Most games have easy modes- they're great and necessary sometimes. Only a select few games go out of their way to insult you for it. Here are some examples. Subscribe for more: th-cam.com/users/gameranxTV?su...
@@rileymiller3154 "Damn bro, this Snake is such a clown. I feel bad for if we were to catch this guy, even CP would be confused. Lets just let him through."
i remember in POSTAL 2: Apocalypse Weekend if you were quicksaving too often the main character (dude) would say something like "even my grandma can finish this game with saving this much" :D
Ya, some games you just wanna check each difficulty to see what it's like. But you'll lower it with the flip of a switch, and then cannot raise it, and lose the achievement, and weren't warned. Most games do warn you fortunately that you can't raise the difficulty back again (which makes sense) but some games don't do such a good job of fully explaining what you could miss out on.
One note about Spider-Man's kid mode. It took control of web swinging away, which ironically meant that if your tried to make jumps, but not the intended way, you will preform what was supposed to get you across the path, in the direction of the destination. This is a lot of nonsense that adds up to: the game would yank you away from a spot you could've landed, and dropped you off the face of the earth.
@@RayR1990 I was a kid??? Roflmao, also after I beat kid mode I was like "yeahhhh I can play on easy now!" And it was unironically easier just due to the auto web swing being turned off.
@@RayR1990I literally got the demo of this spiderman game out of a Kellogg's frosted flake box and it only had the first two levels on it.. downloaded it onto a pc that also had kazza installed on it so I could pirate system of a down, eminem songs, and a lot of softcore porn..
@@snoookie456 They don't reveal they're bad at the hard levels. That's their way of being humiliated without making it public. Humiliation + Masochism.
In Ninja Gaiden II, there's an achievement called "Indomitable Spirit" for choosing to continue the game 100 times after dying (doesn't have to be consecutive). Definitely felt like a back-handed compliment that made me laugh! XD
Another insult to injury in Godhand is that the game adjusts difficulty in-game based on how well you can fight without taking damage/doing combos. And the only way to lower the difficulty in game is to learn a move where you apologize to the enemy for forgiveness to reduce the difficulty.
If they don't want people playing "Easy mode", they wouldn't put it in as an option. Some people don't play games to get good at them. They play simply to have fun. Some people have fun putting themselves through torture on the hardest mode. Others have fun playing on easy because it's more about chilling out and relaxing.
Yup, I play games to have fun, not bust my ass. I'll play on a difficulty higher then easy when I feel i've learned enough about the game to decide I want to challenge myself with more difficulty.
its more that they want to learn how to play it so you can try it on a proper difficulty. Its why many games lock out later levels or proper endings on game journalist mode.
@@General_Tso762 Did you not get his point? It's that fun is subjective, Idc about having skills in a virtual game which is just useless irl, I just want to enjoy myself playing the game, isn't that fun enough?
You're not a real true gamer unless you can beat every single game on ultra-high insanity difficulty, didn't you know that? this kind of gatekeeping with difficulty elitists is truly the most pathetic thing I've ever seen. And I play on hardcore or veteran modes in my games. I love a bit of a challenge, but I also want to enjoy the game. People play the games the way they want to.
9 year olds :- Real gamers play on hard mode. U pus for playin on easy. Well they got nothing else to worry about. Homework maybe. But We got life and real things to do. Thus when we play games, we play to refresh and relax.
@@yugbhardwaj9744 thats another thing with hard mode players. They always make dumb insults 4 how everyone else plays. Grow up! Let people enjoy games how they want 2!! Dying lots of times or losing a bunch simply isnt fun 4 everyone.
I'm 29 and I got to work as a musician in a jazz bar with no formal education whatsoever where every night I would play with a different insanely good musics professor or even Berklee graduate. And I actually managed to not suck while doing this job for two years. This one dude told me "you're good on the guitar, so you'll probably be good at Dark Souls". I'm never trying Dark Souls. I get the feeling that if I was ever good at this type of "challenging" games I wouldn't be good at anything else lol I don't always play on easy, but I have enough in my life so I would never actually feel like a loser if I suck at a certain game. It's such a childish thing to be so competitive at such trivial things. I absolutely love video games, they are an art form like no other and just having access to it to me is its own reward. I don't play games to be good. I play games cause they're good. While I do sort of understand people who take it too seriously, bottom line is there are people who just want to enjoy that game, not break five controllers in order to get that golden trophy that only 1% of people unlocked. Plus I used to own a Sega Mega Drive when I was 7 years old, so when I see the word "difficulty" in a game nowadays I can only laugh.
I feel like many of these devs came from merciless arcade games, like from those old flash games or custom games from sc, wc3, c&c, etc., who intentionally made it hard to beat games/maps for people to suffer through. Only now, since they have to make an easy mode for their game, they have to humiliate you.
Yeah because remember on the NES for instance you just get game over as you play the Mario games if you have zero lives left. You had to start from scratch. I think many people forget that. We as kids could not even get further so what's the deal about the newer mario games? I don't understand that and also dark souls is easy peasy if you are from that decade. Most games are way to easy in my opinion. The real " Get GUD" is back from the 80s and 90s.
@@Vanadium I grew up in the 90s and most of the games we had (not very man) were just never finished. We played them.until we got game over and that was that. Now and again you got a bit further but never finished them. Thinking back, that was pretty shit but I guess it gave you a bit of a hard life lesson. I haven't played dark souls but I have Bloodborne. I STRUGGLED through that game I have to say. I found it extremely tough. I just wanted to point out, just because you played some tough games when you were young has nothing to do with how good you are at modern games. Hell, even think of the skills needed for those old games (hand eye, timing and quick reflexes were just about it). Modern games require much more broad skills as the games are more complex.
@@Vanadium Yeah, like I beat Ninja Gaiden Black on the hardest difficulty at age 7-9. Is still one of my all time favorite games, and I still think it's one of the toughest modern games out there. But when they released the new NES, I bought it, and it comes with a bunch of old NES games including Ninja Gaiden. And wow, the old ninja gaidens were pretty damn tough.
@@thestonegoose Yep you'd play for a few hours until you get pissed off then shut off the system and go outside or call a friend over to help. If your lucky he has a magazine that had cheats in it lol
At the end of the day video games are meant to be fun. Some achieve this by putting it on easy mode and any higher difficulty can ruin the experience especially when people play for the story or just to kick back and turn off their brains. So when a game asks what difficulty level you want to play its just asking which one gives you most enjoyment.
This may be too late but it would be absolutely sad if you can't beat a game on easy mode and have a hard time and honestly you deserve to be mocked if that's ever the case
@@hoobadoobamaster8551 …so wait… Your opinion is basically that people on the lower end of a particular skill spectrum deserve to be mocked? Gosh, that just makes you sound like a grade-school bully… No thank you…
That's the spirit! Don't let some overly competitive gamers gatekeeps on how you should enjoy playing games. I usually start playing games on Normal mode cause that's like a default difficulty for me where everything is pretty much balance
Agreed. This is particularly a point of contention for me with single-player games whose publishers insist we not play with mods. Whom am I hurting? I like having all the money in games if I can't have that irl, lol.
The MegaMan EZ option is an exception for myself. I'm a Army veteran and a squad mate and friend, that I used to play games with on our downtime, received some life destroying head trauma that caused significant difficulty with being a human. This drove him to attempt the final salute... Thankfully his condition and luck made even that desperate relief impossible for him. After many nights feeling like I had teasing him with the happiness he'll never again experience, I found out about EZ on MegaMan and I was able to finally save us both from ourselves. Even if just pretending nothing happened... The worst torture for either of us is knowing that he's still in there fully unchanged, but trapped in a body that doesn't speak the same language as his brain anymore, and there's not a thing that will help him. My own mind is experiencing advanced symptoms from the traumatic injuries and exposure I've suffered and don't know how long before I can't remember myself, much less him, costing us both the only people who know who we really are.
I’d argue that it is sometimes really fun to play on Easy (take Uncharted on Explorer mode for example, blasting your way through enemies while invincible makes you fell like a badass)
I used to play all story games on easy before I started playing battlefield when I was younger. If you die all the time it ruins the flow of a good narrative but as you get better you should adjust the difficulty. Once you know what you're doing the challenge adds to the experience in the beginning it can be more annoying than anything.
Not really on Easy, but in Deadpool: The Game, he broke the Fourth Wall, and told me to hand the controller to someone who doesn't suck. I finished the level, saved and quit.
These days i always play on easy mode. I'm in it for the experience and the story, fighting bosses for 30 minutes straight is just boring for me. They can poke fun all they want :D
I played god of war 1 for the first time recently there was an underwater traps puzzle that I kept dying to the game asked me if I wanted to switch to easy which will only apply to combat WHICH WAS NOT THE THING I WAS DYING TO
i think an honorable mention should had been Postal 2's Liebermode difficulty. Not even the police have guns, they mostly ignore your crimes, health items rain over you and the mode punishes you by not getting rocket and napalm launchers, wich are the funnest most powerful weapons in the game. The "Liebermode" name is a reference to Joe Lieberman who was against violent videogames, they named it like this because this mode basically takes away most of the violence of the game. Now, being the most violent videogame in history, that's a lot.
In MGSV I was asked once whether I want the chicken hat; it was during one of the first missions where you have to mark and destroy three satellite antennas. And although I denied the chicken hat, I didn't feel humiliated. I was laughing tears, because up until this point I haven't seen such a funny question pop up whenever I was having a hard time getting through some level. The thing I find even more funny and which I didn't know up until now is that there is a second chicken hat making you literally invisible :D
I remember getting it once, I didn't feel insulted, but I felt upset with myself for managing to get such a dumb message to pop up, ofcourse I denied it and instead increased the difficulty instead. If i see stuff like this in a game, I take it as a challenge like "oh you think I can't handle it? let me show you!" I play games like Killing Floor, Killing Floor 2, Back4Blood ..etc on hardest possible difficulty, because that's what I find challenging. I'm so used to those modes, that they often seem too easy.
To be honest, I always play on easy or story mode with story games. When I finish the story line or whatever i start a new playthrough and play normal or hard since I got the controls and game mechanics down.
With the direction games are going in now, and how much more insane they've gotten. Like graphics, world size, new mechanics and animation. I think wanted could have a decent remake
There is also an indie boxing game named "Billion Beats" When you choose to play on easy, you win no matter the outcome of the fight and when you finish the game you get insulted and they tell you that you should have played the game on normal instead of ruining it
I can deal with games making fun of me for playing on difficulty. But the one thing I absolutely despise is when games prevent you from finishing the game until you play on a different difficulty setting. No amount of explanation as to why you can’t beat it on easy mode will ever make that okay. Sometimes I just want to vibe to the story
