Mfw he plays on easy

That comic made me cum like no other.

I'm playing Nier Automata on easy + automatic ship and I don't give a single FUCK

Medium, it's the way the game is meant to be played. But, if the developers are fucking retards at playing videogames and have designed "Medium" to be actually "easy" and "easy" as "very easy" then I go for Hard.

Isn’t that literally every game ever? And not just vidya, but board games and shit too? They’re all designed to be beaten.

I tend to play on the default difficulty the first time through. If it feels too easy I bump it up. It never feels too hard though.

I usually go for the 2nd hardest option reserving hardest for ng+.
If besting the game unlocks higher difficulties than the hardest default option.

I replay games when I’m drunk on easy. Like I want to watch a movie but participate after a handle of vodka, so I throw in and old cod or moh on easy mode.

>multiplayer games aren't designed to be beaten
Classic Yea Forumstard

>playing higher difficulty
>it’s just artificial difficulty

I do whatever it seems like is the intended difficulty, which is usually Medium. I don't like overly challenging single-player games anymore so I rarely opt for the harder modes.

In multiplayer games, the threshold required to beat the game is constantly increasing, since you're playing against humans who are constantly improving. In single-player games, if you beat it once you'll always beat it.

The problem with "difficulty" is that developers never get creative with it. It's usually
>Player health goes down, enemy health goes up
Sometimes its different, like Stalker games
>Everyone has less health

I'd start with hard. Medium usually isn't enough of a challenge and isn't hard enough to make me actually fail at any point. If you can't lose it isn't very much fun for me.

Thanks user
He spared me the trouble of asking

>beating the game
You mean winning individual matches?

having completely different gameplay for different difficulty levels would unreasonably multiply the time needed to playtest the game.

I love difficult games that makd good use of difficulty, like the souls series. Scaling difficulties are retarded tho. Its an artificial challenge. Just find the scale that you enjoy. Faggots with their gatekeeping, i tell you.

I don't seek artificial challenges in my leisure time because I actually have real life challenges going on.

"AI" enemies in single player games aren't trying to win, they're just doing what their programming tells them. Human being opponents in multiplayer are different matter.

Yes

I appreciated what they tried to do with hardcore mode in fonv, but it ended up just being another couple meters to watch. The stimpacks giving health over time and the limb crippling needing to be fixed by a doctor added a little more challenge, but not a whole lot.

I remember in MGS4, the resistance member you tail takes different routes based on your difficulty. You can do things without completely rewiring the games AI and still have a good difficulty experience.
Though with the extremely low IQ playtesters have, I can see why devs opt for the terrible less health, more health approach

>watches movie
Have fun with your designed to be finished "challenge". Go the fuck back scum.

>Gosh, user, why are you so pathetic?
i dunno i just sort of ended up this way after all the bullying

Not exactly beating a whole game, but I see you’re point as far as being challenged goes.
I guess that doesn’t bother me as long as they’re convincingly working against me.

Based

Medium, so the enemy health isn't too low like on easy, and not too bullet spongey like on hard. Literally the most balanced difficulty outhere.
This, most games only add more health to the enemies instead of making them smarter.

Really makes you think about how many games Yea Forumsirgins have dismissed as dogshit but they were just playing it on Hard to stroke their egos even though Hard often makes the game just awful to play

long run-on, but i should go to sleep anyway

>B-but Yea Forums told me I was good at video games because I beat Sekiro!
Hahahaha! Try some multiplayer, tough guy.

>Mega Man Zero
Game has some weirdness to its difficulty, if you're doing well in missions you get a high rank and boss enemies do their 'desperation moves', using permanent powerups lowers your rank
>unlock hard mode after game is done
Everything hits 2x as hard, bosses always use their ultimates no matter what rank you are, you can't gain any experience on your weapons so you're stuck with basic bitch saber slashes and lv1 buster shot charges, only way to deal elemental damage is to charge up the boomerang shield which limits your movement
It's like they designed the challenge of Hard mode to be as unfun as possible. Meanwhile in the spiritual successor Mega Man ZX:
>enemies hit twice as hard, and the only health upgrade you get is one subtank, but otherwise all player character abilities are yours for the taking
>stages have altered, more challenging enemy placement (and more of them in general)
>bosses have completely redesigned attack patterns

Very hard, I never replay a game and they're usually not very challenging on the hardest in 2019 anyway

It depends entirely on the game. Sniper Elite 4 for example gives great freedom on customizing your difficulty. You can set the enemy AI to braindead mode and play with all sniping variables turned on. Now EDF 2017 I just want to relax exterminating gigantic ants while I fly around as a cute anime character so I choose normal.

