Message: [QUOTE="Nidstang, post: 141733, member: 12441"] I generally prefer hard games, and pretty much always play games on the hardest difficulties (unless the hardest is some bullshit challenge troll difficulty, then I play on the second hardest). I truly believe to get the most out of a game, and experience it's mechanics to it's fullest, and see how all the systems really work together, you need to play games on their hardest difficulties. Though there are some games I can't get the hang for/beat no matter how much I tried. Celeste, Ninja Gaiden Black, Sekiro... [automerge]1742514117[/automerge] I got attacked on Twitter hardcore for it, but I kind of hate that its going to have custom difficulty sliders. Sure, DOOM has always had difficulty options, but it's always been a defined, hand crafted, specific experience that expected players to learn some function of game mechanics to overcome. Investing in DOOM was rewarding, as you learned new strategies, secret areas, map traversal, and ammo conservation techniques. And it came to a peak with DOOM Eternal being the apex of games that encouraged player accountability, and engaging with it's systems to overcome a predefined challenge... to throw that away in The Dark Ages for player choice seems antithetical to what DOOM is to me. There will be zero incentive to learn The Dark Ages mechanics with the difficulty slider. Why bother learning enemy attack patterns, or parry windows if you can adjust it on the fly? It hurts the community aspect as well. There is no need to discuss strategies, or mechanics break downs if everyone is playing their own custom version of the game from start. [/QUOTE]
