In Star Fox 64, the difficulty of the game is completely determined by how well you perform right from the beginning. If you're a kid who's never played it before, there's no way you're gonna save Falco in time AND be smart enough to fly through all the arches successfully. But, if you do, the game says "Hey, you think you're hot stuff? Try out this level instead where there's hundreds of enemies." And if you're still a billy badass and kill 100 of them before the level is over, you get to take the big boy path. The whole experience is determined by your skill and if you fuck up, it sends you back to the easier path as if they're saying "Maybe you're not ready for this level yet". I love it!

[@nelraee1296]

underrated comment

[@thesnazzmaster]

resident evil 4 does a bit of a similar thing, where the game's difficulty scales based how you're doing. If you're stuck at one batch of enemies, you might eventually see a few less the next time. Best of all, they kept this secret so players didn't know the game was essentially cheating for them.

[@hafizo_kurosaki]

[@John-lr3ix]

@@thesnazzmaster i think dynamic difficulties like that are a tough balance. Cause I absolutely hate it when I notice it. For the most part, i think it‘s better if the difficulty once you enter a level is set, but depending on you performance the difficulty of the next one may vary. Because if you really try to beat a tough level and the you notice the game beats itself for you, it takes all the fun out of it.

[@Femaiden]

that would irritate the frig out of me if i'm trying to beat a level and the game secretly says "awww, poor baby, here, let me hold your hand" and twists a few knobs behind the curtain and just lets me win. .the thing about old school nintendo is that it was unashamedly unapologetic. it would beat you up and never ease off. that being said, "nes hard" is kind if a misnomer, because there are some really fricking hard games out there today and i went back and played some old nes games and they were fairly easy by comparison. . .

Because I want the interaction. I want to make choices. Experiences can be fun, even if you can't really lose. Going to an amusement park is fun, even though there is very little risk of dying or whatever. Also, "You can't lose" has very different thresholds for different people. What I consider a challenging but fun difficulty might be painfully easy for others, especially in action games where I have little practice. On the other hand, the puzzles I enjoy are just frustratingly complex for others. Different difficulty levels recognize that different people enjoy different things and allows them to adapt the game to their needs. It's really no different than different shoe sizes. Sure, that size 35 would be incredibly painful to wear for me and that size 48 looks comically large but that doesn't make them pointless. They just aren't for me.

This hits so hard for Uncharted 4. The hardest difficulty is straight up broken, and it takes away 90% of your options in both combat and stealth in the second half of the game. Swinging with your grapple? Shooting and sliding? Melee? Forget it, you need to figure out a solid strat (which is almost always going to be completely cover based) and stick to it completely or you will never beat it. I remember I would dedicate hours or days if I could manage it trying to beat singular levels, and either rage quitting if it didn't pan out or saving and turning off the game if it did. Then you go one difficulty lighter and you get your variety back, but the challenge disappears. Naughty Dog must've seriously never playtested the hardest difficulty.

[@dathunderman4]

That’s why difficulty modes honestly suck. I understand why they’re needed and I’m not saying the video game industry should do away with them, but I personally enjoy video games without difficulty settings. When there’s no difficulty meter, the devs are able to cater a specific experience. This works for open world games as well, like everyone talks about difficulty settings in dark souls, but no one mentions how there’s no difficulty setting in Zelda BoTW or many popular Nintendo games.

Also the difficulty spike near the end of the game (at least for me) was absolutely ridiculous. I started the game on normal, part way through I changed it to hard and then went to easy for the last 2-3 levels of the game because it was so annoying I just wanted it over with. I love an extra challenge for the end of a game to up the stakes but it just felt kinda janky and ruined the momentum for me:/

It was the only really difficult and actually frustrating part of the game for me but it just felt so satisfying to beat.

There was a good video comparing post game Hades to post 1 win Dead cells. Hades has the pact of punishment and Dead cells has the boss cell system.

Also in shovel knight, what you choose to spend your money on determines difficulty. Like you can get more health, more magic, and so the game becomes easier because of that. So there's really a lot of variety in difficulty level depending on the player.

Nioh on the other hand the entire game is a massive difficulty spike where you get 1 comboed by trash mobs and 2 hit by every boss even when with all your stats in vitality and heavy armor equipped, it’s like that the entire game 😅

[@paulodelima5705]

Elden Ring does not have difficulty spikes. You can go to areas with strong foes but you just need to level up if it is hard.

[@Hollow_Tim]

@@canontheory Never too difficult my ass. It's a great game, but you need like 5 billion HP late game to not get ohko'd by everything, some bosses are definitely unfair

[@canontheory]

@@Hollow_Tim your probably referring to mohg and malenia? Those are the only 2 I can think of that you need an absurd amount of hp to not get 1 comboed. They are optional end game bosses though so it makes sense why they are so hard.