>mfw he play on hard
Wow, you're really good at video games, user, good reflexes, problem solving skills, hand eye coordination and quick thinking. Very impressive!

And that's fine for you to enjoy a game however you want. I was mocking OP's arrogance regarding single player difficulty.

confirmed for wearing striped knee socks and sitting on dildos while playing games. Pathetic.

>playing on harder difficulty
>AI is smarter and deals more damage
>Game deletes your save if you die
NOW WE'RE TALKING!

>Dev's idea of hard is "do the same thing as on normal but for twice as long"

t-thanks...

Usually normal. Hard and above are usually never playtested and the balance is completely fucked to where it's just a multiplication of enemies having more health and deal more damage so It's really not worth the trouble. The only game that doesn't do this is DQXI where bosses get more turns and use certain spells more and such on hard than normal.

I play on the hardest difficulty unless the game is pathetically hard for the sake of it. That 1 hit mode in The Evil Within for example. I'll turn the game to easy if I don't like the gameplay and I just wanted to play it to learn the story and some lore. Besides those 2 exceptions its Proud mode for me.

I thought that looked familiar

what if normal is japan hard?
gib sauce

And nobody asked for your parents to fuck raw, but we gotta deal with that too.

Fuck you, God Hand's easy mode is the normal difficulty.

FUck my asshole while you beat the boss I'm having trouble with for me please.

I love the annual surge of "difficult games are ableist"/"stop being elitist about difficulties"/"difficulty options are discrimination" that we get.

2016 was DOOM
2017 was Cuphead
2018 was that whole Telltale Studios thing
2019 was Sekiro (so far, anyway)

What do we think is going to be the cause of 2020's outburst?

What games are easier on higher difficulties?

Usually medium, or hard if it's a genre I'm decent at.

None.

Multiplayer can be fun, and it has the most interesting challenge, but there is no artistry to them. The only games that are on par with other art forms say something about something. Otherwise, its mindless entertainment

based and pilled

Depends on the game and my mood. I usually play on normal difficulty to start out and move onto higher difficulties when I get the game mechanics. If it's an FPS shooter, I just go for the highest by default like Doom 2016 or CoD.

Hard analogues usually, they tend to be balanced better.

this, but just the big willy part

Is this the C thread?

>replay on higher difficulty
Nigger that's why you start off on the harder difficulty.

gosh, it's because the rpg mechanics are so bland that the highest difficulty just turns everything into an hp singularity
so i play on an easy difficulty and never invest into my own survival to keep things interesting
with the way most games try to spread themselves as thin as possible to attract wider audiences Hard is a solid choice. won't get caught into a meme insane difficulty that's just there for the clout and won't be held by the hand like they aren't sure if you are retarded or not.

Sauce?

Thanks! Im very proud of it.

Hard usually if I know the game tries to cater to all ages and casuals. When I played Persona Q on Hard I thought it had the perfect balance of difficulty until I got game breaking skills.

Hard. Most games are piss easy on normal so even if it's just giving more hp to enemies hard mode still feels more balanced. Very hard is for second playtroughs if the game was good.

dont ever fucking speak to me like that again

Some guy went to the trouble of posting it before anyone ask and you still fucking ask.

Very hard.

Always.

Stop trying to make me like traps you fucking faggots

Games shouldn't have discrete difficulty levels.

but food is so yummy and makes me feel happy while eating
is there an infograph or something with a guide on getting a good trap body? like what excercises to do and stuff? does anyone have it?

>makes me feel happy while eating
You're bored user and that's a big problem. Get a hobby or something. Also that guide is a joke and even tells you to eat semen. Just do low weight, large rep of various exercises to cut fat and build slight muscle. Squats for example. Other than that just eat food that makes you feel full like lean meat.

