Literally how most video games with extreme settings are.

They don't care that it's broken as fuck, it's usually made to satiate autists anyways.

Normal/regular Hard is the way most games should be played.

That's what i liked about Ys. You max out the level really fast on every setting.

Bosses are more of a challange on Nightmare, but the mobs are still fodder with the exception of the tower part.

Hard is objectively the best setting to play on when your character is on some quest or adventure where they have to put all their effort into achieving victory.

>inb4 I choose easy to play for the story

If you unironically choose easy then you're openly admitting that you don't like games to be a challenge and you are unable to adapt to obstacles the game throws at you.

>>
>>344546705
Or I play certain games for story and others for challenge. Im aying fallout new vegas on normal hardcore because the way the game does difficulty is just stupid by giving enemies more health and damage. Makes them bullet sponges which isnt difficult.

Deus Ex's Realistic difficulty does this. The one right below it, Hard difficulty, makes you do 0.5x damage to enemies while they do 2x to you, but Realistic makes you do 2x damage to them as well.

The part with demon soldiers or whatever? I don't remember any other parts in Uncharted 3 that can be called difficult. I had troubles with them too, but they are easy to get rid of with explosives. If you really aren't having fun, turn down the difficulty. Though it's not really the last level.

Oh it's not hard, just tedious. I'm sick of playing it and don't want the chance of dying. Basically the problem with UC3 is that a stray grenade or some shit can undo like ten minutes of a boring gunfight.

You know that one is easier thanks to Hector being able to solo the whole game? Nevermind actually using other units like Dart and Lyn to speed things up.

Nah, Awakening had terrible balance.

Even the hardest difficulty on Conquest is still doable if you got your shit together.

Except the endgame, fuck that bullshit
>>
>>344551474
Robin can't even get past the first chapter in Lunatic, much less the second. Hector never has to bother about that even in the hardest setting, it's why you put him at the end of corridors and watch the enemies commit suicide in those retarded in-house maps.

normal and hard are retardedly easy.

if you're playing Lunatic or Lunatic+ however the enemy units get massive stat buff to the point where they can one/two-shot all fo your units.

You literally need to buy DLC to grind so you can actually use your units
>>
>>344552535
But even Lunatic is easy if you use a RobinxAnybody pairing like Chrom or Tharja, you don't need the grind dlc at all. How bad are you at this game?
