You’re not the target market for FF16 then.

For me it’s pretty much any FPS in solo mode. I don’t enjoy the rage inducing behaviour of the NPCs that have perfect aim and can one-shot me from across the map… or that overwhelm me in a flood of mobs that double or triple the amount of ammo I can find. God mode all the way so I can enjoy the storyline and map design. I’ve played HL2 start to finish about 10 times… on god mode and loved it. If I play it standard mode… I will NEVER finish it. I don’t have the time or the twitchyness left in my reactions (I’m old) to dedicate to mastering the millisecond response times.

I did the same with Black Mesa. It’s a stunning re-imagination of the HL story. There’s ZERO chance I’d have played it to the end without “help”.

That said, I play other games in much harder modes… Civilization… Batteries not Included… Kill All Humans… and so on are played in at least “normal” mode.

MMORPGs… played as intended. No need for easy modes.

So I guess it depends a LOT on the game?

Most of the people I know have already bailed out. I deleted 13 years of comments and my Reddit account. Zero intentions of returning even if they do backtrack.
