bad vision and a peripheral neuropathy that really hurt my fingers, thanked the developers when they added the option to hold the buttons instead of mashing it. I have Turbo button gamepads for games that don't support it. I just want they add the same thing for joysticks... I need those tall joysticks and ControlFreek's Galaxies to keep my right thumb straight... Yeah, I'm moaning like an old man. Which is exactly what I am.
She was specifically saying “situational disability” which doesn't mean the same as visually impaired, physically impaired , mental impaired type of disability. It refers to situations beyond your control that force attention to hence situational; it’s just technical terminology. Besides this wasn’t in lieu of a difficulty option but rather a pause option
Having a 2 year old kid IS a disability in the term she explained, it is something that existed well before her, all of you just act like she went and personally insulted your kids, get your heads out of your asses
@@kadebass6187Even if she wasn't trying to convey that having children is some form of disability she's just using corpo speak in a manner that comes across as alien and out of touch. The problem is that she and like many other of these content creators are corporate veterans. They're so far into the corpo culture but they come across out of touch.
@@noblegalifreyan4551 Absolutely. Speaking "Corpo" to an audience of "Nomads" and "Streetkids" can only lead to misunderstandings.
@@kadebass6187 Why do we need a pause button in a game like Elden Ring? Is it even a good idea to have a pause button in Elden Ring? The game has a PVP component; pause buttons are not ideal. You play offline only and want to pause gameplay? Two options:
1. Put down the controller. You loose nothing if you die. Elden Ring allows you to get the runes back. Or...
2. Exit the game. Elden Ring places you exactly where you exited, except for Bosses, when it places you outside the fog gate, allowing you to reset the fight if you want to.
Alana Pearce has one of the worst take in her video. Having kids as a disability is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It's a responsibility to have children and that's on the player, not the game. Souls games is and will always be hard from the start.
Being able to pause has literally no negative effect on gameplay to make it easier? How hard is it to ask for it, also, who tf care how easy someone makes a game for themselves, it's their experience. Also, please look at the multiple definitions for the word disabled, you'd be surprised it means more than people in wheelchairs
Unless Miazaki is the father, the fact that you have a child is not his problem. Your life choices are not the responsibility of a game developer. If the kid is such a terror that you can't find a couple hours to play without them potentially killing themselves, the game will still be there when they move out and you're retired.
Also, I'm pretty sure there's a video of a disabled person beating Malenia using exclusively voice controls. So if someone wants it bad enough, they can do it. They don't need a toggle, they need dedication. Stuff like font and colorblind modes are fine, but once you start having these things directly interact with gameplay, you've made a mistake.
The only reason journos constantly complain about Souls games is because they are popular and they want to get in on the hype without putting in any of the effort. These are the kinds of people who ask if the 5th game in the series is the perfect jumping-on point. They want to be a part of the conversation and flaunt gamer cred without doing the work. It's pathetic.
The only feature it should is the ability to play the game on a special controller for those who can’t physically hold the standard controller. Don’t make it easier for them. Just enable the ability to play it.
I think FromSoft should just troll and put a one tap everything mode at lvl 1. But you only get 1 rune per kill.
But disabled people can actually beat the game tho ... 😮 It's mostly non disabled people who are complaining about the difficulty. And BTW bad parenting doesn't count as a disability Alanah.
Allanah is basically introducing the slippery slope fallacy.
From this point forward the description of easy mode in other games should state “this mode was made with the disabled in mind”
More like this mode was made with Journos in mind.
Isn't Elden Ring the easiest out of all the souls games?
Yeah
They say that but I find it to be much harder than ds1 2 or 3 because the damage you take is so much more than those games I don't think anything can one shot you in ds1 to ds3
Yes and no. It's a bit of a unbalanced mess especially when boss rooms this time around aren't made around the bosses well enough. Discount ornstein and smough was not anything fun or thought provoking. Just cheese
@@HDGaminTutorials my counter to that is, there’s more to explore, there’s more bosses to fight, there’s way more abilities… you aren’t as limited as DS1 or DS3.
If you’re stuck on Ornstein and Smough, there’s very little you can do besides “git gud.” If you’re stuck on literally any boss in Elden Ring, there’s like 100 other bosses you can fight or areas to explore.
@@HDGaminTutorials If you're getting one shot you're not wearing enough armor.
