I am making my way through Yakuza series right now and while playing 5 I realized that I am not that invested into the game’s combat, so I turned it to easy and that just streamlined the combat so much for me. I would recommend to maybe try Yakuza 0 on normal at first and then just switch it to easy if you feel like the gameplay might be dragging on.

    Or maybe they just don’t have fast reflexes so easy is… easier. My wife almost never plays on normal because she can’t.

    If she plays on normal, she will never finish the game and be so frustrated that it will cause her not to enjoy her evening. She works a lot and needs to de-stress when she gets home, so playing on easy is the best way for her.

    Stop judging people. Just play your game and enjoy it.

        If the opinion is “playing on easy means you don’t actually want to play,” I’m gonna give it the criticism it deserves.

        Let me have my opinion. Why even leave your comment if you are pro-opinions?

          I’m just expressing my opinion and give recommendations. Do what you want, its your experience that is ruined, not mine. Geez people need to calm down, its a discussion. No need to get personally attacked.

            The fact that you believe there’s a single way to play a game is so fucking hilarious when stuff like speed-running and challenges exist. Oh well. Enjoy your purist bullshit.

              We weren’t talking about speed-running or challenges. And I made clear its not the only way to play a game, but for people who don’t want to play the game as intended. Its a totally different and degraded experience, because the game is designed in a certain way. Therefore I do not recommend using easy mode… unless (and I made that clear before too) game is unfair or badly designed or if you don’t want to play the game anyway, and just enjoy cut scenes.

              I’m not attacking you or judging you, I try to protect the worse experience for from you and encourage to actually learn to play the game. If you don’t wan to play the game like that, then maybe easy mode is for you. Or play another game. It’s not my choice its yours, I don’t take your choice away!

                Ah so speedrunning and challenges, which are arguably harder, is fine? Speedrunning and exploiting glitches A-OK? But easy mode because I’m 44 and don’t react like I did at 19, that’s ruining the experience? Doesn’t make sense.

                  The OP does not talk about speedrun and challenges. The one guy in the comments just changed the discussion topic. And even if so, Speedrunning and exploiting glitches has nothing to do with playing the game as intended or the experience of the game. And yes off course speedrunning ruin the experience of the game, as it is not playing the game as intended (unless it is specifically a speedrun game, but that is an exception and not our topic). That is a whole another topic and has nothing to do with our discussion and has nothing to do with the initial OP topic.

                  The OP asks what games to play on easy and which games he recommends, and I told him what I recommend or when I do not recommend playing them. It doesn’t make sense to you, because you are conflicting different issues with the topic. Speedrun is not our discussion (that guy just started talking about it).

                  Mind you, the point the OP brought was to use easy mode because he does not like or find the combat engaging. Therefore he does not want to play the combat (and by extension the game as it is intended). How can you guys read and interpret all kind of nonsense and start flaming?

                    You do seem to be simplifying what a game is, though. Boiling it down to what is “intended”. If easy difficulty was created and put into the game by the developer, is it not intended?
