Instead of trying to make you feel better about choosing an easier setting, it instead plays to the player's ego. It won't be easy. At a time when video game developers were actively pushing the boundaries of what was and wasn't appropriate, there was one video game that caught a lot of flack from the media: Postal.
The game isn't necessarily more violent than other shooters in the 90s and early s, but the fact that the violence is seemingly unprompted made it a point of contention for a few high profile politicians. And even though this only prompted the game developers over at Running With Scissors to make their games that much bloodier, it also prompted the birth of a genius difficulty setting: Liebermode. When Postal 2 Redux was released for the 20th anniversary of the original game, it was given a new difficulty mode for players to choose.
The "Liebermode" is a not-so-subtle nod to former U. Senator Joe Lieberman , who went after the original game for being too excessively violent.
Because of Lieberman's targeting of the game, developers decided to give him his own special difficulty setting in which NPCs only have weak weapons like a taser or shovel. This seems like a nice way to make the game less violent for the naysaying politician Whether you love or hate the violence in the game, you have to admit that "Liebermode" is the perfect burn, twenty years in the making.
The Dishwasher series isn't easy to beat. The side-scrolling gory action game can be pretty punishing for first time players. But the second game in the series, The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile , has taken care of that problem for players who aren't the most skilled. If you die too many times while playing through the game, you'll unlock an achievement that comes with a new difficulty level.
The easiest mode for The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile , is called "Pretty Princess", and is only available to players who have died too many times on the other difficulty settings.
But the title isn't the only thing rubbing salt into the wound. When using this difficulty mode, the game itself becomes something right out of a kid's coloring book. Pink and purple lights dance across the screen and rainbows shoot out of your enemy's severed limbs. Instead of splashes of blood all over the screen, you see only the cutest of graphics.
If you didn't feel bad enough that your lack of skill in a game unlocked a new difficulty level, the endless rainbows and hearts are sure to finish off your ego. Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus.
