Where did the myth that Master difficulty was easier come from? playing on master difficulty in SOC at east not only makes you more vulnerable, but also makes enemies more spongy, in spite of the myth ive seen constantly that master makes enemies less spongy this myth seems extremely pervasive, to the point where it is still to this day treated as canon in most communities, it seems
>>731024450>Where did the myth that Master difficulty was easier come from?the english speaking community of stalkergranted, while 90% of it is drooling fucking lol2casul4u? retards from the souls series, they never knew that time_to_aim existed as an actual mechanic in the game, and thus they confirmation bias'd themselves into thinking the slow and methodical gameplay master difficulty forced on everyone was the reason their bullets did magically more damage, thus making the game easier>makes enemies more spongywrong>it is still to this day treated as canon in most communities, it seemsmentally ill retards and ESLs
I should give this game another go I guess I DID beat it on master once, but...there was a few points that made me really hate it
>>731024450>Where did the myth that Master difficulty was easier come from?Nowhere. That's not what anyone has claimed.If anything, (You) misunderstood the notion of EVERYONE, including the player, dying FASTER on Master mode.>>731025940>there was a few points that made me really hate itWhat would that be?And did you get the true ending, or one of the Wish granter ones?
>>731024450One guy said bullets do more damage and everyone parroted it because they don't actually play this dogshit, they just like talking about stalker memes
>>731027237So you don't know how to read? The spreadsheet shows that's not true
>>731027442>So you don't know how to read?Nigga I saw that spreadsheet already 15 years ago. Hell, I think I have the actual FILE still saved, unlike (You) who keeps posting iPhone screencaps.I simply replied to your rhetoric question with a logical assumption, based on the average STALKAN' conversation /vee/ has had for the past 9 years.The player and NPCs are practically just as vulnerable, except the AI characters have pathetically low hit-probability % even on Master. However, the whole idea of "OMG I'm playing on TEH HARDCORE MOODO!!" makes people reconsider their approach, play less like Call Of Halo, and go for the head - which early on WILL greatly help when you are equipped with nothing but a cloth around your neck + a rusty pocket pistol with a reach of mere 30 meters, tops.
>>731027727>incoherent ESLEnemies don't die any faster on master mode, no outbound damage value is increased on master
>>731027807I write superior English than (You), brown phonefag.Everything you said is technically correct, but the IDEA the fanbase lives by is still strong, and has logical roots. And that idea (You) misinterpreted.The STALKER's master mode myth is so strong, that it directly inspired Metro 2033's Ranger Hardcore mod. Which the REDUX versions removed, to appeal to the consolekids.
>>731028242>nonsequiterNot helping your case
>>731024450>Where did the myth that Master difficulty was easier come from?Wut? People argued that master is the best way to play it since NPCs are more accurate and less bullet spongy. It is true? Idk but I still only played the game on the master,
>>731028834>less bullet spongeyThat is not true.
