Difficulty Level doesn't match previous games


Did anyone try playing this on Hardcore? I flew through the game in this mode and seemed to remember Hardcore being really hard in the previous games. So I put in the original Gears and set it to Hardcore. Now that is HARD (Dom also gets killed 10 seconds into any gunfight).

I'm playing on insane and not finding it that hard at all (it's about a "normal" setting for me), or should I say "less hard" then the previous 2?
It's still a challenge, just less of one.
Still, the unbelieveably bad AI of your team ruins the game...again. 3 games in and they still can't get it right?

Yeah the original Gears was a nightmare on the harder setting.
That's not cos the game itself was "hard" though. It was due to the fact the AI was so damn bad and the game "cheated".
There is a world of difference between a game actually being hard as in challenge, and just being hard cos of poor proraming.
Alas Gow3 still suffers from terrible AI, not as bad as the original I admit, but still horrible.

I found the same with the CoD games also. Getting MW3 a few weeks back and going straight into Vet difficulty, it was not as hard as the original on the same setting.

But is this a case of the games being "easier" or the player getting "better"?

Jesus died for our sins. As he's already dead...sin away.
