crafting an enjoyable but difficult experience takes considerable skill to execute well. creating just a hard game (what most people would describe as “tedious”) is easy. Cheating AI, handicaps, and reducing the player’s avatar power by nerfing their various stats are all easy ways to increase difficulty but not very fun ways.
funner ways are more like
>adds in mutators that force you to adjust your strategy
>enemy AI becomes more aggressive or situationally aware
>enemy AI more effectively hides, flanks, or reacts to/investigates your presence

Classic Doom handled difficulty really well imo.
Except for the designated baby difficulty (and the borderline-joke-tier Nightmare!) all that difficulty affects is the number of monsters on a level.

I don't think hard games exist, but there is a way to play easy games in a manner that makes them hard.
eg. currently playing xcom 2 with only rookies. shit would be a breeze normally, but the things that you can just ignore in normal play become super punishing.

Stop tainting Uni with your posts, faggot

Anything where you can di in 1-2 hits and the boss takes like 5 minutes to kill is absolute fucking shit

All games are artificial difficulty

Play Darktide.

Game without difficulty setting that is difficult is not the same as hard difficulty setting that alters the game in a punitive manner

no, you are just naturally bad at games

kill yourself cris

if youre wondering what this thread is about, cris wants to remove "combat" from his "game" so he can get it "done" faster, and has been spending the last 3 days trying to justify it to himself

fuck off cris
