| Mummelmann said: I have played STALKER, all three of the mainline games on high difficulty and with a bunch of mods such as realistic weapons and realistic encumbrance etc. Fantastic experience! My point still stands though; this is the exception to the rule, games in general still have very poor AI and difficulty is often increased by aim cheats or resource cheats, massive damage increase/decrease for enemies/heroes and unfair, cowardly script tricks (elevator scene in the first F.E.A.R is a perfect example), there really isn't much in the way of actual thinking and improvised strategy going on. |
Yeah, just wanted to make sure Stalker and ARMA get their due. Say what you will about PC gaming, those two are among the best experiences, ever. Across any platform. Stalker's AI and physics are so serious, it's one of the very, very few games you really should not start on normal difficulty. Easy on the first playthrough, anything more is almost certain death for the first aggressive thing you come across.