Being a games journalist should be considered a 'situational disability' not having a kid
If it's not broken, don't fix it. Simple as that. The game is great because of the gameplay design.
She should get cancelled for that stupid statement.. wow
fromsoftware would not be where they are if they were to listen to them. imagine telling the best and most beloved studio in the world how to play the game
Working at a game company doesn't make you a gamer any more than sweeping the floors in an art gallery makes you an artist.
She is, at best, a casual gamer who makes videos for attention and not for a love of gaming. Not to mention she has shown herself to be a horrible parent incapable of prioritizing her own flesh and blood over the attention she garners from her "gaming content."
U want accessibility. Toggle run toggle shield bow. Button re mapping. Accessibility doesn’t mean easy mode. Journalist just want to breeze through to quickly get their job done but the problem is the game just wouldn’t be the same with an easy mode.
I have two kids I am 42 I beated the dlc with the kids jumping on me yeah it was not easy. I needed to boost my resistance up to 93% and I used prayerful strike to heal up but I did it. This is bullshit. I should get some disabled card for parking because of my kids 😂 if I will lose my arm I will use steam impute also summons and blasfemus blade.
They were asking for a pause option not a difficulty slider
The terminology around situational disability isn’t referring to disability in the context of personal mental or physical disability rather the nature of environmental demands and external situations that disables you from playing the game a situational disability
At this point, I believe you ACTUALLY use the words "ACTUAL" and "ACTUALLY" to troll us, king.
Love your content
Kids these days would never get their final forms in real games like R-type, ninja gaiden, or even SNES mortal Kombat 1
Don’t forget contra from NES. Die twice and back to the start menu they know nothing about that.
@@brandinicole1372 My man, no one only had two lives in Contra. Lol.
Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, B, A, Start.

@@Darkeus1 someone should have told my brother back in the day 😂
Kids these days are instead getting perfect scores in Neon White and DMC5. It doesn't matter when there will always be hardcore youth. Both those games have difficulty options btw
Facts!

"What am I, to you?" - Scadeau tree fragments.
I’m personally a fan of just having a literal “pause” button, akin to the Silent Hill PS2 games. It just freezes the game - you can’t access the menus, you can’t change settings, it’s literally just there to freeze the game at that moment in time. Means ppl can take care of something urgent if needed and pause their game, without it resulting in neutering the difficulty
Teacher? I could't do my homework because I have a disability. I had to feed my cat, and it was stressful!

Greek > Nordic any day of the week.
@@Delta169 I love the Nordic lore style and ambient , I just don’t like GOW.
As someone with multiple minor disabilities, saying having kids is a disability is a slap in the face,
I understand that she didn't come up with the term, but the term is wrong, and should be changed
It wasn't because I was bad that I lost.....it was because of my kid.......lmao worst take ever!
Elden Ring has generated some of the most unhinged and insane takes I've ever heard.
Yeah little trick shot...
Nap time is gaming time.... Works every time....
midnight game is a thing
I have 2 kids.. if I need to attend to them... I just leave my character... if it dies it dies... like... what kind of reasoning is that... it's not a disability... it's a responsibility
Me playing Remnant: I need to take a dump
Also me: OH NO!!! I CAN'T PAUSE THE GAME!!! THERE IS NO PAUSE BUTTON!!!
...guess I'm disabled for having an anus?
I’m not disabled and I haven’t even played Elden ring yet and yet she is apart of GOWR development I would be taking about disability if I were her.
Aka... "waaaaaah! This is too haaaard! Let us cheeeeat". Seriously, if you wan easy mode, play offline only and use mods...
Literally nobody is asking for an easy mode in this video.. where’s this strawman argument coming from?
how do they not get that not every game is for everyone????
She is a prime example of why there are so many video games today that hold your hand.
kids are not a disability. if you have a 2yr old kid then don't play any games until they are put to bed for the night. if they are running with a fork in their hand then you as a parent are doing something completely and fundamentally wrong. IF YOU HAVE KIDS DO NOT PLAY GAMES UNTIL THEY ARE ASLEEP! AND FUTHER MORE ITS JUST A F&*&g( GAME!! WHO THE F CARES IF YOU CANT PAUSE THE GAME OR DIE? YOU CAN JUST REPLAY IT!!
