>>740946943Got some examples? I remember Alien Isolation making your motion tracker unreliable and faulty on nightmare mode
FF7 Remakes did this. Items are disabled.
>>740946943>hard mode ADDS gameplay mechanics>the game has barely any depth without the extra mechanics but the dev warns new players not to play it for some reason

>hard mode makes entire weapons useless
>>740947156Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn removes the ability to see enemy ranges and the weapon triangle on its hardest difficulty. Two pretty silly choices since enemy ranges is just a convenience thing that you usually end up having to count manually anyway and the weapon triangle doesn't necessarily make the game harder at all and just removes that flavor for basically no reason.
>hardest mode makes the game easier
>Hardest difficulty is the best way to play the game>Except that bosses become bullet spongesSome get so close but can't help themselves
>>740947156hotline miami 2 removes the ability to lock-on to enemiesso gay
>>740947649It only falls off in CE because of the slow projectiles. Can still instant-kill black elites through their shields though.

>there is no hard mode>check the dev's twitter profile>pronouns
>>740950928>There's a 'story' difficulty setting
>>740947156Bayonetta 1 removes Witch Time on the highest difficulty. That's why it's the best in the series.
