Fextralife played on Hell Walker, the hardest difficulty, while 66 Days is locked behind New Game Plus. He said enemies don’t respawn when you die: kill three, die, and return to fight only the remaining two. There’s no real fear of losing progress or replaying everything. Personally I’m fine... with that we’ve all played action games before. He thinks locking 66 Days behind New Game Plus is a mistake. I think he is right players should choose their challenge from the start. If someone wants to suffer on their first playthrough, let them. Others can save it for NG+. Boss phases may frustrate some: reach phase three, die, and restart from phase three. It’s a deliberate choice we can respect, but people will have opinions. Reviews matter because they highlight things developers might overlook. Some want the hardest challenge from the beginning. Give them the options and let them decide. I hope they patch these. I’m happy it’s not a Souls-like, but it needs challenge. At least don’t lock 66 Days difficulty.show more

@WalkthrGaminTV wish theyd put the boss fight phases restarting from P1 on a toggle atleast. for difficulty, whats the point in having hellwalker if there isnt much more of a threat compared to the other difficulties. like damn some of us like the big suffer :/ give me something to lock in on

Sounds good to me. Not every games needs to be a brutal souls-like challenge.

Me too my friend

The boss phase should really be a toggle, dont really care about the non respawning enemies

Difficulty settings are fine and I enjoy sliders and modifiers, but these things shouldn't be locked behind a full playthrough. Some of us want the optimal challenge from a fresh playthrough.

Exactly. Let gamers choose. Some gamers are fantastic.

Yeah for me the fact enemies don't even respawn when you die is ehhh I would be fine if when you reach a checkpoint Boss one is my main worry I hate checkpoints in bossses in general I have a major preference for 1 whole fight

I totally understand your point. That’s why I prefer options.

Yeah like I don't want them to change their vision but I feel just letting me pick atleast for boss phases(Enemies prob too tough since ingrained in code) Would really improve my experience Now still very excited and prob a day 1 buy

I appreciate that Fextralife can articulate his criticism. Nowadays many critics lack even this.

Yes, game needs to be challenging at times.

I think always providing an option is a successful plan.

Yes that's also good if we want to change difficulty at times :)

Essa questão de continuar o chefe de onde parou, acho que deveria ser limitado ao fácil e o normal. Imagina sofrer em um chefe no difícil, e quando chegar na fase 2, deixar ele me finalizar e voltar com hp cheio como se nada tivesse acontecido. Tira a imersão do que é um chefe

هل تعني صعوبة Hell Walker سهل ايضا ؟

No, it’s still challenging but it’s an action game. Enemies don’t respawn and boss phases don’t reset, so you resume the phase. E.g., if the boss has three phases and you beat two, you start from the third if you die.

I’m ok with this sounds like hellwalker could be fun

Me too. I have a strong feeling people will complain 😅

How so ?

3 days left. Someone will come up with something.

Looks like euro gamer has that covered for now

😭😭😭😭

Is having respawning enemies a challenge? Also this game looks so soulslike than anything, maybe I will wait for the release for how it olays out

Did Konami's First Wave of Silent Hill Games Succeed? via @YouTube

Big agree on having it available at launch

i personally like respawning enemies cuz fighting enemies is part of the fun

So he wanted a soulslike. I dont care if enemies dont respond. I always found it more annoying that let's say I die at a boss but right before the boss some enemies were there now I gatta kill them each time I fail which is not fun.

because...this is action game. The damage that "souls" did to gaming industry and gamers is so brutal

I just wish we had a choice… enemies should respawn imo but not drop anything. The boss thing too. Some people find it challenging, but there’s no better feeling beating a boss when you both have a smidgen of life left and you already beat a phase.

Tal vez no quisieron hacer un puto Souls.... Y eso es lo que los desarrolladores estuvieron diciendo en todas y cada una de las entrevistas que dieron

Who's fextralife? Some scrub?

I can understand the not respawning enemies, but starting bosses from the phase you died in is a strange decision - it's extremely satisfying when die a bunch of times and start perfecting phases of the boss and dealing with them faster and faster each time.

Sounds fine to me. I hate the souls concept of enemies respawning when you use a bonfire for example that became so popular.

You gotta remember this guys whole thing is playing souls like and difficult games so to the average player it’s probably pretty challenging
