A 5-year-old has gone through Bloodborne, and his father rebuked those who complain about the difficulty

Studio games FromSoftware, including Bloodborne, are famous for their high difficulty – many users cannot play them or experience various difficulties during the passage, in some cases cursing the developers for not providing the opportunity to choose a low difficulty level.

Against the backdrop of complaints from players and some journalists about the high difficulty in games, as in the case of the recently released rogue action Returnal, the story of Robbie Fox, who told netizens that his 5-year-old son managed to get through the hardcore action RPG Bloodborne, looks remarkable.

Last month, Robbie Fox actively shared videos of his son getting to know the dark soulbourne and fighting his way through Yharnam, and on April 30, he announced that five-year-old Ezra had completed his playthrough. Later, the Goomba Stomp portal interviewed the proud father of the young gamer.

“Ezra has officially passed Bloodborne!”, – said the father of the 5-year-old gamer happily. I don’t want game journalists to complain about the difficulty in games! We don’t need “light modes” in every game! If my 5 year old can do it, so can you! “

As explained by Robbie, despite requests, for a while he did not allow his son to play Bloodborne, but once, for fun, he allowed him to start the game to see how he handled the initial location.

“Ezra always likes to watch me play. He watched me play Sekiro, Dark Souls 1 & 3, the Demon’s Souls remake and most recently Bloodborne. He kept asking me if he could try and for a while I didn’t But one day I decided to just see how he handled the initial location. To my surprise, he did well, so I let him just keep playing until it gets too hard. However, he didn’t want to quit. “

According to his father, with his clues as to where to go, it took the boy 21 hours to complete Bloodborne, while playing for three weeks. As for the bosses, with whom he had to “tinker”, then these were Father Gascoigne, Idle Spider Rom and Shadows of Yharnam. To defeat the latter, a phantom had to be summoned, and as the father notes, this was only once.

The boy’s father was also asked if he plans to let him play other FromSoftware games, which are also known for their difficulty levels, to which he replied in the affirmative.

“While all From Software games have similar game mechanics and level design, they also differ in many ways. If Ezra wants to try other games, I’ll let him under my supervision. But if he has problems or doesn’t like the game, then I won’t. insist on passing, “emphasized Robbie Fox.

In addition, the head of the family said that after watching the presentation State of play his son is interested in the upcoming action adventure Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, which for him will become the first representative of this genre, combining a third-person view and shooter mechanics.

It should be noted that many netizens disagreed with Robbie Fox’s opinion that “simplified modes” in games are something superfluous, indicating that people with disabilities are also addicted to video games, for whom the lack of flexible difficulty settings is another obstacle to comfortable familiarization with the game.
