ITT: Games that take the piss out of you for playing on

>>323503481
i guess some one decided to start with Wolfeinstein instead of dishonored.

IWBTG

Literally nothing wrong playing on easy in the first playthrough.

>>323503481

I also enjoy steamrolling through games.

>>323505029
This is the fucking worse, some games give you them all if you do the harder difficulty but man it pisses me off when they don't

Playing TW3 on Death March for the first playthrough was honestly the smartest thing i've ever done. How people can claim they finished it if playing on anything lower shouldnt even be allowed.

The Evil Within can eat shit. You had to beat the game a minimum of three times to get Platinum, and that's only if your first run was done on no upgrades. If you played normally the first time, it takes four runs.

If the story's any good, it'd feel better as a reward you get after getting through a difficult part of the game. Just tediously plowing through a complete non challenge to see what happens seems pointless. Why not just look the game up on Youtube then? It takes roughly the same effort.

>>323505925
if you're playing to enjoy the story, you should consider a different medium of entertainment

>>323506115
I remember playing a game that did this a long time ago, can't remember the name, just that it (probably) was a JRPG and it made me furious and every time I played the game I was enraged.

>>323504403
I actually only play on easy on repeat playthrough when I just want to blast through the game again. That or in very select instances when I don't want to be too bothered by a game, sometimes I end up enjoying the game more than I thought and regretting setting it to easy halfway.

I always play on easy, I play games to have fun not get stuck on them and be frustrated. If I want frustration i'll look at my cheque book.

>>323505925
>>323506005
>>323506350
I only think this is okay if the gameplay is complete shit. I wouldn't judge anyone who would play VtM:B and cheats through the sewer and forced combat sections. That shit was not worth the effort.

>>323506493
Wanted was fucking awesome. How dare you.

>>323506363
That's ok, if you're not playing on Nightmare you might as well play on Easy just to make the enemies less damage spongy in that game. Try doing the boss rush mode on Normal though.

>>323503481
Every difficulty in The New Order was easy except for Uber.

>>323506329
>Normal is piss easy

You have to be mentally retarded or a 40 year old woman to be unable to at least play on normal.

But this doesn't happen. Developing good AI is a colossal challenge and you wouldn't hide it behind a difficulty setting that the majority of players would not experience until their 2nd play through.

I haven't played DkSII in awhile but cant you use ascetics to get that? or do those not work with items

Hard mode of the thread: what are some games that are just outright better quality-wise on easy?

new order on uber is boring as fuck. It takes away everything that's great about the game (over the top action, dual wielding fucking shotguns and massacre nazis) and forces you to stay in cover and pop up for headshots. You literally die in a few hits and the entire game slows down to a crawl.

>>323508386
I played on normal first but had to switch it to easy because Monsoon kept giving me trouble. I kept playing for the god tier music and gameplay. A game doesn't have to be hard for me to consider it good.

>>323507067

that's not a mario kart reaction image. it's worse, it's a tr4sh reaction image.

For whatever reason the vender that sells that is unaffected by ascetics

Some things don't work with ascetics, like NG+ exclusive events. Also fuck grinding for random drops with ascetics, The Gutter is at around level 25 for me and I can't get hit by anything stronger than a whiffle bat.

>>323503481
New Order was easy as fuck. Can't imagine what the easiest difficulty was like. Played through the game on second highest difficulty but could have probably managed the hardest setting without too much trouble.

I wouldn't say that developing good A.I is a challenge, more that developing fair, challenging A.I is a challenge.
Lots of games just resort to letting the A.I cheat and do things like read your button inputs. Developers don't want to make A.I this ridiculously good, and aren't skilled enough to gimp it just enough so that it's fair, but hard.

I beat it on Uber and I'm a shit at FPS, it's really just about finding the best places to go in any given firefight, staying on the move, and being stealthy where possible.

The only really annoying bits are the part at the helipads at the very end of the chapter where you get the LaserKraftWerk and the last fight on the submarine with all those fucking shotgun guys. The shotgun guys are the worst.

>>323504403

Killer Instinct (SNES, not reboot)

There was a difficulty slider from 1 (Easiest) to 8 (Hardest). Only 4 (Default/Normal) and up allowed you to view individual character endings; otherwise, you just got a message from the devs telling you to get gud and try again on a harder difficulty.

Well Anon, you're ___right

>>323511484
Completely different stories and weapons. Same engine. TOB is a prequel.

New Order is the original game Old Blood is a standalone expansion.

Play both, but play New Order first because it's the main game and it's better.

Wolfenstein: The New Order is a great game. Everybody should play it. It's a shooter for people who loves shooters and it's got a great story. I haven't played all the way through it but I've loved everything about it.... except for this screen.

Why is this even here? What is even the point of having this kind of super-easy mode if you're going to insult anybody that might actually want to pick the easiest mode? Is this a joke difficulty that's so easy that bullets don't actually hurt you or something? I know it's a reference to earlier games in the series, but it would have been just as weird back then, too. The imagery only seems appropriate if you are designing a mode that is actually designed for a baby to play! (Note: Babies should not play Wolfenstein: The New Order).

I don't know of too many other games that do this, but Ninja Gaiden Black is somewhat infamous for its "Ninja Dog" difficulty that is even more blatant in being an insult. It just strikes me as very weird. If you're gonna include a difficulty that's so easy that you basically insult any players that might wish to choose it, than just cut it so that it's not there at all. Nobody wants to pick a difficulty level that makes fun of you.