The ultimate cuck, imagine taking the time to work out the mechanics of a game and getting scared at having to adapt to a human that did the same

But being drunk to the point you can feel the effects only lasts for like 20 minutes. Plus you can barely feel it when sitting down.

user, you don't undestand. I don't want to be a tranny. Taking estrogen won't fix my fucked up face, or make my nerdy voice any cute, nor will it narrow my shoulders and widen my hips.

Meant to be played? You let others decide that for you? If you were jacking off to hentai and some boomer boomed into your room and told you to use vintage porn instead, would you do it?

>widen my hips
incorrect

regardless, there are surgeries for all of those

If I need surgery to be cute, might as well not bother.
It's too late for me user, I was born male, I'm 6'2'' and I just can't be a cute girl, no matter how much I want it.

Because I only care about the story and I don't want any game overs to impede my progress. Yes, I also do read vn's.

Very hard

It doesn't reform bones, tranny. Fat forming on the thighs doesn't make male frames look less male, either, since it gets swallowed up by fat going everywhere else.

your hips will look wider because the fat around your belly will move away

In case you don't know, a man with healthy test levels can make his thighs much more proportially bigger via exercise than a fat tranny can by hoping interstitial fat will transform into subcutaneous fat (which it won't, because the fat stays where it is until it's burned and taking estrogen only affects where new fat is stored). A fat tranny will just look like any other fat person even if they started off thin, because fat people, men or women, just look like blobs of shit.

Yeah, in Arcanum it affects your experience gain...

Heh... that's right I only play on the hardest setting.

It's the only form of validation I get in my pathetic life

Medium then I replay it on harder difficulties. I need to get the feel of the game first.

I could prove I'm a real man by taking my pants off. Would you prefer that? No? Then playing on hard mode will have to do.

Yes, do that.

Seconding this

now this needs some sauce

>people will never care to see your dick
Being average is suffering. Too big to be small, too small to be big.

shit taste

I care. Post it.

If you don't play every difficulty mode from start to finish not only are you not allowed to call yourself a fan of that game, but you are not allowed to call yourself a hardcore gamer either. Real gamers and real fans appreciate the gameplay differences across difficulty levels. If your game is genuinely good, you will have enough unique content distributed among the different difficulty levels. A couple of these good games are Perfect Dark and Halo. Not only are the health pools and enemy accuracy different depending on which difficulty you play at, but different difficulties also change dialogue, easter eggs, or even gameplay and mission objectives and enemy AI. You ARE a hardcore gamer, right?

I confess to playing medium and/or hard in most games except for STALKER, where I basically play on that game's equivalent of Very Hard. The only game I ever played on easy was nu-Wolfestein because those games had garbage level design ad bullet sponges.
If I like a game a lot (like the original Doom games) I play the game on harder difficulties to challenge myself. I confess however that most FPS games that have difficulty don't ever give me incentive to replay the game on harder difficulties except for Doom. Games like Half-Life I just don't play on hard because I really see no reason to be challenged on a game like that when the normal difficulty is already frustrating enough.

Based.

This is gay, isn't it?

Normal is for normies. I mean, if you have years of gaming in your hands, picking normal is weird.

Pretty much, I'd feel really pathetic if I picked normal in any fps game despite having almost 20 years of experience in the genre.

For a time I played on easy a lot because I wanted to see if it would affect how I absorb the game's mechanics. Didn't take long to realize that not only was it boring, but that getting further into the game faster meant nothing if the challenge on the way didn't force me to use the mechanics to their full extent.

Hard.

literally the 5th post in the thread

Light of Tsukimi Manor

define easy is secondlife

Hard is usually the actual normal difficulty. Some games aren’t playable on anything other than hard.
If you played Alien Isolation on anything other than the hardest difficulty you were quite literally not playing the whole game

Why is Sekiro SO FUCKING HARD? I'm stuck at fucking Juzou the Obese and I don't know why it keeps happening, but whenever I think I got the timing and the idea of the game, it fucks me in the ass.

Depends on the game

There are a non zero amount of people here that do that

Heh, I used to play on Easy, now I just watch them on youtube. Much easier for me.

the game is incredibly fucking simple and not difficult at all. i don't understand how anyone had any actual trouble with it beyond the first 10 minutes.
