Your Opinion On Artificial Difficulty?

Artificial difficulty is a method of increasing the challenge within a game by simply buffing the enemy's health and/or damage, while other aspects remain the same. An example of this would be the AI within most RPG and/or MMO games. The opposite of this, which I will call genuine difficulty, is where enemies will begin to behave in different ways and employ different tactics and smarter play as a method of increasing difficulty. An example of this would be the AI within most RTS and Fighting games. What's your opinion on artificial difficulty?

  • Just like you said - if it's an RPG or RPG-esque game built around stats, then it's totally acceptable. Damage checks and health checks are totally fine in those games. If not, then it's lazy and no.
