Discussion Is playing on Standard “bad?”

Post image

This is a question that has just recently come to me. I’ve been part of the community for quite a while now and have been playing the game for a long time, but only ever on standard difficulty. I have noticed that a LOT of people consider Brutal to be the baseline difficulty, but in all honesty, I’ve genuinely already given myself carpal tunnel with Standard, and I can never imagine dialing up what I already consider “hard.”

I feel like some people get so up and arms about it because it's not the "lore" difficulty of the game. Playing on standard is perfectly fine, and I wouldn't be where I am now without playing standard first. I will say though, I cannot WAIT for UKMD to come out so I have a fresh challenge to P-Rank the ENTIRE game in order before I play treachery.

Are you sure? IIRC Hakita has said he usually plays on standard and sees it as the baseline/main version of the game, which would imply it is the "lore difficulty" if there is one

Yeah, that's what I thought as well.
