He doesn't play on the hardest difficulty setting

>he doesn't play on the hardest difficulty setting

Is anything more disgusting?

why don't you play on THIS hardest difficulty setting:
*unzips dick*

>Is anything more disgusting?
Yes. Difficulty settings where the only change is you give less damage and take more damage

>that friend who plays on nightmare and complains its too hard
>that friend who plays on easy and complains its too easy

OwO What's this?

>play on hardest difficulty
>proceed to hate the game
>play on normal
>enjoying every moment of it

I try to play on the hardest difficulty when possible. I tried with X-Com: Enemy Within's "Impossible" mode, and failed miserably. Hardest game I've ever played.

>he plays on the hardest difficulty setting

Is anything more tryhard compensating?

>hardest difficulty is locked and you need to beat the game on "normal" first

I DARE you to try XCOM: EW on Impossible Ironman with Red Fog, Damage Roulette and Diminishing Returns. And this isn't even the game's final form.

I just don't have the patience for it. I can't get past 3 missions on Impossible without failing. The amount of luck and planning required to win a mission is ridiculous.

I don't know how people beat that fucking mode.

It entirely makes me a bitch but I've toned down from the Nightmare modes in gaming because college stress is literally killing me and I need vidya to be a bit more relaxing atm.

When a games higher difficulties are just enemies are tougher and the player is weaker ,I find it boring. If it means I can get better equipment or level faster or anything else to go with it,then it is fine.

What are some games that do difficulty well.

Some time ago a friend and I were discussing the idea of building difficulty into tge story. Higher difficulties meant the enemies were better trained and equipped.

>beat game
>have no desire to replay it

>Higher difficulties meant the enemies were better trained and equipped.
So take more hits and do more damage? What you just said you hated? kek

Seriously fuck this shit. I BARELY play games to completion these days. I dont care how good your game is. Im not finishing it on a braindead setting so that I can play on a decently designed difficulty just so that you can pad out your game with 3 playthroughs to get some shitty "true ending".

Any "true ending" that just involves beating the game 17 times is fucking garbage.

Hardest Difficulty is DLC.

>game has difficulty settings

What is this 1995?

yeah, what I did to your dad's asshole last night

>"Give me the story" difficulty settings exist
>Devs actively trying to be "polite" to easymode fucks instead of taking their money and mocking them for playing that difficulty
Does this make anyone else violently sick.

NOW LOOK AT THIS GUN

Resistance: Fall of Man

What makes it worse is that it probably had the longest campaign I've ever played in an FPS.

>hardest difficulty just changes numbers like HP and damage

so what's so funny about this man being murdered?

It's art.

It's kino, not funny.

It's genuinely artistic.
I don't find it funny but memeloving fucks typically do.

>playing some xbox live 4 player coop game at a friends place
>they insist on playing on the hardest difficulty
>nothing changes but damage values
>enemies now take more hits and can almost always 1 shot you
>game has a blocking mechanic that has 0 block breaking
>hold block, let out an attack, hold block again the entire time
>80% of playtime is spent standing still and blocking

Really, a game need to handle difficulty well first, then it needs to have sufficiently deep mechanics to benefit from the added difficulty.

RE4 is a pretty strong example of simple changes making the difficulty better.
