That was my experience with Persona 5.

Guitar hero
Try playing on expert all the time and then try to play on easy. My ass got ruined every time

Perfect Dark. The higher the difficulty the more stuff you have to do in the mission, utilizing more gadgets and parts of the level. The highest difficulty is essentially the canonical version of it involving all the stuff a special agent would actually have to do.

The AI doesn't get any better, the enemies just get more skills. I do really like that there's almost no stat bloat though.

Persona 5

Explain yourself

Terraria on expert. Enemy hp and damage is raised, but it feels natural. Bosses have new attacks.

You die faster but the enemies die faster too
On easy, you're both just bullet sponges

In S.T.A.L.K.E.R, the higher the difficulty the more damage everyones guns do, and so in a game about scavenging ammunition, having to hit less bullets to take down an enemy is preferable

Also cross-hairs off and Master difficulty. It's the ONLY way to play if you want the true experience

master is great

Download the subtitle patch and playing with Russian audio

That too. The English voice acting isn't great and it really adds to the alien and isolating atmosphere

This literally ruined nier for me. I managed to force myself through the ending after playing till opera on hard and then saying fuck it and doing the rest on normal when I got to the twins. Not putting myself through another run after playing through 2B's. It was exhausting.

destiny raids make mechanics tighter on hard mode

>Hard
>Very hard
>Insane just makes it so you can't recover health, items cost more, enemies spot you imminently, etc

Fuck, I'm gonna go back and actually finish the game now, I got sick of the bullet sponges and droped it.

Hello Crisis Core and Ifrit taking a million hits on hard.

How? If you're learning with actual technique instead of brute forcing every song then his shouldn't be possible.

>Insane mode removes the crutch mechanic
God I love bayonetta.

>game gives you three difficulty options with weird names
>pick the middle one because I want to play on Normal

Ninja Gaiden.

God Hand if we're talking about the difficulty levels on normal mode. The better you do the more aggressive the ai gets with added moves. they get higher health and damage as well but it's nothing like a lot of other games.

>normal start normal but gets easier with progress until it's easy at the end

fuck this shit, I'm looking at you Yoko Taro, fuck Nier Automata

>Easy gives you too much leniency
>Normal gives you a fair way to strategize and form your own path around challenges
>Hard limits your options greatly and everything becomes a number/frame game where you optimise everything and do everything the same way

Why can't a game just have a single difficulty mode and stop trying to be inclusive for everyone

Not him, but I'm guessing that someone who's used to playing on expert is going to be hitting every note early on easy because they come at you so much more slowly.

I don't know why people complain about this, sometimes the enemy hp and damage is just too low on normal, so you can get through the game without thinking and just spamming attacks, the increase in numbers can completely change how you play and actually force you to learn the mechanics.

MGS3, hardest difficulty is instant gameover.

It's actually pretty satisfying.

Devil May Cry

Did 2 do that

Civ

This, fuck static difficulty settings.

Difficulty needs to be organic or on a challenge by challenge basis.

Changes the enemy composition, increases the number and increases the chance for demons to spawn as well.

THIEF Gold’s higher difficulties add more objectives and conditions in addition to raising the minimum value of what you need to steal

Fucking Contra 4.

>game is super easy
>suddenly throws a challenge at you that requires you to play flawlessly

this is debunking the rumor that accuracy is changed with difficulty, not that damage is

still wrong

so it's damage resistance rather than the damage itself

Literally every rhythm game I know besides Rhythm Heaven is like this. Guitar Hero “hard” is just normal mode though.

>Normal is casualshit
>Hard is memery

All inflating numbers has ever one is increase the length of a fight and reduce the number of mistakes you're allowed to make

Except in Fallout 4 where damage numbers were increased for both the player and the enemies so it became a one-shot fest

care to explain, retard who's only played 4 with a friend

Guitar Hero, There should be a mode that either lets you play on the normal difficulty with orange notes to get used to them or on hard without them to avoid the 1-2 punch of a difficulty spike and a new tactic that has to be learned.

Beat saber, Can almost perfect every expert song but that new expert+ is something else.

And that can change how you play for the better. Let's imagine if dark souls was a typical game, on normal, enemies wouldn't do nearly as much damage, you would just be able to spam attacks and win without thinking about their movesets that much and yet if there was a hard mode that put it to normal dark souls difficulty that would be a bad thing by the logic that increasing the numbers isn't enough when it isn't, sometimes increasing the numbers is all the game needs.

>TFW watching BTiLC for the first time and this scene comes out of nowhere

The movie was way better than I expected it to be.

Time Splitters died for our sins. RIP.

a fresh run on hardest can be harder than the max difficulty, inferno, because there is such a huge powergap between the weapons that drop. for example you can farm mission 1 and get level 50 weapons on inferno while on hardest it's around lvl 30 but the enemies aren't that different
