Anyway, now Heroic is what I play Halo on, but I still consider Legendary a little more frustrating than fun. If I ever get so good at Halo that Legendary becomes a walk in the park I won't blame the devs for making the games too easy. I'll just know that I've gotten so good that I've outgrown standard and advanced difficulty. Let me put it this way. Most people consider Pac-Man a very challenging game. Very few people have ever even seen it's kill screen. Even fewer have been able to master Pac-Man and play a perfect game. As a quarter munching arcade game it makes sense to make a game so difficult almost nobody will finish it. But home gaming isn't about sucking up quarters. It's about entertaining people. If COD or Halo were so hard that nobody could get past the third level without dedicating hours of training a day people would just quit. Only people with dedication like Steve Wiebe and Billy Mitchell would ever see the end of them. People looking for entertainment aren't looking for frustration. Devs have to makes games for the middle ground. We are lucky they give us the option for harder difficulties. I have no idea why Assassin's Creed doesn't give difficult options. That is a failure on their part. But most games have very hard difficulty settings that challenge most advanced players. If you really are unchallenged by the hardest settings on games like COD and Halo then maybe you are just too good for your own good. Devs don't make games for the best of the best of the best. They makes games for regular people and try to accommodate for those who want it a little easier or harder. You maybe just be in the minority outlier group of extreme advanced players that can't be served by regular games. |
im pretty sure if i played halo on the settings you are playing it on ill get my ass kicked lol. because from what i see that you LOVE halo and you play it a lot, yet you still have diffeculty to master. and thats what i really want, for games to be challanging enough when i first play it but no way frustrating and thats what i really want. i hate it when a game is frustrating so its not really want i want, i just dont want things to be a walk in a park. i want the normal mode to actually be normal, and hard more to actually be hard, you know?
@bolded- haha im flattered but that is in no way true, not even close 
im generally good at shooters but not those extreme advanced players