Just a comment on the very first one (and may be applicable to other games in the list as well). Games like Super Mario Galaxy 2 weren't designed for hard core gamers, but to be openly accessible and playable by all, across multiple ability and age levels. My son has 20/400 vision (legally blind), and has severe brain damage to where at 9 years old he has the brain development of a 2-3 year old. And he loves Mario games to the point that he could spend all day doing it on his switch if he could. And if Nintendo didn't put in modes such as this and the one where the player won't die when hitting items, my son would fail every time. He also loves Mario Kart 8 where he doesn't have to worry about steering the best or having to brake for corners- these are simply too complex for someone like him to be able to process. So features like this are not "humiliating" players, but what they are doing is opening the door for players that without these features would not get any entertainment or joy from the games. I am only speaking towards specific games that include specific features that are not their to humiliate but rather to assist. Some items on this list truly do aim to humiliate, but those are games that aren't designed or have the desire to be accessible as they are more hardcore games. In example, you will never see my son playing Metal Gear Solid, because that isn't a "family friendly" game designed for players of all types and levels.
Can you people realize that the world doesn’t revolve around the disabled. Most people don’t have to deal with this, it’s humiliating to people who aren’t disabled or something. Being treated like a cripple if you aren’t, is embarrassing. It’s not embarrassing for your son because he is in fact a cripple
@@saaaahduuuuude1228 the world *should* revolve around the disabled actually. Disabled people shouldn't have to accommodate you, it should be the other way around. Mario is geared towards families and a lot of its player base are children, children may need an assist (like in mario odyssey if you play on assist mode you won't immediately die). If you take offense to getting assists on a game when you play on easy, put on your big boy britches and play on hard like a real man.
The insulting part comes with them giving you a bronze star for using this mode and not letting you get to the final boss... If it's meant to be accessible for everyone, why do they punish someone for using the assist mode by locking away the final boss. Let them have fun and give them that final ending. I agree, games like Mario should be accessible to everyone. Games spark joy in so many people and every one should have the opportunity to experience one.
I hate games that mock you for not wanting to spend hours and hours perfecting their combat system/stressing out over literal pixels on a screen. If you want the challenge, go for it, but it's shitty of devs to mock a player for just wanting to have fun in a literal game.
I pretty much always play on normal because it most often feels like the game was built around that difficulty setting. Still, I don't really get why you would need to insult players who play on easy settings since there are a lot of people who really don't play games that much and thus have very limited skill so it's kinda stupid to demoralize those players with limited skill by insulting them.
@Hephaistos Accessibility is for people with who are disabled and deal with making it so they can use a product or service. Like for example, using colors that colorblind people can tell apart. It has nothing to do with video game difficulty. Video games are created for a purpose. All of these games on this list were created to challenging. Removing the challenge kills the game which is why they mock the player.
I'm so glad modern developers (mostly) consider accessibility a vital part of game design now. Also heartily glad the 'beat the game on Hard' trophies/achievements seem to be going the way off the Dodo too.
I'd like to see a series where you and Jake "grain-of-salt" baldino discuss a game in a back and forth style. Y'all could even argue different viewpoints to give it some drama
I used to play Monkey Island 2 on Easy for years when I was a wee guy (about 8 or 9 on Amiga A1200), I remember playing on PC years later and coming across all these puzzles I'd never seen
I mean personally, I play on easy because I like playing a lot of different games, I currently have about 5 with battle passes and several story driven games. I don’t have time to play on hard difficultly on all my story games. If I enjoy the game enough I’ll replay it on harder difficulties, but I do enjoy having the option to bring able to breeze through games.
@@davipenha I’ve heard 3 people advocating easy mode for this reason, it makes no sense. Is the only goal just how many games can I play in a year? Jesus, what a boring attitude towards games
Another game that goes rough on the player by choosing an "easy mode" is Pathologic 2, if you died at least 15 times (which is really easy to die like that), you will have an offer from the Fellow Traveler, he will remove all the penalties from dying, restoring your health, stamina, infection and imunity bar to normal. The catch is, you want things to be easy, so now you won't see the end of the game.
I just started playing DMC 3 today and it did show the easy mode message to me xD That Ice Guardian is just horrible for someone who's playing DMC for the first time, come on!
Well why would you offer easy mode in the first place hmm developers?? You had to have played through your own game on easy for testing so why you be judging us?
I have a TBI before I could play first person shooters with ease now most games I have to ease into it and get the muscle memory in because the way my brain works I always try for normal but most games I have to do on the lower level because the way my brain works now due to the injuries sustained in Afghanistan
What's the most boggling thing with the Wanted entry is that the description is sensible and reads as: Suitable for users playing a shooter for the first time. I do like that they moved away from insulting gamers for wanting to play an easier difficulty because maybe they're new to gaming or not that good. Devs finally stopped gatekeeping gamers 👍 Watching streamers made me realize that some people just aren't that good at certain games but they want to experience the story or are passionate about a series. More people should definitely be able to enjoy a game without judgment.
I haven't had this happen to me before but I usually like playing new games on easy first because I want to look at the story first and after I beat it the first time I go for like the second hardest difficulty
Love the mega man one. They basically say: "oh you can't play normal difficulty? ok we can't make the actual game more easier so let's just make it a walking sim"
I hate it when games give you crap about playing on easy. If it's a good game I prefer to play on easy the first time to be able to enjoy the game. Then a couple years later when I play again I play it on a harder mode to challenge myself.
Whatever game it is I always make sure to play either normal or hard. For me it's a better experience to play the way the creator wanted it to be played. Being challenged is also fun.
Same. It'd not be worth the money if you beat it without any challenges anyways. Especially since you lose out on alot of the experience (e.g. Puzzles, challenges) that may be ommited or downright easy if not on normal / hard. The difficulty is part of the experience and is why I really like FromSoftware games where there's no difficulty level at all lol, you just play the game.
Haha, only if the AI actually is better. I hate shooter's or any game you have to fight , economy or with real weapons when the Devs are to lazy and just make the enemy's bullet sponges or and make them cheat. Most oblivious RTS is the Total War frenchies. They won't push their combat and economy AI. They are so bad that they cheat so much, it's unbelievable..
I swear FromSoftware just have their developers just remote control the enemies to troll you. Lost so many souls from situations that I should've survived in but got steam rolled
The chicken hat is awesome, and I’m sure at some point it will be in the game as a cosmetic, and that would be fantastic. Thanks for another great video.
Shattered Steel for PC. Came out in 1996. If you were having trouble beating missions, they had in game cheats you could turn on. If you turn on Invincibility, the main character would call you out on it. "Okay buddy, you ARE bullet proof." If you then turn on the Infinite Ammo cheat, the game would call you out again. "You, my friend, are TRULY a coward."
Sometimes it's more difficult being in the gray area in a gamers spectrum. One side I want to enjoy the story, other side I want a challenge. Then there's the outliers like time. Sports are similar in a way.
One rule I've had since as long as I've been playing video games is that whenever I get a new game I always play them at easy to understand the story and to connect with the characters
Surprised not to see Cruelty Squad, a game that turns you into a faceless flesh blob if you die enough to be knocked down to easy mode, and then still kicks your ass.
_Rise of the Triad_ had a few jabs for playing on easy. The different difficulties all had fun names, and easy was always things like "I am a chew toy" and "Dig my grave. Now."
I've always loved the witcher difficulty settings. What do you want? Story only? A little of both? Or do you want to spend way more time fighting than anything else? Lol
I like to play on easy always do but I start on normal and go to easy if its to hard if I have a choice, if not its mostly directly easy. Just want to enjoy the Story, i'm a Single Player.
I once failed a song on easy in Guitar Hero 2. I subsequently unlocked an achievement "Long Road Ahead." We were all surprised that there was an actual achievement for this as nobody in my dorm had ever failed a song on easy. Funny enough, 3 months later, my dorm had a GH3 competition, and I ended up winning it.
I don't care what it wants to call easy mode. I just play the game to wind down after my day's done. I'm not in it for any big competition or anything. Heck, I don't even notice 99% of those "play on easy" tropes anyway in the menus.
Not to mention in metal gear solid 5, the whole reason why nobody does anything when u r caught 3 times is because the enemy is literally pointing and laughing at u....the enemy is too busy laughing at you to do anything.....serious burn lol. The being said, I absolutely love the look of the chicken hat, it's definitely a kojima thing.
i like how Ranarok goes about difficulty it just feel like a real game that is trying to challenge you along the way instead of just giving you the cookie
I wonder how many games give you bogus endings for cheating. Like the original Rise of the Triad, if you enter God Mode and beat the game, instead of getting the ending you hear the developers saying “You suuuuuuck!”
first game which came to my mind was Postal 4,for not only mockingly name your saves,but mor importantly,ut went the Edna Mode way saying "NO ACHIEVEMENTS!"
Sometimes I like to play on the easiest possible difficulty even if it's insulting especially in open world RPGs cuz I like to experience the story and the world without having to grind a lot, but I like hard difficulty in shooting games cuz it's more fun that way.
Only games I like "easy" mode, are those "drinking and eating" simulators, it has always annoyed me in some open world games that have thirst and food levels, but on harder mode they just go down so fast that if you do one thing, turn around .. and your food is almost empty, that's not challenging, that's just annoying! In those games I either write a trainer to freeze food and drink or just set it on lower if it doesn't effect other aspects of the game. Otherwise I always prefer harder modes.
that kinda takes away the whole point of gathering some resources, but i totally understand if you don't like them, sometimes i download some mods that reduces the time it takes for you to starve or disable the feature in some cases where other gameplay elements are way more important than staying healthy@@SethiozProject
You too huh, tm3 that blimp level. Fuckin metal!!!🤘😈🤘favorite cars, Auger, club kid, hotrod (i think was the name of the pyro car, been years can't recal), and outlaw. Started with tm2 but 3 was my jam
side note: the game Critical Depth(also made by the Twisted Metal people), also roadblocked part of the game on Easy but you at least got to get 2/3 through the game
I can agree with Number 1. After watching my bf die multiple times while fighting Cerberus I couldn't keep myself from laughing a little when the game said "Easy mode is now selectable".
Wrong with DMC and resident evil, you play it on easy mode, get more weapons and stamina, complete the game, then play it on harder difficulties. I didn't feel like the game was mocking me and it had to be done with DMC 3 as the normal mode was actually hard mode
You should definitely do a video about the easiest games on the hardest difficulty, both insomniac spiderman games should be on that list because they are too damn easy where I can play the game casually on ultimate. I wonder how many more games are like that
I forgot about the n64 castlevania game that if you play on easy stops half way into the game and basically says screw off now go back start over and do it right literally ending the game half way into it. What a slap in the face!

