Depends on when I hit that difficulty spike and how changing the difficulty works. If I can change the difficulty at any time and not lose progress, I’ll do it and not think twice.
I was playing the evil within 1. I was at the end of the game right before the final boss. The game up to that point was balanced on hard. It gave a good survival horror experience. Every boss fight or mini boss felt reasonable.
At the end of the game, they suddenly throw you into an arena with a ton of enemy waves that wouldn’t drop enough ammo to deal with them all. Looking it up online, the recomendation was to save ammo the whole game specifically for this fight. But nowhere prior did i feel like that was needed
Suddenly, the game went from being fun to frustrating. I didn’t wana have to replay the level so at that point I hung up the towel and moved on.
Great game otherwise! Might replay it on normal one day lol
I stopped playing Remnant 2 because it wouldn't let me change the difficulty. Played on the "normal" difficulty, whatever it was called, flew through the game with no problems, got to the final boss, and just died over and over and over again. The spike between everything else in that game and the 2nd stage of the last boss was unreal. Went to change the difficulty and it said lowering the difficulty will reset the campaign progress. Quit at that point, but I really would've rather been able to lower the difficulty.
The scaling was broken for two people until the update for the mod today. Now it scales properly for two people instead of giving you 3 person scaling.
Dead Island 2 is free on Epic currently, and probably more fun than Borderlands 4; BL 3 wasn’t written well, and i assume the same for BL 4. A shame, BL2 is one of my most played FPS
Discs have just been a physical license key for a long time now. It's kind of wasteful to even ship discs and the plastic cases anymore, some kind of little card with a chip on would suffice.
That’s what they’re doing with Switch games now and people are still getting their panties in a twist.
Personally I’ve long since switched to all digital downloads. Even if it eventually becomes inaccessible, either I don’t plan on playing it more, or I’ll pirate and emulate it.
What most people get irked about is loss of ownership, which can be a separate topic with careful management. For instance, if you buy an ItchIO game, there’s no DRM and you can copy it anywhere - I imagine many would be fine with digital downloads if everywhere used that system, but on the corporate side they’d likely be grumbling about piracy.
