Fucking Stalker

How is that even possible?

Been meaning to play stalker for a while, give me a quick rundown.

in Metro, hardest difficulty makes enemies so strong they can kill you in 1 or 2 shits. the good thing is that you can do the same damage, so basically you can wipe out everyone in 1 or 2 shots

in the easiest difficulty, the enemies are bullet sponges, making it tedious and hard. the same thing is applied to stalker

The hardest difficulty makes it so you die to basically anything, but so do the enemies

Most of the time the hardest difficulty is "everything one shots you but you one shot everything"

This is the case in metro, but on easy mode everything takes a shit tonne of bullets to kill so you're actually probably gonna be strapped for ammo.

Rough slav shooter. Open ended, lots of scavenging, atmospheric, play Shadow of Chernobyl first, use the zone reclamation project if you run into too many bugs, stay away from the complete mod and good hunting STALKER.

3D Dot Game Heroes has 3 difficulties: Normal, Hard, and From
Hard mode has much more aggressive AI and late game enemies show up much earlier, and some early enemies don't show up at all
From mode is hyped up to be the ultimate challenge but its just Normal mode except you die in 1 hit. It ends up being much easier than Hard.

What's wrong with the complete edition?

Complete is a mod for STALKER people often recommend for newcomers, stay away from it, it makes fundamental changes to gameplay that make the game much easier.

Are there any graphical overhauls that won't effect gameplay?

Yes but the game looks great without them anyways.

Fair enough, thanks for the heads up

Easy is so slow that it's harder to follow than the levels with more hit markers on higher difficulties.

Valkyrie Profile hard mode gives you access to a bunch of items that let you break the game.

Tenchu Z was like that on the 360. If I played on Easy, I would get raped every time. But if I played Hard I could easily do missions perfectly without even trying or restarting. I don't know if it was a glitch that reversed the difficulties or something, but I never understood why I could do hard mode so well but easy and normal really fucked me up.

>Open ended,
No it isn't.

In Valkyrie Profile difficulty affects which dungeons you get and the easy dungeons have awful items in them, so your gear is worse than if playing on hard.
On easy party members also join at a specific level instead of at 1 like on hard, which sounds bad but you have accessories that increase your stats when leveling up and catching characters up is really easy, so your party on hard ends up with substantially higher stats than easy as well.
As a result hard is by far the easiest difficulty and easy is by far the hardest.
