The highest difficulty...

Dead space's hard mode... I don't know whether it was spot on or not. It wasn't frustrating, but the constant need for ammo and health packs actually made me fear the space zombies. I then learned that horror games that are actually scary aren't fun.
For action or roleplaying games, I usually put it on easy (or occasionally medium) and enjoy the game's story and whatnot. I generally use the hardest difficulty for horror games (and most recently the Marine campaign on AvP) simply to help the atmosphere of 'Oh fuck oh God (Oh man, oh God, oh man, OH GOD OH MAN)'. Makes for a much more entertaining and immersive experience.
Cod WAW got veteran completely wrong. All the enemies had about 3 grenades each that they would all chuck at once. SO ANNOYING
Fire Emblem gets it right.
On another note, IF you finish Ninja Gaiden on Xbox....you unlock hard mode? Whaaaaa? Wasn't it hard enough?

But this again proves my point. You mentioned in your earlier post blocking alot and just chipping away a little bit of health every now and then. That's just not fun for me. If it was a game based on reversals and you had to guard actively to reveal the enemies weakpoint and strike at the right moment I would find that entertaining. But if it's just a pattern to follow over and over, where's the fun in that?keillord said:
I feel Bioshock 2's 'Hard' setting was far too forgiving.
I was quiet disappointed acctually - I wanted a challenge!
During Lamb's final assult, all I did was set some traps, summon 2 elite bots (security command 3) and Elenor and then hide with the Natural Camo tonic. I didn't take a fleck of damage during what is effectively the final boss fight.

Almost no game has a fair hardest difficulty.
Those tend to come with very cheap instant deaths etc.
So I can't really remember one.
In the olden days games had just 1 setting and it was generally more fair.
You still needed tons of practice and stamina, but almost never as broken as some current titles feel.

I have to agree with you, a lot of games like devil may cry and godhand on hard do not require any extra skill only patience. I love JRPGs that have hard mode, because what they do is make the opponents hp higher and make them faster. Those games require stratagie because there is no dodge or block, only making every move count. I think the reason why I started playing in hard was because I was annoyed at my friends always playing on super easy.HandfulofWolf said:
Original Devil May Cry 3
Dante Must Die Difficulty. So many hours of screaming at the T.V
The game alone was hard since the Japenese Hard difficulty was American Normal
Now imagine how hard that was!

Fallout 3 got it wrong. The hardest difficulty isnt hard just takes more time. But games that got it right? ermm.......... would anyone else agree with the bots on Unreal tournament 3 on god-like. Makes you feel so proud after an hour of fighting to see your kill to death at 1 for 1.
