Elden Ring's developers know most players use guides, but still try to cater to those who go in blind: 'If they can't do it, then there's some room for improvement on our behalf'

FromSoftware boss Hidetaka Miyazaki says reading guides is "perfectly valid," but doesn't want it to be a necessity.

"I only play games that don't hold my hand."
*Uses guides
Pathetic.
Pathetic to not let people play they way they want, maybe?
Like how none of the fanboys want fromsoft to add any sort of easy mode for accessibility? Hypocrites being hypocritical.
I'm one of the fanboys that demands an easy mode so I can get more of my friends gud (and addicted) at FromSoft games and come play with me.
Why should my friends have to put as many hours as I had to, in order to become less bad at FromSoft games? There's no sense in it, yeah I can carry them and give them all the info they could need, but that takes away from the fun of figuring things out and becoming a parry god.
I do agree with you though, the elitism of many in the community needs to stop (or at least be toned down).
How do you agree with them on elitism? They were being elitist in calling the usage of guides pathetic.
Hadn't considered that viewpoint, you're absolutely correct.
When it's the same people that brag about playing games that don't hold your hand, it seems hypocritical to find an outside source to HOLD YOUR HAND, doesn't it?
You have no reason to believe these are exactly the same people. Seems to me you are conflating them because you want to shit on people using guides and at the same time excuse yourself for being an ass because "tHey ArE hyPOcrItEs".
Even if you were right, what is the problem with people wanting mechanical difficulty and using guides to learn how to master it?
There is an easy mode. You can summon a whole second player for any challenge. If that's not enough, go level up. Still not enough? Use guides.
Purists are in the minority, hence "most."
The people in line one of your comment are practically mutually exclusive to the people in line two.
