One of the most creative ways I've seen a game do difficulty settings is Perfect Dark on the N64. Upping the difficulty didn't just boost enemy health and damage--it did to a degree, but it wasn't that noticeable and headshotting enemies still instakilled them. But what it did was cause the level itself to change in a variety of ways. Every level had at least one new mission objective added per level of difficulty. And in addition to that, depending on the level, raising the difficulty could do things like add new enemy spawns, add new puzzles, lock doors that were previously open, add new areas to explore, place new obstacles, add new scripted events, change the player's spawn point, and in the case of the Cetan Ship level change the map entirely. Sometimes it would even make it so the things you did in previous levels affected the current level. Increasing the difficulty setting in Perfect Dark was almost like playing a whole new game.
@lamceddo22752 жыл бұрын
Thief 2 is also great in that regard. Higher difficulties not only reduce the tools you have at your disposal to do a mission, it also adds objectives that will change your experience of a level altogether.

That's pretty interesting. Opening new sections of the level could encourage me more to play on higher difficulties instead of just increasing enemy health and damage. Because in instances like that I find the fights tend to get dragged for too long. I haven't played that game but it sounds interesting.
@cryonim2 жыл бұрын
@@enlightenmentdoesntcomeeas5337 What's more interesting is, if you are a small dev or studio then instead of releasing a DLC or a sequel, you can just release a new difficulty for the game. It doesn't take as much effort, practically changes the entire game so people can do NG and not feel like doing the same thing, and can keep the game fresh. Given, the game is already at a stable and mostly positive review state.

4:24 back then when developing games it was hard to code the game to start at a specific mission or part of the game which is why a lot of games just sent you back to the beginning despite what stage you were on. This is actually why cheat codes were invented, so the developers can just skip past levels super fast and then untoggle once they got to the stage they wanted. Obviously we don’t need cheat codes anymore because of advanced coding now but I think it’s an interesting history lesson for gaming :)
@festivebear99462 жыл бұрын
Really interesting to think that cheat codes are just debugging tools left over. I always felt like I had some divine underground knowledge whenever I found one. Like I was changing the game/hacking it. It wasn't until I started to think how I could implement certain cheats that I was told that the cheats are just debugging tools left in by the developers.

They've got that good ol' Dunkey humor all the way through, and they leave something for future game designers to think about. I'd definitely have to say both the challenge and artistry of difficult games makes them exciting, as well as how compelling the gameplay is. One immediate example that excels in all of these attributes is Super Monkey Ball; it's tough to master, its character and scenery style is memorable, and it's so unique in its demand for precise analog movements just to roll a monkey in a ball to the goal strip.

That's a mere illusion. You're not necessarily "mastering" a game so much as "dragging you dick and balls across a mile of gravel and broken glass." Yeah. You'll get there, but you won't necessarily enjoy it except by contrast of comparison. It's like taking a huge shit after being constipated for a week. It's "relief" you're probably feeling. Not enjoyment.

1:14 When I was a kid I used a Game Genie to give myself god mode so I could see past the first couple levels of Contra for the NES. When I was using cheats the game only took around 20 minutes to complete, so making the game without cheats super difficult effectively extends the life of the game, which is exactly Dunkey's point. The problem was is I'm not that patient or determined, I just wanted to see everything the game had to offer.

@MrBrimstone5 жыл бұрын
its slightly different than arcade machines. back when you physically couldn't fit much onto hardware, the best way to make an engaging experience was to make a fast paced, addictive, and challenging game. and people loved them because of it. (you also did not have to pay $25 to go into the arcade if i do remember correctly) Now, the games are specifically designed to be so *edit: tedious* and manipulative to the point where you do not want to finish them without paying more money. See the difference? one is a result of limitation, while the other is a result of exploitation of the medium and customers. They 100% could be making amazing experiences people want to pay to be able to experience. But their greed and bad business philosophies lead to them making yearly cash-grabs using bland games and manipulative practices to suck as much money out of the industry as possible.

The solution to checkpoints is to have skips and shortcuts located in levels that are either unlocked after you've encountered the end of level boss the first time, or just make a really difficult to execute level skip that rewards the player that has taken the time to figure it out. Megaman X series is a perfect example.

Spyro 3 levels almost always give you a shortcut to the start of the level after you beat them, it makes backtracking much easier, turning the level into some kind of "circle".
@Herosoyyo25 жыл бұрын
That's a great way to do checkpoints for various reasons, but it doesn't really address what he's talking about, which is how much do you punish a loss state. You're always gonna have to redo something after you lose, shortcuts or not. You could put shortcuts that make a loss trivial, or shortcuts in spite of which losing and trying again is way too bothersome.
@megamixa5 жыл бұрын
The first dark souls was like that. If you spent the extra 5 minutes exploring and found the short cut, it would save you a lot of headache if you died. Game was still equally as hard, but man was it nice to have a short cut past at least 1/10th of the bull shit. And the bonfire spacing in the first one was perfect. It wasn't too close, and it wasn't too far. Also, not being able to teleport between them until like 1/2 way into the game was nice. Dark souls was done right. Parts of it was just outright unfair, however, it was evenly difficult throughout the game. It didn't gradually get easier, nor did it just suddenly become impossible out of nowhere. It was just difficult at all points. This is all on your first 1-2 play through. It becomes a lot easier after that, as it should. But even on your 3-4 play through, you still die if you aren't careful.
@nybxcrotona5 жыл бұрын
Personally, I think your answer, while not bad, only works for certain types of games; games of the platforming kind I think apply more to what you mentioned. However, longer "levels" like in RPGs (I'd say Bloodbourne and the Dark Souls series are good examples), you need more mid-level checkpoints to be able to push through an area, and not be as punishing for less skilled players.

(5:40) Although I agree with the statement, you could make that point for any game. All 2D Mario games consist of running and jumping, with some minor things added in for a few of them (such as different power-ups, game mechanics, etc), but nothing ground breaking.
