In the only example that comes to mind, hard is so bullshit that there is zero fun to be had in it. Which is Fire Emblem 12, where normal is so braindead easy you'd be retarded to ever lose a single unit, and hard is absolute bullshit where every enemy can easily kill your strongest dudes and the bosses are FE6 level absurdity.

That's the point you dumb dumb, you're supposed to be challenged throughout the experience not just initially while learning. If hard mode of a game doesn't demand near perfect execution on its mechanics constantly, then it's not actually hard mode.

Valkyrie Profile. On hard mode the game gives you more dungeons, loot and characters which makes the overall game easier, while on easy mode you get less of everything.

The only catch is that you can't get the A ending on easy, because that mode doesn't give you the necessary characters or events to trigger it.

The trick in blackbox NFS is never upgrading your engine, max out everything else and get one of the cars with perfect handling, decent acceleration and good top speed; mazda rx7 or toyota celica for example.

In NFSU2 the legendary hachiroku is the best car in the game thanks to this.

I wish Pokemon had difficulty settings. Literally one set of games has had those to date and unlocking them is a bitch and a half. Otherwise the games fluctuate a bit in difficulty but most of the time you have to actively avoid gaining Exp or set up some other special rules for there to be any challenge.

>>381121310
Golden Sun: The Lost Age. Hard Mode multiplies enemy health and damage by 1.5x, but the hardest bosses of Normal get screwed over by hitting the maximum health and attack caps on Hard. It makes them a lot less of a difficulty spike.

>>381104986
Nope, you just deal more damage and receive less damage on the lower difficulties in EO.

And yet Game Freak didn't actually go far enough to label it as such. I did not use post-gen6 Exp Share, but yes, it's more or less an ez modo on top of the games being easier than ever even without it.
