NINJACHROME'S PROFILE

Also, I hate games where you get to choose difficulty.

You are the first person I've ever heard say this, and I am really really curious why. Can you possibly try to explain your thought process in detail?

Sure, and the reason is more than one.

1) When I play a game, I want to experience the same thing that all my friends experience, and talk about how good/hard/easy the game is.

2) I feel like it is just for marketing so the game can attract more players. "So are you just in it for the story? we have super easy mode for you! Are you a hardcore player? Than here is Legendary mode!" This is why dark souls is so good but at the same time unpopular because it aims at one audience.

3) If the game has one difficulty, developers can take more time perfecting and balancing the game. The players are playing how the game is meant to be played.

4) 90% of games with multiple difficulty do with this: Increase/decrease enemy health, attack, magic, defense...etc. This is cheap and it just shows lack of effort that was put into the game.

5) The Story. Lets say you play in super easy mode. It takes 20 bullets to kill you but you only need to shoot your enemy twice before he dies. Wait...what? I thought I was human...and the guy that I just shot is human too...isnt he? It screws up the story and hurts realism.

6) Games where you can change difficulty during the game. I hate this more than bad mapping. Example skyrim. At the end of the dungeon but I cant kill the bandit chief..."okay I'm just gonna go back outside and grind for two hours, then Il kill this chief" uh no. I'm just going to change the difficulty because the option is there. You can argue this is stupid because I can just not change the difficulty...but for me the option is there and I'm gonna use it.

Also a bit off topic but this is the same with fast travel. I hate fast travel. I prefer the only way to fast travel is with the carriage, and can only go two cities, and from cities you to where ever you want. But do you know what? even though I hate fast travel I still do it because it is convenient and the option is there.

Im sure there are more reason but I wrote enough.
