Kek wut. I thought you would post even someone bad a those games can handle that one.
Game gets a ton easier as you progress too actually. Most games get harder but KiD becomes retard easy when you have upgrades. Very Hard becomes easier than Normal the first time you went through.
lol there are no games that are too hard on their hardest difficulty, at worst you might get a bunch of shitty bullet sponges that bore you out but no game, past or present, has ever been truly challenging
Left 4 Dead 2.
Advanced is piss easy but Hard rain and some others on expert were brutal. (especially because of faggots who give up after one restart)
>>341925176
I think people that say this don't know the perspective of someone who hasn't played a lot of character action, I can play games like dark souls with my eyes closed at this point, but the sheer damage enemies do and how fast they attack fucks me up even in an easy game like killer is dead. they also seem to have way too much HP at high difficulty
>>341924887
RTS games have always had bad difficulty, harder settings just give chewt codes to the ai seen as they cant actually make it smarter.

Yeah, I'm not 100% sure, but I think even normal difficulty did this. But, yeah, on hard their resource advantage is ridiculous.
Actually, I kind of wish that DoW had a fixed order of battle you'd pick before matches to form a reserve pool - kind of like tabletop W40K.
>>341929059
depends on your play style really.
Id say easy is generally very easy.
Normal mode you will die a fair amount of times, 15-20 would be a good campaign number given you are well rehearsed in FPS's and go through all of the games content.
Nightmare is probably a solid 50-70+ deaths per campaign.
Ultra nightmare means you cant die once. same difficulty as nightmare
Its a great game. Would recommend. You feel very good about difficult fights after playing through them and you don't die enough to get discouraged.

It just annoys me how much the ai has to cheat on higher difficulties in strategy game. I just want to play against skynet already.
Is that too much to ask?
Total war's pretty wonky with campaign difficulty
On normal you rarely get worthwhile fights but on hard the ai rushes you down with multiple stacks
>>341930648
Problem is making an actually competent AI would be even harder than if they cheat, you kind of have to intentionally make them retarded on some level for humans to be able to compete. Otherwise they'll just be outplaying you at every turn.
For an non-RTS example, the Joy enemies in Bayonetta 1 originally had Bayo's full moveset at their disposal, and they were apparently fucking impossible to fight.

well I fucked those spoiler tags up
Literally like every RTS, either skirmish or campaign. In skirmish and outside of specific scripted encounters in most campaigns, normal or hard difficulty tends to just throw shitty waves of 10-20 units at you that aren't nearly enough to accomplish anything. Harder difficulties and the computer's cheating and throws a nearly max supply blob at you every 5 minutes or some shit

I've always wondered if you could just construct an AI by making the best AI possible and then giving lower difficulty AIs probabilities of making less optimal moves given each decision. Is that already how it's done?

I played on Ultra-violence my first time and it was pretty straight forward, a part from a few battles later on in the game. Boss fights are easy as shit, but they weren't that hard in the original Doom either I suppose.

Honestly it's been too long for me to remember but I clearly recall it be laughably easy on Very Hard mode. It was much more challenging on normal at first. There might be an item you get for beating on normal that destroys or something. I played it on release and haven't touched it since.

Hard mode is literally impossible. Before you even get the option to customize your ships you get this fucking impossible pirate mission where of you dont go in kamikazing your ships you will always lose.
Normal on the other hand is a cakewalk, youll never lose a ship the whole game and never even really have a challenge.
>>341934249
I was more referring to the waste of time part, I recall features being disabled on the hardest difficulty such as showing the attack range. You would have to do that part manually which took more pointless amounts of time.

Normal was stupidly easy where you'd have to try really hard to possibly fuck anything up, while hard was insane bullshit where you'd need to savescum every battle just to make it through a stage. The gap between the difficulties was absurd.
Bayonetta 2. The game is so easy compared to the first one up until final climax. Then on final climax, enemies must have AI to cause them to automatically dodge wicked weaves as even in which time they wouldn't get hit by them.
