Currently playing Alan Wake II on “story” difficulty and am once again profoundly humbled by what “easy and non-challenging” combat means by dying to bosses multiple times 😅😬
Control had an immortality setting and I enjoyed that profoundly.
[not looking for an advice, just roasting myself]
I’ve felt this whilst playing Dragon Age 2. If your party is wiped out it suggests changing the difficulty and I’m like bestie it doesn’t go lower??? I’m only here for the plot and the romance hahaha let me liveeee
lol me first time playing The Witcher 3.
I’ve always done that. Don’t feel ashamed, OP. Play how you want to play!
I would turn godmode on while playing Wolfenstein 3D so I didn’t have to kill any dogs. I’d finish each level with an army of dogs biting my butt. Definitely enjoyed the game more that way! 💕
I HATE that so many games have achievements based on beating the game in Death Mode or whatever. It makes the completionist in me hurt. I’m great at balanced mode but when I turn to the next mode up it’s like… I can do it, but it becomes an unenjoyable slog.
The thing that FINALLY got me to stop playing BG3 was trying it in Tactician mode. It made it so tedious lol
me playing gbf relink and repeatedly dying to an early boss
Don’t feel bad. I died multiple times trying to help my little brother with the children’s game because I couldn’t make a single jump. He ended up taking my controller and jumping me across
I love easy/story modes haha and I wish Alan Wake 2 had some cheats too, I loved the options Control had.
I don’t like game being hard or challenging when I’m playing a game for story, it isn’t the 1st time I find the gameplay being distracting when I’m supposed to enjoy the story 😖
(And there’s Ori and the Blind Forest, everyone said the story is very touching while I’m suffering from precision platforming over and over 🫣 , now the story feels like something trivial idk how to explain)
I suck at story modes. I always get stuck in Zelda games lol. Which is why I mostly play life stimulators
I love playing games like Dark Souls and Elden Ring and I’m pretty decent at them as well. But then I go and play a different game like the Witcher 3 and get my ass kicked, even on the lower difficulties 🫣
it’s me in any fromsoft game
omg me <3
I’m currently playing Nine Sols and switched from Standard mode down to Story mode.
Thankfully, the story mode has difficulty sliders for damage output and damage taken, so you can still make an actual story mode. I’m sticking with the default settings for now, but this is still as challenging as my first play throughs of Deaths Door, Hollow Knight and Dark Souls.
Whoever balanced that game and named the difficulty modes must be an out of touch god gamer.
