Bro, youre not joking. I pumped like 10 hours in one day and realized i was like no more than 500 meters from where i started after beating the first boss guy. Lol.

If they did make optional difficulties i'd stick with what it is now. I thought it was what made the game. Decisions were costly. Id hate for it to be a hack and slash.

This.

If you're dying all over the place and getting owned in this game, you're approaching the situation wrong.

And nothing beats that moment when you finally beat that boss that's facerolled you multiple times.

Agreed. I have both Dark Souls and Demon Souls, and though I haven't tried Dark Souls, Demon Souls was a pretty tough game, and while many found the controls 'tight', I found them not as responsive as I'd like them to be at times, and then problems with camera which would be utterly deadly in the game.

IF they do that i hope they keep the MP player base seperate between modes. I'd rather not summon/invade someone playing an easier game than I am.

Yep.. even if they keep the difficulty but add an easier option that will suck.
It's what made the game and seperated it from the rest.

I loved Demon Souls but didn't play Dark Souls to much however I don't see how options makes the game worse? Last I checked (The way I took it) you don't have to select the easier difficulty if you don't want to play it. I'm all about them trying to reach a bigger crowed as long as they keep the classic stuff that everyone likes already. It like getting mad at a game that has the traditional Normal difficulty but gives the option of Easy and Hard. And if anyone is concerned that people will beat DS2 and brag about it I am sure they will be some form of achievement/Trophy for beating the game on "Classic" Difficulty.

I will have a problem if they totally change everything without having the classic option.

I looked at these games as a nod to the old days.

It's about the game being seperated from all the other cookie cutter games and having a little place in gaming all to itself.
Adding an easier level just makes it another game with easier and harder settings.
I'll still grab it eventually though.