Most games or engines are too sloppily produced to handle enemy spam. You can blame the coders, artists, whatever, it doesn't matter. The average modern game can barely chug along while rendering a few enemies.

I'm guilty of this. Warhammer 40k: Space Marine is a good example. It played bad, was repetitive, and generally not very fun but seeing real space marines fighting orks and demons was too much to pass up and played it only for the story.

Not sure but it definitely happens because a reviewer got called out for it and then changed his review so that no one would notice but didn't say that he had made the change.

He also kept the rest of the review and the score even though most of it was based on him being wrong.

Nice come back, don't you have a game to speed run on the hardest difficulty to prove....something to....Who again? If you're going to challenge yourself at least do something people care about. Go beat a game in world record time, go win a SF4 tournament, go join a pro SC2 team. Beating a game your first time on a mode where you die on any hit and enemies take 70000 hits to die isn't impressive, it just shows you're a fucking autist.

I generally play on normal but for some games I have no issue jumpin down to easy so it's more fun. Killing things is fun.

That was my "comeback" because sometimes, people post something that is honestly wrong in so many ways that it's not even worth correcting them.
That was you.

Also, I don't play on hard mode for anyone else. I do it for myself. And I derive pleasure from the knowledge that I was able to do it.

This is true for pretty much everyone who plays games on hard mode.

I don't expect you to get it, because you're a fucking kindergartener. But some people actually take pleasure in honing a skill or craft.

It's the same reason I do mental arithmetic, rather than grabbing a calculator. It makes you better at other, tertiary things.

But that's a side effect. Not the goal. The goal is always just to challenge yourself. If you're not trying to grow as a person, then you're a fucking useless ape who should just throw himself in the goddamn zoo.

And I don't. I just want to have fun because video games are entertainment, especially single player ones. If I want to test myself I'll play a competitive game or try speed running a game, not playing on a mode that literally does nothing but make me die in a hit and every enemy becomes a bullet sponge. Accept nothing you do will change others opinions and if people want to run games on easy you just have to deal with it instead of throwing a temper tantrum on a mongolian sweater enthusiasts subreddit.

Most of the time Normal is far too easy.
The thrill and fun of playing the harder difficulties is the fact that in order to beat them you have to master the game mechanics and use the tools provided by the game.
You don't need to do that when you play on easy, because there is really no need to. Most of the time the enemies barely hurt you and they die almost instantly, giving you no challenge at all.
You can have this amazing game in your hands and literally ruin it by playing it on easy.

I am the consumer so yes, I do get a say. If I want to play the game for story I will, and no one can stop that. If I wish to use the disc to play fucking frisbee I can because once the game leaves the publisher, he gets no say in what the fuck I do with it within the confines of the law.

I'll be honest.
I play most games on Normal for my first playthrough, but if I really just want to know a story on the first run I have a high chance of going Easy just to get a feel for everything and prepare myself for future playthroughs.

Especially if it's a game that promotes replayability, so I can clear Easy and then immediately jump to Normal or Hard. I beat KH2 on Beginner and then skipped straight to Proud and succeeded a week later.

It was their option to include an Easy mode, or in more recent times 'Casual' as I literally see games call it, and they took the time to have it rebalance the game to the point that some games even actually do alter things between difficulties. Saying a game is inherently dumbed down and not the developer's intent if you play on an easier difficulty is factually incorrect because they could've simply not offered an easier difficulty in the first place and they put it there to let those who may not be 'good' at the game to get in more comfortably.

If you really think easy modes are a problem, then you're the one with issues if you're thinking like this.

That shit was crazy.
That said, it was easy enough to rush through DaS2 two more times. And I enjoyed doing it, so no problem there.

Every game where hard mode is just enemies with inflated HP.
Legend of Mana did that to the extreme, every shit-tier enemy took forever to kill if you activated hard mode.

I used to think people like you were horrible, but when i got older and have responsibilities, easy is just much better for a game.

plz go. Even the level of trolling has fallen since reddit got here.

I just play on what the game defaults to when you start a new game

It's weird, Kingdom Hearts 2 does the same thing with Proud Mode where all enemies deal 2x damage to you and genuinely gave you no benefits to compensate besides unlocking the secret ending video more easily. Critical Mode in Final Mix+ stunts your HP and MP growth as well as taking away a quarter of earned EXP, but to compensate you do 1.25x damage (which matters, a Level 1 Sora in Critical with the right setup can do more damage than a Level 60 Sora on Standard) and get a host of extra abilities and bonuses to start with plus 3 AP for gains rather than 2 AP.

That's what normal is fucking for, easy is almost always so braindead that there isn't even the baseline amount of challenge required to be fun. Like I get not wanting to play ulitmate uber unwinnable mode, but how do you even have fun if you can't lose?

Depends on the RPG. But in terms of straight-up, stat-based RPGs that often rely around turns, buffing the monsters and enemies up is usually the primary solution, yes. In ARPGs or so forth where stats aren't everything, however, there could be alternative solutions, most devs are typically really fucking lazy about it though.

She stops calling you master Ryu and refers to you as ''Young ninja Ryu'' She also starts saying shit like ''Just follow my lead and you'll be fine'' and ''I overestimated you'' she doesn't say this unless you pick the super easy mode and also you are forced to wear one of her headbands on your wrist for the whole game.