[@Hollow_Tim]

​@@canontheory Did you not watch Dunkey's Elden Ring video? I think he showed/explained pretty well why the damage enemies do is too high (not even just bosses). I didn't mind Malenia being hard. It was more some of the main story bosses, most of all Maliketh that felt like complete BS. With Malenia even though I died more I at least felt like I kept getting better at the fight.

I really love Celeste's level of difficulty. Each level felt so hard when I did it the first time and took an hour or longer to complete, but you improve so much by completing it that when you go back to earlier levels they feel so much easier. And there's also so much endgame content that's there as an option. If you just wanna beat the main game and reach the top of the mountain, you can stop there and get a satisfying ending. If you wanna keep going they have B-sides and bonus levels that are hard as shit and unlock more content. I think it's an amazing balance of challenging players while allowing them to choose how much effort they want to put in, without any worries about not getting the "true" experience like Dunkey describes in this video.

Actually, Kirby was developed on the principle that games should appeal to both non-gamers and hardcore gamers alike. It's the reason for the inclusion of extra modes and challenges in most of the franchise's games, which really hits the sweetspot for me and many others. I've played Kirby since I was very young, and while I might not have much ground to stand on considering that my "very young" was only about a decade ago, I've definitely noticed the appeal sticking with me throughout my life. Even now I still enjoy both the challenging and easygoing segments of Kirby.

[@KPater-mf4je]

[@TheEFoy11]

My favourite thing about Mario 64 is its ridiculously high skill ceiling. Sure the controls are nowhere near as easy to grasp as later games like Sunshine and Galaxy, but when you get it right in 64, the shit you can pull off is insanely satisfying both to watch and to play. Even better is that the levels are designed in a way that almost always gives you the opportunity to mess about with the high level shit you can get away with, despite the game not expecting anywhere near that amount of skill from you.

[@LilyBlue53]

I would say the same for Sunshine, the amount of control you have in that game is ridiculous if you truly master the mechanics.

[@TheEFoy11]

GamerBlue53 JGTDT Yeah, I think Sunshine actually has the best composition of high level movement *and* polish when it comes to control, but the opportunities to really let loose with that level of movement beyond letting the FLUDD carry you everywhere are much less frequent than in 64. If they can make a 3D Mario game with compact levels like in 64, as well as the more focused platforming you get from Galaxy/3D World, but with the extra polish that Sunshine added with the controls, then I think we'd have the perfect 3D Mario.

[@Sihikal]

I 100% back you on this.

[@videogamedunkey]

Yeah, Galaxy 1 and 2 are great, but you just don't have that same level of control. Galaxy 2, 3D Land, and 3D World have you on like a 3D grid.

***** I've played pretty much all mario games and Galaxy 1 is definitely on my top 3. Maybe not the same level of control, but it's still an awesome game.

[@MrFoxInc]

Papa Dunkey, how do you feel about the concept where the game adapts to what it observes of the player? For example, when the game notices that you're struggling really hard, it drops more health items randomly in crates or wherever, but if it notices that you're just breezing through, it starts to spawn more enemies, maybe increase the chances of critical hits and all that kinda stuff. I'm sure it's a nightmare to develop a mechanic like that especially when the game is already really complex, but I personally think that this concept might be one of the best if done right!

[@rightyboywilson4911]

games like yoshis island where it makes you invincible with the gold wings or whatever, bad idea. games like dark souls 2 where enemies stop spawning after you kill them enough, good idea

[@rubbun]

Nah, the "kill them enough and they respawn" was a bad idea, nobody who had ever played DkS1 or DS before liked it, and it was more of a "can't go through this? we got you man" while the title of the game was DARK SOULS II. Just no.

[@linkno1]

I saw it more of "you've killed these guys like 10 times now. You're obviously not having difficulties with their encounter, so lets cut the crap and save some time". I mean, if you've killed them enough so they don't respawn, they're obviously not your problem, whatever is after it is your problem, and you're still going to have to kill that thing that's giving you problems a bunch of times before it stops spawning...I just fail to see how it makes the game any less difficult to stop spawning shit you're tearing through.

[@MrFoxInc]

Tao Now that you mention it, Earthbound sort of did that too, didn't it? Once you got too powerful for the enemies of any given region, they'd either run away from you instead of trying to charge you, or if you did touch them and it was obvious you would kill them with one hit, the fight didn't even initiate, it just said "YOU WON!" and you received whatever miniscule amount of EXP the fight would have gotten you. I think that's cool. It's efficient and gives the player a good sense of how strong they really are.

[@videogamedunkey]

I didn't know Dark Souls 2 did that. That's actually brilliant. Resident Evil 4 did a lot of stuff like that, it would despawn enemies or give your more/less ammo and health packs based on how good you were doing. You hardly notice it, but it's really well done.

