Any experienced gamer will confidently say that modern video games are not hardcore enough and are very easy to play. This is done in order to please the majority of users - the remaining small part may well find ways to "amuse themselves" on their own.
Instructions
Step 1
Play the game multiple times. Often, after completing on the "hard" level of difficulty, users are presented with "hardcore", which is designed to be as difficult as possible and cause the most problems during the passage. The benchmark in this regard can be considered Devil May cry 3, which could be completed about a dozen times and unlock all the new modes and complications. In the last stages, the main character died from one blow, while each enemy had a huge number of lives - what could be really hardcore?
Step 2
Try to get achievements. The so-called "achievements" are introduced by the developers not only to artificially increase the duration of the game, but also to set different rules for the players. In fact, this is a list of "Achievements" that the player needs to complete - and they are often quite difficult. For example, "give the final boss the final blow with your bare hands" or "kill 50 enemies from behind." The hunt for such achievements will greatly decorate the process of passing, make it more difficult and interesting.
Step 3
Use a handicap. This is a change to the initial conditions that all participants in the game agree to. For example, if you think that your opponent is much weaker than you, you can set yourself a handicap of 50%, and at the initial stage you will have half as many lives as his. Unfortunately, this system is not suitable for all games, but it is often present in strategy and fighting games.
Step 4
Play co-op. In games where there is a possibility of cooperative passage, there is an auto-balance system, which is designed to complicate the game in proportion to the number of players on the map. This is felt very strongly in games such as Diablo or Left 4 Dead, where each new user complicates the passage by one and a half to two times. If you carefully study the forums of a particular game, then you can find a way to "cheat" the system - it will assume that there are much more players on the map than there really is - and even then the gameplay will really become more intense.
