Only take blue moves and spam overwatch. Don't ever depend on light cover unless you have to. Limit the amount of places you see as you advance to avoid triggering multiple squads.

Beat all the Modern Warfare's on Legendary, But 3 was so fucking piss easy that I only rented BLOP's2 for one run of campaign.

The AI in Red Alert 3 was so shitty that it either did nothing, or rushed you with a massive army consisting of every type of unit.
It's not that it was hard... but all I wanted was to build a nice looking base.
Link Between Worlds, for the first quarter of the game
Either play babby babby mode or Die like a bitch and rebuy everything. I don't know why they thought quadruple damage was a good idea, dying in two hits is just plain awkward. Though it becomes easy again once you have 15 bottles
>>321035001
>Thin Man
I swear to God the first match a Thin Man appeared he scored a 4 point critical hit against one of my squad, I thought about quitting at that one point thinking that was their normal damage.
>>321034112
I might just be a casual but this. It fucking rain gold on hard mode though and the pawns learn from both good and bad behaviors so if I gotta take my pick I choose hard mode and just deal with the goblins 1-hit kills for a while.
>>321035001
yeah, OP here, I kinda made this thread because of xcom, I was getting my ass royally kicked in classic, actually managed to get to month 2 but only because I never saw a thin man before, got lasers and was wiped out on the next mission, now on normal the missions take 5 minutes and I never lose a man

>hard difficulty is literally just a damage modifier
Why is this allowed
>>321035415
F-Zero GX didn't fuck around. They may as well call that shit master mode as by that point you can honestly claim you had mastered the game.

I don't understand people who think hard mode dragons dogma is hard. Enemies do double damage, stamina drain is doubled except sprinting. But you get gold out the ass, double XP disciple and rift crystals, pawns aren't even affected by hard mode
This, on normal it's just as easy as Mario Kart but once you put it on hard shit goes hardcore pretty fast.

Didn't know this. I was going with the solo assassin route. Damn I guess I shot myself in the foot with that one.

Hard is supposed to be a challenge, not assrape.
KH games at max difficulty have a very annoying tendency to oneshot me, but are a cakewalk on any lower difficulty.
>>321035656
It's got to be fair for everyone else in the game

What are some games that do this?
The new Strider game on normal is pretty easy you can just kinda spam bosses down
On hard a lot of the bosses are fucking brutal
Pretty fun game though as long as you play it on hard. I have a sweet spot for metroidvanias though
>>321035595
Beat this game on S class. It was pretty hard. Especially considering at that level the AI is totally nuts.
>tfw start off all my games on hard so I get motivated to git gud
>>321035550
>I don't understand people who think hard mode dragons dogma is hard.
Might have something to do with a single goblin being more than capable of ruining your day when you start the game.
>>321035835
Pretty much any jrpg, the first one off the top of my head is Bravely Default.
Although it doesn't involve difficulty, most MMOs use this shit like a crutch.
>Megaman Zero Collection
The easy mode straight up removes all insta-death spikes and gaps, makes enemies damage you less, and even gives you all of the unlockable powerups and boosts and shit from the very start, including something that gives invincibility.

I picked hard the first time, figured normal would be easy but honestly didn't have much trouble aside from some bosses like the centipede. Great game though, liked so much that I had to 100% it, it's terribly underrated though, wish more people played it.
>>321036045
Wow it does 4 dmg instead of 2 DDx
Double damage isn't really a big deal until you start dealing with faggots like the golems with the magic discs
I think Halo is one of the few games which actually got the difficulty right. Heroic was just right in most games, but if you're really into a hard game either play halo 2 on legendary or play mythic on the other games. It quickly turns into a murder fest.
Also Reach, 1, and 2 also had some of the funnest enemies in the form of Elites. Especially Reach.
>>321036158
Hard might have been more hard for me because I was used to normal where you could kinda mow through everything
I found a few bosses that I had to try a few times like the sisters fight, gorilla, centipede, water guy. Once I learned the patterns it was fine though.
Yeah it's pretty underated
>>321036292
Reach fucked up its legendary difficulty, I mean I beat it solo but most elites took like 2 fully charged plasmas before you headshot them
>>321035656
So he can cheat on hard mode by giving it The Flintstones-style power.
>>321036402
It usually takes 1, only higher level elites took more. But yeah noob combo is what saved you through most of the game.
God Hand is like this if you've already beaten it on normal, but you're not that amazing at the game overall.
Hard mode kicks my ass, but I can hold my own on Normal with no problem.

