i always go easy-peasy for the first playthrough. it helps me get the story and figure out game-killing combos for the later playthroughs. idiots who are "always harcore. all the time" forget that playing games is meant to be enjoyable before anything else.

I watch LPs as a form of consumer research before I buy a game.

Svata just tell the dick to fuck right off. Who is he to tell you what's fucking productive or not. Plus I imagine he does something not so productive on his downtime so who is he to tell you what the fuck to do.

Er, his main hobby is selling guns/making ammo (for people who want custom amounts of powder in the cartridge and such).

That doesn't sound that productive.

Games that let you decrease the difficulty.

I want to be hardcore but my games won't let me.

In his mind making money = productive.

Well tell him that yes, you can make money doing nerdy shit since Pewdiepie is a fucking millionaire and it's just from doing Let's Plays.

I hear you can make a lot of money by cornering the market on pyrimethamine and inflating its price to $750/pill. Surely these rent-seekers are the paragons of productivity.

Re LPers: Some of them are legit hilarious and entertaining.  Like well beyond the game they're playing.

Ironbite-and some of them actually teach you some skills you can use in the game.

I'll confess that I've grown rather fond of a couple LPers because they're good people who bring a great deal of positivity into their videos. It really does make for a better day.

I'd just like to say I passionalty despise the Reddit Default base.

They're a bunch fucking racist, sexist, transphobic twits who think of themselves a liberals because they smoke pot and think Bernie Sanders is neat.

Yeah, sorry for the venting. Just saw another thread with a bunch of upvoted transphobia.

People complaining about games having really easy difficulty settings.  Not everybody is as hardcore as you, asshole.

i always go easy-peasy for the first playthrough. it helps me get the story and figure out game-killing combos for the later playthroughs. idiots who are "always hardcore. all the time" forget that playing games is meant to be enjoyable before anything else.

For me, it depends on how easy "easy mode" is.  If it's "not too bad, but there are still minor challenges," then I love easy mode.  If it's expressly designed for small children who haven't developed the motor skills or strategic ability I have, then I'm going to get bored with it.

This is the only issue I have with Child of Light, in fact.  There's "Casual," which Ubisoft has expressly said is for the kids, and "Expert," which is punishingly hard.  No in-between, so I'm basically doing a lot of level-grinding and oculus-hunting.  (I also got the Golem DLC, since having an extra PC to choose from is always nice.)

I love absolutely everything else about the game: the characters, the different abilities those characters have, the artwork, the cute rhyming text, the system for blending oculi, the combat timer, the way "random" encounters are set up.  But the last spider in Magna's heart is super fucking hard for me, and since there's no other difficulty between "Super HARDCORE" and "Literally made for kindergarteners," I'd feel like a wimp switching difficulty in-game.  (And yes, you can do that.)

(For the record: All of my characters are at level 28-30 except the Golem.  I bought his DLC specifically because of that damn spider, so he's only at level 17 thus far.)

Indeed. In the Persona franchise there's easy, which is too easy, really, normal, which is most game's hard, hard, which is, well, it's an Atlus franchise. And then there's "very hard", which is hard, with the added difficulty of only getting half as much xp and cash from fights.
