What are some games that have huge amounts of artificial difficulty?
>>322500834
Real Life.
all the games I suck at
Can we PLEASE try and come up with a wholely accurate and all encompassing definition of artificial difficulty?
>>322501587
Any section that is made more difficult purely because of either a timer or increased enemies that are no different to enemies shown until that point.
Dota 2
Dark Souls
>>322501587
devil may cry
la mulana
bloodbourne/demon souls (dark souls 1/2 have the perfect balance of difficulty)
most real time strategy games
Puzzle games
>>322501587
Games that adjust quantities in the AI rather than qualities.
>>322501587
Hard for the sake of being hard instead of being an actual challenge. For example:
>repeated enemies with increased health/damage with no new abilities
>trial and error puzzles
>repeated "hard mode" missions with dumb restrictions like forced stealth or no weapons (fuck you MGSV)
Pillars of Eternity
>"Hey, player. Character positioning is really important. You can't grind for XP"
Later on
>"Hey, player, I'll put you in an arbitrary fight where you're not able to position your party the way you want. Also fuck you and enjoy the endurance system"

Dark Souls 2, DaS is still mostly fine. DaS 2 is ridiculous.
How is Oblivion not mentioned yet?

You can beat every quest at level 1

>trial and error puzzles
I fucking hate games that you can't lose

OSP is a cool premise but having to repeat the same fucking missions to get a chance at doing it is stupid and awful.

Artificial difficulty stems from challenges where failure is literally unpredictable or unavoidable. Dark Souls for example never actually does this. Even the boulder at the start is visible if you are paying attention to your surroundings. And is quite easily dodgeable if you just give it the effort. An example of an artificially difficult game for humorous purposes would be IWBTG. Several things in the game are unavoidable tricks or deaths the first time throug

Rip that fag's patreon
Reminder DSP's business is failing
Reminder that DSP is a fucking leech and a moron and idiots on /v/ have been brainwashed by other idiots on /v/ into believing he's credible.
Stop being a sheep.
How he behaves:

How he cried about low views in every 2nd video:

Him crying about not getting stable views on his low quality videos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHpKbqKLnw0
His outright failure to do an unboxing video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWaucJcomAU
Stopping playthrough because of low views. Constantly:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfbqZCQdi0M
Getting exposed by his previously best friends as the piece of shit he is:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn2dsND-bYQ
Treating his fans like utter shit:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tP-QJZV1yy8
Does poor damage control when made fun of:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cd0ZiQJVzTM
Makes patreon into his hipster welfare
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmqETwhI3dE
Filmed himself taking a shower (WHY THE FUCK)

Also, as a streamer:
>E-begs constantly
>Runs a private stream chat that's the modern equivalent of Auschwitz
>Constantly puts his games behind a paywall even if he received copies of those for free from fans or Machinima
>Only keeps people in his forums and chat that jerk his dick off. Everyone else he bans for being a "detractor"
>Constant bitching, rushed video game footage
>Pissed off his fans so hard he got banned from his own forums.
>Is in crippling debt
>Missed out on a relative's wedding for day 1 Fallout 4 views
>Is a money-hungry piece of shit.
>Scrub
DSP's M.O.? E-begging. E-begging comes first, and he as a terrible leech comes second. More Lets Players should be like this if they wanna end up in debt, but only DSP has the narcissism to actually follow through.
If after all this you're still a typical pro-DSP /v/ mouth-breather... well, sorry, I tried. Guess you can't save them all.

>believing he's credible.
Does anyone actually believe this? He's notoriously bad at video games, so much so that there are a series of "How Not to Play" supercuts.

If you repeat a lie enough times, people will believe it. Takes bit less effort on /v/ though.

Fucking Jak 2. In a few parts, anyway. I hated it.
>>322501587
Things in the game that are difficult due to being out of your control.
