End this meme. One unlockable difficulty is somewhat acceptable, but extra, more challenging post-game content > new difficulties.

>Play on hard
>Enemies have 3x as much HP and take ages to beat while doing the same damage to you because otherwise you'd die in one hit since the game was balanced for normal

Oh boy I sure love this.

Completely acceptable in games with shitty combat

What do you guys believe is the best way games have differentiated difficulty levels? You know, besides the usual of just increasing enemy health and damage output.

Bioshocki infinite has one of the better difficuly mode, 1999 mode, ammo is more scarce, so you need to run and gun with the enemies weapons coins are more scarce, you cant max out all weapons and vigors but have to specialize, and you have to scavenge more to do so. Enemies hit harder but don't take any more extra to be killed than hard mode, they are not bullet sponges.

unfortunately you have to beat the game once to unlock it, but there is a konami cheat code to unlock it straight away

It's ok, not as difficult as it should be honestly, zip lining around is just too easy

>>378400625

>>378400757
1999 mode can be quite tough if you don't know the game. especially lady comstock and the asylum.
if you manage to get the winter shield gear you have god mode in every skyhook battle.

Because women could smell the autism and insecurity on him. He could have lost his virginity if he were younger but he got stuck in a cycle of hating himself for being a virgin which made women not want to fuck him which made him hate himself even more etc etc. That sort of shit perpetuates itself and it's why it's my firm belief that if you don't lose your virginity as a teenager then you have something majorly wrong with you.

To further expand on this his autism also sent out major red flags to girls as well. Think about the rich chad stereotype - they're confident, fit and sociable. Now of course these are all things which can be built without money but having that money makes it a hell of a lot easier to get all those. So from a girl's perspective regarding Elliot, what kind of deep seated issues must he have had to have so much money and not be buff, sociable and confident? It was basically an unconscious warning to them to stay away. On the one hand I don't blame them for this but on the other I feel bad for Elliot as well. I think all of his problems could have been solved if he'd just had a greater role model to aspire to be more like and definitive goals in mind to build his confidence and improve upon himself.

Any games that actually done this?

Nothing wrong with playing a single-player game at whatever difficulty in the privacy of your own home.

>>378393078
Difficulties:
>story only
for people who just want to enjoy the game
>easy
is mostly the same as story only with a bit of combat and this can also be fun
>normal
mostly normal just means the enemies take more time to kill, it is therefore a time wast
>hard
only for neets with too much time
>every difficulty above hard
just a time waste

Anything below hard is just not enjoyable para serle honesto familiar