Ya, some games you just wanna check each difficulty to see what it's like. But you'll lower it with the flip of a switch, and then cannot raise it, and lose the achievement, and weren't warned. Most games do warn you fortunately that you can't raise the difficulty back again (which makes sense) but some games don't do such a good job of fully explaining what you could miss out on.
Except easy mode only triggers on the first chapter, it never occurs again, so this is mostly for players who can't even beat the freaking Murai.

In Ninja Gaiden II, there's an achievement called "Indomitable Spirit" for choosing to continue the game 100 times after dying (doesn't have to be consecutive). Definitely felt like a back-handed compliment that made me laugh! XD
There's also one for Call of Duty: World At War called "Purple Heart" which you get for dying 20 times in a level.
Another insult to injury in Godhand is that the game adjusts difficulty in-game based on how well you can fight without taking damage/doing combos.
And the only way to lower the difficulty in game is to learn a move where you apologize to the enemy for forgiveness to reduce the difficulty.
Should do a list of games that, when released, were set in the future, but are now in the past.
If they don't want people playing "Easy mode", they wouldn't put it in as an option. Some people don't play games to get good at them. They play simply to have fun. Some people have fun putting themselves through torture on the hardest mode. Others have fun playing on easy because it's more about chilling out and relaxing.
Yup, I play games to have fun, not bust my ass.
I'll play on a difficulty higher then easy when I feel i've learned enough about the game to decide I want to challenge myself with more difficulty.
its more that they want to learn how to play it so you can try it on a proper difficulty. Its why many games lock out later levels or proper endings on game journalist mode.

