GameCube is still by far the best way to play Game Boy Advance on original hardware. Hacking it to play in 240p gives a wonderfully crisp image, and it's a lot easier now than it used to be, especially now that we have alternatives to needing the Game Boy Player disk.

I used my hacked Game Boy Player to play through Golden Sun 1 and 2 on my 20" Ikegami PVM and it was a glorious experience.

Lol, we all know just how effective gamer boycotts have been in the past.

For this comparison you'll want "than usual". "Als" > "as" can be tricky sometimes (assuming you're coming from German).

I just gave you an example. This is literally what happened with Monster Hunter Rise and Wilds (except the "thumbs" part, obviously).

Because it doesn't just end with an easy mode. It ends with Monster Hunter Rise and Wilds, and an entire series losing everything that made it unique all so it can keep chasing the lowest common denominator, who always start their erosion of a once-great series with "it's too hard. :( Why are the devs so mean to the twelve people born without thumbs?!? Also you should totally remove all of the hunting aspects from the game because it's super unfair to make me use my brain for more than half a second."

So I'd rather keep the dwindling number of games I enjoy as they are, and y'all can go play something else, thank you very much.

They already can enjoy them, just like you did. They can get good, like you apparently did, or they can play something else.

All of your comments in this thread just scream "mad because bad".

If a game doesn't have customizable difficulty, then git gud bruh.

Or don't, and go play modern Halo. But either way quit insisting that others dumb down their art to your level.

If non-serious people are the reason a game series I love gets worse, then they have affected me. It happened to Monster Hunter, and I don't want it to happen to FromSoft games too.

I've done DS1 no pyromancy all bosses SL1, and I'm almost finished with my first DeS SL1 run currently. Not really interested in doing the other games, but I might do some sort of similar challenge run for Sekiro

Yeah, the position of most FromSoft players in my experience is: "You don't have to like the games, but you can't just demand that they change for you."

Some people need to understand that not all games are for all people. I don't like RTS games, and so I don't play them! What I don't do is demand that they all add a turn-based option that would destroy game balance just because that's what I prefer to play.

Like, what an insanely entitled thing to demand. And for some reason it's only Soulslikes that have to deal with this craziness. There are thousands of other games out there for you to play, people.

You: "I don't like the characteristic elements of Souls games."

Them: "You may want to play a different game then."

You: "Stop telling me my taste!"
