Top Spin 4 is a fine tennis game , until you reach the grand slam semi final , then it becomes virtually impossible , as the cpu player becomes super human , so i saved it before the semi final and kept replaying it , but never winning , this was on normal ,so today i switched it to easy , won easily , but i dont like playing on easy!!

I play a lot of FIFA and no matter who my opponent is in the cups, once I get to the quarter final the game is always harder, doesn't matter if I'm against Barcelona in the Champions League or Stevenage in the League Cup. It's not as impossible as your game seems though!
I like to play it on that first because its basically how the developers intended the game to be, then if i like the game i'll do it again on harder difficulties
I usual do CoD on normal and then veteran, with the occasional hard in between, i also played the uncharted trilogy and the last of us on Normal, then hard and the crushing/survivor
Harder runs through are more fun after a normal run
Yes they should, but I don't think the hardest setting should be locked to force multiple plays. It's just a poor way to increase longevity.
agreed and I also think the gamer score should be changed depending on difficulty used, when completing a game...
Normal = 25G
Hard/Heroic = 50G
Vet/Legendary = 75G
Insane = 100G
what do other gamer's think. do u agree ?.
I find games which don't have the hardest setting open from the start really annoying because that often requires a playthrough on hard to open really hard mode which means two hard playthrough.
I thought Trophies and Achievements were roughly alike because on PSN you often get games giving a Bronze for completing the game, a Silver for completing on Normal and a Gold for completing on the hardest setting.
Stuff like COD I'd probably have on normal as I'm not that great at FPS, if it was too difficult it'd probably make me that annoyed I wouldnt want to play it again.
I remember reading people complaining that Red Dead was too easy when it came out, but it was perfect for me. I dont really want to play games like that to get annoyed & frustrated at dying all the time - the story was the main thing for me.
I don't know. Have you tried the insane mode of Dead Space without the upgraded weapons from earlier plays?:eek:
I usually go for normal and then work my way up, if I can be bothered/if I like the game enough to go again.
Pro Evolution annoyed me as on the PS2 versions I used to play it on the hardest difficulty level (I think the highest was 6 stars that could be unlocked on PES 4) however I really struggled to do that on the PS3 versions. I've now accepted that I have to play at normal level.
Ur reflexes def slow down the older u get lol well that's my excuse for getting owned lol
I was more referring to XBL achievements. I just think that completing a game on Veteran or Insane should offer us a higher gamer score than the normal 50G. So for instance completing a COD game on Veteran would give u 50G for normal, 75G for Hard and 100G for Veteran, instead of 50+50+50 or whatever.
I had just assumed that was how it worked given we get a Gold for completing Veteran and a Silver for Normal. I always thought the Silver / Gold trophies roughly converted to gamer score values so on a Veteran win with a Gold would equate to 100G while a Normal win with a Silver would equate to 50G.
Yeah ur right HB, just checked Modern 3 and it's 100G for completing the game on Hardened or Veteran (dunno what I was thinking tbh lol). I thought it was 50G for each.
*I'll be standing over in the corner facing the wall if anyone wants me lol
I just think you get more out of the game at it's hardest setting. Depeding on the game the hardest setting is usually the most realistic or mode where you have to be most tactical, but I like to get used to the game first, and saving the hardest setting also gives me an excuse to play through it again and get a few more achievements.
they hold your hand all the way through, we have checkpoints every 2 seconds, unlimited lives, aim assist, steering assistant etc etc etc etc
i remember when games were actually games...the whole game was included at purchase....if you want extra content you didnt buy dlc, you unlocked stuff by doing well at the game....
you started on level 1 , if you died you started from the start, some games allowed you to collect lives, so you got to restart the level
now im gonna go back to playing my interactive cutscene masquerading as a video game