I will never apologize 4 playing on Easy. I play games 2 de-stress and have fun. Not 2 rage or die a million times.
Exactly!
9 year olds :- Real gamers play on hard mode. U pus for playin on easy.
Well they got nothing else to worry about. Homework maybe. But We got life and real things to do. Thus when we play games, we play to refresh and relax.
@@yugbhardwaj9744 thats another thing with hard mode players. They always make dumb insults 4 how everyone else plays. Grow up! Let people enjoy games how they want 2!! Dying lots of times or losing a bunch simply isnt fun 4 everyone.
I'm 29 and I got to work as a musician in a jazz bar with no formal education whatsoever where every night I would play with a different insanely good musics professor or even Berklee graduate. And I actually managed to not suck while doing this job for two years.
This one dude told me "you're good on the guitar, so you'll probably be good at Dark Souls". I'm never trying Dark Souls. I get the feeling that if I was ever good at this type of "challenging" games I wouldn't be good at anything else lol
I don't always play on easy, but I have enough in my life so I would never actually feel like a loser if I suck at a certain game. It's such a childish thing to be so competitive at such trivial things. I absolutely love video games, they are an art form like no other and just having access to it to me is its own reward. I don't play games to be good. I play games cause they're good. While I do sort of understand people who take it too seriously, bottom line is there are people who just want to enjoy that game, not break five controllers in order to get that golden trophy that only 1% of people unlocked.
Plus I used to own a Sega Mega Drive when I was 7 years old, so when I see the word "difficulty" in a game nowadays I can only laugh.
Y’know, pretty sure someone committed suicide ‘cause of this.
I feel like many of these devs came from merciless arcade games, like from those old flash games or custom games from sc, wc3, c&c, etc., who intentionally made it hard to beat games/maps for people to suffer through. Only now, since they have to make an easy mode for their game, they have to humiliate you.
Yeah because remember on the NES for instance you just get game over as you play the Mario games if you have zero lives left. You had to start from scratch.
I think many people forget that. We as kids could not even get further so what's the deal about the newer mario games? I don't understand that and also dark souls is easy peasy if you are from that decade. Most games are way to easy in my opinion. The real " Get GUD" is back from the 80s and 90s.
@@Vanadium I grew up in the 90s and most of the games we had (not very man) were just never finished. We played them.until we got game over and that was that. Now and again you got a bit further but never finished them. Thinking back, that was pretty shit but I guess it gave you a bit of a hard life lesson.
I haven't played dark souls but I have Bloodborne. I STRUGGLED through that game I have to say. I found it extremely tough. I just wanted to point out, just because you played some tough games when you were young has nothing to do with how good you are at modern games. Hell, even think of the skills needed for those old games (hand eye, timing and quick reflexes were just about it). Modern games require much more broad skills as the games are more complex.
@@Vanadium Yeah, like I beat Ninja Gaiden Black on the hardest difficulty at age 7-9. Is still one of my all time favorite games, and I still think it's one of the toughest modern games out there. But when they released the new NES, I bought it, and it comes with a bunch of old NES games including Ninja Gaiden. And wow, the old ninja gaidens were pretty damn tough.
@@thestonegoose Yep you'd play for a few hours until you get pissed off then shut off the system and go outside or call a friend over to help. If your lucky he has a magazine that had cheats in it lol