That has to be the lamest excuse I ever heard regarding a souls game difficulty debate.
Something that no one is talking about is that these souls-like are short games (elden ring is on the longer side but still not that long if you follow the main quests only) if there was no challenge to them, if you breeze through these games you will finish them in less than 10h and people will say that these games are a waste of money
I only play Elton ring after I have a chance to put my kids to bed for the day that's something that they should probably do spend time with your kids while they're awake
I've played dark souls with a baby in my lap on a pillow. If I need to take a break for them, bonfire or just put the controller down. It's not a big deal, dying is part of the game .
"You can't fix Stupid." - Ron White
Let those "game" journalists play games like Battletoads (NES and SNES) and also Super Gouls N Ghosts, they will run back to souls games in a heartbeat.
I beat all the souls games as my kids grew up. I was never handicapped by them. Did I have to put the controller down and get merc'd a few times to be a parent? Yes. Did I need a pause function to stop that? No. It's a fucking video game. It ain't that serious. You just pick yourself back up, dust yourself off when you have more time to get back to it, and just take the momentary loss of progress.
Confusing idiocy like a broken wrist or a kid with people who have actual disabilities, who truly need options to enjoy the media they want, is infuriating. Like Alex said, she prattles on forever and never gets to anything close to a point outside of a "screen of shame" sort of thing. The game is fine, but I 100% agree that it needs actual accessibility like font size control and color blind modes for those that need them. Hell my eyes are slowly getting worse so I'd appreciate a means to make the CC a bit more visible.
Awesome parent. But I don't think difficulty options would kill anyone. Look at DMC franchise
@@ॐIo The game already has difficulty settings in the sense of what you use and how you play. It doesn't need an option for it. None of them do. I am far from the best Souls player and I've beaten all but Dark Souls 2 and Sekiro. And DS2 was only because I really got bored in the game, not even a difficulty thing. If I can do it, anyone can, seriously.
@@pawkeshup I would say I'm a decent souls player, have played all of them have done naked runs in bloodborne only, but the barrier of entry is a bit much with these games for the masses, hard to recommend to everyone.
@@ॐIo And? How is that a bad thing? I wouldn't recommend several games I play to other people. Not because they are too hard, but because they serve a niche that I know interests me, and not them. That's just how it should be. Make games people enjoy, not pablum that can be smear across every gamer regardless of their personal preferences.
@@pawkeshup I know people who would enjoy the experience if not for the learning curve.
Thank god I thought I was the only one going crazy. She sounded like she was just coping airing out her frustrations on her platform.
I have to go to work....
I'M SITUATIONALLY DISABLED!
Alana,Pierce complained? Oh no
Literally the only people that watch her are simps. She was also right up there with Yong yea, shilling for cyberpunk at release despite knowing how bad it was
They're mad it's not a MOOVIE game
It's OK to be bad at games
i don't think she thought this video out at all! "face slap"
This is all her wanting to pause boss fights...like damn if Elden Ring isn't accessible what do the World of Warcraft fans who are disabled do in boss fights only play LFR?
Yeah, most guilds I've been a part of in MMOs were casual guilds, where during a raid someone has had to step away to take care of their kid, it really isn't that hard, as it's just a game (why you haff to be mad 😆). But I guess she just wanted something to complain about.
Yes WOW is unhealthy, your point
Wow pause is know as AFK or normally for me, damn kicked again 😅
I have a 5 year old & a 3 year old, they leave me alone most time when I’m playing Elden Ring. And while I don’t play during the day a lot unless I’m off work, my kids are well behaved enough to not go batshit crazy when I’m not actively supervising them. That’s what it comes down to, responsibility and accountability for you & your kids smh
I personally suck at Souls like games (trying to improve), but if anyone would offer me an easy mode I would consider that an insult and an embarrassment.
Yeah. The point of these games are that they are supposed to be difficult. And once you beat the game it feels satisfying. Adding an easy mode would ruin what the game's trying to do
My button mashing thumb (right thumb) was in massive pain for most of my play thru of Stellar Blade and made it downright uncomfortable at timea...... i didn't consider myself "disabled" like.... what....
This chick is so unhinged
Funny thing is, I don't actually see any disabled people saying how hard Souls games are. Not one.
I wonder if Alex is going to respond to Asmongold who pretty much called him an idiot for this take.
