Does it really bother you that people without as much skill can also enjoy a game? Personally, I have a lot of difficulty with some sequences. I really don\u2019t see a downside here.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Wow, look at all these whiny pissbabies who can\u2019t handle the idea that someone enjoys a video game for different reasons than they do.<\/p>\n<p>Kudos to this developer. Hopefully more game devs implement similar things for their games, and games become more accessible to all people!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Also, sometimes I\u2019m just upset that I don\u2019t have time to look at a cool piece of graphics or landscaping like I go \u201cWow this building is really beautiful what is OH SHIT ZOMBIES\u201d and I would love the ability to turn the zombies off for a second so I can look at how well made the environment is.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Gamers are like \u201cVideogames aren\u2019t just all about shooting people! They\u2019re immersive works of art with complex storylines and masterful worldbuilding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then when people are like \u201cOh okay, that\u2019s true. Can we have a mode of the game then that doesn\u2019t revolve around shooting people so that we can focus on taking in the art and story and world?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then the gamers transform into full crybaby mode and show that they literally can\u2019t imagine a game where the focus actually is on characters, scenery, story, etc. and that they consider a game worthless and pointless without constant violence.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This line of logic is built solely around gamers who\u2019s need for validation comes only at the chance of lording their gaming skill over others versus people enjoying the game. If they can\u2019t feel superior to others, then they won\u2019t enjoy themselves as much, versus having multiple modes of play so everyone can enjoy a title and it doesn\u2019t affect either group.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Fake Geeks acting as though godmode cheats haven\u2019t been a thing for approximately forever.\u00a0 It\u2019s essentially a variation on that theme.\u00a0 Besides, Tourist Mode+Photomode would be the greatest thing for second or third playthroughs if you\u2019re like me and like poking through the visual design of a level.\u00a0 <em>It\u2019s really cool<\/em> that designers can pack different types of engagement into one program.\u00a0 I mean even the name for the mode, \u201ctourist mode\u201d, is telling in a really interesting way.\u00a0 The game is a <em>place<\/em>\u00a0as much as it is anything else, which is pretty unique for a form of media.<\/p>\n<p>Or, you know.
