>hard mode is the same, but harder

[Anonymous No.5124459]

>>5124258
At least it's something different than:
>your lifebar is shorter
>enemy lifebars are longer
>your attacks do less damage
>enemy attacks do more damage

[Anonymous No.5124543]

>>5124459
Or the worst one, "you start with less lives and less continues".

[Anonymous No.5124598]

>>5124543
>less continues being harder in anyway

Are you talking about how you can't beat games I did when I was a kid because you started life later than me?

It's an NES game.

[Anonymous No.5124959]

>nightmare mode is actually not the hardest difficulty.

[Anonymous No.5125001]

>>5124543
Though honestly, as you get better, it's not a thing. But yeah, that's a cheap way of 'artificial difficulty'...

>>5124650
Oh, FUCK that idea! Or how about, 'You can only get the full story on hard mode, not just normal'?

>easy mode just skips every other stage

>easy mode is just picking the closest and easiest to find exit doors
>hard mode is finding alternate routes and accessing harder stages

[Anonymous No.5125123]

>>5124258
Less tedious than what >>5124459 describes.

Even today many modern games take the lazy route and just beef up enemy HP/defense/offense without adjusting strategy, just making things take longer. I usually can't bear playing RPGs on hard mode because everything just takes so fucking long.

[Anonymous No.5125623]

>>5125296
I've got one better
>start with easy, normal and hard mode

[Anonymous No.5126080]

>hard mode gives you less ammo
>hard mode gives enemies more health
>hard mode gives you less money
>hard mode gives you less health
>playing stealth negates all the problems with hard mode
>playing stealth is the encouraged way to play the game anyway

[Anonymous No.5126740]

>some random area becomes almost impossible to clear due to an oversight, because the developers didn't actually play through hard mode and just turned up the numbers

[Anonymous No.5126750]

>have to unlock hard mode by beating the game on easy mode first

[Anonymous No.5127587]