[@FulgrimTG]

Dark Souls has perhaps the best designed approach to difficulty ever, because the player can either make it incredibly easy, or incredibly difficult for themselves without ever breaking the confines of the game world. The level of challenge can be altered drastically - entirely by actions that you take in the game, as the player character. This is something I call "Organic difficulty" - as a stab at the old "artificial difficulty" meme that used to follow DS around. Organic Difficulty, as a design concept, can trace its origins as far back as RPGs in the 1980s, where the player could reduce the challenge of the game by simply leveling up their character. Instead of using an arbitrary menu, the player can alter the difficulty to their liking by utilising the game's mechanics. Skip back to the modern day, and I don't know of any game that has quite as many mechanics that alter difficulty as Dark Souls does. It's got leveling up, upgrading gear and flasks, enchanting, consumable items, summoning, equipment that is more effective against certain foes, exploitable environment (i.e. Taurus Demon plunging attack), sequence breaking, a variety of playstyles, messages with useful tips, etc, etc. The point is, the player can make Dark Souls incredibly easy, or incredibly challenging, entirely through utilisation of game mechanics, without ever opening the options menu.

[@rudywilliams6538]

Dark souls is a trash example of a game with good difficulty.

[@bffmco]

Like in any RPG you can just grind for levels to become stronger. Rpg's have done this for decades. As much as I love dark souls, it really isn't special.

[@bryce2703]

Dark Souls is just learning the boss's moves. Then it becomes irrelevant what gear you use. It's just a big learning curve that entirely decides the difficulty. That said, I still love the game, but it's no longer difficult or fun whatsoever once you learn the game.

[@sushiSlayr]

If you check out the box art, Dunkey is referring to the original DMC3: Dante's Awakening. The game was reportedly so hard that Capcom got the memo, and re-released the game under DMC3: Special Edition, with a re-calibrated difficulty more suitable to its audience. Before Special Edition, DMC3's Normal difficulty in NA and PAL was equivalent to the Hard difficulty in JP, which led to tons of frustration, even for fans of difficult action games.

You put great discussion as well as subjective point of view and all with the great and amazing laughs of comedy I cannot wait to keep watching and thank you so much for already so much content.

[@wack-a-dude6702]

Re-watched this after watching it used by Emp in what is currently a new video. This is a comment, and it exists.

[@WWLinkMasterX]

Same.

[@jackofalltrades6129]

Was a great vid

[@BlastKast]

I am now considering to get Donkey Kong Country.

[@danrusso6962]

You won't regret it

[@cococlancey]

Fuck that game is hard. Also it is on 3DS virtual console now.

[@danrusso6962]

If you have a Wii U I strongly recommend getting Tropical Freeze. That or DK country returns 3D. That game is hard af too.

[@cococlancey]

YES! I bought Donkey Kong Country, loved it then decided to get the latest and greatest. I thought Dark Souls and BloodBorne were difficult games....

[@RiskuBusiness]

Donkey Kong Country 2 is probably one of the top 5 video games ever made.

[@ashley6772]

Pretty sure he was just bashing League this whole vid

[@ashley6772]

I made this half way through the vid and then i saw the end

[@zacharyharris7767]

ye i mean i get it he hates league now but at this point it just seems like he's beating a dead horse and its getting pretty old imo

[@tineyguy80]

that's the joke bozo. He says "what I'm trying to say with this video, is that... LEAGUE OF LEGENDS SUCKS DICK" It's a joke :O :O :O

[@ATurtleJergle]

Big time

[@zacharyharris7767]

***** he was kinda tired of the game but being banned put him over but he dealt with the problem poorly and expected special treatment

[@danielschroedinger2090]

"What actually works just isn't that fun" > shows League Absolutely. Never played a game where i felt more like having to decide wether if i want to enjoy it or be considered good at it. To consistently win at soloqueue you have to pick the same op shit and use the same safe strats over and over and over again. Mind numbing bs just to be able to say you are better at the game than some other ppl. It is fucked up.

[@winterv.4715]

So...the whole game is basically the embodiment of those guys that yell at you for choosing 23 of the 30 characters in Overwatch?

[@dantediaz8157]

I agree but let's also keep in mind that most of the times winning is the fun part I mean you can still have fun a loose but at the end you play ranks to win, if you don't want to play the meta stuff you can have a casual match where you'd pick whatever you feel like to.

[@danielschroedinger2090]

@@dantediaz8157 True. It is just that a victory feels hollow when i know i got there by consistently exploiting something the average player i would encounter is unlikely to be able to deal with. Winning at the game feels great, when you play it as "intended" and are able to make actual strategic decisions. But playing it as a team game won't allow you to carry consistently enough. Not with random teammates.

[@ashtar3876]

Yup. Most FPS's either have good weapons/characters/attachments or fun ones, most of the time it isn't both.

[@tibik.8407]

@@danielschroedinger2090 Cannot agree more, and even adding to it: 50+ minutes of back and forth cock and ball torture where your teammates get so abusive you consider quitting or just throwing the game just to escape faster, all the fun is out of the door about 20 minute ago. At this point winning is more important than anything to you beacuse you want to make up for an hour of mental torture you've been through, and if you loose, you have to realise that all the stress, time, mic-deepthroating and mindgames have gone to absolute waste. There's no worse feeling than that. Fuck you Dota 2.
