>Higher difficulty turns enemies into damage sponges
Robert Powell
difficulty settings are for games that lack a cohesive vision.
Daniel Ward
>The "higher difficulty" is actually a remix
This is actually good design. See: DMC

Got ya ;)
Matthew Rodriguez
>game switches to easier difficulties without telling you to make you feel good
Let me do this shitt my way trannydevs.

Fuck this absolute shit, the harder the game the worse this is
Jace Phillips

>Devs want me to believe they went through the game and balanced all encounters not once, not twice but 3 or even 5 times
Josiah Wilson
Final fantasy and most of JRPG in general.
I wish they got rid of status effects because only exists to hinders you.
Noah Collins

Juan Lewis
why play video games if you don't enjoy the act of doing it for it's own sake?
Easton James
> beating the game on higher difficulty unlocks lower difficulty rewards as well
Jackson Gomez
especially if that "harder difficulty" is just the enemy takes more hits to die.
Gabriel Flores
KH secret endings don't worth all the hassle they take to unlock most of the time Yozora, another side another story and Blank points are exceptions tho.
Julian Parker
dark souls?
the movesets themselves are what gives you the advantage when playing pvp if you can use them correctly. damage isn't everything in the game.
Christian Anderson

Austin Brooks
Yeah. Straightswords were a mistake.
Thomas Turner
>poison and status effects don't work on bosses making those specific builds only viable in pvp because the skills themselves are expensive to use on common mobs
Ethan Carter
Any games beside Valkyrie Profile?
Gabriel Cook
I agree with most of this but how is input buffering bad game design? Without input buffering some combos in fighting games (especially Tekken 7) would be borderline impossible. Especially in high ranks it would be nearly impossible to hit optimal combos all the time if input buffering wasnt a thing.

Caleb Johnson
What could they possibly give you after 100% completion anyway?