I see you chose the easy mode in real life.
@@As_Arturas
Lol.
At the end of the day video games are meant to be fun. Some achieve this by putting it on easy mode and any higher difficulty can ruin the experience especially when people play for the story or just to kick back and turn off their brains. So when a game asks what difficulty level you want to play its just asking which one gives you most enjoyment.
for you, I take normal to be "we balanced the game around this" and then sometimes I go "okay this is too easy" and go above to hard /difficult
This may be too late but it would be absolutely sad if you can't beat a game on easy mode and have a hard time and honestly you deserve to be mocked if that's ever the case
No
I tried to play a game on hard once and never finished the game
@@hoobadoobamaster8551 …so wait… Your opinion is basically that people on the lower end of a particular skill spectrum deserve to be mocked? Gosh, that just makes you sound like a grade-school bully… No thank you…

I'm 50 and had a stroke so I play on easy

I started once I hit 30 lol. Just don't have the time anymore.
@@dalpaengi your 74 year old what lol
@@CasepbX ? For the most part normal is still quite easy in story games.. I did have to turn down fallen order tho heh
If a game even looks at me wrong, I’ll put it on easy so fast.
I'm not here to get frustrated on levels of games when I spent my time at work
I'm here to just have fun! Screw competition
That's the spirit! Don't let some overly competitive gamers gatekeeps on how you should enjoy playing games.
I usually start playing games on Normal mode cause that's like a default difficulty for me where everything is pretty much balance
Agreed. This is particularly a point of contention for me with single-player games whose publishers insist we not play with mods. Whom am I hurting? I like having all the money in games if I can't have that irl, lol.
damn these people suffer from a severe case of skill issue, not even normal mode people??????????
The MegaMan EZ option is an exception for myself. I'm a Army veteran and a squad mate and friend, that I used to play games with on our downtime, received some life destroying head trauma that caused significant difficulty with being a human. This drove him to attempt the final salute... Thankfully his condition and luck made even that desperate relief impossible for him.
After many nights feeling like I had teasing him with the happiness he'll never again experience, I found out about EZ on MegaMan and I was able to finally save us both from ourselves. Even if just pretending nothing happened...
The worst torture for either of us is knowing that he's still in there fully unchanged, but trapped in a body that doesn't speak the same language as his brain anymore, and there's not a thing that will help him. My own mind is experiencing advanced symptoms from the traumatic injuries and exposure I've suffered and don't know how long before I can't remember myself, much less him, costing us both the only people who know who we really are.

