It says here that you don't play on the hardest setting.
I dont want to die over and over because the game want you to do shit in a certain way and has retarded AI
Fuck you.
>Implying I want to work for your shitty artificial company where I have to work double overtime for half the pay.

Playing most games on the hardest setting nowadays is more about an exercise in patience or cheesing the AI than actual difficulty
i play on normal first. and if i like the game i will play it again on hard.
i don't mind playing a game multiple times if its fun
>can't choose hardest setting unless you've beaten the game on 2nd hardest difficulty
>>253978482
Depends on the game. If all I'm doing is playing the game longer due to enemies having more hp or taking less damage, then what's the point.
If I master the fights on normal I can just as easily beat them on hard.
>>253978482
I always play on the hardest available setting.
Even then most modern games aren't even hard.
I play on easy
I play on the difficulty under hard because I've never played the game before.

I love TWEWY and W101, but this pisses me off so goddamn much.
You might want to stop outsourcing your background checks.
>>253978482
But all I play is Runescape and Second Life.

Doesn't mean you played it on your first playthrough.
>Choose Hardest difficulty
>Game doesn't require you to change your strategy whatsoever or seek to challenge you but instead opts to completely fuck the pacing of the game by making enemies damage sponges and effectively making every encounter a boring, tedious chore
yeah nah, call me when there's a modern developer that isn't a fucking cunt

>>253979539
Its just a game man
Im not scared, I just prefer blowing shit up than being blown up
>>253980027
Then blow shit up on the hardest difficulty.
Even if the enemies are damage sponges it's not hard to avoid being blown up yourself.
>>253980136
I just cant be arsed mate, I dont have the time to play games for over an hour these days anyway

Has anyone in the history of Dark Souls 2 ever been hit with a lightning spear?
>>253980136
yeh but it sure as hell makes the experience significantly dull. What is says to me is that the devs couldn't think up of extra challenges to keep the player on their toes, so they just up the enemies health. I would much prefer it if they increased the enemy count instead
>>253980867
No but magic shouldn't be in the game in the first place.
>>253981054
>>253978482
That's incorrect. You probably have someone else's profile. I always play on the hardest difficulty when given the option (don't like it when devs lock the hardest until I play through it a first time). Don't care about "artificial difficulty" nor do I do it to make a point. I just start on the hardest.
>>253981297
Not my fault you rely on crutches.
Why would I want to plays games on the hardest setting? I prefer playing for fun rather than frustration. Dont see a point in wanting added difficulty to a new game for a first run. Generally it lengthens your completion time and not in a good way.
High difficulty is better left to second run throughs in my opinion though I will play a game on hard if I hear/play part way though and it's easy as balls (Looking at you Last of Us and Ys:Memories of Celceta)
>>253981409
but it's high fantasy not realistic medieval
Yes, because I play video games forfunrather than internet bragging rights.

tried playing razors edge on ultimate ninja mode
finished it after 3 weeks with two controllers broken after raging so much
>>253980867
There was a period of time where they would make 90 degree turns and bolt your sorry ass with ludicrous accuracy. Think that shit got patched though.