Like the only thing that screws me over is enemy reinforcements moving the moment they appear in Hard. Rest of the game is still ok on Hard except for this one element. Meanwhile Normal was too much of a cakewalk.

I feel bad playing any game on anything less than its hardest difficulty setting. The only exception when there's normal and super suicide or something, where you only have one life. I'll stick to normal for something like that.
Anyways, for me, Deus Ex: Human Revolution is to easy on normal and too hard on hard.
It feels a lot different than the original Deus Ex but fun nonetheless.

I was completely blown away by how not shit Strider was for a western developer tackling a Japanese action series and moving it to a different genre, especially early on when I feel the action and platforming is at it's best.
Different plasma types that you have to match to color coded enemies, low enemy variety, and often real boring level design later in the game really hold it back for me though.
Trails in the Sky: SC
Normal is pretty easy and hard and above is unlocked right at the start, but they were originally meant for NG+. It gets tough.
To be fair normal mode is just slightly easier than Returns, it's still a good challenge. But fuck me Hard Mode is brutal, no checkpoints was really pushing it.

Catherine was the game that made me realize that I can play on whatever difficulty I want because games are about having fun.
Usually I like to play everything on medium/hard but normal wasn't fun for me with Catherine so I put it on easy.
>>321043940
I did the same thing. I just wanted to see where the story went. Would rather not be stuck on a level for ages in a game I was primarily playing for the story.
>>321043404
More that I can't ever git gud at them.
>>321044048
Feel free to call me out if I'm wrong but if you played it on easy you didn't get the whole story.
>>321044159
Being an expert is no small feat.
Making the jump from Muzukashii to Oni in Taiko. I got over that wall though.
>>321044204
Really? I'm pretty sure I got all of the story. Nothing felt like it was missing.
Just google around and couldn't find anything about easy mode having less story. Maybe I just didn't look hard enough.

Starcraft 2 vs KI;_;
>>321041681

I Googled around and came up with the same answer. Normal was definitely too hard near the end and I did it FOR NOTHING.
TLoU
Grounded is borderline unreasonable.
>>321045038
You're a fucking casual.
>>321045235
OHKO from clickers, 2 hits from normal runners, getting headshot is an instant kill, ammo and crafting supplies are ridiculously scarce, all while dealing with the buggy AI.
But I guess if you can do it I could too.
>>321045459
It's always a OHKO from clickers though. Just stealth the game and it's easy. Only hard part is playing with Ellie cause she's shit at melee.
>>321045235
And you are completely full of shit and probably haven't even played the game
>lol but TLoU is such a casual game am I rite xD
Nope
>>321045459
If youre talking about Survivor mode, you may have a point because i never played that, i was too lazy to finish playing through it after i left the first level.
But hard mode is easy as fuck man, I had a surplus of supplies.
>>321033875

Just let me know when a game threatens to erase your progress and make you start from the beginning if you fuck up the final boss fight, but ONLY if you've been playing on the hardest setting. That's the kind of maximum difficulty I want to see in games.
>>321045556
At least on the easier difficulties you've got the resources to build shivs constantly and also ammo to deal with them. I gave up at the standoff with David and Ellie because I'd always run out of ammo to kill the bloater right at the end.
>>321045591
Grounded was an extra difficulty added in the remaster. I think they're fairly similar but you have no hud plus even less supplies.
>>321045815
I just completed it on survivor and yeh I had to rely on checkpoints refilling my ammo. You just need to tactically use the bottles and bricks to throw at runners before stabbing them to have any effect in that section.
>>321045815
Oh well my bad. I can't speak for grounded mode because I didnt play the remaster
>>321033875
FE:A in the sense that everything but Lunatic+ is piss easy and Lunatic+ is pretty much up to the RNG.
If you swap normal with hard (which is basically normal mode anyway) and hard with lunatic: FEA.
