what is this picture suggesting?

I hate this SO much.

I appreciate the idea of making people play for longer by having them play through a second time or something, but depending on the game there is a good chance I will be bored or burned out / satiated after my first playthrough and I wish I could have just played that on hard to begin with.

Name THIRTY games that do this.

Very creative, my man.

Project X Zone

>game has easy and normal
>enemies are exactly the same difficulty
>normal just means it takes longer to get good stats

>hard mode increases ai difficulty and adds extra mechanics to enemies

This is the worst shit. Hard isn't hard when you already know how the entire game plays out, you fuckwit developers.

That's the opposite of bad design

>game has only one difficulty and it's hard as shit

>Ng+ is just harder

>all hard difficulty does is increase enemy HP until every fight is a tedious slog

Why don't they add 1 more ability per difficulty level as well as reducing down time inbetween attacks and uping damage done by both the players and bosses by a few percent.

The deal is done

Killing Floor 2 pretty much does this, at higher difficulties the enemies have completely different movement patterns

Every damn time.

Tales series does this but at least playing on higher difficulties means more loot drops, you get more bonus EXP, and you earn more GRADE from battles.

That works for some games, but if a game is balanced around combat taking a specific number of turns and your characters being able to take approximately some number of hits before dying, it will probably unbalance certain abilities if suddenly your characters die 2 turns faster, even if the damage is reciprocated on your side so enemies take about the same number of turns to kill.

DOOM

I think Berseria is going backwards on the exp only. Put it on moderate and description says exp is less now but the grade is higher. Havent checked the other difficulties yet.

Still, the part about no real change apart from damage/enemy HP is true. Pretty lazy but I guess it'd be a ton of work to incorporate new AI and moves for higher difficulties.