I’d argue that it is sometimes really fun to play on Easy (take Uncharted on Explorer mode for example, blasting your way through enemies while invincible makes you fell like a badass)
Playing games on easy or normal does not make me feel badass.
I used to play all story games on easy before I started playing battlefield when I was younger.
If you die all the time it ruins the flow of a good narrative but as you get better you should adjust the difficulty.
Once you know what you're doing the challenge adds to the experience in the beginning it can be more annoying than anything.
@@EikottXD good for you
Me not playing video games makes me feel like a dumbass.
The Force Unleashed 2 one is hilarious 😂
Not really on Easy, but in Deadpool: The Game, he broke the Fourth Wall, and told me to hand the controller to someone who doesn't suck.
I finished the level, saved and quit.

So successful troll by Deadpool
These days i always play on easy mode. I'm in it for the experience and the story, fighting bosses for 30 minutes straight is just boring for me. They can poke fun all they want :D

i think an honorable mention should had been Postal 2's Liebermode difficulty. Not even the police have guns, they mostly ignore your crimes, health items rain over you and the mode punishes you by not getting rocket and napalm launchers, wich are the funnest most powerful weapons in the game. The "Liebermode" name is a reference to Joe Lieberman who was against violent videogames, they named it like this because this mode basically takes away most of the violence of the game. Now, being the most violent videogame in history, that's a lot.
In MGSV I was asked once whether I want the chicken hat; it was during one of the first missions where you have to mark and destroy three satellite antennas. And although I denied the chicken hat, I didn't feel humiliated. I was laughing tears, because up until this point I haven't seen such a funny question pop up whenever I was having a hard time getting through some level. The thing I find even more funny and which I didn't know up until now is that there is a second chicken hat making you literally invisible :D
I remember getting it once, I didn't feel insulted, but I felt upset with myself for managing to get such a dumb message to pop up, ofcourse I denied it and instead increased the difficulty instead.
If i see stuff like this in a game, I take it as a challenge like "oh you think I can't handle it? let me show you!"
I play games like Killing Floor, Killing Floor 2, Back4Blood ..etc on hardest possible difficulty, because that's what I find challenging. I'm so used to those modes, that they often seem too easy.
To be honest, I always play on easy or story mode with story games. When I finish the story line or whatever i start a new playthrough and play normal or hard since I got the controls and game mechanics down.
👌🏼
@@gameranxTV Dammmn y'all replied in under a minute😂😂
With the direction games are going in now, and how much more insane they've gotten. Like graphics, world size, new mechanics and animation. I think wanted could have a decent remake
There is also an indie boxing game named "Billion Beats" When you choose to play on easy, you win no matter the outcome of the fight and when you finish the game you get insulted and they tell you that you should have played the game on normal instead of ruining it
I can deal with games making fun of me for playing on difficulty. But the one thing I absolutely despise is when games prevent you from finishing the game until you play on a different difficulty setting. No amount of explanation as to why you can’t beat it on easy mode will ever make that okay. Sometimes I just want to vibe to the story
If a game did that I'd just ask for my money back tbh
damn bro you can't even beat the normal difficulty?
I remember one of the Guitar Hero games making fun of you for playing on easy. It did that by NOT allowing you to unlock Free Bird!

