Rare comments on difficulty http://flyingomelettespalace.yuku.com/topic/6618/t/Rare-comments-on-difficulty.html Kameo was REALLY easy, surprisingly so. The game's only hard part is the final boss battle. How come it's so easy? Doesn't making a game this easy deflate its value a bit, especially its replay value? Or was this game targeted as a younger kids game, which is why it was so easy? George Andreas:"> Yeah, together with Deep Blue's controls, that seemed to be another point of contention. Again, what was easy for one person wasn't necessarily... ]]> en-us Copyright 2006, Yuku feeds@yuku.com (FeedMaster) webmaster@yuku.com (WebMaster) Sat, 04 Mar 2006 22:47:10 GMT Mon, 03 Apr 2006 12:12:21 GMT Yuku Feeds 1.0 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 60 Yuku http://static.yuku.com//feed/bypass/images/button-yuku.png http://flyingomelettespalace.yuku.com/topic/6618/t/Rare-comments-on-difficulty.html Yuku - free hosted forums and profiles 88 31 {pics-1.1 "http://www.icra.org/ratingsv02.html" l gen true for "http://yuku.com" r (nz 1 vz 1 lz 1 oz 1 cz 1 ) "http://www.rsac.org/ratingsv01.html" l gen true for "http://yuku.com" r (n 0 s 0 v 0 l 0 )) Search Search Domain q http://yuku.com/search/direct/ <![CDATA[ Re: Rare comments on difficulty ]]> http://flyingomelettespalace.yuku.com/reply/81450/t/Rare-comments-on-difficulty.html#reply-81450

Maybe another way to put it is, when someone complains about a game being too hard, it's seen as a serious complaint. I mean, if the game is too hard, a player will swear at it, might toss the controller, might not even finish the game!!

But if I'd complain about a game being too easy, it's not seen as a serious complaint. It's something I should be able to overlook somehow.

We spent months and months balancing the difficulty curve so most, if not all people could play through the whole game.


My guess is that they probably shouldn't have bothered to spend that much time on it and not worry about it. I get the feeling the game would have sold the same either way.

Almost all of my favorite games (of the modern ones, at least) alienate a certain crowd. Most consumer products alienate somebody--why not videogames?


Yeah. But to bring it back to a point I hinted at in my previous post, most often the person who will be alienated by games will be those that actually do want a challenge.

Next thing you know, there is a re-release of the game with an easier difficulty level (Ninja Gaiden Black, DMC 3, special edition...Let's not forget MDK 2 Armageddon for the PS2).

I don't know how I feel about this.

One way that the game is especially easy, almost annoyingly so, is in terms of figuring out what to do next. The game barely even gives you a chance to look around before trying to give the answer away. It seems like if you take more than 20 seconds to move on, you hear the voice over saying stuff like, "You know, I'm here to help at any time".

Adding a "hard" mode that has the same level design, but now the enemies take more hits or something, would be lame.
