Message: [QUOTE="sysuah, post: 62382, member: 131533"] Lowering difficulty doesn't make sense to me because it defeats the purpose of game design completely, much like how gaming became less about stealing your quarters and a couple of hours out of your afternoon into becoming an entire replacement job Early arcade titles receiving ports to home consoles should somewhat retain its arcadey difficulty because there's this golden ratio of a game being easy to pick up and hard to master. It's unfortunate that so many gamers have essentially been conditioned into thinking a game having roadblocks, stress or even a moment of frustration or confusion is an error on the developer's part. But at the same time many developers have also started to think this way, including indie developers as well. "low timers, not enough continues, too many enemies" that's the point. That's a factor of the game that you're meant to deal with as apart of the experience. Even generally easy to deal with "timers" like the heat system in Lost Planet, The timers in Dead Rising, Majora's Mask or even Crazy Taxi can be stressful, the school calendar of Persona 3-4-5. that's the point, it helps creating unique stories and experiences for each player to make it more personal rather than everyone just doing everything at a leisurely pace. Limiting how much a player can do creates more interesting choices and pressure that in the end makes a much more compelling experience at times, rather than just moseying around[ATTACH type="full" size="400x400"]20926[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