I literally remember feeling insulted as a 10 year old kid 😂 “what, do they think I’m stupid?!” (Mario gal 2)
and then you started crying and rage quitted like a LOSER you are?
Just a comment on the very first one (and may be applicable to other games in the list as well). Games like Super Mario Galaxy 2 weren't designed for hard core gamers, but to be openly accessible and playable by all, across multiple ability and age levels.
My son has 20/400 vision (legally blind), and has severe brain damage to where at 9 years old he has the brain development of a 2-3 year old. And he loves Mario games to the point that he could spend all day doing it on his switch if he could. And if Nintendo didn't put in modes such as this and the one where the player won't die when hitting items, my son would fail every time. He also loves Mario Kart 8 where he doesn't have to worry about steering the best or having to brake for corners- these are simply too complex for someone like him to be able to process.
So features like this are not "humiliating" players, but what they are doing is opening the door for players that without these features would not get any entertainment or joy from the games.
I am only speaking towards specific games that include specific features that are not their to humiliate but rather to assist. Some items on this list truly do aim to humiliate, but those are games that aren't designed or have the desire to be accessible as they are more hardcore games. In example, you will never see my son playing Metal Gear Solid, because that isn't a "family friendly" game designed for players of all types and levels.
Can you people realize that the world doesn’t revolve around the disabled. Most people don’t have to deal with this, it’s humiliating to people who aren’t disabled or something.
Being treated like a cripple if you aren’t, is embarrassing. It’s not embarrassing for your son because he is in fact a cripple
@@saaaahduuuuude1228 the world *should* revolve around the disabled actually. Disabled people shouldn't have to accommodate you, it should be the other way around. Mario is geared towards families and a lot of its player base are children, children may need an assist (like in mario odyssey if you play on assist mode you won't immediately die). If you take offense to getting assists on a game when you play on easy, put on your big boy britches and play on hard like a real man.
The insulting part comes with them giving you a bronze star for using this mode and not letting you get to the final boss... If it's meant to be accessible for everyone, why do they punish someone for using the assist mode by locking away the final boss. Let them have fun and give them that final ending. I agree, games like Mario should be accessible to everyone. Games spark joy in so many people and every one should have the opportunity to experience one.
I hate games that mock you for not wanting to spend hours and hours perfecting their combat system/stressing out over literal pixels on a screen. If you want the challenge, go for it, but it's shitty of devs to mock a player for just wanting to have fun in a literal game.
I pretty much always play on normal because it most often feels like the game was built around that difficulty setting. Still, I don't really get why you would need to insult players who play on easy settings since there are a lot of people who really don't play games that much and thus have very limited skill so it's kinda stupid to demoralize those players with limited skill by insulting them.
Most casual players don’t play the type of games that insult easy mode, though. Know your limitations. Lol
Lmaoo
You should have a thicker skin lol. Plus when I think easy I don't think new players I think Game Journalists
they need to matured up and take the insult, they know they have skill issue therefore deal w the mockery
@Hephaistos Accessibility is for people with who are disabled and deal with making it so they can use a product or service. Like for example, using colors that colorblind people can tell apart. It has nothing to do with video game difficulty. Video games are created for a purpose. All of these games on this list were created to challenging. Removing the challenge kills the game which is why they mock the player.
I'm so glad modern developers (mostly) consider accessibility a vital part of game design now. Also heartily glad the 'beat the game on Hard' trophies/achievements seem to be going the way off the Dodo too.
I'd like to see a series where you and Jake "grain-of-salt" baldino discuss a game in a back and forth style. Y'all could even argue different viewpoints to give it some drama
The’re the same person.
Ever see them in the same room?
I used to play Monkey Island 2 on Easy for years when I was a wee guy (about 8 or 9 on Amiga A1200), I remember playing on PC years later and coming across all these puzzles I'd never seen
I mean personally, I play on easy because I like playing a lot of different games, I currently have about 5 with battle passes and several story driven games. I don’t have time to play on hard difficultly on all my story games. If I enjoy the game enough I’ll replay it on harder difficulties, but I do enjoy having the option to bring able to breeze through games.
Maybe you are playing to much?
Aka youre just a 🐱
Normal mode
Why are you even playing if you are only caring about have to finish and begin other games. You can actually take a time in the same game or just quit
@@davipenha I’ve heard 3 people advocating easy mode for this reason, it makes no sense. Is the only goal just how many games can I play in a year? Jesus, what a boring attitude towards games
I've never paid much attention to difficulty levels. I just adjust it untill the game feels right and go from there
Another game that goes rough on the player by choosing an "easy mode" is Pathologic 2, if you died at least 15 times (which is really easy to die like that), you will have an offer from the Fellow Traveler, he will remove all the penalties from dying, restoring your health, stamina, infection and imunity bar to normal. The catch is, you want things to be easy, so now you won't see the end of the game.
I just started playing DMC 3 today and it did show the easy mode message to me xD That Ice Guardian is just horrible for someone who's playing DMC for the first time, come on!

Am I the only one who plays on easy then medium then hard and plays through the game multiple times?
I do it only in games i really love, like ghost of tsushima
Medium, to hard etc
Yeah, Dragon Age Inquisition and Witcher 3. I played multiple times on multiple difficulties. Both two of my favourite platinums.

I have a TBI before I could play first person shooters with ease now most games I have to ease into it and get the muscle memory in because the way my brain works I always try for normal but most games I have to do on the lower level because the way my brain works now due to the injuries sustained in Afghanistan
What's the most boggling thing with the Wanted entry is that the description is sensible and reads as: Suitable for users playing a shooter for the first time. I do like that they moved away from insulting gamers for wanting to play an easier difficulty because maybe they're new to gaming or not that good. Devs finally stopped gatekeeping gamers 👍 Watching streamers made me realize that some people just aren't that good at certain games but they want to experience the story or are passionate about a series. More people should definitely be able to enjoy a game without judgment.
I haven't had this happen to me before but I usually like playing new games on easy first because I want to look at the story first and after I beat it the first time I go for like the second hardest difficulty
Love the mega man one. They basically say: "oh you can't play normal difficulty? ok we can't make the actual game more easier so let's just make it a walking sim"
Monkey Island made a journalist mode before we even wanted one.
I hate it when games give you crap about playing on easy. If it's a good game I prefer to play on easy the first time to be able to enjoy the game. Then a couple years later when I play again I play it on a harder mode to challenge myself.
Love the video keep up the great work
Whatever game it is I always make sure to play either normal or hard. For me it's a better experience to play the way the creator wanted it to be played. Being challenged is also fun.
Same here specially in games where hard mode or very hard mode give enemies better AI or forces you to use everything at you disposel to beat it
Same. It'd not be worth the money if you beat it without any challenges anyways. Especially since you lose out on alot of the experience (e.g. Puzzles, challenges) that may be ommited or downright easy if not on normal / hard. The difficulty is part of the experience and is why I really like FromSoftware games where there's no difficulty level at all lol, you just play the game.
Haha, only if the AI actually is better. I hate shooter's or any game you have to fight , economy or with real weapons when the Devs are to lazy and just make the enemy's bullet sponges or and make them cheat.
Most oblivious RTS is the Total War frenchies. They won't push their combat and economy AI. They are so bad that they cheat so much, it's unbelievable..
I swear FromSoftware just have their developers just remote control the enemies to troll you. Lost so many souls from situations that I should've survived in but got steam rolled
That’s why I love the nier series
I hate people who mock me for wanting a more casual playthrough.
I haven't played Monkey Island but I have been looking for something that said "play easy mode if you're a game journalist."
The chicken hat is awesome, and I’m sure at some point it will be in the game as a cosmetic, and that would be fantastic. Thanks for another great video.
As long as you're having fun playing the game, who tf cares what difficulty you're playing at lol

You should, if you a mental capable human being.
i LOVED the idea of MGSV chicken hat. more games should implement game busting mechanics like that especially when open world.
It's fun to use to mess with the AI even though it does look stupid
I hit Like before I even watch any Gameranx videos because I know you guys always release quality videos and I want to show my support.
Shattered Steel for PC. Came out in 1996.
If you were having trouble beating missions, they had in game cheats you could turn on.
If you turn on Invincibility, the main character would call you out on it. "Okay buddy, you ARE bullet proof."
If you then turn on the Infinite Ammo cheat, the game would call you out again. "You, my friend, are TRULY a coward."
Mgs3 gives you a "EZ Gun" on easier difficulties, it's suppressed with infinite tranq ammo
And 80% camo, silent footsteps!
Sometimes it's more difficult being in the gray area in a gamers spectrum. One side I want to enjoy the story, other side I want a challenge. Then there's the outliers like time. Sports are similar in a way.

I believe he pronounced it: "Dissajeeya"... 😂
what's worse is how he prnounced Nippon Icchi. Nippon aychee. god i love the mispronunciations.
All while throwing shade at "reviewers" who need easy mode, he exposes himself for being basically no different.
One rule I've had since as long as I've been playing video games is that whenever I get a new game I always play them at easy to understand the story and to connect with the characters
Lmao
damn bro man up
Surprised not to see Cruelty Squad, a game that turns you into a faceless flesh blob if you die enough to be knocked down to easy mode, and then still kicks your ass.
That game is like taking every LSD drug in the world.
Guys you are the best!! Keep on the good job 👍🏽
_Rise of the Triad_ had a few jabs for playing on easy. The different difficulties all had fun names, and easy was always things like "I am a chew toy" and "Dig my grave. Now."
Game Developers: You want to play on Easy Mode? Wuss.
Me: But I'm here for the story! It's a legitimate thing! :(
I've always loved the witcher difficulty settings. What do you want? Story only? A little of both? Or do you want to spend way more time fighting than anything else? Lol
It's always good to hear your voice falcon.
I like to play on easy always do but I start on normal and go to easy if its to hard if I have a choice, if not its mostly directly easy. Just want to enjoy the Story, i'm a Single Player.
I love this channel, keep up the fun content!
Glad you enjoy it!
Very good!
Wanted Weapons of fate is actually a very good and underrated game. Too short though but it was a game i had lots of fun with.
Lee Chucks revenge, my favorite monkey island game.
I once failed a song on easy in Guitar Hero 2. I subsequently unlocked an achievement "Long Road Ahead." We were all surprised that there was an actual achievement for this as nobody in my dorm had ever failed a song on easy.
Funny enough, 3 months later, my dorm had a GH3 competition, and I ended up winning it.
I don't care what it wants to call easy mode. I just play the game to wind down after my day's done. I'm not in it for any big competition or anything. Heck, I don't even notice 99% of those "play on easy" tropes anyway in the menus.
Not to mention in metal gear solid 5, the whole reason why nobody does anything when u r caught 3 times is because the enemy is literally pointing and laughing at u....the enemy is too busy laughing at you to do anything.....serious burn lol. The being said, I absolutely love the look of the chicken hat, it's definitely a kojima thing.
i like how Ranarok goes about difficulty it just feel like a real game that is trying to challenge you along the way instead of just giving you the cookie
Oh disgaea, one of my favorite tactics series! The prinny god was always one of my favorite
Just wanted to say, I was born with one arm. But even I've learned how to play games just fine.
I wonder how many games give you bogus endings for cheating.
Like the original Rise of the Triad, if you enter God Mode and beat the game, instead of getting the ending you hear the developers saying “You suuuuuuck!”
first game which came to my mind was Postal 4,for not only mockingly name your saves,but mor importantly,ut went the Edna Mode way saying "NO ACHIEVEMENTS!"
I haven't played Dishwasher but his Charlie Murder game was so fun to play
Sometimes I like to play on the easiest possible difficulty even if it's insulting especially in open world RPGs cuz I like to experience the story and the world without having to grind a lot, but I like hard difficulty in shooting games cuz it's more fun that way.
Only games I like "easy" mode, are those "drinking and eating" simulators, it has always annoyed me in some open world games that have thirst and food levels, but on harder mode they just go down so fast that if you do one thing, turn around .. and your food is almost empty, that's not challenging, that's just annoying! In those games I either write a trainer to freeze food and drink or just set it on lower if it doesn't effect other aspects of the game.
Otherwise I always prefer harder modes.
that kinda takes away the whole point of gathering some resources, but i totally understand if you don't like them, sometimes i download some mods that reduces the time it takes for you to starve or disable the feature in some cases where other gameplay elements are way more important than staying healthy@@SethiozProject
Twisted Metal is 100% the reason that I stopped playing on Easy as a kid.
You too huh, tm3 that blimp level. Fuckin metal!!!🤘😈🤘favorite cars, Auger, club kid, hotrod (i think was the name of the pyro car, been years can't recal), and outlaw. Started with tm2 but 3 was my jam

True.
Cup head be like no ending for you scrub
I loved dishwasher vs. I had no clue about pretty princess mode lmao
side note: the game Critical Depth(also made by the Twisted Metal people), also roadblocked part of the game on Easy but you at least got to get 2/3 through the game
I can agree with Number 1. After watching my bf die multiple times while fighting Cerberus I couldn't keep myself from laughing a little when the game said "Easy mode is now selectable".
did he choose yes? that's how you know if he deserves you or not
Wrong with DMC and resident evil, you play it on easy mode, get more weapons and stamina, complete the game, then play it on harder difficulties. I didn't feel like the game was mocking me and it had to be done with DMC 3 as the normal mode was actually hard mode
You should definitely do a video about the easiest games on the hardest difficulty, both insomniac spiderman games should be on that list because they are too damn easy where I can play the game casually on ultimate. I wonder how many more games are like that
I forgot about the n64 castlevania game that if you play on easy stops half way into the game and basically says screw off now go back start over and do it right literally ending the game half way into it. What a slap in the face!
